(Continued from “His gift to Her”)

“You are MINE!”

The prophecy has come to pass…

~

The news of his selection has been announced

His most trusted messengers have been sent to bring word

The Lords of his five regions begin their required  journey

They come to pay homage and honor their sacred union

He will honor them with the showing of his choice

She must prepare herself for the presentation

The celebration of a new beginning

~

The passing of the days are quick

She is overwhelmed that the moment has arrived

He will be coming soon to make ready his new prize

Her nervousness begins to grow with each passing moment

As he enters her chamber, he senses her distress

“What troubles you my pet” he softly inquires

“Nothing my Lord” she timidly replies

Without warning, he pulls her to him with fire in his eyes

Holding tightly to her hair, he commands…

“When I ask you your thought, you will not deny me”

“Always remember that you are Mine…” he orders

“I will always be here to protect you”

“Yes my Lord” she trembles… “I will do as you say…”

“What am I to do with you?” he asks

“I must be punished my Lord” she timidly replies

His look tells her that he is eager to confirm her suspicion

~

He takes hold of her with a rough but careful motion

Her breath begins to quicken

Bending her across the bed face down he proceeds to strip her of her clothes

“Are you ready” he calls to her

“Y-yes my Lord” she answers with caution

Crack! His hand meets her tighten skin

She is shaken by the sharpness of his touch

Crack! Crack! His pace quickens growing sharper

Her pain begins to fade… She has turned it into anticipation

Crack! “Thank you my Lord” she calls out

Feeling her wetness growing his hand becomes gentle

Leaning down to her he whispers

“You have done well my pet.. You are ready…”

~

He gently pulls her to him, holding her tightly to his chest

“You belong to me… I will always care for you” he assures her

“Thank you my Lord… I need you to guide me”

Taking her hand, he pulls her to her feet

Slowly caressing her body he speaks “Prepare yourself”

He has chosen her garments “I want you to look your best”

“I am here to serve you my Lord” she proudly replies

He silently departs the room taking his place in the Great Hall

His guest are eagerly awaiting her arrival

The sudden sounds of  royal horns announces her arrival

She takes her place beside her Lord

The celebration begins…

Being sick, for a vocalist, really sux ass! I have been up and down for over a month now, and yes I am going to the doc on Friday to get some antibiotics….. Anyway, Steven and I sat down and went through all the Welsh/Celtic tunes and the originals on guitar and percussion. It was pretty cool! That was the first time I have ever just sat down with a drummer like that! It’s a very cool sound and it keeps me honest on my tempo. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee! I only have to lock down my rhythm pattern on Dac’w Nghariad and finish the structure on Greensleeves and other than regular rehearsals before the gig on Saturday I am almost ready, if only my voice would cooperate. I can take being sick, what I can’t take is this damn laryngitis! Other than that we added 3 new songs to the list as of last night, “It’s A Long Way to the Top” by AC/DC, “Taking Care of Business” by BTO and “I Am the Highway” by Audioslave.  3 good song choices and that means I get to take a couple off the set list that we are tired of doing. So, “After Midnight” is gone and possibly “Boardwalk” I am kind of on the fence with that one because it is still a crowd pleaser. With that I leave you with Audioslave….enjoy…..

• Audioslave melancholy (trinaenriquez.wordpress.com)

We are ready to move on and our list of new songs for next week are “It’s a Long Way to the Top” by AC/DC, “Smooth” by Santana, “Sunshine of Your Love” by Cream and “I Am the Highway” by Audioslave. When we pick songs we always try to do it democratically, in other words, everyone throws their choices in the hat and we pick and choose from everyone’s choices. I am at this point where I am trying to avoid slow songs because we have too many. So the deal is if the guys come up with slow songs we have to dump one of the other slow songs off the list, which is perfectly ok with me because there are a few I would like to see go bye-bye. 

