<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Nada de futebol, <a href="http://opinafute.wordpress.com" target="_blank">isso eu já faço</a>. Basquete? Muito menos, já tenho <a href="http://www.jumperbrasil.com.br" target="_blank">meu espaço</a>. Esportes serão pauta? Quem sabe, né. Mas quero falar mais de mim, deixar as coisas fluírem com mais naturalidade. Nada melhor do que começar algo novo. Nada melhor do que desabafar escrevendo, mesmo que você saiba que talvez ninguém leia isso. Você está lendo? Estou escrevendo só para mim? Não sei. Sei que isso faz bem e que é legal.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E nada melhor do que deixar para trás a imagem brasileira de que todos somos folgados e dar o pontapé inicial &#8211; e salve as gírias futebolísticas! &#8211; em mais um projeto em pleno feriado. Projeto? Ok, vou com mais calma. Dar o pontapé inicial em mais uma das minhas loucuras, que em algumas vezes até que dão certo. Mas o que interessa é o feriado. Ah, o descanso.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dádiva divina que tem sido pouco comum na minha vida. Entre planos de estar naquelas folhas sujas &#8211; no sentido físico, calma &#8211; dos jornais de cada dia, a correria atrás do diploma que nem existe &#8211; e do dinheiro para tê-lo &#8211; e da presença mais do que necessária de uma <a href="http://thamirizando.wordpress.com" target="_blank">namorada</a>, tenho pouco tempo para parar e pensar &#8220;Ufa&#8221;. Mas quem tem esse tempo?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pensando neste tempo, pensei no nome deste blog (odeio esse termo). Pensei porque estou cansado de relógios que mais parecem algemas. Quero me libertar do tempo e sei que não vou conseguir. Posso me dar ao luxo de sonhar? Então abro aqui o <strong>Cinco pra daqui a pouco</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Espero conseguir tudo o que eu quero e começar com isso aqui indo pra frente seria legal. Entre bolas de basquete, futebol e tudo que se possa imaginar, um amor para se guardar pra sempre e os meus jornais, vamos lá. Eu sou o Leonardo. Eu sou o Leo. Eu sou o Le. Espero que tudo isso dê certo. Espero achar o remix certo de<em> Every You Every Me</em>, do Placebo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Fiz esse post&#8230;</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ouvindo <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYrW0Sa2Nec" target="_blank">Dub Incorporation</a>, pensando se estava fazendo a coisa certa, ajudando alguém a tomar a escolha certa e lembrando de como foi bom o meu feriado.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Hello darlings. Fall semester is finally coming to a fucking end and I could not be any happier. I h]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hello darlings. Fall semester is finally coming to a fucking end and I could not be any happier. I have been miserably trying (with no success it seems) to get decent grades in my psychology courses. It does not help that I have the SAME teacher in my two psych classes. It does not help psychology is my goddamn major and I suck at it. But, it is okay. I will survive and kill myself studying for finals so that I get at least B’s in them. Wish me luck because I swear of God I need to step my game up. This just farther confirms that I am a complete dumbfuck… I have been trying so damn hard this semester and it just doesn’t seem to pay off. Then again, other people in my classes are struggling too. It has gone to the point of people complaining to the university about my teacher exams of doom (the format is wack).</p>
<p>At any rate, I finally signed up for the classes I am going to take spring semester. I don’t want to get ahead of myself because it seems every time I am happy about something shit goes wrong. But, I have a good feeling about next semester. I am not taking as many hours and I have a class with one of my good friends. Plus, one of the psych courses I am going to take it’s with the teacher I have mentioned in previous posts. The SEXY, SUBLIME, UTTERLY DIVINE who’s only downfall is that he is also extremely neurotic. Yes, I know.I am a masochist but I really want to take that course, his exams are not that bad and the hot factor is just a major plus. God, he is hot… Am I weird for liking older men? I mean, I see a pattern here. Oh well, it’s not like I get any lovin’. Mama needs to lust after something.</p>
<p>This Thursday I went dancing and Thursday to a party.It was alright. The nightclub was packed and I got asked to dance by a bunch of weirdos and fatties. Just my cup of tea! Friday, I didn’t stay that long at the party but I made some videos that I shall post on here. Every time I face any situation that involves those kinds of settings and interactions I feel like such an outsider. As if I just  don&#8217;t belong and people can sense how utterly flaw I am. It may be I am just paranoiac or  SAD kicking in&#8230; <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Before I forget mentioning it, I saw CVS boy after not seeing him since June. Needless to say it was weird as fuck. Just as I was coming into the store with my mom (yikes) we said hi to each other and he got extremely excited. He opened his arms and said my name and I just smiled at him and kept walking. WTF? Yeah, because I totally am going to walk to the counter and give you a hug. Hell naww! I don’t like people touching me and we are not buddies. Don’t get me wrong, I am not bitter but I hate hypocrites. Don’t pretend you know me and we are friends because bitch we ain’t. I am such a gangsta. Right.</p>
