I normally don't play the games, but this is a good idea, so I'm in. My topic is indie rock. I suppose many of the words apply to various genres, but they're all words I've found in use in actual blogs or books about indie rock. Which also means that I know this is how they're really used, at least in Spain.
Fichar por - to sign with (a label)
El sello - label
El ensayo - rehearsal
Infraproducido - underproduced
La maqueta - demo
La cara B - B-side
El sencillo - single
Inédito - unreleased
Irse de gira - to go on tour
Los cascos - headphones
Sacar - to put out (a record, single, etc.)
I know there are eleven, but I wanted to include all of them, so you'll just have to suffer through one more. Or you don't have to read it. Whatever you like.
