Hoy recibimos en el estudio a Un Lugar Tranquilo, el nuevo proyecto formado por Abel Guzmán, Aitor Uribarri y Edo Vallejos. En esta charla sincera y cargada de buena energía, descubrimos cómo nació esta banda casi por casualidad tras un reencuentro en IKEA. Los tres músicos, con una larga trayectoria a sus espaldas, nos cuentan cómo han buscado refugio en un sonido crudo, sin artificios y profundamente influenciado por el rock alternativo y el emo de los 90 (atizando guiños a bandas como Sunny Day Real Estate, Fugazi o Karate), convirtiendo su local de ensayo en su particular "terapia" contra el estrés cotidiano.

Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley from SUNN O))) are here to discuss their new self-titled album, American artists moving to Porto in Portugal, why they relate to author Robert Macfarlane's vivid liner notes and his essay about being overwhelmed by a standing wave, reflecting upon our experiences at a memorial gathering for Steve Albini and what we learned about him, how this album's producer Brad Wood kept things organized when songs might contain upwards of 130 guitar tracks each, ambient recording, a treehouse editing suite, and placing microphones in the woods outside of the Bear Creek Studio, why it was significant for SUNN O))) to connect their music to the environment, the significance of making their first record for Sub Pop self-titled and without any other collaborators, distinguishing between nostalgia and celebrating history, their recent visit with Ian MacKaye at Dischord House and its impressive archival systems, their digital live series, upcoming tour dates, other future plans, and much more.EVERY OTHER COMPLETE KREATIVE KONTROL EPISODE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO PATREON SUPPORTERS STARTING AT $6/MONTH.

Hoy os traemos una de las bandas de Rock más importantes de la década de los 00s, grupo que marcó a toda una generación, sentó las bases y popularizó un movimiento que fue amado por muchos y odiado por otros tantos, que es el Emo. My Chemical Romance es una banda que se forma en el año 2002 en Nueva Jersey, Estados Unidos. Actualmente los miembros son Gerard Way como vocalista y líder de la banda, Matt Way, su hermano, al bajo, Frank Iero a los coros y la guitarra rítmica y Ray ToroToro como guitarrista principal y a los coros. Tienen una gran inspiración en bandas de Emo y Post-Hardcore como Thursday, Fugazi, The Used, Glassjaw pero por otra parte también de bandas y artistas clásicos como Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Queen o The Smashing Pumpkins que fue la banda que más les inspiró en sus sonido de Rock Alternativo. Su primer álbum 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love' fue publicado en el año 2002, y los colocó en la escena underground del emo siendo el disco con el sonido más crudo y violento de la banda. En 2004 lanzan 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge', un disco más melódico y con letras sobre adolescencia y que marcó el devenir de la banda. Le sigue el disco del que os hablamos hoy que es T'he Black Parade' del año 2006, donde la banda alcanzó éxito internacional. Y su discografía principal cierra, hasta el momento con 'Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys' del año 2010. En el año 2015 la banda entra en un periodo de hiatus y retorna en 2022 con nuevos conciertos y material.

Bitcoin is teetering near $72,000 as the Iran war heats back up, with Trump claiming Tehran "really wants" a deal while air strikes resumed over the weekend near the Strait of Hormuz, sending Brent crude up 3.7% to $94.48 and WTI surging 4.3% to $91.07. A tentative 60 day memorandum of understanding would reopen the Hormuz chokepoint with unrestricted shipping and require Iran to clear all mines within 30 days, but the deal still awaits Trump's final approval and Iran's response. Meanwhile Coinbase is launching direct rupee rails in India on June 1 to attack the $3 billion local crypto market, Fed Governor Christopher Waller declared dollar stablecoins could expand the reach of U.S. monetary policy globally, and Jamie Dimon just vowed JPMorgan and the banking lobby will fight the CLARITY Act over stablecoin yield. Plus Michael Burry dropped a bombshell calling the Nvidia, xAI, Apollo, Athene structure "Fugazi", alleging $5.4 billion in GPUs are hidden off balance sheets while American retirees unknowingly hold $103 billion in Level 3 assets at 16x leverage inside a Bermuda insurance shell. We are breaking down whether Bitcoin can survive another Hormuz spike, what Waller's stablecoin endorsement means for the dollar, and why Burry's warning could be the most dangerous story nobody is talking about.
