The best detective series and a kiosk to buy records: what you can't miss this week
What you may have missed and what you definitely can't miss: the cultural and leisure activities of 'Ara Domingo'
The week that begins, with Jordi Garrigós
Some of the things we hope not to miss in the next seven days
I will dance the new pill from Pau Roca, one of the best representatives of the school house from Barcelona. Hyperactive and with excellent taste, he has just presented Your Energy, accompanied by the voice of Laura Elle and which deepens one of the trademarks of the house: the Deep House and the absolute love for black music. The single is completed with remixes by Alton Miller and producers Karmasound & Less. Published by the Catalan label Escola Records, in physical and digital formats.
I will visit La Crema, the first kiosk in Barcelona that is also a record store. One of the reasons that brought me to this initiative, located in the Sant Antoni neighborhood (calle Marqués de Campo Sagrado, 15) is the selection of high-quality records for sale. From what I've seen on their Instagram account, The Lemon Twigs, Mac Miller, Lana Del Rey and Maria Jaume are some of the artists that parade through their stalls.
I will read the new graphic novel by Quebecer Guy Delisle. Published in Spanish by Astiberri publishing house, A fraction of a second brings us closer to a character that history has tended to forget: Eadweard Muybridge, a charismatic photographer with a long beard who is considered one of the great pioneers of cinema. The exciting story of a brilliant visionary.
The week that ends, with Thaïs Gutiérrez Vinyets
Notes on what we have seen, heard, tasted and, ultimately, experienced in the last seven days
I have celebrated the news of the publication in Spanish of Joan Didion's bookNotes for John, an unpublished work of nonfiction by the famous American writer and journalist that will be released in bookstores in July. The book - which is a diary - was discovered after her death and contained the reflections she made with her psychiatrist addressed to her husband, John.
I have eaten a fantastic mountain rice in an essential place in Ripollès, the Hostal Els Caçadors in Ribes de Freser. This must-stop if you pass through the area is a guarantee of quality and abundant food. If you don't like rice, there are delicious alternatives such as carved rice, cannelloni and various grilled meat options.
I have started Mar García Puig's new book, This is so dark (The Granada),where the writer and former MP raises the importance of metaphors in the language we use every day and in our lives in general and from here proposes a literary journey that goes from darkness, fears and obscurity to light.
I couldn't stop thinking about the premiere, finally!, of the new season of Shetland, a series that has become one of my favorites of 2024. Filmin released it this week And the big news this season is that the protagonist - the already legendary Jimmy Perez - is no longer with the show and the leadership of the criminal investigations is taken over by his inseparable Tosh, accompanied by a new police force that lands on the remote Shetland Islands with the intention of solving the many crimes that take place.
