Fernando Alfaro has been a key artist in the period of transition between the 80s “movida” and the 90s Spanish indie scene. He created a very personal lyrical universe and a distinctive music style. His lyrics range from the most disturbing and insane to the most delicate, often in the same verse.

p.s. Hey. Today the kindly artist and d.l. Toniok uses his guest-hosting spot to turn us on to the work of Fernando Alfaro, whose music I, at least, did not know until this intervention solved that problem. It's a very interesting discovery, as you will hopefully see and hear over the next 24 hours. Please indulge as heavily as you can, and if you feel like talking back to Toniok, please do. Thanks, and, as always, hugest thanks to the d.l. responsible. ** Scunnard, Hey, man! I'm good, thanks. Wait, wait, you just got here. Oh, I see, you had important off-blog duties there. I hope one of those candles had my conceptual fingerprints on it. Wow, that link led to a treasure trove of related, whetting Xmas melancholia, thanks! ** Martin Bladh, Hi, Martin. Good, I'm glad the answers were okay. You'll be getting an email and more answers from me today. Thanks so much! ** David Ehrenstein, Tad sad, nice, and so apt. A tad apt. ** Kyler, Hi. Yes, the good news should lube things, I would imagine, assuming they have that natural parental pride thing going on in their souls. ** Ken Baumann, KB! Yes, 'peak' rather than 'peek' is the word, man! Fantastico! I know I'm going to love 'Earthbound'. Of that there is not the tiniest question. Yes, a fairly quick Japan return! Should be so great. Tokyo, then back to Naoshima, and then to Yakushima, a volcanic island way out and south that is supposed to be heaven-like and was the inspiration for 'Princess Mononoke', and then some Tokyo again at the end. Aw, thanks a lot about the scrapbook. Yeah, I'm pretty excited about this new novel, but we will see, naturally. I will quote your words to Zac with complete precision, and I'm sure he will be way on board with my idea that we should take you guys up on that offer. Love supreme from me. ** Steevee, Oh, good, finally. How do we/I read it? Oh, the one thing we shared on our music list that I mentioned the other day just got replaced with something new, oops. But it was, for the record, the Boards of Canada album. I don't know about that racist thing. I mean, it seems to be proudly self-referred to as Lapland by the people who live there, at least in my internet experiences. ** _Black_Acrylic, Cool about O'Toole. Leeds is so generative. I had no idea. Goth came from there? The Hugs ... I'll go see if there's any stuff by them online. Shambolic is a warm hello of a quality for me a whole lot of the time. ** MyNeighbour JohnTurtorro, Hi. Glasgow maddened by Xmas? How does that play out? I love the Pharmakon album. It's one of my favorites of the year, as tomorrow's unveiling of my year end list will attest. Oh, I so incredibly want Vår to tour. Their album was my most played of the year. My friend/collaborator Zac and I have a secret wish and hope that we can talk them into writing our 'porn' movie's theme song. Thanks for the link. I'm so, so all over that. Yeah, good morning. ** Misanthrope, Today's my day to see what LPS is up to youtube-wise. I'm excited. I won't call the authorities then. Good that you said that because I definitely would have. I want one of those bars. Make it happen. Say hey to Alan for me. He's so quiet, or, I guess quiet locally. Dang that you just missed St. Nicholas. ** Bill, Hi, Bill. What is this Santacon thing? It's all over social media. I've never heard of it before. Is it new? Who started it, and what is its point? Or does it have none? Drunken guys dressed up as the Big Red Guy trouncing around point blank, or do they have a reason or event or something? I don't get it. ** Chilly Jay Chill, That popcorn zoo thing freaked me out in theory. I don't know why. It seems really weird. Why popcorn in particular for the rescued animals? Popcorn has no nutrition, does it? Oh, man, those Wooster DVDs are very tempting. Hm, wow, hm, yeah, shit, yeah, hm, yeah. I've read some Christine Brooke-Rose. Not sure if I've read a whole book or not. I remember thinking that she was quite, quite interesting. I think Ill go investigate her today, maybe make a post while I'm at it. Cool, thanks for the alert, Jeff. Yury's fashion line is ideally in its final stages and, fingers crossed, he'll present his first clothes in January, but there's a ton for him to get done between now and then, so we'll see. But I think it goes very well, and he's crazy busy with it. Thank you for asking. ** Sypha, Short porn is actually quite a rarity, so that's a very good sign. We're going for concision in our 'porn' film too. 90% of porn is 90% too dragged out, I think. Ha ha, I think our 'porn' will probably spend more time looking at the rooms and locations than the sex too. Weird. ** les mots dans le nom, Hi. Wow, Santa riding the metro bus at appointed times? I'd never heard of that ritual. Interesting. That makes total sense somehow. It seems like it would take a very good fake Santa to not look and seem fake while riding a bus. I almost never get to walk on snow because Paris snow tends to melt about two minutes after it hits the ground. Oh, okay, I just wrote down the name of that Holland book, and I will see if and how I can get it. Thank you a lot for that tip. Cool about the library purchase. That's really nice, and thank you for instigating that, my friend. ** I think that's that. Turn yourselves over to Toniok now if you haven't already. Thank you again. See you tomorrow.
