<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 215px"><img title="Cover of Changing Tunes; image courtesy of musicweb-international.com" src="http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2006/Apr06/Powrie_Changing_Tunes.jpg" alt="Cover of Changing Tunes; image courtesy of musicweb-international.com" width="205" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cover of Changing Tunes; image courtesy of musicweb-international.com</p></div>
<p>Since a lot of folks (including many friends) are back in school, I thought I&#8217;d do another book report. Tonight, I&#8217;ll jot down my notes on <em>Changing Tunes: The Use of Pre-existing Music in Film</em>. Just as my friend Kit pointed me in the direction of this useful, diverse anthology, I thought I&#8217;d do the same, especially for any other burgeoning feminist soundtrack/score enthusiasts there may be. Term paper deadlines will come closer than you think.</p>
<p>As Robynn Stilwell was one of the co-editors of the collection who penned the particular essay Kit recommended to me, what better place to start? After all, her piece is called &#8221;Vinyl Communion: The Record as Ritual Object in Girls&#8217; Rites-of-Passage Films.&#8221; Here, Stilwell looks at four movies featuring girl protagonists and preoccupied with such themes, two of which I&#8217;ve yet to see (<em>Little Voice</em> and <em>Heavenly Creatures</em>) and two of which are all-time favorites (<em>Ghost World </em>and <em>The Virgin Suicides</em>). As Stilwell&#8217;s reading of <em>Little Voice </em>aligns with Pamela Robertson&#8217;s, I will refer you to a <a href="http://feministmusicgeek.com/2009/06/27/read-soundtrack-available-essays-on-film-and-popular-music/" target="_blank">previous entry</a> where Robertson&#8217;s essay is discussed. And while I would&#8217;ve liked more development of each text (hell, I could read a whole book on each of these movies) and would have appreciated some movies that consider the mediated representations of vinyl practices from girls of color, I still found Stilwell&#8217;s insights valueable. And obviously, I&#8217;m going to need to watch all these movies.</p>
<p>To Stilwell, <em>Ghost World</em>&#8217;s<em> </em>Enid believes that vinyl, and its technological apparatus, has no instrinsic value as an object. In one scene, she pretends to break her record collector friend Seymour&#8217;s vintage LP. She also has no interest in creating an authentic listening experience, playing old vinyl releases on a  33 1/3 record player that were meant to be played on a 78. Instead, Enid turns to record-playing for its transportive and transformative qualities. She wants a form of escape from her suburban SoCal surroundings, trying on punk, retro, and gothic fashions and turning to Bollywood, Indian rock music, and blues singer Skip James&#8217;s hauntingly androgynous tenor in &#8220;Devil Got My Woman.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/VYw7u6mHt4M&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/VYw7u6mHt4M&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>With Peter Jackson&#8217;s <em>Heavenly Creatures</em>, itself based on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker-Hulme_murder" target="_blank">Pauline Parker-Juliet Hulme murder</a>, the schoolgirls&#8217; fandom for tenor Mario Lanza serves as a buffer for true homosexual feelings, a development that Stilwell explains by using late theorist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_Kosofsky_Sedgwick" target="_blank">Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick</a>&#8217;s notion of the homosocial triangle.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/MdUs_8Ee_3U&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/MdUs_8Ee_3U&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Thus, in order to own those feelings, Pauline and Juliet must disavow themselves from Lanza, burning their records to aver these feelings in the process.</p>
