A friend of mine wasn’t a local and wanted help finding “70s music” for a party.

I was first introduced to Shakira through Whenever, Wherever (2001 song), via the video, and really loved it. I hunted through my resources and found that she had been around for quite some time and a lot of her music was in Spanish (Españoles). Many thanks to that anonymous person somewhere in South America who had an excellent collection which I could build on.
Having lost my fear of “foreign” music through my appreciation for Lacuna Coil (Italian) and later for Vintersorg (Swedish), I fell in love with her voice even when not in English.
A strange aside.. for some reason a song or two really rung a bell for me.. as if I had heard them before somewhere. Nada es facil (“Inevitable”, 1998 – Dónde Están Los Ladrones? #05) did that for me. Weird.
I also bumped into a couple of other artists by the name of “Shakira”.. go figure. =)
TODO – Select songs
TODO – absorb bits of pushmeaway?

A metal/rap-ish/”alternative” metal band, who I know from their very early days and still have pre-release songs from Xero and Hybrid Theory.
They were really great, but like their peers they slid downhill. I stopped caring about them many years ago.

KnuckleTracks [ 1 ] Earlier archives note previous editions.
KnuckleTracks and Blood Tracks were CD samplers of (usually) heavy metal music from various bands. They came with the (physical) magazine Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles.
I had lots of exposure of hard rock and heavy metal before my collecting Knuckletracks, but this was my grand induction into the world of Heavy Metal and what I would later learn is called Goth or Gothic Metal.
