If you like gallos (translation = cocks, literally) and hip hop, then you'll be glad to hear that the Red Bull Batalla de los Gallos 2008 is just around the corner. Sign ups (if you have the rhymes and the huevillos) start the 1st of April. National Semifinals will take place from the 10th to the 31 of May in major cities across Spain and in July the Final Nacional will decide, once and for all, which cock is best. By the way, as you'll see from the photo (Dani Gallar, 2007), hens are more than welcome to compete as well.

Listening to Jesse Sykes is like giving a mic to that quiet voice you hear in your heart on a spring day as you lay splayed in the rye. It’s the same voice that whispers a quiet concern that will always be ignored in the face of blinding white passion and rock hard obsession. It’s a voice that knows, that forgives, that flows with the tranquility of its knowing and willing surrender. It’s the soundtrack of a beautiful tragedy rising in crescendo at chaos’ matching peak. Maybe it’s the sound of an inexplicable truth, the one that weaves the binding thread through life’s seemingly random, often times thorny, appendages.

On June 2 we seek amigos, we seek culture, we seek variety (we actually just seek a chill-out place with good music in which to beber, charlar y escuchar). And it turns out many odd, and yet oddly attractive people have an eclectic and interesting music collection. It also turns out that we (with ayuda from Bar Aurora) have an eclectic cheap-beer +
friki-conversation collection. If you wanna sign up to plug in your iPod/mp3 then you can do it by emailing el email abajo. But if you solo vols venir, that’s cool too.

Medianas, mon ami, son 1,50€

NEXT OFFNIGHTS: June 2
Place: Bar Aurora @ Aurora, 7 (Just off Rambla de Raval)