<p>Record burning is considered in a much different context in Sofia Coppola&#8217;s <em>The Virgin Suicides</em>, instead constructed as authoritative punishment rather than a declaration of one&#8217;s identity. The Lisbon girls, a mysterious and cloistered quintet, consider records to be a form of communication between one another and to the neighbor boys with whom they&#8217;ve been forbidden to interact with by their parents. Songs like Heart&#8217;s &#8220;Magic Man&#8221; and &#8220;Crazy on You&#8221; <a href="http://feministmusicgeek.com/2009/08/28/scene-it-heart-and-the-virgin-suicides/" target="_blank">speak on their behalf</a>, conveying the lust and sexual agency that girls feel and Lux Lisbon acts upon for high school heartthrob Trip Fontaine. Thus, mother Lisbon&#8217;s command that Lux burn her rock records after Trip Fontaine sleeps with and abandons her on the football field after the Homecoming game suggests a tragic loss of voice, demanding that she align with soft rock male singer-songwriters like Gilbert O&#8217;Sullivan and Todd Rundgren instead of continuing to listen to libidinous cock rock bands like Aerosmith.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/fbz4-du3Ayg&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/fbz4-du3Ayg&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>With Vanessa Knights &#8216; &#8220;Queer Pleasures: The Bolero, Camp, and Almodóvar,&#8221; we have a consideration of how Pedro Almodóvar asserted a queer identity in his earlier films, utilizing the campy potential of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Lupe" target="_blank">bolero</a>, as well as acknowledging the contributions bolero singers like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Lupe" target="_blank">La Lupe</a> have given to queer fan culture, particularly among gay men.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Mi1LsJfcPNk&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Mi1LsJfcPNk&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>While Almodóvar may have more often utilized Cuban musicians&#8217; contributions to movies made within a strictly Spanish context, Phil Powrie&#8217;s &#8220;The Fabulous Destiny of the Accordion in French Cinema&#8221; considers the accordian, originally an Italian musical instrument, as a French national symbol. He considers the accordian&#8217;s heroic period between 1930 and 1960 and how the instrument was used as an audiovisual marker of utopian community in movies like René Clair&#8217;s <em>Sous les toits de Paris</em>. While Powrie does not make it clear, I hazard to guess that there may be some connection, however tenuous, between this period and the chanteuse réaliste movies Kelley Conway has discussed elsewhere.</p>
<p>By 1949, Powrie notes that movies like Jacques Tati&#8217;s <em>Jour de Fête </em>were commenting on the decline of the accordian&#8217;s ubiquity in French culture as the country shifted from a working-class country with a strong sense of history to a modern society with tremendous interest in other cultures and a particular interest in American life. This is a point Powrie argues that Tati makes aurally, as Jo Lefevre&#8217;s accordian opens and closes a film about a character who tries to emulate American customs, cued through the film&#8217;s use of swing music.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/O75gUQmwdTM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/O75gUQmwdTM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>The move away from the accordian&#8217;s aural connotation of national identity is evident in 80s French cinema. The accordian instead becomes a visual, unheard marker of community demise in movies like Jean-Jacques Beineix&#8217;s <em>Diva</em>. From the 1990s on, the accordian has become a post-modern instrument for French cinema to Powrie, suggesting both a utopian ideal and evident of self-aware nostalgia, most evident in Yann Tiersen&#8217;s score for Jean-Pierre Jeunet&#8217;s <em>Amélie.</em></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/sECzJY07oK4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/sECzJY07oK4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>And finally, we have Ronald Rodman&#8217;s &#8220;The Popular Song as Leitmotif in 1990s Film,&#8221; which considers how the use of theme music written for specific characters in classical music and film can be translated into contemporary film&#8217;s use of popular music and how leitmotif is used as a connotative signifier. This seems like a tremendously useful exercise that I&#8217;ll make sure to remember when I get to be a boss professor lady.</p>
<p>Rodman considers <em>Pulp Fiction </em>and <em>Trainspotting</em>, two successful movies made noteworthy, in part, because of their exclusive use of popular music. With <em>Pulp Fiction</em>, protagonist hit man Vince Vega becomes associated with surf rock and Elvis as a means of connoting his class and white ethnic cultural positioning as an Italian American with a working-class background. In <em>Trainspotting</em>, Scottish heroin addict Mark Renton is associated with art-damaged, anti-establishment classic rockers like Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, and David Bowie, before getting clean and making his classed ascent into the bourgeoisie, which is highlighted by his musical association with Brit pop and popular techno.<br />
