I've been thinking of doing this for the past year and so here's a special album I put together, of 10 (12 actually shhh) really cool alternate versions that didn't make it to the official albums - there's some surprises in there too! I did my best to vary what kinds of songs are on there, factoring in some of people's favourites and mine too <3 I kept it to 10/12 mostly because of my limited timeframe, I can always add more later!

Track rundown (spoilers!):
Cuando Me Voy - the 2x60 version is an icon and she is the moment. changes made: removed noise from either side of the clip, mixed in the ending from another performance because this one got cut off by applause, and mastered.
Habla Si Puedes - changes made: mixed the chorus and bridge with tini into the original full-length one, made the original volume difference between the intro and the rest of the track smaller.
Juntos Somos Más - changes made: removed the section with diego and marco's interruption and mixed in the first part of the first verse instead, removed noise either side, mastered.
Invencibles - I really want to do the acoustic version with Cami and Nati too at some point! changes made: There isn't a full version anywhere of this version without a heinous amount of interruptions so I used the original Rock Bones track as a base, and mixed in Nati and Ludmi's parts, then mastered it.
Hoy Somos Más - i was thinking about soy luna's siempre juntos group version and was sad we didn't get an official one for this (yet... we're getting a cast rerecording it seems!) changes made: Mixed in the heartbeat sound from the original Hoy Somos Más, and mastered.
Veo Veo - I'm so sad we never got a full version of this, i debated not including it bc it's so short but it's too iconic changes made: noise either side removed, a little bit of noise reduction, and mastered
Abrázame Y Verás - This was probably the most time consuming track of all of them omg but the acoustic version is so mf good changes made: had to do a lot of noise reduction, as well as cutting out the annoying ending en gira bit that all the s3 clips have, mixed the two separate versions and tried to have a semi-natural transition. mastered.
Verte De Lejos - I was gonna have it be tomas and león but they literally already have the guitar version together what's the point? plus i like the symbolism of these two singing it...<3 changes made: noise reduction and clipping and mastering, an attempt was made yet again at a semi-natural transition between the two keys. i cannot stress enough i am not a sound engineer omg
Yo Soy Así - for my diecesca and marciego shippers :) also his voice sounds so good and I love the way he alters how he sings it for marco and fran changes made: only a little bit of noise reduction bc i like the relaxed outdoor vibe and sound of this acoustic, two clips mixed and mastered!
Entre Tú Y Yo - an underrated gem and i rate the tension when they sing it ngl changes made: literally only needed to cut noise from either side and master! amen
given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
it's extremely funny reading historical accounts of Spontaneous Human Combustion because it follows the normal historical trend of other 1800s paranormal phenomena where it stopped happening as much right around the time cameras were invented and stopped happening entirely when everyone started carrying mini cameras in their pockets, but unlike most others of its ilk, it was effectively replaced by this mysterious phenomena where alocoholics would spill liqour on themselves and then fall asleep smoking a cigarette and turn into a fireball. nobody knows if these two things are related
undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal
This is called a fault tree. You will always know how to act if your fault tree captures all possible scenarios. In NASA Mission Control during mission critical events like landings there are huge binders with fault tree protocols, kind of like choose your own adventure books except you’re not the one making the choices, the universe is making them for you and you’re just trying to keep up.
The engineers who develop fault trees, I am told, often imagine new ways for their precious spacecraft to die (new branches on the fault trees) either while in the shower or lying awake at 3am, because human
Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I don’t get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably don’t have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.