<p>Sometimes I feel like I am slowly wasting my youth being a hermit but then I remind myself that although I suck at school (and have to work really hard towards getting decent grades)hey, I am doing something with my life. And it’s not like I have ever failed a course or anything… I wish I found something that came to me naturally without so much fucking effort.  I am on a constant endurance race. If at least one area in my life went okay I would be the happiest girl in the world. I must accept  after 20 years that it simply doesn’t. No-I don’t attract decent, smart guys. No-I don’t get straight A’s in all of my courses. No-most people don’t like me and I don’t have many friends. Expectations and not being able to get rid of them is what fucks everything up.</p>
<p>Here are the videos:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/maquinaimposible.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4143" style="margin-right:12px;" title="maquinaimposible" src="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/maquinaimposible.jpg" alt="" width="238" height="225" /></a>Roberto es un tipo normal, aficionado a los deportes y a los viajes. Comparte mucho tiempo y numerosas aventuras con Paco, su amigo de la infancia. Además de muchos años de amistad, les unen sus aficiones y gustos, muy semejantes.</p>
<p>Sin embargo, existe una gran diferencia entre ambos: Roberto tiene muy mala suerte. Sin ir más lejos, el otro día compraron unos artilugios para mejorar el equilibrio en la práctica de uno de los deportes que les apasionan: el surf. Se trataba de unos pequeños brazaletes que según el fabricante les permitiría mejorar su estilo y, de hecho, Paco notó una considerable diferencia desde el primer día, apreciable a los ojos de todo el mundo. Roberto siguió con su surf de siempre, perdiendo los 35 euros invertidos.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>No es la primera vez que les ocurre algo parecido, ni mucho menos. Hace un par de años, Paco encontró una solución a un problema que también comparten: el mareo en barco. Siendo grandes aficionados a los deportes náuticos, las naúseas eran un inconveniente para ambos desde hacía años. A Paco le contaron un secreto para evitar el molesto mareo: cubrir el ombligo con un trozo de esparadrapo. El truco no tiene justificación ninguna, pero Paco no se marea desde entonces, mientras que Roberto sigue echando los restos por la borda a la primera ola que zarandea la embarcación.</p>
<p>Y lo mismo ocurrió con aquel carísimo tratamiento floral cuando estuvieron en Tailandia, con aquel remedio homeopático para evitar el jet-lag y hasta con el ionizador que ambos compraron para mejorar sus sueños. Paco siempre amortiza lo invertido; Roberto no hace más que tirar el dinero.</p>
<p>Lógicamente, el pobre Roberto comienza a estar un poco harto. Nunca ha creído en la mala suerte, pero cada vez está más convencido de que a pesar de su escepticismo, algo así debe existir y le ha tocado de lleno.</p>
<p><strong>Sugestión y sugestionabilidad</strong></p>
<p>El caso de Roberto y Paco, sin embargo, no es nada excepcional. Roberto es una persona a la que la Psicología calificaría como poco sugestionable,  mientras que Paco presenta una alta sugestionablilidad. Todos somos sugestionables, en mayor o menor medida y muchos de nosotros lo hemos comprobado en múltiples ocasiones: ¿quien no ha sentido nunca molestias tras leer una relación de síntomas de determinada enfermedad? ¿quien no ha tenido nunca un amuleto que llevaba a exámenes o acarreaba en sus viajes y que le hacía sentirse más seguro?.</p>
<p><a href="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hipnosis.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4272" style="margin-right:12px;" title="hipnosis" src="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hipnosis.jpg" alt="" width="211" height="244" /></a>Los efectos de la sugestión es algo que se conoce desde hace siglos, habiéndose constatado en innumerables ocasiones y tenido en cuenta desde antiguo por la práctica médica. Está comprobado que cuando a una persona le indicamos que vamos a suministrarle una medicación para su padecimiento, en un porcentaje significativo de los casos la persona mejora, aunque le suministremos simplemente agua con azucar sin poder terapéutico alguno. Esto es lo que se conoce como &#8220;efecto placebo&#8221;, y aunque sólo ahora estamos empezando a comprender su funcionamiento (Benedetti et al., 2005; Zubieta et al., 2005), está tan comprobada su existencia que siempre se toma en cuenta en el diseño de ensayos clínicos para probar cualquier medicamento.</p>
<p>Pero la sugestión o efecto placebo no se limita a las enfermedades. También podemos presentar una alta sugestionabilidad ante sucesos de la vida cotidiana, influyendo en aspectos tan variados como nuestra autovaloración, relaciones sociales, percepción, imaginación o estados emocionales (González &#38; Miguel, 1999).</p>
<p>¿Qué es lo que nos sugestiona? La respuesta a esta pregunta no es sencilla: desde estímulos externos (algo muy utilizado en la publicidad subliminal o las técnicas sectarias), hasta lo que en psicología se conoce como &#8220;autosugestión&#8221;, producida por estados o procesos propios. Esto hace que ante una prueba determinada, estemos sujetos tanto a la influencia del entorno (experimentador, decoración, sonidos..) como a nuestro propio estado de ánimo y convicciones. Esto lo saben muy bien muchas terapias alternativas y otras disciplinas pseudocientíficas, que comienzan asegurando que &#8220;es necesario creer&#8221; para que el tratamiento funcione.</p>
<p><strong>Ensayos clínicos y protocolos experimentales: como evitar el efecto placebo y otros sesgos.</strong></p>
<p>Al margen de lo comentado, un aspecto importante es la existencia de posibles causas ajenas al proceso que estamos investigando y que influyan en éste, lo que puede hacernos obtener una conclusión equivocada. Por ejemplo, una persona puede morir de infarto tras administrarle un determinado medicamento; sin embargo, las causas de este infarto pueden no esten relacionadas con el fármaco y que ambos sucesos hayan coincidido por azar.</p>
<p><a href="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ensayos_clinicos1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4273" title="ensayos_clinicos1" src="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ensayos_clinicos1.jpg" alt="" width="242" height="193" /></a>Debido a ello, cuando probamos algún producto sobre una población de estudio, solemos dividir ésta en dos grupos: un primer grupo recibe el tratamiento, mientras que un segundo grupo -llamado grupo de control- no recibe nada. Los resultados se registran en ambos grupos y se comparan entre sí, para averiguar si un posible efecto puede deberse al azar o a otras causas externas.</p>
<p>Ahora bien, tal y como comentábamos antes, el efecto de la sugestión propia o provocada debe ser tomado en cuenta a la hora de realizar un protocolo experimental, sea éste el ensayo de un medicamento o cualquier otro fenómeno y complementariamente a que utilicemos un grupo de control. Esto se debe al ya mencionado efecto placebo, que provoca mejores resultados si el sujeto sabe en que consiste la prueba que se le va a realizar.</p>
<p>Por otro lado, el propio investigador puede mostrar un sesgo subsconsciente, que le inclina a ver los resultados más favorables a su idea preconcebida y tender a despreciar o minimizar los contradictorios. Ha sido demostrado en numerosas ocasiones que sin tener una intención de manipular los datos, tendemos a &#8220;adaptarlos&#8221; a nuestras ideas preconcebidas.</p>
<div id="attachment_4279" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/w5449skl.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-4279" title="w5449skl" src="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/w5449skl.gif" alt="" width="450" height="345" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Muestra de sesgo en un estudio sobre la talla de peces</p></div>
<p>Por ello, los protocolos más rigurosos para diseñar ensayos experimentales incluyen lo que se denomina &#8220;método de doble ciego&#8221;. En ellos, se suministra el tratamiento real al grupo experimental, mientras que se suministra algo similar e indistinguible al grupo de control, pero que no produce ningún efecto. De esta manera, un individuo no sabe si está siendo tratado con el principio activo o simplemente con un placebo. El experimentador tampoco conoce si está administrando o registrando resultados de un sujeto tratado con el producto real o con un placebo, con lo que también se elimina la influencia o sesgo del investigador.</p>
<p><strong>La estadística como instrumento de evaluación de resultados</strong></p>
<p>Supongamos, tras administrar determinado tratamiento a 100 personas, que hemos medido resultados positivos en tres de ellas, mientras que en el grupo de control al que se le ha suministrado un placebo ha presentado 1 caso de mejoría entre 100. ¿Significa esto que el tratamiento es efectivo o tanto los tres positivos del primer grupo como los del control son simple azar? ¿y si los resultados son 30 éxitos en el primer grupo y 10 en el segundo?</p>
<p><a href="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/20080413121340-estadistica.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4274" style="margin-right:12px;" title="50985-07" src="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/20080413121340-estadistica.jpg?w=291" alt="" width="232" height="239" /></a>Es muy difícil, por no decir temerario, aventurarnos a establecer una conclusión sobre la efectividad de un mecanismo cuando las tasas de éxito no son escandalosamente mayoritarias. Afortunadamente, se han desarrollado métodos para poder analizar si estos números son significativos o si no podemos discernirlos del mero azar.</p>
<p>Por eso, cualquier estudio que consista en medir los efectos de determinado fenómeno sobre una población experimental, debe incorporar los análisis estadísticos necesarios que nos lleven a concluir si podemos considerar una ocurrencia superior a la que cabría esperar por azar.</p>
<p><strong>Un problema añadido: la correlación</strong></p>
<p>Por si todo lo mencionado hasta ahora no fueran dificultades suficientes, existe un fenómeno denominado correlación de variables que puede mimetizar los resultados de un experimento.</p>
<p>Utilizando la reducción al absurdo como ejemplo ilustrativo, supongamos que deseamos saber si los analfabetos comprenden la teoría de la relatividad más dificultosamente que la gente con estudios primarios. Para ello, establecemos dos grupos: uno de analfabetos y otros que finalizaron la enseñanza primaria. A ambos, les facilitamos un libro divulgativo sobre relatividad y les damos una semana de tiempo para que lo lean. Después, entrevistamos personalmente a todos los sujetos de ambos grupos preguntándoles cinco conceptos básicos de física relativista. Los resultados obtenidos dicen que la tasa de aciertos en analfabetos es inferior al 5%  mientras que en el otro grupo se aproxima al 50% .</p>
<p>¿Concluiríamos, a pesar de que estadísticamente fuera significativa la diferencia, que las personas que no saben leer tienen mucha más dificultad en comprender los conceptos básicos de relatividad? Obviamente, sería una conclusión errónea, dado que ninguno de los del grupo de analfabetos ha podido leer el libro. Lo que en realidad hemos comprobado es de perogrullo: los analfabetos no saben leer y los que han finalizado primaria sí.</p>
<p>Obviamente, sin tanta exageración como en el ejemplo, este fenómeno ocurre muchas veces en la naturaleza: diseñamos un experimento que en realidad está midiendo una variable distinta, aunque relacionada, de la que queremos estudiar.</p>
<div id="attachment_4283" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/image3.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-4283" title="image3" src="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/image3.gif" alt="Correlación entre peso corporal y frecuencia cardíaca máxima, mínima y promedio de la población estudiada" width="450" height="312" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Correlación entre peso corporal y frecuencia cardíaca máxima, mínima y promedio de la población estudiada (López-Fontana et.al, 2005)</p></div>
<p>Podríamos poner multitud de casos similares, aunque solo mencionaremos algunos de los más conocidos:</p>
<ul>
<li>Existe una elevada correlación positiva y significativa entre las ventas anuales de chicle y la incidencia del crimen en los Estados Unidos de América. (Obviamente, no es lícito concluir que prohibiendo la venta de chicle podría reducirse el crimen, pues ambas variables dependen de una tercera: el tamaño de la población analizada)</li>
<li>Estadísticamente, los diestros viven más años que los zurdos. (No corras a aprender a usar la mano derecha, la explicación es que las estadísticas también prueban que la mayor parte de los zurdos son jóvenes, dado que hace años, en las escuelas se insistía en que los zurdos aprendieran a usar la mano derecha).</li>
<li>Se ha documentado una correlación positiva y significativa entre el índice de divorcios de un país y sus importaciones de plátanos (aquí preferimos no hacer observaciones).</li>
</ul>
<p>Podemos ver que aunque una prueba nos demuestre que dos variables están relacionadas, carece de sentido concluir que también tiene que existir una relación causa-efecto entre ambas.</p>
<p><strong>El caso contrario: como aprovecharse de la sugestión, de los sesgos y de las correlaciones</strong></p>
<p>Dice el refrán popular: &#8220;Hecha la ley, hecha la trampa&#8221;. Y es que estas limitaciones de la experimentación son ampliamente utilizadas por timadores, pseudocientíficos y charlatanes de todas las categorías.</p>
<p><a href="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/charlatan.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4275" title="charlatan" src="http://cnho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/charlatan.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="308" /></a></p>
<p>Acabemos con un último ejemplo: supongamos que queremos estudiar la influencia de una pulsera holográfica en el equilibrio del cuerpo humano. ¿Bastaría con probar en una cena con 10 amigos, de los cuales 5 notan efectos y otros 5 no? ¿o incluso en la que los diez resultan gratamente beneficiados?. No podemos estar seguros de que los resultados se deban al entrenamiento, a la sugestión o a cualquier otra causa desconocida.</p>
<p>El diseño óptimo sería convocar una cena con 300 amigos. Sin que ninguno lo sepa, a 150 de ellos se les ha introducido en el bosillo el holograma, y a los otros una simple chapa del mismo material sin grabar. Se hace la prueba aduciendo de que se trata de un nuevo y divertido juego,  sin que el que anota los resultados sepa quien lleva el holograma y quien la chapita vacía. A continuación, se analiza si las diferencias entre ambos grupos -en caso de haberlas- son estadísticamente significativas o no.</p>