I haven’t had as much time to work on the acoustic project as I would have liked. I have to really get on it next week. I have added a new song to the acoustic set list called “Love My Way‘ by the Psychedelic Furs. I woke up the other day with that song playing in my head and I have always loved it. I found a cool acoustic version on Youtube and with that I leave you with :Love My Way”….

These conversations would inspire ideas when working on the revival of Star Trek, ideas for a new television show we named “The Big Bang Theory”, Kurt Cobain deciding to name the band “Hole”, and me writing the songs “Supermassive Black Hole” recorded by the band I named  Muse, as well as ”Black Hole Sun“ recorded by  Soundgarden.

I first met Chris Cornell with Kurt, who offered me to him.  This was not unusual for Kurt or even Joe Elliott to act as a pimp, who I found were offering me to artists in exchange for promotion by the founder of Island Records and others who wished to keep me quiet and take their revenge.   I even briefly woke from the drugged stupor to hear a man talking to Kurt and say, “I hope Chris (Blackwell) appreciates this.”

Fortunately, Cornell turned Kurt down on his offer, but others did not and includes Tommy Lee of Motley Crue, the lead singer and a guitarist for Creed, and many others.  This is also why Scott Stapp, with Kid Rock, and Tommy Lee agreed to release of a fake “sex tape”.  There was a reason, since I knew the “particulars” about their privates, for example Tommy Lee’s extremely large member.  I am surprised Mark Tremonti of Creed also did not partipate in the “sex tape” considering the fact that I know he is even larger than Tommy Lee.  Scott and Kid Rock’s sex tape also has Scott repeating a line from “Titanic” which was inspired by Muhammad Ali which I worked on with Michael Jackson.

This same meeting with Cornell, Kurt asked him at some point to temporarily disband Soundgarden for a new band named Audioslave to also record songs I was writing.  Cornell would also be asked to record a new theme song I wrote for the James Bond film Casino Royale (2006), “You Know My Name.”

For the 1989 album Louder Than Love I wrote the song ”Hands All Over“.

I named the 1991 album Badmotorfinger inspired by the band Badfinger who were signed to The Beatles’ Apple label the year I was born, 1968.  John Lennon wanted to call the band “Glass Onion”, but no one liked the name. Lennon later used the name for one of his songs on the White Album.  Instead, The Iveys chose another Beatles-inspired moniker: “Badfinger.” This was a reference to “Badfinger Boogie”, an early working title of “With a Little Help from My Friends,” from “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”  For this album, I wrote the song ”Outshined“.

For the 1994 album Superunknown  I wrote the songs ”Spoonman“, “The Day I Tried to Live“, “My Wave“, “Fell on Black Days“.  Before a street artist in Seattle was hired to become the “inspiration” behind the song “Spoonman” there were many performers I would watch as a kid on television playing unusual instruments, such on Hee Haw, The Gong Show or The Barbara Mandrell Show in the 70′s, and one was a spoonman.

In fact, it was Hee Haw’s “The Gossip Girls”, musical pieces featuring various female members of the cast surrounding a washtub and clothes wringer, that inspired us to work on ideas for a “novel series” to television show named Gossip Girl.

The Beatles always being an inspiration to me, especially while writing ”Blow Up the Outside World” released on the 1996 Down on the Upside album.  The composition of the song started with a mash up of  “Strawberry Fields Forever” and  ’I Am the Walrus‘ but with a slower tempo.  On the same album I also wrote “Pretty Noose” inspired by Trent Reznor calling me “Pretty Hate Machine”, “Burden in My Hand“.

Someone else wrote the song “Ty Cobb” which was inspired by the Major League baseball player’s nickname of “The Georgia Peach“.  With my mother being from Georgia, I made many references to her with “Peaches and Cream” in Pour Some Sugar On Me, “Peach and Black” in U Got The Look, naming the diner in Beverly Hills 90210 “The Peach Pit”, all of which also inspired Bob Geldof and Paula Yates to give their daughter the nickname “Peaches.

I would also write the song ”Live to Rise” released in 2012 and featured in the film The Avengers.

