De ahora en Adelante: The Fruit Bats - Tegucigalpa

No me culpen, pero ya hace ratos que no ando con muchas ganas de escribir en mi blog. Pues desde que estoy en Finlandia me parece mucho trabajo pasarla poniendolos al tanto de el mundo de la musica. Pues creo que de ahora en adelante solo posteare algunos videos, canciones que me parece buena idea compartir. El dia de hoy les traigo una grata sorpresa que encontre en la revista Mojo, en un anuncio de la revista Mojo, en la que hacian un review de una banda llamada Fruit Bats, y que entre los highlights de su nuevo disco "The Ruminant Band", sobresalia la cancion "Tegucigalpa". Logicamente me llamo la atencion que una banda le diera por hacer una cancion de mi ciudad de origen, aunque seguramente solo buscaron un nombre raro en el atlas (Holiday in Cambodia anyone?). Pues me ha costado encontrar las letras en el internet y la voz mielosa del cantante no ayuda a su facil comprension, pero habla que nacio en Tegus el unico dia que nevo, y que se arruinaron nuestras yucas . . . maldito ignorante el que escribio esta cancion, pero me parecia curioso poder exparsila a ver si tiene aceptacion.

The Fruit Bats - Tegucigalpa



I was born in Tegucigalpa the only day it ever snowed there
Was a frozen wave that killed the yucca and the Adam's fig
I always seem to bring the cold anywhere I ever go
That's just the way it's always gonna be

My family moved us ever northward up to the terra borealis
Along the crooked pikes of the ruminants and voyageurs
But my heart belongs to the smoke of Hamilton and Monongahela
And all the dirty cities along the way

But you know they all lied to you
Them there with the spider eyes
It'll always keep you warm
It'll always treat you nice

I was floated in just this morning
Woke up a thousand miles from nowhere
I'm a broke-legged paint in a herd of unicorns y'know
I always seem to bring the gray skies every time I ever fly
From all the dirty cities along the way

But you know they all lied to you
These folks with the spider eyes
I'll always keep you warm
I'll always treat you nice

I'll never snow on your parade
I'll never bring a cloudy day

Thank you all so very much you crossers of the many time zones
But I'm heading back to the place that makes sense to me
'Cause my heart belongs to the snows of Buffalo and Chicago
And all the dirty cities along the way

Hey Feliz 2009 para todos. Este año promete grandes cosas y ojala mi blog siga creciendo. Me he ausento por vacaciones de las cuales les hablare en los proximos dias, aparte he quedado en decuda con las mejores canciones de 2008 y lo que se viene para este año. Por ahora los dejare con este post que hice en la pagina jamsbio, un cuento inspirado o mas bien, adaptado de la cancion "for no one" de los Beatles y su album Revolver. If life is a mysterious code hard to break, than love must be impossible. From ages and ages, men have managed to overcome massive primitive beasts, bone-chilling ice-ages and war and diseases. But somehow, women are still our greatest weakness. One day, they are hugging each other, making plans on their future lives and telling each other how much they love and will ever do their significnat other. Everything smells and tastes good, but suddenly, evening arrives and the young couple is left with no other choice than to head home, lock up in their bedr...

Some Little Nonsense

Here I just share with you a nonsense short story inspired by the album Une éclipse totale de soleil, by french artist Ghédalia Tazartès: I can't really remember why I had always wanted to come to Morocco. Actually I do, I just thought ignorance would definetely do a better starting line. Starting lines are quite important, manage to miss with your opening statement, and your reader would already be looking for reasons to call your story boring, or a cure for insomnia. But insomnia has nothing to do with my reasons for me coming to this country, nor does any classic film with Humprhey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. It actually all goes back to my last visit to the United States, when I tried to visit all that Epcot Center had to offer, and out of what I was able to see, the Moroccan representation was the one which left a bigger impact on me. The music, the architecture, and specially that funny hat just seemed to call me. Anyways, when I finally got to Europe, I realized I was quite c...

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time Revisited: Sgt Peppers and the Lonely Hearts Club Band

Imagen
Yes, I am a music lover, what they call an audiophile. So about a year ago, on my Christmas vacation to Panama, I chose to give mysled a present, “Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time”. I can’t say that I’ve read much of this bookduring this year, so I have decided to listen to each of the albums on this list and make a review about each of them. How crazy am I? I don’t think that much, since I predict myself not to surpass album # 10. So I am bound to start with The Beatles and Sgt. Peppers, a number one position many might disagree. I must start by saying that this is not my favorite album. This is not even my favorite Beatles album. In fact, before this project, I hadn’t been able to carefully fully hear this album . Rubber Soul influenced Pet Sounds. Pet Sounds influenced Sgt Peppers, and what has Sgt Peppers inspired? Pretty much, everything afterwards. The moment you see such an elaborate album cove, you know you are up to something special. This photograph of the Beat...
