Automedusa listens, writes about and breathes indie music. Discovers greatness in minuscule 3 min or + chapters in the form of song. Writes reviews from the deepest muscle in her heart, meaning she will experience the music and pour the sensations, thoughts, and shocks caused by an album or track, into a train of words that sometimes can’t be stopped.

From the late 1980’s to today I have been accumulating songs, tapes, cd’s and lately mp3’s podcasts, etc. Always writing about it, letting songs affect me to the core and using them for my own personal un-shared autobiography. My favorite activity: creating special playlists for special people.

Many people write and discuss indie music. There are hundreds of thousands of blogs which devote their posts to share the love for certain bands, tracks or labels, unfortunately, very few are good at getting the feeling across. Many discuss genres, influences, similarities. They look for genius in the latest release from an obscure label and then forget about them. Automedusa loves the music just because. The record collection, the mp3 collection, the lyrics collection began to grow out of nowhere. Living in México it wasn’t easy to be well informed of the many scenes, so the cd’s and tapes that landed were trasured. Who cares if you don’t know that the band you are listening to currently will never be featured in any music webzine: you own the track and you surrender to it’s honesty.

So after many years of enjoyment, and sending compilation tapes, compilation CD’s, the time comes when it’s not enough to be cornered in a room feeling lonely and overwhelmed by the amount of MP3 blogs that claim to play the tracks first, that claim to have the first leak of a new album just to show off and boast about it I try to profit from the language and take this blog to another dimension, it is in spanish, it’s a diary of the circumstances around a certain album or song, the effect of it, the trancendency, and what happens to my life after it’s been changed by the most intangible of pleasures, music.

This page points to resources and cherished bands and tracks and on a personal note, I’m about to move abroad so i might as well start brushing up on my written English.
