How To Make Bubble Skirt Tutorial

Rock in Spanish, 2008. Some lists.

Yes, I know, the picture that heads this post is horrible and betrays my no talent for combining colors. But, hell!, I felt that something must make way and I can not figure a better idea to use the paint, and committing such visual swinishness. Anyway.

Well, this year, with regard to rock in English, has given us some unforgettable albums others, not many, to forget. I would have liked to review each of the sound works that passed through my hands (and ears), but due to lack of time, laziness, the lack of enthusiasm and a long list, I have not done. However, I promise that 2009 will try to keep up on the circumstances, and try to give an occasional word productions they deserve.

First, I want to talk about the rock of my country, Peru. Amid a flurry of publications record, which sometimes features more enthusiasm than talent, there have been three albums that caught my attention. And are: Queen Pastrula

- Rafo Ráez
already commented, so I will not say much about it. It is a great album. One of the best he has done Rafo. Listening is almost as mandatory for the music lover like smoking a good herb for the addict.

not save yourself - Hair Madueño
I do not have much faith in hair. Although league dream made notable songs, their albums were too irregular. His first solo production seemed mediocre. So I thought it would only be Madueño remembered for his participation in Narcosis. But wow, I was wrong. Do not save yourself a good job. With an intimate atmosphere, Hair has wonderful pieces. I hope to save yourself is not the first brick in building a solid and attractive work.

Today more than yesterday - Catervas
Although it has gone a bit unnoticed by the media, today more than ever is an album that deserves a wide circulation, it enjoys a very high quality. I'm surprised that, despite the youth of the musicians Catervas, they are able to draw teen-themed lyrics, but with well crafted melodies and, above all, a restraint or mild relaxation that invites contemplation.

Although not exactly rock, I would also indicate the excellent work on your hard Bareto Cumbia, which, incidentally, has received a positive review in this blog.

However, in regard to what is done in other places where people speak English, I note that some countries have very active rock, which, for that reason, have led to considerable quality discs. Enter these countries, we have to Argentina, Mexico and Spain. Unfortunately, until very recently, there was much exchange of experiences and work among the rock groups from these places. However, thanks to blogs, which you can download all kinds of discs, and English latinoamaericanos we are hearing (and knowing) more easily. And this is good news.

Well, then, without any order hierarchy, list the foreign disks that I think the most important this year to be:

Reptilectric - Zoé

Ronroneando - Mr Chinarro

The manifest disaster - Nacho Vegas

Extended Solar - Moenia

One morning - Luis Alberto Spineta

light rhythm - Los Fabulosos Cadillacs

Smoke and Mirrors - The dwarf nun

Unplugged - Julieta Venegas

45 - Jaguars

I do not know if Buenos Aires or Madrid - Fito Paez

Macho de monte suit - Cienfue

Your upper lip - Christina Rosenvinge

Babasónicos - Much
River
folder - Aterciopelados

Airbag - Alto disk

I hope that if things go well, you can type in the months following some statements about these works, which, some more than others, I recommend listening pleasure as objects .

However, in regard to written publications (in both the conventional and digital mode) related to the rock, I think those who have excelled indicated: Excellent
69

Peruvian magazine displaying feather truly talented. Some of his texts are not only well written, but are even literary gems. Another interesting detail: there is a sly humor that runs through the season and to make exquisite. Freak out


Although not let me write in this magazine-which caused me some discomfort that I put out beer and rock-and respect its quality and I recommend it as required reading for any music lover. I should note that his strong point is its review of records. Mr Chicken


blog that specializes in rock of the peninsula and, with great discretion, make good recommendations.


tibu Blog at dawn collecting Peruvian rock productions of decades past. The interesting thing about this blog is that sometimes hangs albums from other musical genres, showing an open musical taste different manifestations. You will hear

Blog
masked to which I have to thank a thousand times for the hundreds of albums I've gotten from them. The daily review of this blog is an absolute necessity for any lover of good music.

