[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.

5 Architectural Beauties You Can't Miss in Barcelona

Barcelona is the magical and enchanting capital of Catalonia, a city that perfectly mixes its wide culture and architectural landscape. From the iconic work of Antoni Gaudí to the splendorous and stopped-in-time medieval structures, Barcelona knows how to capture the spirit of innovation and artistic expression. Stay around to know which of this city’s attractions you can’t miss if you love architecture (the fourth one is my favorite)

La Sagrada Familia: Gaudí’sMasterpiece

In its own neighborhood, called after it, La Sagrada Familia stands imposingly as a dream to everyone who stares at it, despite whether you’re religious or not. It mixes different styles of architecture, such as Gothic, modernism and Catalan modernism. The project started in 1882 and wasn’t Gaudí's. Francisco de Paula del Villar y Lozano was the architect who promoted the creation of this temple and later quit.

Its forms and colors are simply amazing. It’s all planned for the sun to hit the stained glass at certain hours, giving a colorful projection on the inside walls. It also has many nature references, such as fruits, vegetables, and overall plants, that represent Gaudí’s real understanding and value of God's creation: nature. The church is not finished yet; they expect it to be ready by 2033, but you can visit it every day, and tickets go from 26 euros to 40 euros. I highly recommend going to the towers; I’ve never seen something like that.

Casa Batlló: The House of Bones

This, along with La Sagrada Familia, is probably the most famous art piece Gaudí executed. Constructed in 1877 by Emilio Sala Cortés, it started as a very basic building. Later, in 1904, Josep Batlló i Casanovas, a textile industrialist, assigned Gaudí the total renovation of the place, which showcases his maturity stage in these years. It has seven stories, 11 balconies, and a trippy front that will make your neck hurt from prolonged staring. Its concept relies on, again, nature, but more specifically on marine inspiration and fantastic landscapes. They were radical ideas for the time, making this a very modern creation. It’s located in the center of Barcelona and you can visit it every day. Prices range from 29 euros to 45 euros, and packages include night-time tours, real-life stories and light shows.

Parc Güell: Nature Art Strikes Again

Barcelona remains beautiful, and it seems to get more beautiful with the years, but classics are classics, and this other artwork we’ll review also belongs to Gaudí, surprisingly (not). Located on the Barcelona hills, this public park also integrates architecture with nature. It gives us a fantasy path with serpentine benches, mosaics made from broken ceramic tiles and a great panoramic view of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. Full of vibrant colors and playful forms, it reveals Gaudí’s fascination with organic shapes and his knowledge of architecture fusion with the natural environment. Before 2013, it was fully public and free, but since then, the Monumental Area has had limited access, and prices go from 10 euros to 22 euros. Visiting takes approximately one hour, and you’ll be taken on a tour through the most emblematic points of interest, where you can relive history and connect with the values of modernism, the secrets of Gaudí’s architecture, and the harmony of the park with nature. I wouldn’t miss it.

The Gothic Quarter: Medieval Fantasy

If you’re like me and you’d love to spend at least a day in the Medieval Era, this city is for you.

Right in the heart of Barcelona, you’ll find yourself in the Gothic Quarter, a labyrinth of diagonals, narrow streets and squares that effortlessly transport you to a bygone era that will make you feel like time has stopped. The Barcelona Cathedral, the King’s Square (or Placa del Rei), the Bishop’s Bridge, or the Call Jueu will be your friends and companions in this medieval fantasy you’ll be living in. It made me think about how kings and queens lived in the XV century, what kind of extravagant parties they hosted and the opulent garments they would choose to adorn. They all greatly represent Catalan architecture, with a perfect dash of European history. You don’t need to pay anything to walk on these streets—just the price of melancholia and goosebumps.

Palau de la Música Catalana: A Symphony in Stone

This great grand concert hall somehow reminds me of La Sagrada Familia. The stained glasses and enormous size make you feel so little but powerful. It was built by modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner and it means “Music Palace”. It was finished in 1908, and today it can host up to 2049 people almost every day. It is as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside, but it’s not just aesthetically superior, it also gives us a perfect sound, thanks to its structure, conceived as a music box. It suffered a catastrophe 20 years ago when it went to ashes after a fire in 1994. Everyone in the city helped move what they could, and in 1999, after record time, it was rebuilt and reopened to the public. You can visit it with a tour guide if you want to know more details. Visits last 55 minutes and cost 20 euros, but I would also recommend booking a night to go and listen to some music; the experience is way beyond your imagination.

Immerse Yourself: Barcelona's Architectural Poetry Unfolded

Barcelona is, indeed, your next stop. Nothing like any other traditional landmark, its architectural richness is a gift to anyone visiting. It’s a living testament to the city’s commitment to artistic expression, innovation and cultural identity.

From the timeless works of Antoni Gaudí to the medieval charm of the Gothic Quarter and the modernist marvels that dot the cityscape, Barcelona invites you to embark on a journey through centuries of architectural evolution and revolution.

