What? You haven't got this album yet? What are you waiting for?
Thankfully, something different to Las Ketchup and the OT guys has come out of Spain, at last.
This is the very first album of La CasaAzul, a band of 5 androids that never show up at their concerts. Guille Milkyway made us all believe that the characters were real, giving them names, real voices and pictures of them, but he is the true genius behind the poppy, bubbly lyrics, that make you want to sing and dance away with a smile.

Advantages: One of the best examples of Catalan Modernism Disadvantages: Very expensive
My husband has a job, which more often than not requires him to work on Christmas day and through most of the Christmas period. Whilst this is the perfect reason to turn down all invitations to spend Christmas with family, it's not the greatest way to celebrate the big day with a 14 hour shift. So last Christmas I decided that we'd have our very own Christmas but just a few days before the rest of the world. And so I booked a long weekend in Barcelona.
Our hotel - The Gallery (review already posted many moons ago) was just off the Passeig de Gracia, one of Barcelona's key boulevards where you can find my favourite of the buildings designed by Antonio Gaudi - the almost impossible to pronounce, Casa Batllo. Earlier in the year I had attended a big industry conference in Barcelona and we'd had the conference 'gala' dinner in the Casa ...