Regarding the most moving and happy indeed linked to the rock, is the fall and improving Charly García. I know that for many (who usually only know the musician for his tantrums or the refrain "I'm green") Charly García is unbearable. But to me that Argentina is a musical genius, and above all, is the author of the soundtrack of my adolescence and distant. Their songs are my sentimental education that forever be grateful. Hopefully, then, that Charly health continue to keep creating songs with such feature that I love: tender, melancholic and emotional.

Well, to close this account, it only remains to name the most attractive list: that of the worst albums of the year. And the winners are:

Helville De Luxe - Bunbury
I've dedicated a post, and therefore not calificaré more than two words: lamentable fiasco.

stage fright - Beto Cuevas
This record is so bad that, after listening stoically a dozen of times, I said: "I hope Bob is a victim of stage fright and never again sing or write anymore."



*** I arrived at the end. I wish, dear reader / listener, this list is a sort of invitation to try to get the disks mentioned. Well that is the goal of this blog: to generate interest or curiosity about the great rock in English. And I hope, at least minimally, to have taken hold on you.

Happy New Year.

Yesterday I saw the president cumbia dancing in front of Government House .

And I began to wonder: do we really have been so bad to vote for Humala?

say, so to speak.

Drinking Age Barcelona 2011

I say why not say

"only needed a toast: to Arturo
the bohemian
pure-hearted and big head
He stated that without Ambassy
only
ambition ... steal inspiration to sadness " (*)

And what speak in your blog?
do not mean anything. Just write.
But what you write, then?
anything. Anything and everything. Say you do not follow a predefined topic. I do not want to. I do not want to be a political blog that makes me tired politics and because they are always gurus, I will not be a law blog that depresses me right, I do not want to be a sports blog that that I have it in another side. I just want ... writing.
Puta, I think that until the cheese. If you do not communicate something, then do not write, just babble. If you're not going to play a particular topic is as if you did not do anything, just are in the cargamontón. You are one more steeped in mediocrity.
What happens is that maybe you can not understand that what I need and get the simple pleasure of writing. I mean, I do not want to be a reference of opinion or anything like that. What I want is to write. The blog is my block of notes. And I have it because I was born from eggs that my block of notes is a blog. And if you do not like, then do not leas.Aparte, I have to get me to talk about music or politics just because some people would seem that if you have a blog and do not speak four nonsense as if you were a connoisseur, actually you are losing time.

...

If.

I just want to write. When the left and right agree and head to the keyboard, writing alone. I do not know if it is a force somewhere down key but ... that good I feel. In my way, my only ambition is totally ethereal, and it seems that it is also, only, inspiration to steal things.

So you can call me Arthur "if you please and you can go to hell with your comments.

say, so to speak.

How To A Weave With A Bang

Disco: Queen Pastrula (2008)

Soloist: Rafo Ráez (Peru)
There
a terrible problem in Peru with respect to current rock. And that problem is ignorance. If you, dear reader / listener, you stop at Jiron de la Union, a pedestrian street where hundreds pass or, rather, thousands of individuals per hour, and questions at first unaware, as a sociological institution pollster, the best young Peruvian rock, it is likely that the interviewee, very loose bone and the security of who sets out an irrefutable truth, say: Gianmarco or at best, Pedro Suarez Vertiz. Why is this happening? Why should so few possibilities for answers? And, finally, what is the reason why we, the Peruvians have a taste as doubtful, to say the least? As well, in my opinion, the main culprits are the media, which reduces the musical choices to a handful of perpetrators of crap sound, and, acting in the manner of the worst dictators, cast into oblivion or into exile to the real talents accusing the underground, difficult or even unpleasant. Why communicators take the privilege of choosing from the masses? Why not act more transparently and distribute all the cards in the game-that is, each and every one of the paths used by different musicians, and wait for the public, guided for mere intuition or aesthetic preference, choose the hand that will be discussed in the world of musical preferences? I do not know. May have economic interests behind. Maybe (which is most likely) have just plain stupidity on their heads. And then this nonsense that keeps in perpetual ignorance to the public which, hopefully in the supposed good initiative from the media, choose only from what is offered them, and believe in a kind of cultural blindness that the world contemporary rock is so basic and grotesque as the aforementioned offering and Pedro Suarez Vertiz Gianmarco.

