seeing him moan abt the taxi strike on twitter I come to the sad realisation not even heterodox flamenco is left unsullied by politics, there is no escape in 2018. it's a great album but, at least through google translate, he's a pompous bore

he's such a turd.
following him on twitter provides an interesting window into the workings of contemporary spanish complacent chauvinism.
his stuff on cultural appropriation was eyebrow raising but now i see him revelling in his provocations and defending ppls rights to make jokes about gypsies, a fuller and uglier picture has emerged. being full of shit is obv useful for an artist and I like this album of centrist flamenco

this is nothing compared to me still liking 'the voice of steel' by nokturnal mortum, last seen headlining a nazi festival
sometimes turds have tunes. hell, musical vision

we only found out he was an asshole (of a common/garden variety) because we liked the music enough to find out
it really is a brilliant work

appropriation and all

idk if I'll have the patience for the whole album but Europa off his latest one is sounding incredible, a sort of Spanish answer to Wire's The First Letter (the song) or something