Its magic unfolds, preserving its cultural heritage while embracing the avant-garde of past, present and future. Each structure tells a story, taking you to different worlds: history, art, and imagination; creating a symphony of architectural beauty that defines this Mediterranean gem.

It’s a reinvention, a timeless haven for architectural enthusiasts and curious travelers. It’s a visual poem that you will not want to stop reading.

hi! going to barcelona in late february for a couple weeks and wanted to know if you have any recs for the area!

sorry this is so long i can’t shut up 😭😭

okay right off the bat, since you have a couple of weeks, put aside several of those days for costa brava, sitges, montserrat, and girona. i know the appeal is mostly in the summer for the beaches, but costa brava has some really nice hiking paths too if the weather is fine.

in barcelona proper, i recommend the entire gaudi circuit - la sagrada familia, park güell, casa batllo, casa mila, casa vicens. i’d prob set half a day for park güell just in case you wanna climb all the way.

for museums, i love the museu nacional d'art de catalunya up on montjuic and the way i would maybe do it is take the cable car up to montjuic, maybe pop into the castle, and then walk down towards the museum. then spend a few hours there and get out right in time for sunset. the olympic museum is really nice too on montjuic. also related to the olympics is olympic village. it’s just really vibey there and literally the one and only time in my life that i wanted to join a RUN CLUB ffs. oh and the picasso museum is really nice.

i LOVE gracia generally and i’d prob explore it around the time you’re going to park güell. i stayed in eixample and i really recommend it. the area around passeig de gracia is super bougie but on one of the side corners, there’s a really cute bookstore (genuinely cannot remember the name but you’ll know it when you see it) and also the best indian food i’ve ever had in my life (slight exaggeration).

the gothic quarter + barcelona cathedral are both very nice. you can honestly just loop from bishop’s bridge to ciutudella park to the arc to the cathedral. palau de la musica catalana is STUNNING but you either need to book a show or get into it in time for one of the tours.

a rooftop with a really good view of the sagrada familia is sercotel rosellon rooftop but tbh getting a reservation is a hassle, the drinks aren’t that great, and there’s a huge cancellation fee if you’re late so i don’t recommend unless you really want pictures.

for bars, paradiso and sips are the big two and i do think both are great. with paradiso, try and get that code early but if you don’t, mid day is prob the best time to go. you’re gonna need a reservation at sips and there’s a huge cancellation fee. the regular line never moved. however, my actual faves are monk and bobby’s free. monk is a speakeasy inside a grocery store and it’s got two rooms and both have different drinks and vibes. bobby’s free is a speakeasy inside a barber shop. the guy is gonna ask for a volunteer and he’s gonna threaten to cut your hair unless you answer a question. the popcorn drink is super fun. if you’re not scared of absinthe/el raval generally, go to bar marsella!! hemingway, picasso, and other famous artists went there and it’s such a cool piece of history that it’s worth it (i’d generally be a little bit more aware of your surroundings in that area tho)

clubs are lit if you get there around 3 am. if you get there earlier, be prepared to get hit on by 19 year old scandi boys. opium is fun but razzmatazz has the five floors. city hall is a club with techno stuff that was really fun too. if you’re up on montjuic late, la terrazza is inside a castle and it’s a cool venue. i really don’t know if club culture is different between summer and winter though.

personally i’d skip las ramblas unless you’re particularly keen on getting pickpocketed. same with la boqueria market. also you can pop into montjuic stadium without a ticket or a tour but im pretty sure it won’t be used for barcelona matches by february so idk what it’ll look like vs when i saw it, but i guess on the other side (if you want to) camp nou would be open by then.

have the best time!!! literally everyone in barcelona is so hot i was gonna lose my mind

Volviendo con GHOST (a los que vi como teloneros de la gira del cd HARDWIRED TO SELFDESTRUCT=Programado para Autodestruir..en el Estadio de MONTJUIC O LUIS COMPANYS [presidente de CATALUNYA encerrado y ejecutado por FRANCO en MONTJUIC] autores del cd INFESTISSUMAM=la AMENAZA MAS GRANDE en referencia al ANTICRISTO..y cuando iba a verlos fotografie a un tipo con camiseta BELOVED ANTI_CHRIST del grupo THERION en la plaza de ESPAÑA [BARCELONA] ..que presenta su nuevo cantante PAPA V PERPET..dice su fundador que a lo mejor se acaban pronto su HISTORIA y vienen el 30 de ABRIL a MADRID (como me he enterado junto a ACANTALIDOS IMPACTANTES)]

Por cierto..AITANA que acaba de anunciar un concierto en este ESTADIO LUIS COMPANYS..achaca sus problemas a que todo lo que tiene o hace alrededor de la Musica (como digo sale hasta en la SOPA=nombre de su PERRO)..no la dejaba centrarse en hacer un BUEN PUTO DISCO ..sinceramente creo que TODO ME PARECE "PUTO" en este mundo y no PURO desde el PECADO ORIGINAL hasta el PECADO FINAL

