Journey to the center of my brain
Eric Jiménez
Penguin Books | 2021
Back in 2017 we got fully into the biography of Eric Jiménez, the legendary drummer of Los Planetas y Lagartija Nick, but what we did not know was that four years later we would find the continuation of that reading. His new installment is a journey along roads until reaching appointments that he knew when they began, but not, when, nor how they would end. Journey to the center of my brain It is a book in which the chapters give way to kilometers to tell us about their experiences at festivals, meetings (lucky or not so) with the fans, appearances of illustrious friends and personal confessions, all told in first person and with the surrealism that usually surrounds his experiences. An acidic and fun diary of experiences to discover the most intimate side of one of the most recognized Granada musicians.
