From the worst to the great!
See more funny videos at CollegeHumor
Now that you've seen what comes up if you google "the worst music video ever", I'd like to share with you an absolutely amazing musical experience I had last Thursday, once again, at La Bilbaina. This time, I saw an Italian group: "Alphabeats Nu Jazz". Super awesome! They did relatively tame, only slightly experimental set as far as the instrumentalists went... but they coupled it with a rapper! And the outcome was fantastic!
I had a chat with the rapper during the break and I highly recommend you visit his myspace site
Apart from that, I've had a marvellous weekend with Mikko here - we went to Aranda de Duero to visit Narot (my Finnish student) on Friday, and his parents took us on a tour of the town, including the 5 kms of middle-age wine cellars to be found underneath the town! That was incredible! And they were even nice enough to take us out for lunch and invite us back another time to their house! The whole day was sunny, once we got out of Bilbao - but on the way back, we saw dark clouds on the horizon. "Follow those and surely we'll be getting into Basque country!" Surely enough, 5 kilometres after the "Ongi Etorri" sign, fat raindrops started falling on the car...
Another highlight of this week: Africa (Fernando's dog) opened her mouth and let out a bleat... yes: "BAAAAAAA" out of the blue. We haven't been able to get her to repeat the sound again, despite multiple attempts at convincing her that she really IS a sheep. She doesn't buy it. I don't think she realises the chaos her moment of mistaken identity has caused in Bilbao.
Or perhaps we were just high, since we'd been gluing the frame onto our present to Jimena... who knows?