  <br />
<span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/m5_TzFhOKgA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/m5_TzFhOKgA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>While I appreciate Rodman&#8217;s argument for <em>Trainspotting</em>, I do wonder what he&#8217;d make of the wave of regional pictures in the UK during the 1990s and early 2000s. Just as <em>Trainspotting </em>focuses on Edinburgh, so to did <em>24-Hour Party People </em>depicted Manchester&#8217;s singularity. That said, I do value Rodman&#8217;s effort to reconsider how popular music functions similarly to classical music in movies, and look forward to reading more on the interplay from similarly-invested scholars. Please feed me titles if you&#8217;re so inclined.</p>

<p>&#8220;Há uma infinidade de salsichas no mundo.<br />
Não seria justo generalizá-las, tendo experimentado apenas uma.<br />
Há salsichas feitas de peru, frango e papel higiênico.<br />
Há também aquelas que soltam aquela agüinha nojenta.<br />
E, finalmente, há aquelas que se pareciam com o David Lee Roth e agora parecem-se com Mark Renton.&#8221;</p>
<p>Eu quero a salsicha Mark Renton, quero com água e açucar pra não ficar de ressaca. Quero a salsicha Mark Renton antes de querer qualquer outro tipo de salsicha.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Devious Theatre&#8217;s Trainspotting &#8211; Kicking the Habit:</strong></em><br />
<span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/0Hz00W359S8&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/0Hz00W359S8&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>We close the curtain on Act 1 of <strong>Trainspotting</strong> with these two new clips from our show that ran last June in the Watergate Theatre. </p>
<p>Clip number one is of Mark Renton&#8217;s (<a href="http://www.oss237.com" target="_blank">Ross Costigan</a>) attempt to finally kick his heroin addiction once and for all. <a href="http://www.pipcantseepurple.com" target="_blank">Pip &#8216;Stephen&#8217; Colfer</a> also features as a foosty old cunt and multiple other roles. Before we hit the stage with the show, many people wondered would this scene remain intact in all it&#8217;s scatalogical glory. Those in the shit firing-line in the first two rows on all four nights probably wish we&#8217;d dropped the toilet scene entirely. Don&#8217;t worry folks, it was only a concoction of Snickers bars, honey and water! And diarrhoea.</p>
<p>Clip numero two is the final scene in Act 1 wherein Renton, Spud (Stephen Colfer) and Alison (Maria Murray) pop some pills and lep about to some Frank Zappa. I absolutely adore this scene due to how overtly insane it feels. I thought it was the perfect way to close an act: the highest of highs before we hit them with the lowest of lows. Kudos to all actors in this scene. Some damn fine merri-go-round miming out of ye!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Ayer tuve la ocasión de leer este artículo de Ezne, donde hablaba de la drogadicción y cómo se ve so]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p align="justify"><a title="renton.jpg" href="http://mondomedico.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/renton.jpg"><img src="http://mondomedico.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/renton.jpg" alt="renton.jpg" width="201" height="259" align="left" /></a>Ayer tuve la ocasión de<a href="http://ezne.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/soluciones-practicas/"><strong> leer este artículo de Ezne</strong></a>, donde hablaba de la drogadicción y cómo se ve socialmente y las opiniones que tienen algunas personas acerca de los &#8220;drogadizos&#8221; como suelen denominarles despectivamente. Para gustos los colores, como se suele decir, pero en ocasiones hay opiniones que dejan ojiplático a cualquiera y hacen que recuerde <a href="http://perarduaadastra.eu/2008/10/opiniones-y-dogmas/"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>este debate en el blog de EC-JPR.</strong></span></a></p>
