Recibimos un invitado especial, Juan José Losa, que ya nos ha visitado varias veces y que nos guiará por una época y fenómeno muy especial en la historia del rock. Si en ocasiones anteriores nos deteníamos en periodos clave de la historia de la música, hoy vamos a hacer lo propio con otra época y estilo que, si bien no han tenido demasiado protagonismo en los casi 200 capítulos de El Escondite, hoy hacemos justicia a una vertiente de la música que surge a finales de los 70 y de los 80 y que ha trascendido todas las décadas hasta nuestros días. Hablamos del synth pop, nombre con el que se le conoció en Gran Bretaña, su lugar de origen, llamado también, en nuestro país y en otros, techno pop, o simplemente “techno”. Hoy recorremos esa escena que más tarde daría origen al “house”, al “dance” y en general a las futuras músicas de baile electrónicas.

En este episodio, Opa Kim nos acompaña en el regreso a la rutina con lo mejor del K-pop y animes. Descubre las tendencias y debates que marcan el inicio de 2025:

En la carátula del disco del grupo ‘Las Nenas’ aparece ese nombre y la foto de tres chicas. Hacen pop vintage con letras que llaman la atención. Dan entrevistas. Eso sí, solo por correo electrónico. Las puedes escuchar y conocer casi todo sobre ellas, porque hemos sabido y han reconocido que no existen. Es música creada por IA y detrás hay dos personas desconocidas. No existen esas tres mujeres que cantan. Hablamos con la periodista que ha contado esta historia en elDiario.es, Susana Monteagudo. Pero esto, aunque lo parezca, no es algo nuevo. También contamos con Laura García Higueras, la periodista de elDiario.es que desveló hace unos meses que el primer disco de La Oreja de Van Gogh no estaba grabado por los músicos de La Oreja de Van Gogh. Con ella descubrimos que este fenómeno no se quedó en ellos. Ha habido muchos engaños, como el de ‘Las Nenas’. Acabamos con un último concepto: el autotune. Una herramienta que está normalizada en la música. Para otros, podría ser otro punto en esta cadena de engaños. Buscamos comprender exactamente lo que es con el productor musical Marcos Muñiz. *** Envíanos una nota de voz por Whatsapp contándonos alguna historia que conozcas o algún sonido que tengas cerca y que te llame la atención.

La joven onubense Elisa Fernández Guzmán nos presenta Después del pop (Ed. Rialp), su primer poemario, con el que ganó el accésit del Premio de Poesía Adonáis en 2023. Un libro fresquísimo y tierno que se atreve a reivindicar la cursilería y los sentimientos inflamados de la adolescencia.Luego, Ignacio Elguero pone sobre la mesa otros dos títulos: La gran fractura americana (Ed. La esfera de los libros), de la corresponsal en Washington de TVE Cristina Olea, que reúne aquí algunas de las crónicas que ha ido escribiendo en su estancia en EEUU para ofrecernos una panorámica del país, que en apenas un mes celebrará unas elecciones presidenciales decisivas no solo para su futuro, sino el de todo el mundo, y también Alcalá de Henares. Historia entre ficciones (Ed. Tintablanca), guía literaria de la ciudad, en la que el periodista cultural del ABC Jesús García Calero traza la biografía de la cuna de Cervantes apoyándose en las ilustraciones de Paula Varona.Además Javier Lostalé abre su ventanita poética a Julia Uceda, la gran escritora hispalense afincada en Ferrol, que falleció este verano y de la que Vandalia publicó el año pasado su Poesía completa.En Peligro en la estación, nuestro colaborador Sergio C. Fanjul nos habla de Dinosaurio (Ed. Colectivo Bruxista), la peculiarísima novela del escritor valenciano David Pascual. Un libro enigma protagonizado por una voz infantil muy ambigua, de tono bíblico y lleno de referencias pop muy inquietantes que por momentos se lee como un relato de terror.Terminamos Desmontando el poema con la ayuda de Mariano Peyrou, que esta vez nos recomienda Las huidas (Ed. La bella Varsovia), la poesía reunida de la escritora madrileña Pilar Adón, entre cuyas cualidades se cuenta la capacidad de generar grandes emociones sin recurrir a temas supuestamente importantes ni grandes gestos retóricos.Escuchar audio

