The Birthday Party

Hace algunas revistas Mojo, talvez en la edicion de Julio o Agosto, es que en la seccion de "Yesterday Night an Album Chnged My lLife" incluia una memoria de J.Macis, la mente detras de Dinosaur Jr. sobre el disco que cambio su vida, el EP de the Birthday Party. The Birthday Party fueron una banda de Post-Punk Australiano, que era liderada por Nick Cave, quien luego obtendria mayor reconocimiento como director de cine y con la banda NIck Cave & teh Bad Seeds. NO recuerdo exactamente cual seria el disco que alababa J. MAscis, pero me parece que era el Hee Haw EP, y pues la verdad me fue dificil encontrar musica de esta rara banda, asi que primero me di cuenta que su nombre partia de una play escrita por Harold Pinter y unos dias despues me tope con ella en la biblioteca, lei un poco pues tenia que esperar, el primer acto a decir vrd, y hace un par de dias que la saque, y la lei desde el principio. Muy interesante, siempre me ha gustado leer las obras, mas que todo en voz alta, tratando de imaginarme actuandolas, Esto me ha hecho recordar que tambien soy un actor frustrado, en resumen, soy un artista frustrado, musica, pintura,cine, escritura, actuacion, nombrenlo y estoy frustrado por no poderlo hacerlo, jajaja. Solo me falta meterme a esculpir y a bailar, pero bueno, al menos leyendo y escribiendo me contento.
Pues recien hoy que me econtre con esta cancion de The Birthday Party en Last.fm y me parece que es dificil de digerir, pero va de acuerdo a una obra que tambien termina dejando muchas preguntas y un mal sabor de boca. Es una leida rapida, que recomendaria si se les llega a cruzar en el camino.

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...
