A topic debated for decades now. Personally, I’d give the edge to Pearl Jam. They just keep producing albums and never seem to sell out. Nirvana, on the other hand, is overrated. Granted they pretty much helped kick open the doors publicly to grunge, their music isn’t as good as PJ’s. The overall consensus leans towards Nirvana however. I guess another poll for another time would be “Would Nirvana be considered the Top Grunge Band if Kurt Cobain Never blew his brains out??????”   Think about it. Anyways, it would have been nice to see a dangerous performance lastnight at the American Music Awards, but I was let down again of yet another year of lackluster hip-hop lip sync acts. I’m wearing my worn down flannel shirt right now…peace out….

#189 – Pearl Jam – “Daughter” – (1993)

The beginning sounds a little like a Sheryl Crow song, but then Eddie Vedder starts singing and you know it’s definitely not Sheryl Crow. This song, from Vs., is more mainstream-radio friendly than any of the big hits from Ten – and that’s probably why I remember it better than the also-excellent “Jeremy” or “Even Flow.”

Drinking wine all night while busting out 30+ song setlists almost in every concert is something that Eddie Vedder has been doing for nearly 2 decades. Arguably the best frontman and vocalist of our era, one has to forgive him when he practically reuses the same guitar progression from both “Just Breathe” off of the Pearl Jam’s new album ‘Backspacer’ and then forhis solo album for ‘Into the Wild’ with the song “Tuolomne”. Nonetheless, both amazing songs, but I’d give the edge to “Just Breathe”

Lower Mainland / Fraser Valley Rivers

Vedder Chilliwack… Fishing in the V/C is as good as we’ve seen in nearly a decade. The recent rains have changed things a bit but that shouldn’t keep anyone away. The big springs, coho and chum are running very strong on all areas of the river system. Anglers are experiencing unbelieveable days with some beautiful chome hatchery coho being landed. Gear anglers using roe, wool and spinners are doing very well. For swinging flies we suggest muddlers, egg sucking leeches, and christmas trees (green or blue) for coho, and purple patters for the chum. We’ve really loaded up on salmon flies so be sure to drop in on your way.

Norrish (Suicied) Creek… Fishing exceptionally well for coho. Chums are c&r only.

Stave… The Stave is certainly not disappointing. Coho and chum are coming up in fantastic numbers. Their are opportunities for both gear and fly anglers alike.

Harrison… Superb!!! Salmon runs are phenominal and cutthroat on the fly has seen 21+ inchers in recent days. Our RFT Fish Outs will be focusing the next few weeks on this system. Come join us!

Fraser… The main stem of the Fraser has been providing outstanding salmon and sturgeon opportunities. Usually the fortgotten sister when things heat up on the tributaries, the Fraser should not be discounted by any means. Pegleg is poor right now while most of the other bars are fishing very very well.

Little Campbell… Fishing very well for coho and springs.

Skagit… An amazing year for the Skagit. Lots of big bullies were brought in for photo opportunities. This is still an option for fly fisherman looking to get one last fix before the system closes midnight October 31st. The bullies are fond of big food items so large leeches, wooly buggers and rolled muddlers are good options. Bows will still take dries, emergers and a swung caddis.

Lower Mainland / Fraser Valley Lakes

The cooler Fall weather really opens up some local opportunities as the holiday crowd have departed and anglers can move in.

For urban opportunities check out Mill, Green Timbers, and Lafarge. Mill has been fishing really well on black micro leeches and chironomids.

Some valley lakes worth checking out include Rolley, Allouette, Grace, Wolf, Mike, Buntzen, Ross, Kawkawa and Jones.

For gear you can’t really go wrong with wedding bands and worms. Take the kids out to a dock and jig with a grub – lots of fun!

BC Interior

Morgan has been fishing really, with Tunkwa and Logan also providing some good Fall fishing. On the fly micro leeches (olive, and black/red) , K-marts, pumpkin heads, and scuds. For gear hot shots and quick fish are doing well.

My heart actually skipped a beat, my ears pricked, breath held for a while when I got a msg from my cousin:

hey u heard right

pearl jam
http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/articles/20091014090419/Article/index_html

Whoaa… I almost freaked out. I felt… light, happy, like Providence finally a nice gift for me! Even though it’s right now kind of a “might”, “maybe” thing and a million things could come and fuck it up, like PAS Youth declaring the band will corrupt the youth and get them barred from entering or imposing stupid restrictions that’ll turn the band off this country for 3 lifetimes… I still felt, wow, there is nothing like the present that is full of open doors of opportunities…

Lol.

