This is me celebrating Chinese new year on Sunday feb 18th at Buenos Aires Chinatown.

New pic for my homepage.

This is me, sitting next to a TV set that happened to be playing a Depeche Mode video ("Strangelove"). OK, it's a paused DVD , you can notice this on the screen...

Coca Cola Zero!

Sector One!  

I finally gotsome copies of Sector One, the compilation released by Section44 Records featuring electropop artists from around the world, Canal Pop (me) among them.  

Coca Cola released a new version of their soda called Coca Cola Zero... It was released today and I tried it... Couldn't notice any different between this and the Diet Coke (Coca Light here). Maybe it was released because Pepsi re release the Pepsi Max...  

Eugenia in Mar Del Plata...  

Amén...

After spending New Year's Eve at my cousin Pablo's I went to Eugenia's party. She was 15 or 16 the last time I saw her. Now she's 22.

For Songwriters

1. Do not write in a void, have a store of lyrical ideas and melodies that you add to everyday.
2. Know who is likely to want to buy your song before you start. Identify your target audience.
3. Start with a title. Make it a catch phrase.
4. Lyrics should deal with aspects of personal relationships.
5. Tunes should peak at the title or catchphrase which is usually the point of the song.
6. As a rule tunes should start low in the register and rise up to the climax.
7. Make sure you have an identifiable structure. Verse, Chorus, Bridge etc.
8. Use tricks and gimmicks such as key changes and repeated words and sections.
