One night last week during a severe bout of insomnia, I puttered around the internet site Chatroulette for some dialogue with a stranger that I hoped would help lull me to sleep.
Instead, I found myself deep in conversation with a young graphic designer and musician from Barcelona. We talked for about an hour about politics, culture and his band, Appledog.
While I'm usually skeptical of things strangers tell me online, I clicked over to Appledog's MySpace page and was pleasantly surprised by the sounds that greeted me. My new friend's band, for which he sometimes provides bass guitar and atmospherics, is good. Real good. And very Spanish, almost like a Catalan, techno version of Radiohead.
Here's their video for "Greenhouse," which was filmed in 2007:
