{mosimage} Foreigner gave an excellent show, although I thought that they could have chosen a better repertoire, taking into account that it was their first visit to Estonia. In any case, every time I go to a rock concert and wander around the first rows, the idea of catching a guitar pick crosses my mind. […]

The cigarette of Anna Abreu
The evening was promising at the beginning. Lots of free drinks and food and a warm reception at the pub close to the venue. But organization turned into a chaos due to the tight schedule and I was really afraid that I would leave the place without my desired interview. We were move in a […]
Tell me why I DO like Mondays
Time ago, when I was working or studying, Monday was (like i suppose for most of the people in the same situation) the most hated day of the week. Saturday was great and relaxed; on Sunday I started to feel a particular stomach ache while assimilating the connection again with the harsh reality and to […]
Finland capital of Norway
Good and bad promotion
I was having a cup of coffee this afternoon with Andres, one of the members of Bullfrog Brown, the most internationally recognized Estonian blues band. Andres belongs to that selected and admiring group of people with a very good background and journalistic and musical knowledge, but difficulties to find a good job that really could […]
In any case, watching the Princess Bride took me into the old habit of making a top ten about some aspect of cinema (something we did during the printed edition of FREE! Magazine), so this time I wanted to write my top ten of princesses in movies. If you think of other names to […]
That forgotten album
When writing for FREE! I often suffer of nostalgic moments looking back to my younger years when living in a suburb near Madrid. And I remember, in 1996, to have listened dozens of times the original cassette that I bought from the Germans Scorpions: Animal Instinct. Scorpions, as many other rock/heavy bands with great success […]
From rainy Tartu with love!
I assisted to Tuska festival in Helsinki at the beginning of June; the streets of the capital were literally taken by an army of metal fans dressed in black. There I had the chance to talk for almost one hour in the backstage with Fernando Ribeiro, the singer of Moonspell (interview will appear in our […]
Summer of music
{mosimage} I look back in time and remember my summer times in Spain. Temperatures of 40 degrees, ventilators trying to suffocate the baking hot, the excursions to the beach (not to the beach in Madrid…obviously…so I mean really long excursions driving many hours…), the ice creams melting 10 seconds after you bought them… Now here […]
Discovering Bukowski
And after it, I just can say that I love it. I love his raw style. I love how he expresses so frankly his disconformities with the world where he lived. I think that his texts are overall honest, and this is an adjective that you do not find easily in our contemporary times lately. […]
I still have the feeling that many people don´t know about the existance of FREE! Well, for those who are missing the fun, now it is about to know about us. And with the new cover in our 3rd issue, I am sure that loving it or hating it, it is going to create some […]
For those readers who expect that I have changed my mind and become a serious keeper of a blog in Internet…well…maybe they expect too much… By the way, are there readers there??? Eh come on guys, most of the articles in the website have not received a comment at all, and the same applies to […]
And they say students hate them
The guy was sharp on the phone and not very eager to do much, even when I gave him freedom of speech (as we always do, having a magazine called FREE!… 2+2…). He gave me some excuses saying that he has to be tomorrow in Estonia, and that he could not be reached by phone, […]
Between guerrilla and rock stars
I was introduced to Edén Pastora a couple of days ago during the party held by the Finnish Film Foundation, where they had an overview of the Finnish films that will be released in the present year. Being honest, I had no idea that Edén Pastora himself was coming to Helsinki to assist to the […]
