[kj] xmas presents

[Javier Garcia]

I haven't got no music at all... i bought to myself The Shining and War of The Worlds on DVD... looking forward to get the Joke DVD, but still hasn't arrived these lands. I found the audio CD, but it's more than 30 us dollars.. i think I'll better buy it later from Amazon.

Onthe other hand, I've been listening Bloc Party at the office the last couple of months (thanks i-tunes for the 'shared music' channel!), and i really like them a lot. They have some fresh spirit (even when they are very 80's influenced) but still they don't sound like any band right now. Their mix of styles and rythms is awesome. The shitty thing is that they came to Mexico City about six months ago, and by that time i haven't got any idea of those guys, so i didn't care about going to see them. Now -of course- i regreat... maybe next time.

Cheers!
