barcelona -



it feels like home, spain. man, i didn´t realize how much i missed it until i got back. i don´t wanna go back to cincinnati. don´t really have any reason to, either.



on the plus side, some stuff i forgot to mention - i got a couple of rekkids in france: the Stranglers ¨always the sun¨ single, and Lou Reeds ¨Berlin,¨ both in good condition and both on vinyl. score. you can check out the rest of my somewhat meager collection Here

if you trade mix tapes or would like to do a trade for copy of anything i have, send me an e-mail ( rafewdavis@hotmail.com ) or talk to me on AIM (gloing blu orb). im looking for stuff by the Standells, Sam the Sham and the Pharohs, mission of burma, the miracle workers, Tracer, the lotus eaters, husker du bootlegs, and/or The Swinging Medallions. and Le Six.



sorry about that, i got sidetracked.



barcelona...it´s very nice. it´s about the size of cincinnati, but a million times more cultured. which shows. i´m putting my money on the fact that cincinnati hasn´t been around for the last several hundred years...i feel like i should say something deep but i can´t. i´ll say something cliche instead: i like barecleona more than paris, because even though it has the same general architectural style and cultural melange, people´s balconies here in barcelona betray a lot more personality than the stark wrought iron barricades the parisians call balconies. you´ll see plants or bicycles or stuffed animals or flags or anti-war banners here, but never in paris. if you think that´s a cheap shallow reason to not like paris that much, well fine. but i think that it says something about the people - they´re trying to be more involved in their environment, and kitsch, i guess, is the most common way to try to shape things on a very basic level - but they also do more one a greater level (voting, for instance). maybe this is why americans

like kitsch so much - it makes them feel like their in control.
