Winter is here ("Detén the winter"!!!!)

(Mi ventana indiscreta, mirando lo que llamamos "Little Paris" que, claro, comparado con "the real Paris" es como una maqueta de bajo presupuesto. A vuestra izquierda, la Brooklyn Library, al centro, la entrada a Prospect Park, a la derecha, el chanta arco de triunfo de la Gran Army Plaza. Viva Brooklyn y su hijo de oro: Walt Whitman!! : filo con Woody Allen, ademas, el se fue a vivir a Manhattan apenas gano un poco de plata.)

Ya cabros, llego el invierno. Que suerte que voy a Chile por 4 semanitas. Despues de 4 "blancas Navidades" seguidas, que rico se va a sentir una con calorcito y ropa liviana...

La nieve me da lo mismo, pero apalear nieve es diferente...todo por el dinero y por seguir adelante.

Ayer hice una breve nota para NY1 Latino, y el estudio estaba igual de frio que la calle, casi hacemos la entrevista con parka y bufanda...

Nota freak: Un amigo gringo tradujo el comentario de emol.com en Google Translations y el resultado es para la risa. No creo que mi amigo entendio mucho realmente. Algunas Claves: Otter=Nutria, Navy=armada con, Teacher=Maestro, VíctorRockrose=Victor Jara, low=bajo, "My popcorn"=Mi palomita. Plop.

Roquerío

Otter

Between the good Chilean effects of the encounter "in the outside",celebrated the last week in the new Library of Santiago, it is this disc recorded in New York and brought by the santiaguino musicianChristian Towers, in ahead Otter, established from 2001 in that city.It is also the concert that it gave next to two brothers with recentflight hours in the Law, Archi and Pedro Frugone, and to two drummers initiated in the ' 80, Francisco Koch and Sebastián Levine.

That late Otter was the minor of all of them. Roquerío is its firstdisc. And although it has the experience of to have been part ofTeacher, the anticonventional trio of music that formed in the ' 90 in Chile with its brother Claudius Torres and Jose Luis JoeVillablanca, is a newcomer one because here it writes conventionalsongs for the first time, and the best thing is than it does with somany aptitudes as if it came practicing per years. Otter touches laconic rock with noisy guitars, something of pop of enough dream andfolk acoustic, and interlaces everything in a song book that usually pretty melodía and an acoustic guitar on sedative effects of electrical guitar.

Otter sings in English and Castilian in a called song "you seeyourself under shy", but the Chilean leaves in the references to\r\nrains and storms to him the south, in the tonada one that touches in"Detén the winter", in titles like "My popcorn" or in the way inwhich eses eats when it sings. And you deliberately mentions of "Run\r\nto", of Bryan Adams, in the rockera "Maratón", but subtler it is thanit mentions without wanting to the big drum of "Pepper", VíctorRockrose, in the titled good "the mark of the beauty", another one of\r\nacoustic summits of this song book. "I never could cantarte morepopular song/just I I shut up myself and thus it was my worse errorin the capital", she confesses in "pretty Skin", and if that one is\r\nan error, in Roquerío she is very well amended.
