You Are Such a Big Bjork

So after seeing 2007's best film (rob zombie's reinterpretation of Halloween), Antoine and I headed over to Bjork/Klaxon's after party at Rebel. We met with Baby C, Sparber, my roomie Cat and the Nylon mag gang in the vip to drink free absolut (shittay... have you tried svedka?)



Surprisingly, Bjork made a cameo. Girl, why can't you be more american?

Spanglish: Discovering Andalucia

I love Spain more than prescription pain killers. Especially Andalucia (the southern region), which locals will be quick to say is still very Spanish while the northern region (barcelona, madrid, etc) has adapted to a European lifestyle. After all, this is the heartland from where most iconic Spanish rituals originated: bullfighting, flamenco dancing, tapas, olive oil, hot guys.

What also makes Andalucia unique is that it has strong Islamic roots, as the Moors reign went on for centuries in the former half of the millenium. Here is modern Seville, which retains that historical value that makes it so compelling.

columbus libary. this shit was FASCINATING... this was a private wing that I was fortunate enough to enter (it's not open to public, only researchers). All the records of the new world voyage are kept here, including some of C. Columbus' original documents (like passenger lists, maps, etc). Seville is where he docked after discovering America.

really wasn't my thing.

Spanglish: Discovering Andalucia part 2

Cordoba is a bite-size version of Seville, home of olive oil production and a large historic center that almost rivals the former capitals. I had the privilege of checking out the sites, a flamenco show and the olive oil estate of Nunez de Prado (sold at Whole Foods, yall).

Spanglish: Discovering Andalucia part 3

The intricate history of Andalucia has left the greatest mark on Granada: it's here where the last of the Muslim kingdom reigned in the fifteenth century, so much of the influence is still prominent in the culture, architecture, cuisine and even character of Spaniards. Interacting with locals or simply people watching, you'll find the denizens more reserved. In fact, gypsies still inhabit the hills, living in gutted-out caves that lack electricity and running water. Crazy! But the fact that Granada is the most cosmopolitan of all three cities is what makes it unique. The city keeps growing. Founded just at the foot of of the Sierra Nevada range, the infrastructure has expanded in a curve around the hills, so it continues to get more modern. Ain't you heard the old adage : "If you haven't seen Granada, you haven't seen anything"? Sure, this may have been announced before the time of trendy Gran Via's bustle, but the nod is saluted primarily to the Alhambra.. yeow!
