SOTW2924 nothing,nowhere. "nevermore (one take)"

This past week was an oddity in my life. I had to go to El Paso every day and way too early for my liking. There's something about being stuck in line with a whole bunch of other cars waiting for your turn to cross the border that,

I miss the old internet

Plug in the cable, get the weird interference noise and start browsing. The world was ours back then.

Elections in Mexico suck

If there's one thing I can tell you with certainty is that I am not interested in politics, at all.

SOTW1824 Gracie Abrams "Risk"

There's one interesting thing that comes with growing up and that's a weird sense of confidence. Once you realize it, things start to look quite different because even though you may not be sure of what's to come somehow it doesn't feel so threatening as when you were younger.

SOTW1424 From Indian Lakes "Runner"

From Indian Lakes used to play hardcore music, then Joey Vannucchi decided to make an album that sounded like you breathe out of the water or fall asleep for the first time.

SOTW1224 José Madero "Hablemos del Campo"

This week the song of the week is in Spanish and you'll have to deal with it. Yeah, yeah, I know. This blog is mostly written in English and that's by design —it's originally meant to help me improve my writing, thinking and orthography—

(No) Hybrid Work Talk with Oscar

For the last few months I've been working remotely / hybrid. Basically, not going to the office every day. Mostly because my team didn't have any official sitting place. That changed last week. Do I have thoughts on this whole "return to office" movement? You

SOTW0924 Flyleaf "All Around Me"

Sometimes it goes, sometimes it comes back. It's unstoppable, undeniable and relentless. I'm talking about the urge to go back to emo mode.

(No) Coffee time with Oscar

I don't consider myself a coffee addict. Is that what every coffee addict says? Anyways, I've been without coffee for the last two weeks. How's it going? Let me tell you. It fucking sucks I'd like to think that it's

SOTW0824 Makari "Closer"

It's been great these last weeks. Why? 'Cause the songs that have left an impression the last three or four weeks have come to me, instead of me having to look for them. Imagine that? You'd be stuck with lousy emo songs from the 2000&

Lumiere and Sora are giving AI video super powers

While I've talked about AI in general and also focused a little bit on how it's being used to make music, the topic today is certainly one I thought we would have to wait more to see. Quite literally, to see. Google Research's Lumiere

SOTW0724 San Fermin "Wasting on Me"

Ever since I saw them perform in Audiotree Live back in 2013, I've been hooked to San Fermin. They're my favorite band since then and I feel a really strong connection to them and what they write, both lyrically and musically. I've written about

SOTW0624 Eidola "No Weapon Formed Shall Prosper"

Since we're in the process of knowing each other, let me tell you this straight up: I really, really, really like hardcore music. This week one of the bands I follow in the genre released new music and, of course, it has become the song of the week.

Hey guys! I just wanted to have a quick post about the Super Bowl LVIII. It's not like I follow sports – you may have noticed from the lack of following in the posts – but even I know the Super Bowl is much more than sports. For me, it&

SOTW0524 Too Close To Touch "Control"

In 2022, I rediscovered Too Close To Touch, a band I loved but unfortunately forgot about, only to find news about the lead singer, Keaton Pierce, passing away a few months prior to my rediscovery. I haven't stopped listening to them since then. Well, on January 31st guitarist
