This is a very quick post to say that I am working *very* long hours in the studio mixing the Cosmopolitants record...I walk about 25 min. to the studio each day, which affords me different perspectives on Barcelona's beauty (I particularly enjoyed the gardens of the University, which is right by the studio on Gran Via). I've enjoyed a lovely dinner each night (my favorite so far was the restaurant Bilbao, in Gracia, where I enjoyed
callos, a kind of rich tripe stew--the waiter was very enthused that a gringo like me ordered that) and more than my share of cafe cortados.
I got my hair cut and colored at the end of last month. As it turns out, Patrick, who runs the Toni & Guy salon near our flat in Paris, and has been cutting my hair for 4 years now (starting around the time the cover photo for "Soft Commands" was shot), was voted France's coiffeur of the year, by a board of his peers. Felicitations!
Listening to: Flaming Lips "At War with the Mystics"; Lydia Lunch "Smoke in the Shadows"--a collaboration with, among others, Nels Cline--resulting in a noir-fest of decadence, lust and more; King Diamond "A Dangerous Meeting"--a comp. of KD and Mercyful Fate tunes...you gotta love "No Presents For Christmas"...Best. Evil. Laugh. Ever.
Love
KS
Barcelona
