I've been posting on a comments thread to La increíble verdad Redux, a Spanish-language blog by Iván Conte. There've been a number of different topics, one of which is the state of music criticism in Spain, a subject I know nothing about for the very good reason that I don't understand Spanish.

You might immediately ask, therefore, how do I manage to post on that comment thread, and the answer is that I've been posting in English - used the Google automatic translation program to get a vague sense of what Iván and his friend anhh were talking about, then jumped in, and since they know English they were kind enough to switch languages. The language becomes English at post 7. (By the way, anhh has occasionally posted on my lj.)

Music criticism in Spain )

Iván says that any of us who wants to contribute to the topic is more than welcome. As I said, I'm somewhat handicapped by not knowing anything about it and not knowing the language, but maybe several of you do know the language. (And of course you - and they - are welcome to post here too.)

I have the same initial reaction to Allison Iraheta's "Friday I'll Be Over U" that I had to Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You," which is to say I waver between "irresistible" and "please shut up."
