Music for Life!



Hi all

Well, as we all believe that music is central to my life. There are always songs, lyrics or melodies that interpret how you feel. I like many types of music, and of course very dependent on mood and context. The music is the best for all moments of life... =)

My favorite band is “Los Prisioneros”, but as I did a post about them, so I'll talk about a band I am glad that my spirits up and reminds me fifteen.

They are Millencolin, is a Swedish band, hardcore punk ... but more mellow ... is music to skateboarding, to forget everything, for me are like an injection of energy. They have recorded 9 studio albums and have other compilations. My favorite album is "Pennybridge Pioneers" which launched in 2000.
They come twice to Chile, and this year come back to celebrate 10 years of record that I like! ... The problem is money.... This end of the year because there are many more concerts and my pocket not resist ... = P
The best thing is listening to remember those school days, when everything was more simple ... where there was more time for friends to talk about life ... without becoming bitter as now = P. .. I encourage bus travel, waiting and fomes or sad moments in life =)

Finally, I leave some songs of Pennybridge Pioneers... =)

Salute

What to do where to go in Santiago


What to do where to go in Santiago after the Bicentenario weekend
There’s a place that I like so much… It’s Bio-Bio’s “persa” There’re too many things… about what you want. Music; any cd's, vinyls, posters, equipment, old players ... Movies, originals and pirates ... Everything for your pc ... Antique furniture, assorted clothing, cheap books, video games, paintings, appliances, Arab sweets... in short, everything ... useful and useless things =)
I know this place since I was a child… I lived near “Barrio Franklin” and my dad used to take me on Sundays, I remember eating winter ice creams and he was digging through piles of books in search of treasure ... a good book and a ridiculous cost. There are several sellers who don't really know what they are selling ... They only put a price depending on how you see the book or its thickness.

The best time to go is before lunch, at about 11, before it is difficult to find shops open... you can even eat there, there are good eateries (“cocinerías”) and lots of barbecue everywhere ... “fritanga” on all corners =) it's open until 16 hrs approx.
It’s said that is an unsafe place… In general it’s not, obviosuly you have to take guards… having your things near and regulary watch it.

It is not advisable to go the end of the month, it's full of people and in general there are more thieves ... because although it has reduced the illegal trade is still one of the main places to reduce stolen species.
But I’ve always been there and never had a problem… Some products are defective, but I could change them. It is a great place to go for a walk, there’re everything. Musicians, poets, street performers and celebrities. It is very picturesque.
The easiest way to get there is by Metro (Franklin Station – Line 2) Saturdays and Sundays

Bicentennial: Nothing to celebrate

Well, I don’t think it’s a time to a celebrate… The first meeting of government doesn’t generate pride in me… I don’t feel any special thing with this date because it really is a milestone but far to Independence… real Independence…
That's it ... I understand the strategy of the date, because if it was in February because it would be bored on vacation ... but, there are always reasons for make a party ...

I think I'll go to “Ventanas”, to my grandparent’s house, I hope rest these four days ... because since February that I have’nt had a break .. There he meets most of my father’s family… and there’re varied menus for every day ...

In general, there are empanadas, roast, cocimiento, and others delicious dishes… Is a good time to fatten! =P

I just like the date they are almost holiday and people are more cheerful than the rest of the year ... People are willing to spend much money to eat and have fun ... is a time of distention ... but it is unfair that all should come down when prices go up by increased demand ... once again... the market does’nt work ... XD

I call on the date to discuss what has been done as a country..and advance to have real reason to celebrate as a country =)
