Saw a presentation of one of the founders of Berlin based company betterplace.org yesterday. I absolutely love the idea, it’s an online marketplace (like ebay or amazon) for social projects, that allows you to give donations directly to social projects posted by people who are actually working on these projects, not some obscure organisation.

The credibility of these projects is regulated by the community itself, donations are forwarded 100%. Betterplace themselves are a non-profit organization and make their money by consulting companies for social activities based on the platform.

Rarely heard of a smoother and nobler business model!

As many of you know, music is one of my passions. I consider it’s an evidence that in the story of the Spanish music, where I come from, there have been and there are bands that deserve to be much more known that they are, even in my own country. That’s why a group of friends of mine and me created lafonoteca, a space that aims to reivindicate our own music, which has evolved in some cases creating an unique sound.

After a while living in London, it came to me the idea of bringing Spanish bands to play here. With the help of some people, and getting a couple of contacts, I am happy to announce that I am bringing Triangulo de Amor Bizarro -so far one of the best noise rock bands in the moment- the 10th of May to play at The Legion, in Shoreditch, in an event which will be the first step of a project that involves local bands to do an enriching crossover of music scenes. This time, TAB will be playing with The Light Shines, The Confederate Dead and Temperatures, best of all, for FREE!!

Doors will open at 19.30, is there any best option to go trough a Sunday hangover?

I have created an event on facebook to do a viral thing, so hope to see you all there!
