The return of Everett True | 52. Los Animalitos Del Bosque

More recommendations from the promised city, Barcelona. I mean, Jesus fuck does my contact there have my number or what?
This description of his kills me. I was prepared to make this a Song of the Day before I even listened to a note.
LOS ANIMALITOS DEL BOSQUE: they are like Ramones or Barracudas for kids. They sing mostly about silly animals. This year some of my favourite Spanish punk-pop bands became obsessed with them and cover their hit “Pelea de monos”. They are really cool!
Do you need to know anything else? I mean, really.
Music. It’s one part panache, 10 parts charm, three parts melody, 15 parts buzzsaw guitar, 10 parts silly costumes, three parts throaty harmonies, 23 parts a drummer who can’t quite keep up, 199 parts Ramones, 15 parts liquor, 23 parts exotica…. (continues in this vein for another five hours)…three parts soul boy dancing shoes.
I can’t pronounce Baccaruda.

by Everett True
My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
