latest installment of our tribute to the best music of this decade, we present our favorite albums and singles of 2004. A year full of impressive debuts from bands that left their indelible stamp to the Zeros (Franz Ferdinand, TV On The Radio, Arcade Fire) and important comebacks from old favorites (Nick Cave, Morrissey, Mark Lanegan, Sonic Youth, Beastie Boys)... | |

Their team won the Champions League cup on Wednesday, achieving a rare triple crown and causing all night celebrations across the city. And for the next three days, from Thursday 28/5 to Saturday 30/5, the festivities moved to Parc Del Forum, by the city's sea-front, where the celebrations did not involve only the locals but the whole international indie community that had gathered there for Primavera Sound '09, one of the top festivals of the genre worldwide. | |

The guitars were on fire back then! But first we have a brief statement about the future of this column for the summer months ... | |

In the first part of the presentation we are dealing with this year's event that is taking place between the 28th and 30th August, and in the second part we shall try to give you a taste of the festival's atmosphere through personal experiences from visits to Reading between 1992 and 2006. | |

From the multitude of fine spring releases, the one that stands out the most is the third Yeah Yeah Yeahs LP, the amazing "It's Blitz!", which also boasts one of the most striking covers of the year... | |

And if you happen to be a music lover like us, I think that you would find it a good idea to combine your holidays with a real music festival, a festival somewhere abroad that would enable you, with a ticket around 60 euros per day, to choose between 150 bands instead of the 7 or 8 maximum that you will find in domestic events. Our tribute to the summer festivals around Europe starts here, with the presentation of Primavera Sound '09 that takes place in Barcelona at the end of May | |

The album of the month for this column, as our regular readers could expect after reading last week's feature, is «Fantasies», the excellent fourth long-player by Canada's Metric... | |
