UES night
One early morning before the sun was even up, I was walking alone when a very young couple I had just passed shouted something, which I could only assume as “Hey..!!!”
It was raining, I had an umbrella and my headphones on. The couple was probably still in college; they signaled if they could walk with me, and share my small umbrella.
I took my headphones off and held them in my hands.
“iPod?”, the girl asked, pointing at my hand.
“Yeah.”
“What are you listening?”
“Julieta Venegas”
“Who?”
And the conversation went on meaninglessly for about a block, after which we exchanged goodbyes.
I am strangely attracted to the excellent album by Julieta Venegas and I can’t remember how I came across her videos in youtube. I certainly know of no one that I can talk with who shares my latest attachment. While the music isn’t the kick-ass kind that I would buy on the first listen, it has grown on me much quicker than most.
I haven’t been listening to a lot of new music – there’s no radio in the apartment; VH1 and the 2 MTV channels mostly show something with Tara Reid or Ashton Kutcher and something that the producers insist is the new cool.
So… Esthero, Brazilian Girls, Si*Se and Zero 7 are constantly in my playlist, maybe some Buena Vista Social Club, because it somehow reminds me of home, even though it is no where near Cuba.
