At last, on August 15th…I finally can sit down and write about July. But first, the playlist. As eclectic as I am 💙 And second, a photo of a Cassoulet. Because I love Cassoulet. The first 15 days of the month are now blurry to me. I remember receiving my aunt from London and trying her delicious rhubarb cooked in a slightly sweet syrup, but I probably don’t remember anything else. Well, I’m lying, we…
April started well, with an avocado with more flesh than pit. Life is good 🙂 It was a month with duality. It seemed like very polarized. There were moments with a lot of energy and others with a lot of rest. But also the perfect mixture of both at some point. I had a lot of work but also a lot of things to enjoy. When I say it this way it seems like I don’t really…
Good day, lovely visitor! How’s it going? Today I woke up in a particularly odd mood. I couldn’t really sleep last night. But I’m tired of being tired. So I decided I’d change my mood because we all have that power, believe it or not. It wasn’t an automatic response of the body. You have to go through a process. At least I have to. The result is: I am writing this at 18:08, in the afternoon, and after more…
August came and went. It was a special month for me. I’ve been working in a very special project. It’s our new single! I’m so excited that people is liking it so much and being so kind to tell us. Here you have the video: We had so much fun watching our baby videos. It was a beautiful project to work on. Of course I waited until the release to add the song to the playlist, but also because even…
Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day and you know I love celebrating everything. Ireland has a very special place in my heart. It’s been a second home for years, I have many friends there and most of the music I love comes from Irish writers. I’m guessing this year, many of them won’t be in the mood for celebrating. But I have found that it is best to celebrate when you are not in the mood. Why? Well, because mood is…
It’s a new year. There’s so many memories worth talking about in 2019, but I’m one of those that really enjoys just thinking about them instead of talking about them. There were some losses too. One of them really shook the end of the year and tinted all the Christmas festivities with a very different tone. But I’ve learnt a lot, and I keep learning. 2019 has been a constant learning experience, and I think I’ve never known my true…
Once upon a time, Sílvia met Juan Carlos Perret, head chef of Kero. She tried his food in a gastronomic event where she was performing. She told him how she’d love to go to his restaurant but never could because whenever she was in Vigo, it was closed (Sunday is a bitch) He then told her he loved her music too, so they talked for a couple of minutes and there started a very beautiful relationship. Well, actually…not quite that….
I love Medieval fairs, Renaissance fairs or any other themed fair that is supposed to be a recreation of another period of time I haven’t been able to live. Of course, I appreciate them more when they are so well done that you feel awful for not being dressed up. That is not the case of the one I’ll be talking about in this post. I am fascinated by how they sell anything that is handmade (not always, though) even…
Last month I was in Gijón because we were playing at Gijón Sound Festival. We arrived the day before the gig, so I had time to try a nice restaurant called Kausa Nikkei. I’m so glad I went to that place. Last time I tried something involving Japanese in Gijón, I remember I didn’t like it at all. I am a sushi addict, and not being able to like any of the pieces of sushi I ordered really made me…
I’m in Barcelona now and I’ll be staying for a couple of days working. I’m going to try and visit some new places and I’m pretty excited about it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Clara Orozco (@claror) A month ago, we were touring with Glen Hansard and one of the places we went to was Barcelona. I was so grateful, because it’s one of my favourite places to visit. I knew I wanted to visit Lomo…