P.D. de las cosas más extrañas que recuerdo fue encontrarme el DVD (pirata) SOME KIND OF MONSTER sobre la grabación del cd ST ANGER [SANTA IRA] de METALLICA bajo una PILA DE CRISTALES (como de una ventana de un coche y que depositaron junto a un muro de contencion) al día siguiente de ver al grupo FIN_ES "APOCALYPTICA" presentar su 2do cd de Versiones de METALLICA (18_11_24) a ORILLAS DEL MANZANA+eRES o sala LA RIVIERA

[uniquetyphoonmiracle]

Por cierto..antes de AYER cuando hablé de que DEPECHE MODE estreno SACRED en MADRID al empezar aquí su gira MUSICA PARA LAS MASAS y donde luego grabaría cd SONGS OF FAITH and DEVOTION..se me olvidó comentar que publicaron TO HAVE and TO HOLD [votos matrimoniales] del cd MUSICA PARA LAS MASAS en una edición especial llamada SPANISH TASTER que fue deshechada para la versión del disco MUSICA PARA LAS MASAS pero incluida como cara B del single NEVER LET ME DOWN AGAIN [nunca me decepciones de nuevo]..en la versión del disco metieron una locución casi ininteligible en Ruso que viene a decir “Los informes examinan la evolución de los arsenales nucleares y los problemas sociopsicológicos de la carrera armamentista”

"La ambientación atmosférica de esta segunda mezcla es más propia de una película de terror, más alternativa y posiblemente hubiese sido mejor emplearla como lado B, pero después de todo en Europa la publicación de sencillos es una parte importantísima para la promoción de un álbum, así que la inclusión de la versión original es todo un plus en Never Let Me Down Again que estrenaron en TV en el programa de ANGEL CASAS desde BARCELONA [TV3 CATALUNYA] el cual El 20 de septiembre de 2020 anunció en un extenso texto publicado en Facebook titulado "Medical Mistery Tour" su retirada de la vida pública y el cierre de su blog y de su perfil en Facebook, por motivos de salud. Tras un trasplante de riñón y varios meses en el hospital con gran dolor por una enfermedad denominada calciofilaxis, en junio de 2022 le amputaron la pierna derecha. Su situación se agravó hasta que falleció el 1 de octubre en la misma ciudad en la que había nacido 76 años antes

Dj Tubet citato nel libro: UNICO GRANDE AMORE. UN VIAJE POR ITALIA A TRAVÉS DEL FÚTBOL

Onoratissimo di essere citato in questo nuovo libro, appena uscito in Spagna, che racconta l'Italia attraverso il suo calcio.

Un libro che invita il lettore a salire su un treno per visitare 50 città in un paese che emoziona e innamora attraverso la sua gente e la sua cultura. L'Italia è unica per la sua storia, per la sua lingua, per la sua musica, per la sua gastronomia, per la sua politica, per il suo cinema, per la sua pittura, per i suoi paesaggi. E sì, l'Italia è unica anche per il suo calcio.

L'autore Toni Padilla Montoliu mi menziona nel capitolo dedicato all' Udinese Calcio 1896  "dove spesso negli ultimi anni suona la musica di Dj Tubet, che canta hiphop in friulano. A Pasolini sarebbe piaciuto."

Padilla (1977, Sabadell) è uno storico, lavora a Diari ARA, è un membro fondatore di Panenka e collabora regolarmente con RAC1, Gol Play, Televisió de Catalunya o il canale internazionale La Liga, oltre ad insegnare ai futuri giornalisti sportivi presso la Blanquerna-Universitat Ramon Llull.

Questo è il quinto libro che pubblica, dopo: Brasil 50. Retratos del Mundial del Maracanazo (Contra, 2014), Atlas de una pasión esférica (Planeta, 2017), Atlas de los sueños olímpicos (Planeta, 2020), El historiador en el estadio (Principal de los Libros, 2021).

Fue un domingo excepcional. El domingo pasado, en el escenario del Palau de la Música Catalana, disfruté de un concierto memorable en la voz del compatriota Ricardo Montaner, cuyas canciones, inevitablemente me trasladaron, a aquellos maravillosos años 80, donde cassette en mano o moviendo el dial de la radio tarareaba sus interpretaciones, esas mismas que cada noche se escuchaban al inicio de las telenovelas del momento, dejándonos tan enamorados, o sintiéndonos en la cima del cielo. ... It was an exceptional Sunday. Last Sunday, on the stage of the Palau de la Música Catalana, I enjoyed a memorable concert in the voice of compatriot Ricardo Montaner, whose songs inevitably took me back to those wonderful 80s, where a cassette in hand or moving the dial of the Radio hummed their interpretations, the same ones that were heard every night at the beginning of the soap operas of the moment, leaving us so in love, or feeling at the top of the sky. ... #ricardomontaner #concierto #concert #musica #music #palau #PalaciodelaMúsicaCatalana #PalaudelaMúsicaCatalana #arte #art #artes #arts #igbarcelona #igersbarcelona #instabarcelona #bcn #ciudadcondal #barcelona #catalunya #cataluña #españa #spain (en Palau de la Música Catalana) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClwirZxLSTY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
