Still a little dislocated and lost in barcelona today.
Even though I know where I am now. Much colder than Helsinki, these atmostpheric old apartments are draughty and have no central heating. So much for a week in the sun : )
Cat Power concert last night was interesting, she kind of lost focus half way through, and started saying, oh, this sucks, sorry. Which she is apparently famous for. Some of the euro-trashy audience talked loudly all through the concert, which no doubt made it harder for her. Vulnerable and honest, but also kind of annoying - if you are going to get up and perform in public, at some point you need to deal with being in the spotlight. But then, it is very rare to see someone admit to all their insecurities like that in public. Maybe what I´m doing really does suck, but no-one will tell me, kind of thing.
Anyway, I know how she feels today. It too will pass. The venue was lush, all dark red wood panels and chandeliers, another old cinema turned music venue.
