Elvis has left the building

Elvis dio su último concierto en el Market Square Arena de Indianapolis el 26 de junio del 77.
Murió el 16 de agosto de ese mismo año, el día antes de empezar otro tour.

En la foto, la coche-procesión funeraria.

Deerhoof...

El último está bien, pero el que es sublime es este The Runners Four de 2004. Muy gordo.
Tarde o temprano tenía que hablar de Deerhoof, llevo semanas enganchado a este grupo que demuestra que aún es posible hacer pop (porque eso es lo que hacen) sin tener que pisar terrenos trillados y evidentes. Está bien encontrar aún cosas interesantes y con chicha musical entre tanto moñas, estafador, mediocre y mongoloide. Gracias a Sergi por descubrírmelos y a /slyly por coger este discazo de la biblioteca (pero la próxima vez cógelo dos días antes del concierto y no dos días después, que aún me duele habérmelos dejado perder en directo).
