- Piwin: thanks for your comment. I don't know if "effeminate" is the right word but I think that today flamenco is much softer, wich I don't enjoy very much * Yes it's a computer generated voice (LOL) I couldn't find anybody to do that in English so I thought that could be funny * Thanks for your advice on the "breaking news". I'm learning English by listening to some podcasts and radio stations and I took it from there, I thought it had a different sense. Is it ok if I say "let's talk about the latest flamenco news/events?" :) * I also enjoy gossip and the personal stories, but they usually give you like...10 minutes for the interview, so the environment doesn't help, but I'll try it if I find the right moment. Once I tried to start an intervew with personal thoughts and stuff and it was a disaster, I'll tell you some day :) Yeah I know what you mean about the "softer" play. I just don't think it applies to all contemporary players. To some, definitely. What I worry about more is how some players seem to get lost in the "technical" aspect of things to the detriment of any form of story-telling. For instance, the Habichuela nieto kid has amazing technique, but everytime I hear him play it just goes way over (or under) my head. It's like sure, nice picado, but what are you telling me with all of this? what's the story? - to be fair, a lot of journalist today sound like they have a computer generated voice too! Some of the intonations just suprised me ^^ - Yeah "let's talk about the latest flamenco news/events" sounds find. You can also "cover", "go over", "run through" the news among other things. Your English is really good and as Lenador said it really wasn't a bother, I just find that, as a foreigner in Spain, you reach a point in a language where people stop correcting you so it makes it hard to improve. I have to ask people here repeatedly to correct me or else they just won't do it and I'll be stuck at the same level I'm at today. -Oooh sounds like there's a juicy story there! [:D] Yeah I kind of figured there were also practical constraint like time, was just a suggestion if it were possible. Also, Kudos for managing to make a podcast without a computer!!