…………..AUDIOSLAVE……………

I named the band Audioslave which follows a theme from having written the songs “Slave to Love” recorded by Bryan Ferry and “I’m a Slave 4 U” recorded by Britney Spears, and Kurt Cobain deciding to name the band Alice in Chains.  For the self titled album released in 2002 I wrote the songs, “Cochise“, ”Show Me How to Live“, “Like a Stone“, “Shadow on the Sun”, Gasoline, and “I Am the Highway“.

Music has always been important to me, since a young child. Granted, when I was a child I didn’t really know what good music was but that was because I was young and naive. I mean, you wouldn’t catch me buying a Spice Girls, Britney Spears or Boyzone album in this day and age!

After a day at work there’s nothing that unwinds you more than some of your favourite music and if you’re like me and you’ve literally just been to the dentist due to a broken tooth and told that it’s going to cost over £400 to have a veneer fitted, after paying £96 for a “temporary measure” then it’s definitely music time.

I’ve talked about Chris Cornell much in the past, he is definitely my favourite artist of all time; I’ve been to see all of these bands at Leeds and random gigs such as Noel Gallagher, Limp Bizket, Blink 182, The Fray, Athlete, Muse etc etc and there are only two bands left that I haven’t seen live before, they are Goo Goo Dolls (Oh yes) and Cornell/Whatever Band He’s In At The Moment.

He started out with Soundgarden and were successful until they broke up in the mid 90s, then he did a solo album then moved on to Audioslave which is where I’d first heard of him. Since then Audioslave have broken up and Cornell has reunited with his old Soundgarden brethren. I remember buying the first Soundgarden when I realized how awesome Audioslave were and instantly became hooked. I then bought the rest of the albums and hearing that they’d reformed was great news for me. I need to keep my eye out when they’re next going to be playing in England because I’m definitely going.

As much as I love listening to the awesome sounds by both Audioslave and Soundgarden my favourite thing about them is Cornell’s voice and my favourite music is when he’s performing unplugged. Chester Bennington said he has the most beautiful voice in rock and roll and the above video solidifies that fact.

Everyone has a favourite song by their favourite artist, a song which they hold in such high regard, for me mine would have to be “I Am The Highway” which he wrote while he was apart of Audioslave, when he sings it live and without the rest of the band backing him it sounds infinitely better.

This song along with two others are songs that I usually include on every music playlist I make for the car, the first being the first single which is what introduced me to Audioslave and Chris Cornell to begin with and in my opinion it’s pretty much the best music video ever. The amount it must have cost for all the fireworks would have been considerable.

Just the fact that the beginning of the song builds, builds, builds and then literally explodes into awesomeness.

Lastly the next song that always manages to make it on the playlist is entitled “Show Me How to Live” which somehow holds a strange power over me that seems to encourage me to speed (sometimes over the speed limit *shush*). But isn’t that what car stereos are for anyway? Before I come to a close this week there’s so many more awesome songs by Audioslave that I haven’t listed here, I could just post a long list of videos but you’d never watch them all.

If anything you should listen to “You Know My Name” which was written for one of the recent James Bond films, making Cornell the first non-English person to do so, I remember when it first came out. It’s not often Cornell gets played on the radio but when that was released it was on every five minutes and it most likely brought him a lot of new deserving fans. And of course “Sweet Euphoria” if you want to listen to something depressing but equally epic.

Until next time.

This isn’t to say Audioslave is devoid of good music—or good messages—simply that they did not fit into the area that my mind needed to shape and formulate ideas for the type of stories I was writing. If I had been writing a story about a motorcycle cowboy riding off into the desert where he finds peace in solitude among the cattle he rounds up while on the bike, maybe Audioslave would’ve fit.

They do have some good songs though, and their bassist, Tim Crommerford, has a plethora of stylistic bass knowledge. I find that their best talents came together for the short time Audioslave did exist, but at the same time, there could have been more.

