Only ~6 of the planned 9km were done today. First we explored waterfalls, which was flowing fast after two days of heavy rain. We tried to see another but the access was blocked by goats, Great Pyrenees (guard dog), other loose dogs and horses, so we bailed.

Today's double RAAAD didn't happen because of tech issues, mainly because of a Layer 8 issue. I had forgotten to charge the ear buds, doh.

Managed to listen to most of Naxatras self titled album, Naxatras. Very progressive rock and Doors like. Need another listen since it was the first time, oh and thanks whomever recommended it to me.

I did get to squeeze out a few tracks of Shakira's Dónde Están los Ladrones? Always a joy to listen to her music, even if my Spanish can't follow.

So another run booked with these two albums ;)

This part of Spain got some beautiful, fun and interesting trails. But they are brutally sole destroying as this is the second one I saw on the trails. Again a double run with the mutts along with a double RAAAD. First The Dead South - Illusion and Doubts, where the banjo does keep you on your fast toes. The Cake - Fashion Nugget which I went the Distance with ;)

Double run with the mutts, first 3.5 km with Miss MoneyPenny the Podenco, who were like a bored teenager much more interested in her mobile phone, e.g. sniffing for something to hunt. Than being amazed that these stones are nearly 27.000 dogs years old. The sun came out and gave the second half with Paddy the Irish mutt, a stunning view over the bay to the to Vigo. So it wasn't to bad that our run turned out to be nearly 2km longer than planned.

RAAAD was Lhasa de Sela's album La Llorona, again an album that probally best stat down and enjoyed, than playing when your legs and lungs are screaming why did you go up this hill TWICE you numpty !! But I got to reminisce about the brilliant summer working on a campsite in France where this album was the sound track, to long hot days.

Manged to get out running while it was dry, though only a short run, because the little wood I had found to run in, had forestry workers doing some clear cutting. So route got cut sort and also rather slow as I didn't dare to run through the off cut branches laying across the trails and forest tracks.

I had made two mistakes with AnnenMayKantereit. First one, I somehow managed to click on play all their tracks and not just the wanted album - Alles Nix Konkretes. Though that meant that I got to listen to some tracks that I didn't know, like the sublime cover of Toxic, yes that one :) Second mistake is that AnnenMayKantereit is cleary music you need to sit down and listen to, preferable with good friends, log fire, great views and maybe a wee dram.

This comming RAAAD we, if you wanna join, are going to listen too:

M: Light in Babylon - Life Sometimes doesn't Give you Space. I think you, @coreysnipes, will love this, do listen to their other albums, they are all on BandCamp.

T: AnnenMayKantereit - Alles Nix Konkretes. Henning May voice is one to behold and I love the song Barfuß am Klavier, especially the video version.

W: Lhasa de Sela - La Llorona. This was the sound track to my summer of 2003.

T: The Dead South - Illusion and Doubts. Just because it's time for relisten

F: Naxatras - Naxatras. Someone years ago told me to listen to this, been on the "got to listen to list" way too long, so new to me.

S: Shakira - Dónde Están los Ladrones? Lass recommend it for me, though we have listened to Shakira a few times before.

S: Cake - Fashion Nugget. Since I missed out on this last week.

Today I want to offer a tune called "Nestling" to you! It was co-written by me and my partner Björn and it is about being brave and doing something you have never done before - something that might even have the potential to open a whole new world to you ... you never know! We decided to call it "Nestling" which is the same in English and German: a little bird, still in the nest, gathering the courage to leave it for the first time 🐦

I am playing the nyckelharpa here, Björn is playing a Nordic style cittern. The video was recorded live at Belgian Folkclub Muziekclub 't Ey - hope you enjoy ❤️