<p align="justify">A cuento de eso, recordé un artículo que escribí hace tiempo para <a title="¿Por qué MarK Renton se sent�a tan mal al dejar la hero�na?" href="http://museodelaciencia.blogspot.com/2008/04/por-qu-mark-renton-se-senta-tan-mal-al.html" target="_blank"><strong><em> <span style="color:#0000ff;">Museo de la Ciencia</span></em></strong></a> y que cuelgo aquí, ligeramente modificado, para gusto y disfrute del personal. Es un tema duro, lo sé, pero en Medicina, para bien  o para mal, se ve &#8220;de tó&#8221;.</p>
<p align="justify">En la película <a title="Trainspotting" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trainspotting"><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Trainspotting</span></span></strong></a>, basada en la novela homónima de I<strong>rvine Welsh</strong>, hay una escena en la que se muestran el intenso malestar y las alucinaciones que padece uno de sus protagonistas, <strong>Mark Renton</strong>, cuando se desengancha de la heroína. Cuando ví esa película, antes de estudiar Medicina, me pregunté si el síndrome de abstinencia a este opiáceo era así de llamativo y escandaloso o lo habían exagerado para darle dramatismo en la película, porque la escena deja literalmente flipado a quien la ve por primera vez.</p>
<p align="justify">La heroína es un derivado del <span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><a title="La amapola no es sólo una bonita planta" href="http://mondomedico.wordpress.com/2007/12/12/la-amapola-no-es-solo-una-bonita-planta/">opio</a></strong></span></span> que causa una tremenda <strong>dependencia psicológica y física</strong>, de ahí que sea una de las drogas de las que más difícil es desengancharse. En el caso de la <strong>dependencia psicológica</strong>, la persona necesita la droga para sentirse bien y si la deja sufre, pero en su organismo no hay cambio alguno; en el de la <strong>dependencia física</strong>, necesita la droga para que su cuerpo funcione correctamente, de ahí que esta dependencia sea más peligrosa y difícil de superar que la primera, puesto que ya no se buscan los placeres que suministra la droga, sino evitar el malestar en caso de no consumirla.<strong> Al suspender bruscamente la administración de heroína</strong>, la persona habituada a ella sufre diarreas, náuseas y vómitos, agitación intensa, tiene un frío intenso (<strong>hipotermia</strong>)  y se le pone la piel de gallina (<strong>piloerección</strong>), se le dilatan las pupilas (<strong>midriasis</strong>), tiene una abundante secreción nasal, le duele el abdomen y en ocasiones tiene alucinaciones. Sí, Mark Renton lo pasó muy mal al intentar superar el &#8220;mono&#8221; de la heroína, tal como se ve en el siguiente vídeo <em><strong>(nota: no es imprescindible ver el vídeo para entender este artículo, es fuertecillo)</strong></em>:</p>
<p align="justify"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/qDLSirYQAik&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/qDLSirYQAik&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p align="justify">
<p align="justify">¿<strong>Cómo se trata actualmente el síndrome de abstinencia</strong>? Hay diversos fármacos para ayudar al heroinómano, el más conocido y usado es la <strong>metadona</strong>, que se incluye en los programas de desintoxicación gracias a que se puede tomar por vía oral sin necesidad de pinchazos, sus efectos son más duraderos y suaves al tardar más en degradarse y eliminarse del cuerpo que la heroína y además, ser legal. También se emplean la <strong>clonidina</strong> y la <strong>buprenorfina</strong>, aunque en menor medida.</p>
<p align="justify">Como nota final, hace poco tiempo supe que la heroína apenas se consume por vía intravenosa, siendo ahora más habitual fumarla, tanto por la imagen negativa de los pinchazos en los brazos como el miedo al SIDA por las jeringas compartidas y la mayor facilidad de consumo al ser su preparación menos laboriosa<em><strong>.</strong></em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Anche io, come <a href="http://razorsisters.com/2008/03/08/23/">Chiara </a>ed <a href="http://razorsisters.com/2008/03/07/grandi-amori-fugaci-avventure-riviste-e-videoclip/">Hom</a>, ho avuto i miei grandi amori immaginari. Sono solo quattro. Sono una <em>persona seria</em>, io.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Il mio primo grande amore immaginario fu, a 13 anni, Nick Kamen. Ricordo che ascoltavo <em>Loving you is sweeter than ever</em> (non capendoci francamente un&#8217;<em>h)</em>, mentre rischiavamo di morire all&#8217;uscita di una galleria sulla SA-RC. Il fatto che io sia ancora qui passò come una grazia della madonna di Pompei, mentre io non riuscivo a pensare ad altro che al ciuffo alla Elvis del mai dimenticato Nick. Come ben altre volte sarebbe accaduto nella mia vita, entrare in fissa con i ragazzi avrebbe costituito una valida alternativa alle preoccupazioni della vita.