I had dipped my toes into some Fuensanta collabs in the past but never got around to listening to her solo work. YouTube suggested a two hour candid interview between her and one of her contemporary peers.
Their passion for art and the creative process and the energy they bring behind it has ensured that today I will definitely be working through their discog.
I wonāt bore you with a two hour interview (itās about her creative process and what she, as a mexican, learned from attending a music school in Amsterdam after been rewarded a grant to attend.)
Itās very stripped down bare bones folk music but the tempo can ramp up big time on the EP Iām currently listening to.

They put an anthemic pop hook into a narrative context so now I have no choice but to accept it. Which is also the point of the songā¦ Touche

Thereās no way a post-90ies pop label would ever allow that long of a Guitar solo in the song, thoughā¦

Good point. We should let Cory Wong know his solo ruined the world building of the song 
I hate when bad writing breaks Immersion (:

Yay the albums out, and it was recorded live so now thereās a whole show to watch with it 
They verge dangerously close to beegees territory on some of those tracks not released in the lead up to launch 
Wales will be up in arms

Oh wow, itās like those Heavy Metal cartoons but for a family audience 
And anthropomorphic mouse people, does it get any more 80s than that?
Looking into the studio behind it, Nelvana, and its producer, Michael Hirsh, youāll see they were responsible for a lot of animation you may be familiar with
They produced the animation segments for the Star Wars Christmas Special (everyones favourite canonical star wars story 
) as well as the animated series, Star Wars: Droids.
The production of a sci fi christmas animation āA cosmic Christmasā is what got george lucas attention and why he approached them for it.
As I continue to read Iām now realising this studio DOMINATED my childhood in the 90sā¦
āBy the end of the 90ās, Nelvana was the leading independent animation company in North America with more shows on US TV than any other network.ā
Hirsh specialized in working with publishers and authors to adapt their books including Maurice Sendakās Little Bear, Joanna Coleās The Magic School Bus, Franklin the Turtle, The Neverending Story, Pippi Longstocking , Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Timothy Goes to School , Miss Spiderās Tea Party, Max & Ruby , The Berenstain Bears, George Shrinks and the British comic strip Rupert Bear . Nelvana had self-made successes of its own during the 1990s, such as Eek! The Cat , Dog City (with Jim Henson Productions) and Nedās Newt . Working with great comedians Nelvana produced the animated versions of Roseanne Barrās Little Rosey and Jim Carreyās Ace Ventura Pet Detective.
They got purchased and absorbed into Corus in 2000 and while a part of corus, created the Show BeyBlade, which I was aware of but was not the target demo, but I do recall that being incredibly popular.
Despite the flop of rock and rule its incredible to see they went on to have a lasting impact.

Yesā¦ Rollerskates everywhere (The ones where the wheels are not in one line)!

The breaks on those things terrified me. I have to lean my foot forward to break and simultaneously brace my knees so I donāt go end over end? And the break is just a hard chunk of rubber? 
I saw my death waiting to happen. Also I saw ghost dad, so I knew rollerskates on stairs can kill and bill Cosby is never to be trusted.
I waited the appropriate number of years for rolleblades to become common place.
And boy did I rollerblade. The Mighty Ducks was a pretty big deal for kids my age when it came out