Cornell’s vocals were great for the style of the band, and I find it useful sometimes when I need to set up a gritty mindset for part of a story. Audioslave is best useful for a car chase or at least a scene where there is a lot of travel at high speed. Cochise exemplifies this with its opening to their original self-titled album. Of their three albums, Audioslave sounds the most badass, but the second album exemplifies more branching out.

When it comes to inspiring lyrics, I prefer Light My Way. The song speaks to the inner artist, coaxing the muse to illuminate the path to a plot or poetical arrangement, much in the same way that the song’s narrator is asking to be led by God, Fate, or simply the universe at large. I find it helpful when a character needs to discover him/herself or get on with their lives. Along the same lines is I am the Highway. This song is more spiritual than most of their songs on the following two albums, but there is a great amount of imagery and perseverance present in the song’s lyrics. It is useful for a character who is a figurative knight or protector. The narrator describes himself as something subtly defined, and always bigger/stronger than first perceived, yet still missing someone very close, whom he must separate himself from.

As far as music goes, Audioslave doesn’t inspire me nearly as well as Dream Theater, Stone Temple Pilots, or even NIN. Nevertheless, they do have some good arrangements and the occasional song that can help with formulation within a story.

Audioslave released three albums as well as received three Grammy nominations between 2002 and 2006.  Their sound was evocative of 70’s hard rock with a healthy dose of the 90’s alternative sound.  A source of pride for the band was the fact that all sounds on their albums were produced from one of the following sources:

• Vocals
• Guitar
• Drums
• Bass

Audioslave Discography:

• Audioslave
• Out of Exile
• Revelations

Their self titled debut was released in 2002 and eventually went triple platinum and was the best selling album for the band.  The release was met with mixed reviews as some expected more based on the pedigree of the members while others heralded the band as an adrenaline shot to mainstream rock music. 

2004 saw the release of their sophomore album, Out of Exile, which was nominated for three Grammys two in 2004 and one in 2005.  Shortly after the release, Audioslave performed a free show in Havana, Cuba before an estimated crowd of 50,000 fans becoming the first American rock ban to perform an outdoor concert in Cuba.

Top 5 Audioslave Songs:

1. Cochise (Audioslave)
2. I  Am the Highway (Audioslave)
3. Your Time Has Come (Out of Exile)
4. Original Fire (Revelations)
5. Like a Stone (Audioslave)

With the unique vocal prowess of Cornell and the immediately recognizable music of Rage, Audioslave created a distinctive sound that was both innovative and fresh yet at times had a déjà-vu type feel.

Their third album, Revelations, was released in late 2006 amid rumors and speculation of the departure of lead singer Chris Cornell.  While initially denied, it eventually came to fruition and Cornell went on to again pursue his solo career while the remaining members of the band reunited with mercurial Rage front man Zack  dela Rocha for a one time show at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. 

With the unique vocal prowess of Cornell and the immediately recognizable music of Rage, Audioslave created a distinctive sound that was both innovative and fresh yet at times had a déjà-vu type feeling.

While they made some pretty great music and filled a much needed musical void during the break up of both Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine, I am happy that all members came to their senses and returned to the musical greatness of the former bands.  Rage has been intermittently touring the festivals and Soundgarden has recently reunited and are slated to put on a few shows this summer as well.

Great music awaits

I don’t know – there’s something in the groove of those songs that somehow echo the laid back air of the shores, and hearing them gave me the feeling that I am ever on my way to the next place. I may be sitting here, now, but I am actually on the move. Or something like that.

When the holidays set on, for the first time, I did not play much carols. The songs I mentioned would not let go. They even invited more songs, journey songs, songs that had something to do with ‘place’ and ‘roads’ and ‘movement’ – which was what had me singing I Am The Highway for the most part of the holidays –

especially since the song sounds even more potent if you imagine it’s God speaking in the chorus. Try it: you take the verses, and let Him take the chorus – it becomes one little weird dialogue. You get to be reminded that there’s just no running away from Him.