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img src="http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/516/kamen0223ce71rk2.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Il mio secondo grande amore immaginario fu Bono degli U2. Mi innamorai della sua voce possente e della sua aura mistica, dei suoi modi risoluti da vero maschio e, purtroppo, anche del suo clone versione casereccia. Com&#8217;è probabile, ogni paesino gode della presenza di un certo numero di fenomeni da baraccone: matti che girano con le rose ficcate nel naso e vecchietti che toccano il culo alle minorenni o cloni di personaggi famosi. Bene, noi avevamo tutto questo (e molto altro) e anche il clone di Amedeo Minghi e&#8230; Quello di Bono Vox, si faceva chiamare &#8220;Tonino Bono Vox&#8221;. Durante la Fiera di primavera di quell&#8217;anno avevo fatto di tutto per riuscire a parlarci e con tutto l&#8217;entusiasmo dei miei 18 anni avevo sorvolato su alcune faccenduole: il fatto che mi passasse 10 anni, il fatto che questo coincidesse il numero esatto di anni di fidanzamento con una tipa per niente socievole soprannominata <em>parrucca </em>e degna di un film di Tarantino. L&#8217;ho scampata per un pelo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img style="vertical-align:middle;" src="http://www.richard.hare.dsl.pipex.com/bono2.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quando ebbi il mio terzo grande amore immaginario, ero già a Roma e il sottopassaggio su via dello scalo di San Lorenzo con i suoi graffiti e le bottiglie di birra rotte era quanto di più vicino al lontano mondo dell&#8217;ambiguo, dell&#8217;insano e del crepuscolare impersonato dal giovane Renton, protagonista di <em>Trainspotting</em>. Con l&#8217;entusiasmo dei miei 21 anni, per mesi, andai in giro cercando qualcuno che indossasse una sporca felpa dell&#8217;<em>Adidas</em> e fosse così fatto da chiedermi di uscire, qualcuno che conoscesse, come me, i versi della canzoncina dei New Order che Dianne cantava a Renton e che mi ripetevo come fanno le bambine con alcune formule magiche. Ad oggi, mi basta passare sul ponte della Casilina e <em>guardare sfilare i treni </em>con i piedi nella monnezza romana per ritornare alla realtà.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img src="http://www.bloggers.it/Ugo/itcommenti/mark%20renton%20ewan%20mcgregor%20trainspotting%202.gif" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Il quarto, ed ultimo, amore immaginario fu Alex Kapranos dei Franz Ferdinand, sempre uno scozzese. Si vede che, tutto sommato, il puzzo di birra ed il tanfo di moquette mi attirano in misura maggiore che quello del Cirò e della nduja.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img src="http://caroloreggia.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/alex_kapranos.jpg?w=200&#038;h=300" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>¡Increíble!Existía hace ya casi un lustro, un programa llamado &#8220;La Hora Trance&#8221;, que se emitía en Radio 3, normalmente a altas horas de la madrugada (su horario más fijo fué los Domingos a la 1 de la mañana). Soy más o menos asiduo a la Radio, no tanto como antes, pero, desde mi humilde opinión, este programa, llevado maravillosamente por Valerio Veneras, joven periodista santanderino y estupendo soñador, es el programa que más ha influido en mi manera de ser y pensar, quizá porque concordaba perfectamente con mi manera de ser y pensar&#8230;de alguna manera me mostró lo que yo era, lo que no veía de mí&#8230;en cierto modo abrió mi florecer, mi amor por la vida, mi yo interior atenazado por un ambiente contrario a todo este idealismo.