In the meantime...

hello people,

i hope everything is fine and under control. this week has been a little hell for me for different reasons, but hey... here i am. i feel pretty ill these last two days, a sore throat has gotten hold of me and well, got a lot of work too, which implies a lot of talking, so no... i'm not feeling better. i hope the weekend will embrace me in a hug of relief. anyway... i'm dying to tell you about my trip to mexico BUT i'm waiting for the pictures. the photographer is really irresponssable :P and i hope this weekend i can get my hands on the pics. in the meantime i would like to share some CDs i bought in the land of zapata. always the music lover i am, i just couldn't miss the oportunity to enrich my CD collection.

Depeche Mode - touring the angel (live in milan) - 2DVD+1CD set
Charlotte Gainsbourg - 5:55
Morrissey - the youngest was the most loved (single)
Placebo - placebo (10th anniversary edition) - includes an extra DVD with live and tv performances
Placebo - sleeping with ghosts - extra CD with 10 covers including a beautiful version of kate bush's "running up that hill"
Tones on Tail - everything! (Daniel Ash's post bauhaus project... the compilation includes everything they recorded in their tiny life)
Suede - a new morning (their 2002 final album, which i never bought because it's very pretty and positive, and at the time i was extremely dumb... i really like it now, i'm surprised how closeminded i was years ago... hey, i'll probably say the same thing in 2008 ;)
Suede - singles (this compilation of all their singles never arrived in the stores in venezuela, so now i can say i have their complete catalog. woohoo... shhhhh)
Bauhaus - mask (i wonder why i never bought this marvelous band's second album, but finally i have it in my hands)

plus... we went to the bootleg paradise... rare live DVDs... anything you could ever want... i purchased he following:

The Smiths - live in madrid 1985
Morrissey - live at pinkpop festival 2006
Bauhaus - gotham (1998 reunion performance)
Bauhaus - shadow and light / archive (promo videos and live performance)

and well... i have to admit that the best CD so far is Charlotte Gainsbourg's 5:55. Serge's daughter hooked up with Pulp´s Jarvis Cocker and The Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon to write the lyrics, and the french group Air provided the music... plus... Radiohead's producer Nigel Godrich was behind the board controlling everything. with this allstar crew, what could go wrong? the album is absolutely marvelous, i recommend it with all my heart.

see you soon, happy friday. i'm going to sleep for three days. kisses, i miss you a lot... especially you, crazy young edi (K)x1000.