I immediately Googled Ed Ved for a little evening fix.

Okay just add a bit more scruffiness and a bit more weight, and he looks practically the same today

The last I checked last week, Rock Corner still hasn’t brought in Backspacer the new album. Curse you, currrseee you Rock Corner. I’ll go check it again today.

Gotta love the artwork. Gotta love Pearl Jam!

Melihat header custom di atas itu?? Ya mereka Pearl Jam. Dan kenapa saya memberi kehormatan kepada mereka untuk berada di atas situ? Ceritanya panjang, tapi saya akan berusaha menyingkat dengan keterbatasan saya dalam menyampaikan cerita .

Saya kenal dengan mereka saat saya duduk di bangku SMA kelas 2 di sebuah kota kecil, sekitar tahun 90 gitu lah. Saat itu sebenernya musik yang biasa saya dengarkan bukan dari genre mereka. Saya lebih nyaman mendengarkan Metallica dan teman-temannya. Tapi saya tidak bisa menolak besarnya godaan, ketika di salah satu artikel sebuah majalah remaja pria, disebutkan bahwa mereka luar biasa hebat dan nggak kalah dengan Nirvana yang satu genre. Pada waktu itu saya sudah punya album nevermind dari Nirvana yang saya dapatkan saat berkunjung ke rumah saudara di Jakarta, dan saya termasuk orang yang suka akan musik mereka. Jadi melihat artikel dari majalah tersebut, membuat saya benar-benar penasaran dan ingin membeli kasetnya. Tapi apa daya, saya hanya hidup di kota kabupaten, yang kebanyakan toko kasetnya lebih banyak menjual Tommy Page dan sejenisnya. Akhirnya dengan sedikit tekad baja, saya pergi ke Semarang yang menghabiskan 2 jam perjalanan. Akhirnya saya temukan juga kaset yang saya cari.

Ternyata perjuangan saya tidak sia-sia. Saya mendapatkan musik yang menurut saya luar biasa. Dan sejak itu saya memutuskan untuk mencintai Pearl jam.

Dulu saat saya kuliah, tiada pagi dan sore hari saya tanpa teriakannya Eddie Vedder. Teman-teman satu kos bahkan sempat komplain karena bosan. Tapi ya gimana lagi? Karena saya bukan sekedar suka, tapi butuh.

Ada satu fase dalam kehidupan saya yang akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk tidak lagi mendengarkan mereka. Karena saat mendengar suara khas Eddie, saya langsung teringat akan perasaan sedih yang luar biasa yang pernah saya alami. Jadi ternyata yang menyukai mereka tidak hanya saya, tapi buah hati saya, yang saat itu usianya masih terhitung bulan. Saat saya berdua dengan buat hati saya ini, Icha namanya, karena ibunya ada suatu keperluan ke luar rumah, anak saya ini akan berhenti menangis dan tertidur saat mendengar Eddie menyanyikan Last Kiss yang saya putarkan untuk dia. Dulu saya pikir karena kebetulan, tapi ternyata tidak. Anak saya seperti terlena ketika mendengar lagu itu hehehe. Dan ketika anak saya dipanggil oleh Tuhan saat berumur 6 bulan, sejak saat itu saya berhenti mendengarkan Pearl jam. Dan baru beberapa tahun kemudian saya memberanikan diri kembali untuk memutar lagunya.

Dan saat ini saya jatuh hati kembali kepada mereka. Saya butuh suntikan semangat yang luar biasa. dan itu banyak saya dapatkan dari lagu-lagu mereka.

Untuk itulah mereka saat ini saya pasang di header.

I am adopting kittens. Two tiny furball brothers. And though this might seem entirely unrelated to the usual brokenbranches banter, it is not. You see, when time came to name these two little fellas I automatically looked for references in the music domain. 

I weighed several options (Simon & Garfunkel? Bo & Diddley? Daft & Punk?), but there really wasn’t much competition for the final choice: Eddie and Thom, who’ve been with me since high school. Eddie the kitten is a bit of a daredevil, falling off sofas and getting into more trouble than his siblings. Thom the kitten is a more introspective chap and dare I say clumsy, but he does like to explore his surroundings.