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Los programas de Valerio eran una mezcla entre la realidad y lo onírico, entre el sueño y la vigilia, entre el amor y lo desconocido, pasando por sentimientos reales y rasgos psicológicos universales&#8230;como él comenzaba diciendo, era un programa dedicado a <em>&#8220;la música, la imaginación y a los pequeños placeres del día a día&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Desde el primer momento que escuché, casi por casualidad, el primer programa, me dediqué a no perderme, pero y a grabar en cintas, todos y cada uno de los que escuché, hasta que dejó de ser emitido (tras varios cambios de horario y día que nos traían algo locos a los oyentes trancianos). En estas grabaciones, hay algo mágico, algo que me quedó grabado de cada tema, pero no por ser nuevo, sino por comulgar fielmente con las teorías que el presentador transmitía, ya fueran acerca del amor, de la amistad, de la ciudad, de los amantes, de las generaciones perdidas, de Jodorowsky, de la psicodelia (maravilloso programa, éste de la psicodelia, con un intento de Psicodelia Radiofónica perpetrado por el joven Veneras&#8230;fabuloso)&#8230;en resumen, de las almas en trance, temas hechos a medida para todos los soñadores que esperábamos ansiosos el comienzo de cada programa (recuerdo que los Lunes yo debía levantarme a las ocho para ir a clase, y era de los que dormía diez horas al día..por lo que acostarme a las 2 de la mañana hubiera sido un gran suplicio de no ser por este bálsamo curativo para la mente llamado &#8220;La Hora Trance&#8221;).</p>
<p>Descubrí a The Doors, las peripecias y la figura de Jim Morrison. Oí por primera vez hablar de La Naranja Mecánica y Alex Delarge, de Trainspotting y Mark Renton, de las generaciones perdidas, de la psicodelia sesentera y todas sus ilusiones, del oscuro final del siglo XIX y sus grandes escritores, como Baudelaire, Lord Byron, Rimbaud&#8230;y, por primera vez, me sentí vivo, descubrí que mi alma interior llevaba tiempo llamando a la puerta, pero fué Valerio quién le ofreció la llave, y, a partir de ahí, todo fué explosión creativa y onírica&#8230;el desencadenante Böîg, mi forma de ser&#8230;(no debo obviar aquí que Segovia y Gomorra también ayudó mucho al forjamiento de mi personalidad, entre otros miles de factores).</p>
<p>Aún no puedo ofreceros grabaciones de todos los programas, pero he encontrado un par de programas, ambos con Jodorowsky como protagonista. Para quién no conozcan a este genio, debo explicarlos que es un fiero psiconauta, un mago de la palabra y las sensaciones, una persona digna de conocer.</p>
<p>Para quién interese, le recomiendo fervientemente escuchar estos dos programas. No es apto para gente sin alma, sino para soñadores compulsivos, para los que buscan respuestas más allá del limite social impuesto, para quién su espíritu revolucionario y curioso le impide satisfacer sus ansias de saber y conocer&#8230;en fin, para gentes humildes y bohemias, que rozan los limites de lo establecido, que no siguen ninguna línea predeterminada. Para viajeros de la mente, y gente que funciona a fogonazos creativos&#8230;</p>
<p>Pasen y vean, y disfruten:</p>

<p>P.D: He aquí otros dos programas, otro que entrevista al fabuloso psicomago Jodorowsky y otra entrevista a LoLo Rico, de &#8220;La Bola de Cristal&#8221;, aunque les falta a ambas algunos minutos del principio.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>He recordado cuando vi por primera vez <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117951/">Trainspotting</a>, en el 97, con 16 tiernos años. Apunté en una libretita de ésas que regalan los visitadores médicos una parte del guión que se me quedó grabada. Mark Renton (quién diría entonces que se entregaría al amor en <a target="_blank" href="http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/ng/mo/uno/20060126/03/2870382258.jpg">Moulin Rouge</a>) decide que ha llegado el momento de algo así como ligar. Suena la voz en <em>off</em>:</p>
<p><a href="http://buscandobarataria.wordpress.com/files/2007/11/train.jpg" title="train.jpg"><img src="http://buscandobarataria.wordpress.com/files/2007/11/train.thumbnail.jpg" alt="train.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><em>&#8220;El joven Renton tomó nota de la rapidez con que los triunfadores en la esfera sexual, como en las otras, se escindían de los fracasados. La heroína le había arrebatado a Renton su deseo sexual, pero ahora había vuelto con intereses. Y al desvanecerse en el olvido la impotencia de aquellos días, una horrible desesperación hizo mella en su mente sexualmente perturbada. Su líbido postcaballo, alimentada por el alcohol y la anfetamina le provocaba sin piedad para acabar con su desdicha&#8230; (una mujer aparece en escena, cambia la música)&#8230; Y entonces, Mark Renton se enamoró&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>pd. Por cierto, mi profesora de inglés me dijo entonces que Trainspotting era una nueva afición de los jóvenes ingleses e irlandeses que consistía en ver pasar un tren, esperar al próximo y al siguiente para memorizar sus datos y características, y hacer cálculos sobre la duración de sus trayectos (se admiten teorías).</p>
