El Blog de Sophie

Alex and I continue to speak over skype. Again, we talked more about music. He will be covering a drum part from a band that he found and likes. The music video is a little out there but if you want to see it he sent me the web address in this conversation. This conversation was in English so he could practice too because most of the time we speak in Spanish. Enjoy!
