I do! I have one with a line from Indefinitely inside a tulip stem — “Time exists but just on your wrist”. The design was made by one dear friend of mine. A few years ago I showed it to Fran, and he even took a picture of it :). I would really like to get another one soon, I just can make up my mind about the design or lyrics.

I believe there won’t ever be another film as great as Almost Fashionable. But since I was lucky enough to already watched it in the same movie theater and at the same time as you (best day ever!), I can definitely choose a different one for the film night.

[almond]

I’m down for it! What film do you have in mind?

[almond]

Hey Fran! You are so close! 👏 That time off will surely help you to get the job done. Xx

Hola Neil! I’m attending the 3 shows here in Mexico and just can’t wait! See you soon! Xx

Hola. Supongo que hablas del concierto en CDMX, el 14 de octubre, ¿cierto? Porque hay otras 2 fechas antes en otros estados, y está más complicado reunirse ahí. Me gustaría participar, pero voy también a Querétaro y Monterrey, y no sé si me den los tiempos 😕. De cualquier forma, espero que logres tener mucha participación, a veces siento que es un poco difícil ponernos de acuerdo los fans mexicanos, jeje.

Hey Neil! Exciting news! Can’t wait to hear the new stuff you have for us 😀. Xx

I totally forgot about Juanes, but he’s great for listening. “A Dios le pido” was my go-to for understanding one of the uses of subjunctive mood.

No problem! Maybe one day we will chat about Travis in Spanish 😉

I used to be a Spanish as a foreign language teacher, and I agree that listening to music helps a lot. I had a long repertoire back then, but I guess it needs to be updated, hehe.

I would recommend to you “Me gustas tú” de Manu Chao, very basic, just to get used to how the verb “gustar” works in Spanish. “Nadie como tú” de Calle 13 may not be your cup of tea, but it has tons of useful vocabulary. “Eres” de Café Tacvba has pretty much all the verbs in present tense, so it works for a basic level. Other bands and singers that I would recommend even if you don’t get all the words are Soda Stereo, Gustavo Cerati y Fito Páez (Argentina); Fobia, Natalia Lafourcade, Santa Sabina, Torreblanca (México); Héroes del Silencio, Enrique Bunbury, Arde Bogotá, Vetusta Morla (Spain)… I mean, there’s a whole bunch, these are just to name a few. Hope it is useful for you 😊.

Uy, sí, es un problema encontrarlo ahora. Me parece que una fan de México (Erika) lo había descargado, aunque sin subtitulos :/. Yo lo compré hace muchos años en Vimeo y aún tengo acceso a todo, pero la verdad no he tenido tiempo de descargarlo de algún modo 🫢. Ojalá la banda pueda ponerlo disponible de nuevo en alguna plataforma 🙌

Me uno a la campaña: ¡no queremos show de medio tiempo en el fútbol! 😅

[almond]

¡Feliz cumpleaños, Fran! 🥳 Have a fantastic one! Xx

¡Feliz cumpleaños, Fran! 🥳

In 2024, a few months before L.A. Times was released, and a few weeks before we could listen to Gaslight, Fran came to Mexico City for a solo gig to support one of his friends for the pop-up bar of Treasure Club. There was a meet-and-greet, and I was able to get a ticket. At some point Fran told us that something new was coming, and showed me some stills from the Gaslight video, and then he said “You didn’t hear anything from me”. Things like that are what makes him so adorable 🫶.

I just read about this on the news. I hope everything is ok. My thoughts are with you! Stay safe!
