Hola ...hello...olá
I know this blog it is not running well...but i almost don't have time to work on it.


I'm listening those days to a 2007 album Boxer by The National. Just after first time you listen to feel there is "something"...they are not big songs or effective songs...but after a while you feel you need more....












"Boxer is the fourth studio album by Brooklyn-based indie rock band The National. It was released on May 22, 2007 by Beggars Banquet Records. The album features a guest performance by Sufjan Stevens on "Ada" and "Racing Like a Pro" and backing vocals by Marla Hansen. Following its release, it debuted at number 68 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling about 9,500 copies in its first week.The song "Slow Show" contains lyrics from the band's song "29 Years," first found on their self-titled debut album"

Polly Jean abandona a su fiel guitarra. Tras casi dos décadas en activo, la musa del rock (con perdón de Patty Smith a la que, por otro lado, debe la mitad de su carisma) se reinventa y nos muestra su lado más desconocido. Algunos pensarán que es fruto de la edad (¿quizás pesan sus 38 tacos?), otros que la fierecilla de la siempre ha dado buena muestra se ha domesticado, nosotros, simplemente, que se lo ha pedido el cuerpo. White Chalk, que así se llama este octavo trabajo, es su comunión más íntima con sus seguidores. Una colección de canciones, de apenas media hora de duración, donde PJ defiende con uñas y dientes (en este caso voz y piano) ese universo siniestro y desolador que le ha hecho única e imprescindible para la música (a pesar de los referentes).