Yeah, maybe it was meant to be a dialogue. Maybe those ‘pearls’ and ‘swine’ references were actually biblical. And didn’t the song open with an organ? Musicians have so often employed the use of an organ, which is a church instrument, to connote spirituality.

Well, actually, I don’t know what the hell those Audioslave boys intended. All I know is it made me shed geeky, guilty tears to be imagining that God was nagging me through Chris Cornell’s tough voice, “I am not your carpet ride, I am the sky!”

During the New Year, I happened to see Great Expectations again after so many years. In one of the scenes, where a heartbroken Finn walks the streets (?), a song sung by Cornell was played. It was familiar but I could not recall the title. I felt it a hassle to ask my host to open her computer just so I could Google the lyrics and find out what the title of the song was. I had to wait until the holidays were over and I got back to this desk to finally find out: Sunshower. God will finally get a break from tough-loving me through I Am The Highway, I thought – there’s a new song for comfort.

* * *

On the long road to the north, I remembered a few more road songs – A Horse With No Name by America and Everybody’s Talkin’ by Harry Nilsson.

A Horse With No Name made its real impact on me ages ago, when I heard it played in Hideous Kinky, over the montage where the character of Kate Winslett and her daughter were hitchhiking their way through Morocco to reach the Sufis – meeting strange fellow hitchhikers, stopping on the side of the road as their Moslem drivers prayed, watching the desert landscape unfold before them as they moved on.

This is the best clip I could find with the montage – you will have to wait quite long to get to the song, and the montage is even cut, but if only to give you a glimpse, here –

As for Everybody’s Talkin’, the song was originally performed by Harry Nilsson, off the film Midnight Cowboy. For the longest time, again, when I still worked back in the courthouse, one of the songs that got me through was that song. It was anthemic and it suited my needs – it spoke of not fitting in, and going away where one could belong. That time, I was always in the look-out for such songs.

I preferred playing it rather than listening to Nilsson, though. I just was not so much into its original country feel. I had never been into country. Folk I love, but not country. So, if only to keep hearing the song whenever I wished, I learned the chords and figured out how to play it without the country bouncy feel. I chose a more feminine key, and sang it. I used to sing it daily on my way to my rotten bundy clock enemy –

until Borat came out and made a travesty of it. :/

I shall never be providing a clip of that.

Actually, I loved the sick hilarity of Borat. I was achingly laughing out through the movie – until they dared play my anthem, my comfort, over some scene where Borat was cruising the New York streets for a score, to spoof Midnight Cowboy. I stopped laughing at that point.

I kept a grudge against the movie because of that Everybody’s Talkin’ desecration. Since seeing that scene, all I could remember, whenever I heard or thought about the song, is Borat. In that idiotically stretched underwear. It couldn’t be helped – soon I was asking myself whether my misery, salved by the song, can actually just be equated to the perversions of Borat. It wasn’t fair, eh?

When I got back from the north, during the short work period between my Christmas and New Year break, I sought the two songs. In the process, I came across Madeleine Peyroux’s take of Everybody’s Talkin’ –

and just like that, all my Borat grudge was washed away. It never occurred to me that the song could be given a jazzed up arrangement. Before I knew it, I was already checking out her discography, and found out that she also sang Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen songs. And that she wrote songs too. And that she played the guitar –

Peyroux, referred to by some as Billie Holiday on hi-fi, is highly noted for her choices of song to cover, when she covers. Fleshing out the Leonard Cohen-penned Half The Perfect World, she sings –

“On that fundamental ground

where love’s unwilled, unleashed, unbound

and half the perfect world is found”

Now if I could only write like that. I can’t be just stumbling upon lines like that, and they won’t just come to me, too.

* * *

And just as I have been carried by songs to and fro, I heard something from the bus very recently that took quite a challenge to catch –

All I knew of the song is its melody. And that it’s quite old, maybe from the late seventies. I could hum it in perfect pitch, but I could not make out much of the lyrics. Which made it virtually impossible for me to Google for its name.

I typed the words as I heard them – “sentimental” “flowing through my life again” “fourteen” “’cause there may come a time”.

Nothing came out, because as I found out later, I did not hear accurately the few that I heard. But I had to work on what I got in hand, which brought me to try various possible combinations of that set. Remove the quotes, add the plus sign between the phrases, place ‘lyrics’ upfront. Didn’t work.

I even went as far as singing those words to my fellow writers, who are all practically still kids, and were all still likely unborn when the song probably came out. They either just laughed me off or gave me the look.

I kept typing combinations, though, the song was too good for me to give up. At last, I stumbled upon a search page which had in bold most of the words that I typed. I’ve forgotten the exact combination I typed. All I can remember is that when I sang the words from the link that I found, they all perfectly fit in the melody. I got the song, finally! Next goal, to play it.

It’s one happy song. I could stay in it for a while.

[5/52]

Today I update my profile and give myself a brief. Any posts that follow should be improved, if not new.

eu quero, :(.

Mas o que importa agora é relatar porque estou revolts. Tudo começou ontem quando estava trocando idéia com uma entidade que não vai ser mencionada aqui a fim de não querer que vocês leitores da editora nagal corporation fiquem pensando que tem algo aonde não tem, e este sentimento começou a se perpetuar novamete depois da minha primeira hora do dia de hoje, aonde algumas coisas deram errado.

Vou começar pelo segunda parte da história porque ainda tenho que pensar como vou escrever a primeira e nesse exato momento estou debilitado pois acabei de acordar e tambem me sinto intimidado pelas pessoas proximas a mim. Vejam bem, estou no computador do laboratório de informatica da faculdade passando raiva porque a tecla ‘m’, ‘n’ e ‘v’ não funcionam direito, estou no momento ouvindo infected mushroom e com muito frio porque peguei chuva e tô todo molhado no ar condicionado.

eu? dessa vez não.

Opa, acabou de sentar uma menina gat3nh4 do meu lado, porém fedendo a cigarro, adoro.

Enfim, hoje meu despertador toca 10 minutos mais cedo e ACREDITE, EU NÃO SEI O PORQUE. Mas eu fiquei muito revoltado, juro. Mas aí eu volto a dormir, não foi tão díficil. Ando mó cansado por causa da rotina e dormindo muito pouco como sempre. Mas nessa de dormir mais um pouco acabo perdendo a hora e acordando as 7 horas sem porquerer, detalhe que minha aula começa por volta de 7:10~15. Mas até então isso não era problema, sempre chego atrasado ou fico enrolando mesmo. Me arrumo com calma, tranquilo, tomo leitinho sexy desnatado com toddy, escovo os dentes…

Saio e casa por volta das 7:30, e guess what? Tava chovendo. Mas acreditem, isso nem me abalou não, fiquei até feliz, gosto de chuva. Vou andando até o ponto e lá fico esperando o ônibus chegar, e fico esperado, e fico, fico, ico, q. Finalmente ele chega, mas o estrago já tava feito. Tava molhado e tremedo de frio :D, quem mandou sair sem casaco?

Agora vamos ver se minha imunidade consegue me manter longe de uma gripe. Continuando… pego o ônibus, salto no ponto certo (muito bom isso, mó desafio ok) e  vou em direção a faculdade de forma feliz e saltitante (com meu bom humor matinal de sempre.) quando um carro passa naquelas poças de água que se acumulam na rua e espirra água em mim, e sério, nesse momento eu fiquei muito triste, mas tão triste que se meu pai me ligasse naquele momento e falasse que iria comigo hoje ver um baixo minha expressão de frustração não mudaria. Mas acalmem-se, tá tudo bem agora tá o caralho vou botar fogo no carro, na casa e na mãe desse infeliz.