At a drinks party in around 2011 or 2012, I had the ear of Andrew Feldman, aka Baron Feldman of Elstree, former Chairman of the Conservative Party—he of “swivel-eyed loons” fame, though he never actually said that. (Andrew is a friend, by the way.)“Tell George Osborne to buy back the gold Gordon Brown sold,” I advised.“At these prices?” smiled Andrew with a mix of incredulity, amusement, and polite condescension.“Yes!” I said. “It might be good publicity, even. Or do it secretly, and announce it afterward. The important thing is getting the gold back. We will need it at some point. Why not just quantitatively ease the money and buy it back? You're doing that and buying bonds.”Andrew laughed at my joke, which wasn't a joke, and then wandered off in search of someone more sane to talk to.Given the government has this extraordinary power to create money out of nothing, why don't they just print money and buy hard assets with it?Park that thought for a moment.A couple of months ago, I was at Liz Truss's book launch—aren't you impressed with all this name-dropping?—and I ran into Mark Littlewood, former director of the IEA and now of PopCon. I started bending his ear about the media's failure to report on the Bank of England and how it had shafted Truss with its advanced notice of gilt sales, Quantitative Tightening, which began the day before Kwasi Kwarteng's budget and led to a collapse in the gilt market, the blame for which was then left at Kwasi Kwarteng's doorstep. Mark nodded. “Do you think I don't know?” said Liz.“I would love to be able to grill Andrew Bailey in public,” I said. “Or just ask him one question with people watching. I know exactly what I'd ask him.”“What?” said Mark.“If the Bank of England can print money, why do we need taxes?”Mark laughed and, thinking I was asking him that question, replied, “Money illusion.”Charlie Morris is one of my closest mates and he writes what I think is one of the best investment newsletters out there, in fact a suite of them. I urge you to sign up for a free trial.Money illusion is one of those economic terms that is pretty self-explanatory, but here is an example. Most of know a hundred pounds does not buy you today what it bought you ten years ago, but we still think in terms of past prices. (Old people do this more, for obvious reasons). A worker might feel great with a 5% raise, but if inflation is 7%, he is actually earning less than before. This has been an ongoing process for decades with the result that, in real terms, wages are lower.Here's the Wikipedia definition (edited by me):In economics, money illusion, or price illusion, is a cognitive bias where money is thought of in nominal, rather than real, terms. In other words, the face value (nominal value) of money is mistaken for its purchasing power (real value) at a previous point in time. The term was coined by Irving Fisher in Stabilizing the Dollar, and popularized by John Maynard Keynes in the early twentieth century. Fisher also wrote a book on the subject, The Money Illusion, in 1928.Mark and I both doubted that Bailey would give that as the answer, even if he thought it, which we doubted he would. If governments started printing money and buying assets, many would start questioning money, and faith in fiat might quickly evaporate. If governments worldwide started doing it (eg Britain prints money and starts buying land in France) you are in race-to-the-bottom territory. It would be a race to the bottom for fiat currency.Even if Bailey thought money illusion was the answer, he certainly wouldn't say it because that in itself undermines fiat.Modern money has nominal value, but not intrinsic value. It relies on illusion (and the law) to function. The more you debase it, the less likely that illusion is to hold. Maybe money delusion is more accurate. Obviously, the backing of the law makes a great difference, as does the fact that taxes must be collected in this money, but, boy, is the system vulnerable. Illusions can last a long time. But when they shatter, they shatter very quickly, and then there is nothing.I don't say the system will pop. It has been going on for a long time. But I do observe that it very easily could.It's why I recommend both gold and bitcoin. Both are money in and of themselves: one is the product of nature, the other the product of extraordinary amounts of computer power. Neither relies on anyone else.If you liked this article, please tell a friend.If you are interested in buying gold, check out my recent report. I have a feeling it is going to come in very handy.My recommended bullion dealer is the Pure Gold Company.Life After the State - Why We Don't Need Government (2013), my first book, is now back in print - with the audiobook here: Audible UK, Audible US, Apple Books. I recommend the audiobook ;)And if you are in the Scottish neck of the woods this August, look out for me at the Edinburgh Fringe. I'll be performing one of my “lectures with funny bits”.

Hello, Kinda Nerdy fans! In our latest episode, we had an absolute blast podcasting live from PopCon in Indianapolis. It was a special episode filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and of course, all things nerdy! Joined by Tia from Geek Vibes Nation, we celebrated her first in-person appearance on the podcast, which added an extra layer of excitement to our discussions. We kicked off the episode with a fun anecdote about my less-than-stellar singing encounter with John Barrowman, setting the stage for a day filled with fandom and excitement. The episode was packed with highlights from PopCon, including our interactions with stars like Elijah Wood, Andy Serkis, and the actors from "Lord of the Rings." I shared a particularly memorable moment from the Andy Serkis panel, where he revealed the unexpected inspiration behind Gollum's voice—a cat having a hairball! We also delved into our fundraising efforts for Indie Neighborhood Cats, featuring exclusive "Lord of the Rings" art cards, and discussed the incredible array of activities available at PopCon, from gaming panels with the voices behind Red Dead Redemption and GTA V to unexpected delights like darts and wrestling. Our discussions were peppered with personal stories and reflections on how PopCon brings different fandoms together in a unique and inclusive way. We wrapped up the episode feeling grateful for the community, the shared passions, and the new memories we created. Thank you to everyone who joined us live, and for those who missed it, be sure to catch up on this unforgettable episode. Until next time, stay kinda nerdy!
