A country?


Well, the question: where country you'd like to visit? has killed me. There are a lot of countries that I’d love to visit for different reasons each one, that I can´t just puck one, so I will mention all the countries and the reason because I´d like to visit it, here we go:

Brazil: I´d like to visit Brazil because it diverse gastronomy, ethylic culture, the samba, how everything is party, the people is strangely happy.    

Russia: I like their vodka, and it has the most beautiful woman in the world.

England: I love their musical culture, I dream with the idea of going to one of all the music festival that take place in England, like Glastonbury festival, and of course I love whiskey.

Spain: It is an artistic country and I like it. Also it have a good clime, good beaches, it has a great history, and a very good wine and beer.

Greece: Very interesting country by his ancient culture and it good gastronomy.

Cuba: It has good beaches, very good ron, and a very good clime (on summer), I like the idea of going to a discotheque and dance salsa or cumbia.

Argentina: I´d like the underground musical scene from Argentina, I’d like to listen it personally.

Germany: I´d like to go to the original Octoberfest, the mother of all the Octoberfests.

China: I´d like to know it millennial culture, millennial gastronomy, millennial art (you got the idea), also China has very beautiful natural places, and of course that I like to walk across the Chinese wall.

E.E.U.U.: It looks like a funny place, with funny festivals and good music.

Ok, there are a lot of more countries but it will take a lot of time and honestly I’m tired.

Me+London

Hi fellas! What would i do if i were to London? possibly no big thing, i´d like to walk by the streets , go to the Emirates stadium to see an Arsenal match hopefully with the Manchester United or the Liverpool, visit the London eye, the Big Beng, go to a bar and drink some whiskeys, get lost on the Underground that is something that i probably wouldn´t like but sure it will happen, take a trip on a big red bus and sitting on the second floor, make a prank call on his red telephones, go boating in the Thames, visit old buildings with a lot of history, maybe watch a rock show (or a lot of them) in a famous pub, take an english breakfast by dinner, visit the royal palace and make fun of the guards, visit a candy store because the candy and the chocolate taste different there (or people says that), go picnic in a park like Mr. Bean, play a football match with english people and win (probably). I´d like to do the most of these things with my friends Gabierto, Joakokos, Pipene, Piperuano, Raul, Matigato, Mati, Guidios, i mean my friends and my brother.

Android Paranoid


Hi everyone!
I must say that at the moment I fell in love with two songs. The first one, and my favorite at the time, it’s called Android Paranoid and it’s by Radiohead, I don’t remember when I listened it for first time, but it was like many years ago, but lately I took a great taste for this song. The genre is alternative rock, and I like it because the melody is great, the rhythm’s changes are sublime, it starts soft, and then it goes like strong to back to soft and finish strong.

The other song I like at the moment is called She Look To Me, and it’s played by Red Hot Chili Peppers. I listened like a month ago and then I decided that I had to play it with my bass. I don’t know why I like it, but I think that is because it’s a very melodic song. It is an alternative rock song that belongs to the Stadium Arcadium album. I has never listened this complete album because it’s have 28 songs, so takes an entire afternoon to listen it entire, because of that I still discovering its songs until today.


This is Android Paranoid by Radiohead
 
 
 
If you like reggae, this is a version you will like!
 
 
And last but not least, She look to me by RHCP

The Best Bass Player From YouTube

Hi everyone!

Today I’d like to tell you about one person I admire so much, his name is David, he lives in Switzerland and he is a big bass player (the best) from youtube, he makes videos of himself playing a great diversity of funky songs and rock songs. He started by playing covers of Red Hot Chili Peppers, then he went playing covers from others bands, and now he has his own funky band. He is fast and he has a great technique, his playing way is clean (he don’t make big or many mistakes). Also, he feels the music. I have seen many bass players that don’t enjoy the music they play, they only play the bass like for competition or for presume their skills, but no because they like it, but no David, he plays because he like it, not to presume.


Time ago I needed to learn some bass lines from different songs, so I watched David’s videos and I did practiced every day by looking at those videos. That way I became a better bassist. So I admire this guy because when he started he wasn’t different from others beginners, but now he plays and he is like no other (on YouTube), I definitely want to be like him. 

Take a look of his work!

Myths and Legends


 
 
 
 
Hi everyone!

 
Today I’m going to talk to you about a card game called Myths and Legends. I don’t remember when I learned to play it, but I was like ten or eleven years old, or maybe twelve, I don’t know. I played Myths and Legends the most of the times with friends and cousins, and that is why I liked that much, because it was an excuse to meet these guys, and meet new people, and it help to enjoy the basic school. The game is great, you have to use your brain if you want to defeat your adversary, also if you do not have good cards your chances of win are lows, but the most important is have good luck, because without luck you will never take the card you need. The last time I played this game, it was against my younger cousin Diego, and he smashed me, only because I was out of practice. Here i left you some cards that i liked.

Playa Las Docas



 

Dear Chipamoglis

The beach that you see in this picture it’s called Las Docas, in reference to a flower called like that which grows up in that place. This beach is very closer to Laguna Verde, a little coastline town in the fifth region of Chile in which my aunt Gloria have a cabin. Las Docas is an Ensenada with a head nip that refracts the marine currents making them less strong, which makes the beach a quiet place to swim in the water. I went to that beach for last time like five years ago, and I went with my brother, two of my six aunts, and three cousins, it was a nice trip. That day we walked across the beach, we swimed all the evening, after that we sited down and spend the afternoon taking sun and talking. I like that beach because it’s a very quiet place, with no much people going there, so its a kind of secret beach.

The Day i Saw My Favourite Band



September 16 of 2011was the day, 20:00 was the hour (with a little of late) Red Hot Chili Peppers was the band. That was the only concert of RHCP that i has went in all my life, it was in Estadio Monumental, Santiago, house of the best Chilean football team: Colo-Colo. I went with my best friend Joaquin and my non-that-much friend Matias, we also invited our friend Gabierto, but his money get robbery, so he didn´t went. The show was great, it start with the opening band of the day, the chilean funky band Chancho en Piedra. They made an excellent show full of energy and good vibre. After his show and ended really tired, that tired that i asked myself if i can really go on. Then the second band of the afternoon went out: FOALS. A very hipster band that didn't make it. That was them first show in Chile, and i am pretty sure that they are good, no excellent, no very good, but good. So when they went out to scene, people was very energized by the Chanchos, so they were expecting something like that, but FOALS are a quiet band with a quiet and deep sound, and people started desespering to see the Red Hots, so FOALS didn't stay for much longer.
Then the Red Hot get at the stage, and the whole show was great an unforgetable, except for the part that they didn't play the song Snow (hey oh), one of their bests songs. With my friends will always remember that day.