Chego na faculdade, e vou ‘correndo’ [entenda correndo como andando mais rápido] porque já tinha perdido uma das duas aulas e com certeza o professor ia falar no meu ouvido… Já tinha até bolado uma história para dar migué no nego safado cuja mãe faleceu semana passada. Pior que é sério, a velha morreu mesmo auehuiaheuae.   :/

Aposto que Dobras vai me gastar por causa da gíria de pobre, IAHEIUAE.

No momento em que chego a minha sala, não vejo ninguem, e penso ‘fffffffffuuuu- que que aconteceu aqui capeta luscfer?’ Aí lembrei da mãe do cara, e pensei, hm-. Daí eram aproximadamente 8h e eu tinha que procurar algo para matar o tempo, e assistir aula em outra sala apesar de ser uma opção não me chamou muita atenção. Foi quando comecei a pensar o que faria… e meu primeiro intuito foi procurar as pessoas que andam comigo na faculdade para persuadilos de matar aula e irem jogar baralho comigo no centro de vivência, mas eu falhei nessa campanha. Não achei ninguem.

E em seguida lembrei que tinha o laboratório de informática, e lembrei que tava querendo atualizar o blog a um tempo já, aí vim para cá e comecei a elaborar esse mais novo post super interessante que aposto que todas vocês, nagas do meu coração vão adorar.

sense, this picture makes none.

Véi, eu poderia estar dormindo esse momento. Vocês entedem o que isso significa? É muito triste. E eu exijo que vocês fiquem tristes juntos comigo, agora. Exijo que compartilhem minha dor e para as meninas tambem exijo que tirem fotos peladas e me mandem. E não, não podem usar meias.

Pensando melhor agora, acho que não vou comentar o primeiro assunto que tava com a intenção de falar, e sim, eu adoro deixar vocês curiosos mesmo sabendo que não dão a mínima para a minha vida, auiheiaheia. Talvez, muito remotamente provável, eu elabore algo sobre, tipo como aquele post da hipocrisia e comente aqui em outra oportunidade.

Ae, 8:45 já. Deu a minha hora, vou para o intervalo comer uma bizarrice de salgado que alimenta uma família de 5 pessoas durante três dias. Juro, tem um salgado aqui na faculdade que a gente chama de cesta básica, VEM TUDO DENTRO DELE VÉI. Chegando em casa vejo se completo o post com mais alguma coisa, derrepente posto um vídeo, as vezes no caminho para casa passo lá no cemitério e tiro algumas fotos para poder botar no kutkut e pagar de gótico.

-@edit.continuação-
Ae cheguei em casa, finally.  Tô com muito sono, vou ver se consigo skip work hoje de tarde… aproveitar para dormir um pouco e copiar uma lista de exercícios valendo ponto de cálculo que é para sexta. Hoje a noite tenho aula de baixo, mó legal. \o/

Hoje enquanto trabalhava tive que ir no banco HSBC fazer uns depósitos e uns saques, e para aqueles que desconhecem o sistema bancário, para se fazer algum saque com cheque precisa da identididade para poder identificar. Mas aí o que acontece é que eu andei até o banco e no momento que eu cheguei lá percebi que tinha esquecido a merda da minha identidade na mochila, e sem ela eu não conseguiria sacar mesmo com o pessoal do banco me conhecendo, daí tive que voltar na merda do escritório para pegar a merda da identidade para voltar na merda do banco. Andei muito, ok.

Cansei de digitar já, mil palavras. :B

até a proxima, vagabundas.

aexllafm-

Quick update today.  Today in practice we focused on our covers of The Stooge’s “No Fun” and Audioslave’s “I am the Highway.”  We have “No Fun” down pretty well, and are just breaking into getting familiar with “I am the Highway.”  All in all the two hours rehearsing today were rather productive, and we’re happy with the direction the band is going.  Our goal is to learn two new covers a week, in addition to creating original material throughout our practices.  Our next gig will probably be a party for Independence Day weekend, so we hope to have a filling setlist ready by then.