But you, dear reader / listener I wonder then: what are the other alternatives in the current Peruvian rock? Well I'll tell you that for a long stretch of time, it is no secret under unbroken key, but still fails the explosion of popularity and recognition his work deserves. And the artist in question is Rafo Ráez.

Rafo is true that no work has a consistent quality. In its constant search for new sounds, sometimes dropped in the dark pit of failed disk. An example of this is his penultimate work, Chasqui Change, in which, for trying to master the keys, designed songs that skirt the abyss of horrible. However, if we do the addition and subtraction, we get a result positive in regard to what was done by Ráez. This has been the architect of record as round as Suicide of 16, The Madman and the Dirty, Mud Fish (co-authored with the splendid poet José Watanabe), and this summit is the gift melodious.

Rafo But the best is not alone in the past. Well, in line with the above records, a few weeks ago released the Pastrula Queen, who, no doubt, is one of the best products of the year not only in Peru but also throughout the English-speaking world .

With an unprecedented sounds, ranging from the playful to the lawless and violent, and go through the tender, raving and reflective Ráez has composed a mix of melodies and rhythms that come, at times, and a bewildering flow at peak of genius rarely found in our sound habitat. And I repeat: I am not talking about the perfectly simple and talented. I note, without any hyperbole involved, which La Reina Pastrula Rafo bordering on exceptional. And this, esteemed reader / listener should be celebrated with palms, liquor and lots of rock and roll.

But let's get the details.

parts Pastrula Queen are like jewels in a box of chocolate, choose the one that always picked you'll get the jackpot. Underline first the instrumental: King Kong Palace and Fire. King Kong Palace is a jazz composition and attempts a gangster and solemn atmosphere between between celebratory and melancholy. Fire, on the other hand, is Andean winds (more precisely, Ayacucho) and closely resembles a minefield of Hearts, an electric guitar riffs in Rafo presented Suicide 16. Fire, which is a morbid sadness, plunges the listener into the plain unfathomable loneliness. It seems to me like a gun trigger depression. In R. Pastrula there is also reflection on the national. This is in White and Red, which, aligning different vocal layers, the voice says, 'I'm Peruvian / red, white, red / passion, calm, passion. This, then, a beautiful analogy between the colors of the flag and the characteristics of the Peruvian. My Gordita find joy and good humor, connected with a dance beat that would delight any regular at club or other place of entertainment. He says the lyrics: I love her and want to eat / I love her and I have / always close to mine for fornication / near me always to talk. Funny, right? For romantics, Ráez Lovers Fire plays with power, thanks to tension syncopated guitar and drums, draw very sensual impulses that dominate the love and the push concretions the wildest dreams of pleasure. Ráez says: You want to kiss / you want to drink / you want to think / lovers Fire / are given one to one / there are one to two. The couple pursued an impossible unity until, in the disordered and demented way, reach extinction offered crackling flames. And the genius? Where's the genius? If this wish, dear reader / listener, as I invite you to pay attention to Gardener Village. In a beautiful crescendo, this song seems aimed to penetrate the soul of the listener and dominate for a few minutes until he recalled the Platonic world of ideas. Gardener Village is the vicissitudes sumun Music Ráez this disk, then, with a simplicity that moves and disturbs, makes a speech lyrical confused and wonder as the dream of thrilling romp opium or soft after the perfect love. A breakdown of the lyrics: Village Gardener is clearly the thing / the spine is the sister of the rose / is not a sacrifice / the earth is dying / will be a real gardener / if I die.

you continue, then, dear reader / listener, preferring or Pedro Suarez Vertiz Gianmarco? Will you continue to believe that the rock is limited as indicated by our communicators obtuse (for the others, the intelligent, there are also, but, unfortunately, are few and endangered)? Will you think that Pedro Suarez Vertiz is our Bob Dylan, as James once said that excellent Bayli-political journalist, but bad and worse writer, art critic? Please I hope you change your mind and give it a chance Rafo Ráez, who, surely, will not disappoint you and that after appreciate it, will not consider in any way as our national Bob Dylan, but proud and definitely as our one and only Rafo Ráez.
