Today, on July 25th, 1992, Spain

Opening ceremony of the Barcelona Olympics, held that took place July 25–August 9, 1992

Freddie Mercury supposed to perform with Montserrat Caballé

The song was composed by Mercury and includes violins by Homi Kanga and Laurie Lewis, cello by Deborah Ann Johnston, horn by Barry Castle and percussion by Frank Ricotti. It was performed live at the opening by Montserrat, with Freddie's voice recordings and it was used as the title music to the BBC's coverage of the 1992 Summer Olympics.

The music video was filmed at the world's largest nightclub, Privilege in Ibiza.

[Album of the day] Brux - Fills de La Nit

Barcelona, ESP || 2023 || LA VIDA ES UN MUS DISCOS

[Genres] post-punk, punk'n'roll

[FFO] Oi!

[Thoughts] The genre tags on this short little EP don't sound like something I'd typically enjoy, but I find that averaging out those styles gives Fills de La Nit a garage-punk sound: not super rhythmically complex, but aesthetically appealing.

This came out today (2024.03.29) on London-based label LA VIDA ES UN MUS DISCOS, but given that the band is from Barcelona I'm going to assume the title is Catalan for "Children of the night."

[From the band/label]

BRUX are back with four tracks of their trademark sound. Four flanged out hard hitting anthems, mixing the sharpest possible post punk with the roughest street rock’n’roll vocals. They keep their boots firmly pressed between two styles which seem polar opposites, resulting in new sounds made up of old formulas. Too angular for boot boys yet too crude for trendy post punkers. Blending both BLITZ eras with Death rock and current punk wave, and resulting on a fully formed band not afraid of displaying all their influences at once.

"Las Vegas is going to be a good one. All our indications are that it is going to be a low downforce circuit, and as such, we are confident that we can be competitive there, but [we still have] a tricky car.

Let's not beat around the bush: it comes in and out of the window quite quickly, and the struggle for us has been to understand why that is.

I think we understand that most of it might be in the DNA of the car, so for next year, we are focusing on making it a much more benign car, one that doesn't have such a narrow operating window.

In a race, you can't operate in a narrow window because the race is long, temperatures change, the tyres, and you need a bit of a broader operating window to have a really good race. That is where Red Bull's strength is - their operating window is very wide."

Music recs? Music recs.

These are a sampling of albums I’ve come across in recent years that I’ve spent far too much time listening to. To limit myself, I’m not including soundtracks or other things that are part of pop culture. This is strictly for music from artists I’d never heard of before stumbling across these albums and deciding to keep them because of the music's own merits.

In order of most recently discovered to longest kept:

El Club del BGI 3 by Marcel Casellas i La Principal de la Nit

Catalan dance club music that is very catchy and also makes me feel like I’m actually in a club listening to this being performed live (side note: I have never been inside a club so do not take this assessment as gospel).

Honeysuckle Weeks by The Submarines

I don't usually gravitate to love songs, but this American indie rock duo are so earnest about their love and they express it in a musically interesting way I really vibe with.

Mambo! by Yma Sumac

Yma Sumac had incredible range and was an absolute force to be reckoned with and I wish I'd heard of this Peruvian icon sooner.

Tiger Run by Sally Nyolo

This Cameroonian-born singer incorporates a bunch of international influences into an album that I don't know how to properly categorize, but I just have so much fun listening to her.

TSLC by The Silver Lake Chorus

Californian choir that mostly sings about life being kinda a mess while sounding amazing. (the final song on this album can be pretty depressing, though, so keep that in mind if you listen to the other songs on this album)

Musiche per Spiritus-Aqua-Vita by Progetto Arcana

The least Easter-sounding Easter music you’ve ever heard.

Sugungga by Leenalchi

This South Korean alternative rock group keeps throwing down banger after banger.

Kawaipunahele by Keali’i Reichel

Hawaiian music (with some covers of pop songs) that feels like getting a warm hug from someone who loves you.

Mayumi Kato Piano Works by Paul Barton

Japanese composer Mayumi Kato wrote these evocative and lovely pieces for the piano, which are performed by her friend Paul Barton. I think these CDs might be out of stock at the moment, but the music is all on YouTube (and they usually have the sheet music downloadable for free for all you pianists out there).

Ascendit Deus by Choir of Clare College, Cambridge, the Dmitri Ensemble, Graham Ross

Choir and organ performing religious-ish music that is truly epic and will probably intimidate all the peasants.

There's been some images and sounds that will haunt me for the rest of my life since the beginning of the genocide. This is a new one. One where we can literally see people burning alive and hear their screams as they're dying. I'm absolutely devastated. I'm so shamefull of being French right now because I know. I know that my government is still going to do nothing even though I identified them and ask them to finally do something that is positively impactful for the Palestinians lives. But they're still going to do absolutely nothing apart from saying "we ask of a cease-fire please" with no concrete action.

There have been many points of no return since the start of the genocide, but if this one doesn't change anything, then I think humanity is completely lost. I don't ever want westerns countries to make lessons on human rights in the future because that would be the biggest middle finger to Palestinians people, and Arabs, Muslims and Africans people in general too.

Even if what I say and do doesn't change anything, if I ever have children one day, I want to be able to face them and say to them that I tried. I tried to change the course of the future, tried to not make the same mistakes that we did in the past.

When we said "Never again", it was supposed to be "Never again to everyone", but I guess not with what's currently happening in Gaza, West Bank and Libanon.
