Well... I don't know how to define this, but...

(chorus)

♫ "Ella es la vampira........She's the vampire
que cambió mi vida.........that changed my life
cuando un sábado noche........when a Saturday night
me mordió en mi coche.......she bit me in my car.

Y ahora estoy perdido.........And now I'm lost
porque me he convertido..........cos I've become
en su amante clandestino,........her clandestine lover,
en su amante vampiro........her vampire lover..." ♫

Papá Topo: La chica vampira ("The Vampire Girl", 2011).

Does Tito & Tarantula do Spanish songs? I like 'em.

~~Assuriano~~ · 04-03-2011, 03:30 AM

buy the recent "ACID RUMBA" compilation, great stuff there and a good introduction to spanish psych flamenco and the likes!

Carlos Saura's "VIVRE VITE" soundtrack is also a good introdution

google "vinilisssimo" for good reeditions. try Banda Trapera del Rio for a punk

I only know La flor de mal ("The Bad Flower"):

It reminds me of the so-called Andalusian rock. BTW, we'll talk about it soon (Triana, Medina Azahara, etc.). Stay tuned.

Now, three new bands more: Edredón (it means eiderdown). Alternative / Electronica / Psychedelic. From the homonymous album, these songs are Querido pedagogo ("Dear Educator") and Bautismo ("Baptism"; here they sing in French, but never mind

):

If you liked it, try these two instrumental tracks too (click): Dialéctica ("Dialectics") and La bola de los anillos ("The Ball of the Rings").

* Cosmen Adelaida: A todo color ("Full Color"; a nice rhythm from minute 1:36 on). Odio París (that means "I hate Paris"

): Cuando nadie pone un disco ("When Nobody Puts On A Record").

Now we go to Chile. There's a vibrant indie scene there. In the last two years there's been a boom.

* Dënver (it's a duo). Eclectic music. Their last album is Música, Gramática, Gimnasia ("Music, Grammar, Gym", 2010). Adolescence as a common thread. These songs are Lo que quieras ("Anything You Wish") and Olas gigantes ("Giant Waves"):

Lo que quieras

♫ "Si el invierno te es muy largo........If Winter is too long for you
yo puedo acortarlo..............I could make it shorter.
Si te gustan los planetas.........If you like the planets
yo te los llevo a tu puerta...........I could take them to your door.

Y si quieres ver a Dios..........And if you want to see God
tengo su foto en un cajón............I have a photo of him in a drawer.
(...)" ♫

En medio de una fiesta ("In the Middle of a Party") and Los adolescentes ("The Teenagers"):

To be continued....

News:

* Nena Daconte is no longer a duo. Vocalist Mai Meneses goes solo, although under the same stage name. On November 2010 she published Una mosca en el cristal. In my opinion, not as good as the two earlier albums (btw, the first one has an outstanding artistic level to me), but at least it contains four or five notable songs.

Pregúntame ("Ask to Me") and Una mosca en el cristal ("A Fly at the Window"):

Also (click): Niña azul ("Blue Little Girl") and Por ti ("Because of You").

* Indie band Nudozurdo has just released its third album: Tara Motor Hembra. And I love it. Superb, excellent, splendid, magnificent.... I don't know what adjectives to write in. Absolutely recommended. Even better than previous record Sintética (2008). It shows an unusual sensitivity to me. I find it captivating, emotive and exquisite at the same time. It combines an innovative sound (at least to the Spanish-language music) with introspective and metaphorical lyrics (frustration, love, self-esteem, solitude, torment, sadness, fear and other feelings).

Golden gotelé ("Golden Sprayed-On Paint") and Conocí el amor ("I Knew What Love Is"):

Conocí el amor

♫ "Hay algo sucio............There's something dirty
dentro de ti..................inside of you.
Hay algo oscuro..............There's something obscure
que quiero para mí................and I want it to be mine.

Entré en tu cuerpo...............I went into your body
en una ocasión:.................once:
vi arder mi casa,..............I saw my house in flames,
conocí el amor..............I knew what love is.

(repeated)

No hay nadie humano................There's no one that is a human
a tu alrededor...............around you.
Siempre has querido............You've always wanted
ser el mejor...........to be the best.

(...)" ♫

El diablo fue bueno conmigo ("The Devil was Good to Me") is about love and seduction. Dosis modernas ("Modern Doses") is translated below. The latter is one of the most intensely melancholic songs I've ever heard, in any language. Honestly, I have felt such an impact only a few times before in my life.

Dosis modernas

♫ "Si mi mente destruye ................................ If my mind destroys
todo lo que deseo, ................................ every wish I have,
si en tus labios siempre ................................ if in your lips always
hay algo mucho mejor, ................................ there is something much better,
si detrás de esa puerta están ................................ if behind that door they are
vendiendo oro negro, ................................ selling black gold,
lo quiero comprar ................................ I want to buy it
y sentir que su brillo ................................ and feel that its shine
se incrusta en mi piel. ................................ gets embedded in my skin.

Sube, mi amor, ................................ Come up, my love,
no hay nadie dentro. ................................ there's no one inside.
Sube, mi amor, ................................ Come up, my love,
a mi cerebro. ................................ to my brain.

Y qué quieres que haga ................................ What can I do,
si ya no me divierto, ................................ if I don't enjoy myself anymore,
si todos mis movimientos ................................ if all my moves
dicen que me detesto. ................................ say that I loathe myself.

Y qué quieres que haga ................................ What can I do,
si ya no puedo ................................ if I no longer
sentir lo que siento, ................................ feel what I feel,
si grito con fuerza mi nombre ................................ if I shout my name out loud
y apenas me puedo escuchar. ................................ but I can hardly hear myself.

Sube, mi amor, ................................ Come up, my love,
no hay nadie dentro. ................................ there's no one inside.
Sube, mi amor, ................................ Come up, my love,
a mi cerebro. ................................ to my brain.

Si mi mente destruye ................................ If my mind destroys
todo lo que deseo, ................................ every wish I have,
si en tus labios siempre ................................ if in your lips always
hay algo mucho mejor, ................................ there is something much better,
si detrás de esa puerta están ................................ if behind that door they are
vendiendo oro negro, ................................ selling black gold,
lo quiero probar ................................ I want to try it
y sentir que su brillo ................................ and feel that its shine
se incrusta en mi piel. ................................ gets embedded in my skin." ♫

I promise I will translate more Nudozurdo's lyrics.

For now you can read three of them translated here.
