Llorenç Santamaria walks through the bar door and greets with a handshake and a wide smile that doesn't leave him during two hours of conversation. He is surprised to see the photographer. "Oh, but do we have to take photos? I could have sent you some!". He looks at himself as if to check that his appearance will be up to the task. In his silhouette, the Mediterranean man coexists – linen trousers and shirt – with the rocker he has never ceased to be – earring in his ear. Music starts playing on his Ray-Ban Meta glasses and he takes them off to turn it off. He wears a cap with the initials LS engraved and poses with and without it, while he adjusts his hair. He orders an iced Americano coffee, smiles and is ready for the questions. He lives in Barcelona, but he comes and goes continuously to Mallorca to take care of his 95-year-old sister. He is up to date with what is happening in his homeland and, before addressing a career of more than six decades, he starts with overtourism.

This Sunday will mark eight months since a large rock fell from the cliff at Cala Sant Esteve (Es Castell), crushing the villa below and landing right on top of a 65-year-old man while he was sleeping. His wife, Olga, was left seriously injured by his side and has still not been able to overcome her grief. In fact, neither she nor her daughter Carme have been able to return to the house. “Everything remains the same: the rock, the rubble, the damage… yet we continue to pay as if we still lived there,” complains the couple's daughter. This Friday, along with 13 other neighbors and in the presence of her mother, she appeared before the cameras and journalists to draw the attention of political leaders and demand that procedures and aid be accelerated so that everyone can return home.

The Calar Alto Astronomical Observatory, located in Almeria, has recorded a super fireball originated from a rock detached from a comet that entered the Earth's atmosphere at an estimated speed of 238,000 kilometers per hour, at a point located northeast of the Balearic Islands. The episode took place between September 10 and 11 and is part of the high-luminosity phenomena detected in recent days by the Calar Alto observation systems.

Since the eighties and, one could say, since the nineties, island rock had not been as young as it is now. It had aged. Adolescent bands that had not yet reached their twenties were either nonexistent or anecdotal.

The third edition of the Pollença Rock festival will take place on July 7 and 8, and its program will include exclusive concerts this summer, such as the performances by Fora des Sembrat and Sau, during the first day.

The operation to lift the 20-ton rock beneath which the man was trapped after a rockfall early Tuesday morning in Cala Sant Esteve, El Castell, Menorca, concluded this evening with the recovery of his body. In addition to the man, who was approximately 65 years old, a woman was injured when the large rock fell, according to sources from the SAMU 061 emergency service. The rockfall caused a boulder to fall onto the building, trapping two people inside. SAMU 061 personnel, firefighters, and the Civil Guard were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, paramedics located the people trapped under the rock. One of the victims, a man of approximately 65 years of age, died at the scene. The other victim, a woman in her sixties, was rescued in serious condition and taken to Mateu Orfila Hospital after the activation of the severe polytrauma protocol. Firefighters are carrying out maintenance work to prevent further landslides.

The Menorca Fire Chief, Juanjo Franch, attributed the rockfall that killed a man on Tuesday to the rain and dense vegetation. Emergency services, Franch explained, carried out safety work on the structure of the three-story building and are removing debris that fell onto the roof. The mayor of Castell, Lluís Camps, detailed that the affected couple lived on the ground floor, while some of their children and their families lived on the first and second floors. All of them were evacuated because, according to the Fire Chief, drone footage detected cracks in the cliff face that could cause further rockfalls. For this reason, residents of neighboring houses were also evacuated, and work will continue to secure the cliff face and remove the existing vegetation.

Death is never welcome. Much less so when it's the death of a friend. Christian Völker Llull (Manacor, 1962) left us the day before Christmas Eve, a victim of illness. Far too soon for a person with such captivating energy and attitude. Always ready to defend, courageous in attack, projects sprang from him and he pursued them with the punk passion that always drove him. One of the last times we saw each other, at his house, we talked about music (always music) and aboutPunk in LondonA 1977 German documentary featuring the new bands on the English scene, which, of course, we watched in its entirety.
