My iPod is fully loaded with new mixes, my (single! carry-on!) bag is packed, and I am headed to London, Barcelona, and around Italy for the next eleven days.
If you’re in London this Saturday, Barcelona all next week, or Milano next Sunday night, I would love to hear from you. Andiamo!
Always Spring – I’m From Barcelona
N.B. I’m not going by boat. It’s just the song.
Name: Heather Browne
Location: Colorado, originally by way of California

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.

Oh! What a pity! I’ll go back to Barcelona November 13. When are you leaving? I’m from there (currently living in Germany) and I’ve been following your blog for a few years already. It would have been cool to meet you.
Just ask if you need some advice or information.
If you’re there on Monday, don’t miss this: http://www.antikaraoke.com/

Be careful with pickpockets!
You have fun!

A Canadian fan who is quite disappointed to have just read this post now, upon leaving Barcelona. Enjoy the city, it’s beautiful!

Even though you’re not going by boat, i think you’ll still enjoy this:

Have a great trip. I have a list of places you can go in London, but I would definitely check out the British Museum and St. Paul’s Cathedral!
