For those who ask about the next album…

I haven’t been lazying around the last few months, or at least not entirely

Besides writing songs for Hello Madness, I’ve collaborated with the singer/guitarist Alfonso Aguirre (ex-Zubersiva) writing a song for his new project.

A few weeks ago he came to my studio with some ideas to play around with. We were very surprised that we quickly started to build the whole thing so naturaly. We ended up so satisfied with the demo recording, that we decided to put it online on MySpace and Facebook!

“Awake” is the title of this song and it’s about a friend who has been having serious health problems. I like to think that somehow this music will help her and her family through this rough paths.

Enjoy!

About a week ago I did an interview for the online magazine Monterrey Under.

They came to my studio and we talked about some very interesting things. They will publish the whole thing soon, but here’s an excerpt of it.

Since we were in my studio and the keyboard was right in front of me, it felt very natural to play a couple of songs, so here they are! Enjoy them!

I’d like to introduce you to the person behind every evil move towards world domination with Hello Madness haha

Her name is Lucinda and she has been working with me as my manager for a while now. She’s a very nice person and she has helped me A LOT with this wonderful journey. She’s also a great singer/songwriter, so we’ll probably collaborate together in the future.

Please give her a warm welcome

I’ve been asked many times about the equipment I use for recording, so I decided to share this small video with the world hehe

Enjoy!

Many people have asked me to put the lyrics of the album online. They are in the booklet of the album, but I thought it might be a good idea to put them here. So….

I hope you like them

After people telling me how cool it is to get a twitter account I finally decided to just give it a shot. So now, ladies and gentleman, I present you my own twitter profile! Which I have been updating with both the most stupid and relevant things I have been up to.

At first I was very skeptic about it, and I even thought it was going to a burden. But now I must admit
I’m getting addicted hehe.

So, please click on follow and lets be in touch!

With all the media attention drawn to the swine influenza, I kinda feel in the mood of writing my thoughts about it. It’s really weird to see what this is doing to people’s minds.

I won’t even try to make an analysis of the effects of this flu on the economy, its true origins, or talk about the conspiracy theories that are being sent via email. I just want to say that I find very odd the way people is reacting; everyone wearing masks, empty streets for days, nobody shaking hands… it’s like suddenly I woke up in a completely different world… hello madness!

I must say I really liked the city for a few days. There were no traffic at all (which is something I hate with all my heart), no long lines in stores (except for supermarkets, cause people were preparing for the apocalypse), no schools (I live in front of one, and it gets very crowded in the morning)… so, I enjoyed myself those days.

Of course, there were some things that weren’t cool at all. A few recording sessions and gigs had to be canceled. Bars, restaurants and movie theaters were closed. But I managed to survive hehe

Anyway, my message is: don’t panic. Most probably, you won’t get sick if you follow the basic cleaning habits. And if you do, it won’t get too bad if you get medical assistance on time. Fortunately, I don’t know anyone who got sick and I hope it stays that way. But I think there’s no reason to freak out or change your regular habits.

Just go with the flu…