Let us take a moment to introduce ourselves.  We are The Horsemen, a new band originating from rural Connecticut.  With influences ranging from classic to modern rock, we will be covering a lot of fan favorites as well as writing and producing our own original material.  We have Matt on lead vocals, Jahi on lead guitar, Jordan on rhythm guitar, Ryan on bass, and Dave on the drums.  We are new as a group so we have a long way to go but we believe the ceiling for our potential is high.  The following video showcases a few highlights from our first few days of rehearsals, with a few moments of comedy thrown in for fun.  Besides the clips of “Louie, Louie” and “No Fun,” all material is original and improvised on the spot.

On a great note, yesterday afternoon our band played a short set at a benefit for St. Jude Children’s Hospital!  We played two of our own songs and covered “Louie, Louie” in its entirety.  We hope to have the videos up shortly!

El lunes 10 de diciembre de este frío y caluroso 2007, Chris Cornell se presentó en Chile. Los que estuvimos ahí, nos dimos cuenta que quien estuvo realmente sobre el escenario no fue un simple mortal más, fue dios.

Si señora señor, Dios Cornell estuvo en Chile, y yo, junto a miles de personas fuimos sus discípulos, sus fieles seguidores que aguantamos un sermón de música, que más que grunch, fue rock del bueno y por casi tres horas.

A las 21 horas en punto salió la banda de apoyo de Chris Cornell al escenario, y a los segundos después, aparece el mismísimo Chris Cornel y el maldito Espacio Riesco se vino abajo. Y ahí estaba yo, a menos de 5 metros, el socio que tantas veces me acompaño en mis caminatas hacia playa para surfear, a través del personal stereo (se me cayo el carnet), cantando verdaderos himnos de los noventas.

Las primeras canciones en sonar, fueron las de Soundgarden, después algo de Audioslave y unas cuantas de su disco solita. Con esos primeros cuarenta minutos mi entrada y mi viaje a santiago, ya estaba pagado.

Después vino una sesión acústica de lo más puta madre que he visto en mi puta vida, donde sonaron, entre otras, Like A Stone y el notable cover de la canción Billy Jean (que gran letra… “But the kid is not my son”). En esta parte también sonó “Im the highway”, y déjeme decirle señora señor, que ahí fue donde se rindieron hasta los tipos mas duros, si hasta un chascon lleno de tatuajes al lado mío dijo “weón, voy a llorar”.

Y como si todo eso fuera poco, volvió la banda al escenario, tirando toda la carne a la parrilla, y ahí sonaron más himnos como Burden in my hand, Black Hole Sun (ahhh… que manera de corearla) Sun y Cochise.

Después vino un corte, Cornell se fue del escenario, y los que estábamos ahí lo pedimos de vuelta, que wea, Chriss Cornell escuchó el llamado y volvió a sacarnos la chucha nuevamente. Cuando cantó “Cant Change Me”, yo simplemente me rendí ante el dios Cornell.

Al final cada canción, pensaba “en cualquier minuto se le va a la cresta la voz a Cornell”, pero no, el socio tiene unas de las mejores voces de todo el puto mundo.

Y así fueron las casi tres horas más inolvidables de mi vida. Sin duda este fue el mejor concierto en el que he estado, después de Perl Jam.

Este fue mi auto-regalo de cumpleaños, navidad y de aniversario de los 3 años de este blog.

Para el final, copio y pego un comentario que hizo el periodista de panko.cl, Jaime guzman “…Cada 10 de diciembre habrá que encender una vela para recordar lo que paso ayer”.

Lo Malo de la Noche

1.- Como si no bastara viajar desde Arica hacia Santiago, hacen el concierto en Espacio Riesco que queda a la cresta del mundo y más encima es feo y la acústica es ahí nomás. Como leí en algún comentario por ahí, deberían prohibir constitucionalmente hacer recitales en Espacio Riesco.

2.- Debo comprar una cámara fotográfica que esté a la altura de estos magnos eventos.

Este es un video de algun socio (a) subio a Yutube con la canción “I Am The Highway, simplemente notable:
