Coque Malla: "El último hombre en la tierra tiene muchos responsables máximos y secundarios" - RTVE.es
Spanish radio program featuring many DC-related things: at 2:22 singer Coque Malla performs one of his song heavily influenced by Absent Friends ; at 24:00 some talks about The Divine Comedy ; at 75:00 Jacobo Serra & Alondra Bentley perform a cover of Our Mutual Friend, video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvuNqCNrtHs
Otros responsables colaterales son, cómo no, los amigos, colegas como Alondra Bentley y Jacobo Serra, la gran sorpresa de la noche, para Coque y para todos los demás. Juntos, en el estudio, protagonizaron el momento más emocionante de la noche, derrochando talento y sensibilidad en “Our mutual friend”, de The Divine Comedy, una de las grandes influencias de nuestro invitado. Ella continúa presentando Resolutions y él acaba de lanzar Icebergs.
