Viggo & The Fan

El jueves pasado, un amigo mío vino a verme actuar en Joy Eslava y, el día después, contó que Viggo Mortensen le había amargado la noche. Le dejo contar la historia por su cuenta:

“Estaba con una amiga en Banco de España, cerca de Gran Vía, cuando vi pasar a alguien que se parecía a Viggo [...]

Una semana intensa

Ha sido una semana intensa. Tres shows en tres noches, en dos ciudades (sé que eso no es nada comparado con las giras que hacen los rock bands, pero qué quieres que te diga? Soy una blanda. Y me duelen los pies), y no he tenido la cabeza en su sitio para escribir aquí, sorry.

El [...]

Teaser: Eugenio Mira on YANQUIDEMIERDA

I’ve created a YouTube channel for my YANQUIDEMIERDA videocasts. I’ve just recorded the first interview, with filmmaker Eugenio Mira, and I can assure you that I’ve made many mistakes. But it was a fun and fascinating conversation. A big “Thank You” to Eugenio for helping me kick off this new project!

My new podcast/video show, YANQUIDEMIERDA

Everyone’s got a podcast these days and I’m the latest schmuck on board. I don’t know how to do it, but I’ve already gone ahead and done it, which is really the best way to do things, doncha think? So now I’ve got my first episode in the can: an interview with one of Spain’s [...]

Someone Must've Heard Me

Am I being stalked by advertising campaigns? Two days after complaining about misogynistic ads, there’s a new one that appears to be trying to right wrongs.

Though I abhor violence, there is something sexy about violent women, at least the way Hollywood delivers it. I have to admit, I find the fantasy of having absolute power [...]

Django Caption Contest!

No sé mucho de Django, pero este cartel me ha dejado impactada. Como podemos ver, su gira actual se llama “Puñaladas en el alma”, pero la extraña foto me ha provocado pensar en varios nombres alternativos. Por ejemplo, “Puñaladas en la cara.” O, “Tour I Drink the Blood of Newborn Babies”. O “Tour When I Look [...]

Sinead, Today

A reader sent me this picture of Sinead and asked for my opinion of her new look.

My honest opinion? She looks just me when I was in college, except with better hair and fashion sense.

I was a real mess. It would’ve done me some good to look more like Elton John. At least he was [...]

Mr. Tacos Listens to Raphael

A new way to experience the legendary “Balada de la Trompeta”.

I honestly don’t know what Cesar’s problem is with Raphael. If he’s good enough for Mr. Tacos, he’s good enough for anybody!

The Unluckiest Girl in the World

She was a cypher, already difficult to know when she became humongous in 2006. As the years went by, what we saw became more and more tacky: wandering half-naked down the London streets, strung-out and incoherent, her bad implants popping out of her skimpy dresses. The continued public bad behavior; the YouTube video of her [...]

Gaga Gets the Last Laugh

Howard Stern gave her a beating last month on his radio show. He ripped her apart about her seeming narcissim, her bloated HBO concert, her verbal diarrhea while performing and her silly fans. Hilariously so; after all, he is Howard Stern. And he did make some good points. “God, bands used to be so cool. [...]