<p>¿Parece demasiado complicado? Sinceramente, pensemos si no lo es más gastarnos el dinero o incluso jugar con nuestra salud en base a cuatro testimonios y a unos &#8220;protocolos&#8221; que son completamente inadecuados.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Llevo tiempo de escuchar la música de <a title="Página Placebo" href="http://placeboworld.co.uk/" target="_blank">Placebo</a> y uno de los videos que me gustó desde la primera vez que lo ví fue el de Song To Say Goodbye. Pero no fue hasta hace un mes o algo así cuando una amiga me dijo que había un video que era un poco más extenso de la misma canción, de hecho es el mismo video pero con escenas que no se muestran en el video oficial. La verdad para mí fue una sorpresa.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/13HnYhiE7xU&#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/13HnYhiE7xU&#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>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Gerade noch in der Arena&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>&#8230; und jetzt schon wieder vor dem Computer &#8211; Wunderwelt der Technik. Brian Molko und seine Kollegen haben ein großes Konzert mit mieser Akustik gegeben. Für die Akustik in der Leipziger Sportarena konnten sie nichts, die ist immer so. Es entschädigten die Titel: Das neue Album &#8220;Battle for the Sun&#8221; hoch und runter gespielt, alte Kracher, und die Rede ist hier nicht allein von &#8220;Every you, every me&#8221;, sondern auch von &#8220;Meds&#8221; und  &#8220;Infrared&#8221; etc. etc. Das Publikum ging begeistert mit, große Augen bei kleinen, blonden Frauen, als Placebo die Bühne betreten, erschütterte große Männer, als die ersten Riffs erklingen. Molko hatte tatsächlich einen Deutschkurs belegt &#8211; offenbar war er der Streber seines Kurses. Flackernde Lichtershow und eine Placebo-<a href="http://filmfestival.placeboworld.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kurzfilmfestival</a> zur Überbrückung der Umbauarbeiten. Die kam nicht ganz so gut an, wie die Jungs das vielleicht gehofft hatten. Nach &#8220;Expatriates&#8221;, der Vorband, dürstete den Fans eben nach Musik, die nicht wie U2 und Simple Minds klingt. Das ist nachvollziehbar. Wer einen genaueren Eindruck vom Konzert haben möchte, kann <a href="http://twitter.com/szkultur" target="_blank">hier</a> unseren Twitter-Stream nachlesen. Ansonsten steht am Montag eine kurze Rezension in der Sächsischen Zeitung. Wir wünschen gut zu ruhen und betten unsere müden Knochen &#8211; till the bitter End.</p>

<description><![CDATA[#69: Placebo/Black Market Music (2000) &#8212; the decade started with Placebo&#8217;s third album. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>#69: Placebo/Black Market Music (2000) &#8212; the decade started with Placebo&#8217;s third album. I love the swagger they return with on &#8216;Taste in Men,&#8217; it sets the tone for the record and shows the band weren&#8217;t just going to be one album wonders with &#8216;Pure Morning,&#8217; and &#8216;Every You, Every Me,&#8217; off of <em>Without You&#8230;</em> Melding their glam influences (sex, drugs, rock n&#8217; roll) with a more straightforward sound and Brian Molko&#8217;s lyricism &#8212; which now expored more diverse fare (racism, religion, dysfunction). Check out: &#8216;Passive Aggressive,&#8217; &#8216;Black-Eyed,&#8217; &#8216;Haemoglobin.&#8217;</p>
<p>#68: Silversun Pickups/Carnavas (2006) &#8212; it&#8217;s interesting how I got turned on to these guys. I&#8217;d actually just started with R.S. and we were analyzing/comparing sales figures from Cold War Kids first record to SSPU. Two completely different bands with two paths in the indie-hipster world. I think SSPU&#8217;s are a bit more Americanized with the shoegazer freakouts and the comparison to the Pumpkins and, well heck, radio-friendly. A solid album from start to finish from an SP fan who thinks duplication with an update is the sincerest form of flattery. Check out: &#8216;Well Thought-Out Twinkles,&#8217; &#8216;Rusted Wheel,&#8217; and &#8216;Three Seed.&#8217;</p>
<p>#67: Kings of Leon/Only By The Night (2008) &#8212; this was the album that KOL officially traded in their indie/hipster rock credits for bonafide American crossover acceptance, something they&#8217;d been gunning for since the beginning of their career. But let&#8217;s face it, they weren&#8217;t ready for it until now. They needed to find the right production (which now paired up the duo of Angelo Petraglia and Jacquire King) and continue in the flow of 2007&#8217;s <em>Because of the Times.</em> The result was their first (well deserved) Grammy. Check out: &#8216;Closer,&#8217; &#8216;Sex on Fire,&#8217; and &#8216;Use Somebody.&#8217;</p>
<p>#66: Coheed &#38; Cambria/No World for Tomorrow (2007) &#8212; though Sony&#8217;s decision to put the regular version of this album in a simple slip-sleeve and sell it to fans was appaling to me, I dealt with it on the musical level foremost. C&#38;C came into their own on this album (with little known fact, Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters fame, recorded skins on this record). It&#8217;s easy to draw Rush comparisons to this band, but when you get over that &#8216;hump,&#8217; you realized these guys have the chops and a little updated nostalgia never hurt anyone. There&#8217;s still some killer riffs and solo&#8217;s any guitar geek would fawn over. Check out: &#8220;Feathers,&#8221; &#8220;The Running Free,&#8221; and &#8220;Mother Superior.&#8221;</p>
<p>#65: Thrice/The Artist &#38; The Ambulance (2003) &#8212; 2003 was a bit of difficult year in terms of my focus in Thrice and the genre they represented at the time. This was also the same year as AFI&#8217;s <em>Sing the Sorrow</em>, Brand New&#8217;s <em>Deja Entendu</em>, Story of the Year&#8217;s <em>Park Ave</em>, and the Senses Fail &#8230;<em>Depths of Dreams</em> EP. It probably wasn&#8217;t until the middle of 2005, rolling into a Denny&#8217;s at the wee hours that I recognized the power of this album. It still shocks me the growth this band has exhibited over the past decade, really coming into their own. If you&#8217;re looking for the concrete to build a foundation though, this is the one. Amidst jagged guitars there are great signs of life here and a punk spirit alive and well within a bonafide rock band. Check out: &#8216;Under a Killing Moon,&#8217; &#8216;All That&#8217;s Left,&#8217; and &#8216;The Artist in the Ambulance.&#8217;</p>
<p>#64: Cure/4:13 Dream (2008) &#8212; it&#8217;s entirely possible this album could rest inside my decade top 100 on the strength of the atmospherics of the first track alone. &#8216;Underneath the Stars,&#8217; is everything a Cure fan has come to know and expect. After the trainwreck of the self-titled 2004 Ross Robinson (Slipknot, Korn) produced effort, it honestly did take four years to right the ship, strip down and return to the glory of where the decade took shape with 2000&#8217;s <em>Bloodflowers</em>. While my boy JB hates &#8216;The Only One,&#8217; for being too pop &#8211; it&#8217;s exactly what was so great about Wish-era Cure and F-U-N! &#8216;The Reasons Why&#8217; was an extremely dark song that spoke to me in a very dark time. For their 13th album, 4:13 Dream is a homerun and Cure fans should rejoice&#8230; Check out: &#8216;Underneath the Stars,&#8217; &#8216;The Only One,&#8217; and &#8216;This. Here and Now. With You.&#8217;</p>
<p>#63: Black Keys/Attack &#38; Release (2008) &#8212; The Black Keys finally came into their own on this release, thanks to some great songwriting and some exciting production by Dangermouse. Such great atmospherics amidst the blues rock here. Check out: &#8216;I Got Mine,&#8217; &#8216;Lies,&#8217; and &#8216;So He Won&#8217;t Break.&#8217;</p>
<p>#62: In Flames/A Sense of Purpose (2008) &#8212; The string of 2008 releases continues as Swedish metal act In Flames hit the countdown with their most commercially accessible album (number nine studio album, for those keeping score at home) to date, though a far cry sales wise from 06&#8217;s <em>Come Clarity</em> album. This album is so chock full of that good old driving European death metal sound, thrash and some fantastic keyboards along with some of the cleanest vocals by Anders Friden to date. Check out: &#8216;Sleepless Again,&#8217; &#8216;I&#8217;m the Highway,&#8217; and &#8216;Delight and Angers.&#8217;</p>
<p>#61: Metallica/Death Magnetic (2008) &#8212; from the opening strings of the opening track and the packaging, a Metallica fan knows something is different about this album that wasn&#8217;t there over the past 10-15 years. Their first official studio release with Trujillo in the fold and Rick Rubin producing, the well-oiled metal machine that is Metallica is back and on top of its game. The Bay Area Thrashers are back, cleaner and angrier than ever and ready to give us some serious whiplash. Check out: &#8216;That Was Just Your Life,&#8217; &#8216;Broken Beat and Scarred,&#8217; and &#8216;My Apocalypse.&#8217;</p>
<p>#60: Death from Above 1979/You&#8217;re a Woman, I&#8217;m a Machine (2004) &#8212; perhaps the best workout album of the decade. Seriously, I discovered these guys on a lark as I noticed they were supporting NIN on their <em>With Teeth</em> tour and I wanted to check them out. I&#8217;m glad I did. While their tenure in the decade was short (splintering off into MSTRKRFT and Sebastian Grainger, respectively), <em>You&#8217;re a Woman&#8230;</em> was one of the most unique sounding punk meets industrial albums to ever come to fruition. They even use cowbell. Check out: &#8216;Going Steady,&#8217; &#8216;Black History Month&#8217; and &#8216;Sexy Results.&#8217;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>#89: Snow Patrol/Final Straw (2004) &#8212; I&#8217;ve never seen Snow Patrol live, but if there was ever an album that seemed fit for both clubs and arenas in would be <em>Final Straw</em>.  This isn&#8217;t even a &#8216;happy,&#8217; record either. But the examination of self and relationships through the lyricism is phenomenal against it&#8217;s companion soundtrack. Check out: &#8216;How to Be Dead,&#8217; &#8216;Chocolate,&#8217; and &#8216;Run.&#8217;</p>
<p>#88: Local H/Whatever Happened to PJ Soles? (2004) &#8212; Local H are like a gust from the Windy City. No two-man rocks as hard as this duo &#8211; unless you count anything Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin did between 2001-2007. This album is probably the nadir of their career, deftly spinning their brand of straight up guitar rock with a rare pop sensibility. Check out choice cuts &#8216;California Songs,&#8217; &#8216;Heaven on the Way Down,&#8217; and &#8216;Halycon Days.&#8217;</p>
<p>#87: Wednesday 13/Transylvania 90210 (2005) &#8212; Two things that go together like peanut butter and jelly are punk music and horror (see The Misfits, The Horrors, The Cramps). I discovered these guys through Slipknot &#8211;&#62; Murderdolls &#8211;&#62; Wednesday 13. This started out being my fun, guilty pleasu&#8230;re record of &#8216;05. But four years later and I&#8217;m still giggling. Check out &#8216;I Walked With A Zombie,&#8217; the title track and &#8216;Buried by Christmas.&#8217; &#8212; featuring the great lyric: &#8216;All I want for Christmas is a custom-fit casket, with black velvet interior&#8230;oh yeah, and a bucket of chicken&#8230;&#8217;</p>
<p>#86: Placebo/Battle for the Sun (2009) &#8212; this is, hands down, my favorite band of the decade. Entering at #86, this year&#8217;s album sees the departure of drummer Steve Hewitt. Continuing in the polished vein of 2006&#8217;s <em>MEDS</em> album, it would seem the band has found it&#8217;s niche in alterna-rock culture. More songs for boys like me with hearts on their sleeves. Check out: &#8216;Bright Lights,&#8217; &#8216;Happy You&#8217;re Gone,&#8217; and &#8216;Kings of Medicine.&#8217;</p>
<p>#85: Sponge/The Man (2005) &#8212; These guys have been rockin&#8217; hard for over a decade and a half. Their post-grunge, Detroit sound can be simplifed &#8212; it&#8217;s just damn good rock n roll. 05&#8217;s <em>The Man</em> was/is their hardest rocking album to date, takes no prisoners, and makes you wanna bang your head with an uncanny sensibility for hooks. Check out: &#8216;The Man,&#8217; &#8216;Feels Like Love,&#8217; and &#8216;Shittier Day Than Me.&#8217;</p>
<p>#84: Longwave/Secrets are Sinister (2008) &#8212; I remember seeing these guys at Valentine&#8217;s (1st Floor) with about 10-15 other people back in support of their 2003 debut and thinking, &#8216;these guys are gonna be big!&#8217; Well, the band has taken the road less travelled and have kind of missed the mainstream success I initially expected. Has stopped them from putting out albums, though. I think this is the best, most cohesive album of the three in five years. Perhaps it was usage of producer Peter Katis (Interpol) or just stronger songwriting. Imagine Radiohead met the Strokes and you get the picture without the squonks. Check out: &#8216;No Direction,&#8217; &#8216;Satellites,&#8217; and &#8216;I Don&#8217;t Dare.&#8217;</p>
<p>#83: Ryan Adams/RocknRoll (2003) &#8212; the second entry for Ryan on my countdown. Yes he&#8217;s prolific, and yes one could fairly compare him to Neil Young. This album was exactly what it embodied &#8211; Rock N Roll. I remember this ablum from a number of road trips and it&#8217;s a great driving record. Perfect&#8230;parts throwback, perfect parts garage rock. Check out (though buying the album is well worth it): &#8216;So Alive,&#8217; &#8216;Note to Self: Don&#8217;t Die,&#8217; and &#8216;1974.&#8217;</p>
<p>#82: Alice in Chains/Black Gives Way to Blue (2009): sure, there have been bands who have been more prolific in the past 10 years, but who freakin&#8217; cares? No disrespect to Staley, but as a cohesive, fantastic sounding album from track-to-track, this AIC release takes the cake! Some of Cantrell&#8217;s best writing. Check out: (one of the best tracks this year) &#8216;Check My Brain,&#8217; &#8216;Your Decision,&#8217; and &#8216;Private Hell.&#8217;</p>
<p>#81: Queens of the Stone Age/Era Vulgaris (2007) &#8212; After a disappointing 2005 release, I&#8217;d wondered if the loss of Nick Oliveri would do the Queens in. But Josh Homme was in one of the greatest stoner bands of all time! This is a trippy album that took me time to get into and it came at the end of 2007 when I realized how damn good (and diverse) the album was. Check out: &#8216;Misfit Love,&#8217; &#8216;Sick, Sick, Sick&#8217; and &#8216;Make It Witchu.&#8217;</p>
<p>#80: Pearl Jam/Backspacer (2009) &#8212; fourth studio album of the decade, but first in 13 years with Brendan O&#8217;Brien. This is the PJ I know and love. The band with a mission on it&#8217;s record to rock fast with abandon while at the same time writing songs with a sensibility to them. The other three albums over the past 10 years lacked a consistent theme. To some that was considered cool. Sometimes I like straight lines in my album rock. Check out: &#8216;The Fixer,&#8217; &#8216;Unthought Known,&#8217; and &#8216;Just Breathe.&#8217;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Certa vez ouvi a história de rei que, em função de diversos problemas que enfrentava em seu reino e em sua vida particular, pedirá a todos os sábios de seu reino que criassem uma mensagem para ser grafada em um de seus anéis, que o acompanharia dia e noite.<br />
O rei desejava que tal frase o trouxesse consolo nos momentos de tristeza e angústia, mas que também trouxesse humildade nos momentos de felicidade e vitória.<br />
Os sábios passaram meses apresentando possíveis frases ao Rei, que as avaliava, mas ainda não mostrava-se satisfeito com as mensagens.<br />
Até que um dia, um dos sábios apresentou-o a seguinte frase:<br />
<strong><em>“Tudo vai passar”.</em></strong><br />
O rei então satisfeitíssimo mandou recompensar o sábio autor da frase e, então, registrou-a em seu anel, e passou a refletir sobre ela em todos os momentos de sua vida.</p>
<p><a href="http://meninosmeninas.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tudo_vai_passar.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-241" title="tudo_vai_passar" src="http://meninosmeninas.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tudo_vai_passar.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Então meus amigos, resolvi postar essa historia para vocês porque eu estou vivendo momentos de felicidade e isso está refletindo no blog que até parece uma novela da minha vida amorosa privada rsrs &#8230; Mas para o bem ou para o mal tudo passa, tudo vai passar e é bom termos isso em mente e aproveitar o momento &#8230;</p>
<p>Bom final de semana e feriado para todos e deixo vocês com <strong>Passive Agressive</strong> do<strong> Placebo</strong>, uma letra forte de<em> Brian Molko</em> que fala tanto de abrir o coração para Deus entrar ou para um amor.</p>

<description><![CDATA[astăzi, leilana a dat o fugă până în oraş pentru a-şi achiziţiona prin intermediul unei bune prieten]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>astăzi, leilana a dat o fugă până în oraş pentru a-şi achiziţiona prin intermediul unei bune prietene un nou album placebo, adică o compilaţie, şi până la urmă a sfârşit prin a-şi achiziţiona două, pentru că s-a dus şi la <a href="http://moneyexpress.money.ro/articles/multicol/19226">&#8220;off the record&#8221;</a>, iar dacă mergi la &#8220;off the record&#8221;, eşti iubitor de muzică şi ai bani cash sau pe card, e imposibil să pleci fără să iei ceva. </p>
<p>după aia, am ajuns într-o farmacie, şi, în timp ce aşteptam să îmi dea farmacista produsul cerut, mă holbam pe rafturi la colanţii ăia care cică te slăbesc. interesant e că gagicile care apar pe ambalaje sunt suple. iar eu îmi şi imaginam duduile complexate de aspectul lor fizic uitându-se la ambalaje cu ochi flămânzi şi gândind că aşa vor arăta şi ele. ce glumă bună. hahaha.</p>
<p>asta plus cadoul pentru maman, plus plata medicamentelor pe care le iau lunar, plus datoria pe care o am la o colegă, plus plata pe care o voi face pentru investigaţiile la ochi, plus abonamentul de metrou, plus abonamentul de ratb pe care mi-l voi face, plus cele două concerte pe care le am în plan mă aduc la sublima concluzie că va trebui să amân din nou făcutul ochelarilor. da! dar cine mai are acum &#8220;without you i&#8217;m nothing&#8221; cumpărat de la &#8220;off the record&#8221;, huh???</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://brzozaw.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/408641.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-618 alignleft" title="408641" src="http://brzozaw.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/408641.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="180" height="180" /></a>P</strong>lacebo się moim zdaniem zatrzymało na „Meds”, na którym de facto nie było nic nowego, a raczej powielanie schematów, co w przypadku zespołu tworzącego tak dziwną muzykę jest zabójcze. Przed sesją do nowego albumu „Battle For The Sun” z zespołu odszedł po 9 latach &#8211; Steve Hewitt. Perkusista, którego zawsze mi się miło słuchało, więc spodziewałem się, że będzie jedna, wielka, dupa wołowa i kości na rosół.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>P</strong>łyty słuchałem jakiś czas temu,  podobało mi się„Julien” i kilka innych numerów. Ostatnio nie wiedziałem za co się wziąć, a Adam mi dupe truł, że sobie ściągnął dyskografie Placków i lansi teraz, że zna Bitter End <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  No i tak jakoś sobie przypomniałem o płytce no i wiadomo musi być dokładniej odsłuchana i zrecenzowana ;]</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>P</strong>rzede wszystkim w oczy(uszy) rzuca się fakt, że nareszcie jest inaczej. W przykładowym „Kitty Litter” jakiś chórek się pojawia, co u kogo jak u kogo, ale u Molko bym się tego nie spodziewał. To nie koniec niespodzianek, bo piosenka numer 4 ma bardzo ciekawie zrealizowaną pauzę i przejście. Widać, że zespół szuka nowych rozwiązań. Na płycie brakuje nut pokroju: „Special Needs” czy „Protect Me From What I Want” (i celowo nie wymieniam tu piosenek z WYIMN).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Zdarzają się nawiązania do drugiego albumu, bo nikt mi nie wmówi, że tytułowy „Battle For The Sun” nie brzmi podobnie do „Pure Morning”,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>C</strong>o mnie rozbawiło, motyw z „Speak In Tongues” przypomina mi piosenkę „&#8230;w moim magicznym domu&#8230;” <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Może denerwować, że większość refrenów opiera się na waleniu po instrumentach, ale jak się słyszy „Happy You&#8217;re Gone” to stany stresowe odchodzą w niepamięć.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>F</strong>aworytem jeśli chodzi o może nie najlepszą, ale największą piosenką na longplayu pozostaje „Julien”. To jest utwór, który łączy wszystko to co mają Placki w sobie najlepsze, w dodatku dodając powiew świeżości.  <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#38;">No i bym zapomniał – Molko, facet jest niesamowity, niedługo dobije do 40-tki, a wokal dalej taki jak przy nagrywaniu pierwszego krążka. Szacun.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Z</strong>awsze czepiałem się „Meds”, że gdzieś już to słyszałem. Jeśli chodzi o „Battle For The Sun” to będę mógł posłuchać innego spojrzenia Briana na muzykę jego zespołu. I co mnie bardzo cieszy – nie będę musiał szukać „odpowiedników” do piosenek z poprzednich krążków. Jeśli najdzie mnie ochota na „Special K” to sobie włączę „Special K”, a nie jakieś „Special Z”, które generalnie brzmi tak samo, tylko nieco nazwę ma inną.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em> No i posłuchajcie „Kings Of Medicine” ! Słyszeliście takie Placebo?</em></p>
<h2><span style="color:#000000;">Ocena: 7,5/10</span></h2>