As it happens, the real Eddie and Thom have both been very productive the last week and produced some fresh tracks. Pearl Jam have just uploaded The Fixer, first single for upcoming album Backspacer to their myspace. Thom Yorke performed solo at the Latitude Festival, looking particularly scruffy by the by, and sang a new song called The Present Tense . 
I do hope my two boys turn out to be as entertaining as their namesakes!

Pearl Jam – The Fixer

Thom Yorke – The Present Tense

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 18 years since we first heard that unmistakeable voice of Eddie Vedder, and they keep pushing ‘em out, and they keep amazing me. It all started with that album that still rocks my disc player to this day, Ten; there’s not a single bad song on it and for me , that’s hard to come by. Since then, they have managed to produce a new album every couple years on average with the newest one releasing September 20, 2009 titled Backspacer, Pearl Jam’s first self released album. They are also touring mostly the West Coast starting in their home town of Seattle the day after, a few in California and ending in Philidelphia in October, but sorry, they’re already sold out at all venues.

The list of tracks on the album include:

Gonna See My Friend
Got Some
The Fixer
Johnny Guitar
Just Breathe
Amongst the Waves
Unthought Known
Supersonic
Speed of Sound
Force of Nature
The End

It will be a pleasure to my ears, I’m sure.

Les vacances sont pour moi l’occasion de me faire des piles de cd pour tailler la route. Cette année, je suis parti avec quelques disques sympas mais celui qui me scotche, celui qui me fait vraiment voyager intérieurement, c’est la BO de Into the Wild, le film magnifique et poignant de Sean Penn.

Composée par Eddie Vedder, le chanteur de Pearl Jam, le score magnifie les images superbes du réalisateur au profil d’aigle royal. La voix d’Eddie m’a toujours envoyé dans la stratosphère. Quoiqu’en pensent les critiques rocks qui aiment tant s’essuyer les godasses sur Pearl Jam, ce groupe est tout de même un momument du rock US. Mais bien sûr, Vedder n’est pas mort à 27 ans…

Pour Into the Wild, Vedder a composé une série de titres folks atmosphérique hyper planants qui cadrent super bien avec le parcours de Christopher McCandless. C’est beau, triste, sauvage, dur, mélancolique, jubilatoire et voila surtout de vraies chansons dont devraient s’inspirer les insupportables arrivistes du revival folk.

Mais le mieux est toujours de retrouver Eddie et sa voix de velours côtelé rapeux  et de se laisser aller à la rêverie…et surtout, surtout, procurez vous le dvd du film, le film le plus émouvant que j’ai vu depuis “Le Vent se lève” de Ken Loach !

Le trailer du film :

“Society”, un extrait de la BO :

I’m old. It’s true.

I’m old enough to be that guy that says things like, “I remember when MTV played music videos”.

So far I’ve lived through 8-tracks, records, cassettes, CDs and into the digital age.

Old.

I had an apple IIc…I think I still do, as a matter of fact. I remember black and white TVs, and life before cable or VCRs.

I remember flash cubes, and a little something called the Kodak Disc.

I remember the original versions of all the TV shows and movies being remade these days.

I remember being afraid of the nuclear bomb…(looks like even that’s getting a remake, thanks S. Korea)

I lived through both Bush presidencies, and remember Coke before it was Classic.

I mean, I remember when MTV played music videos.

More specifically, I remember watching videos on MTV during those lovely high school years–riddled with all the angst a Gen Xer could muster up, for reasons still unclear to me.

I remember coming home late at night, sometimes drunk, sometimes not. Sometimes buzzing from potential love, other times, unable to sleep because something didn’t happen, and I wasn’t sure what.

Whatever the reason, I was awake, and they hadn’t invented the internet yet.

That’s when I’d turn on MTV and watch a little show called 120 minutes. This was my education. This delivered me from hair bands, and bubble gum pop.

I’d watch videos from The Jesus and Mary Chain, Bronski Beat, New Order, The Replacements, School of Fish, Trashcan Sinatras, Robyn Hitchcock, KMFDM, Kate Bush, Echo and the Bunnymen, Erasure, Ministry, Sonic Youth, Violent Femmes, Blake Babies, Happy Mondays, Morrissey, Kitchens of Distinction, They Might Be Giants, and Hüsker Dü…

I could go on for days listing the alt.bands of yesteryear…The type of band that was once described as “college radio”, but would now be saddled with the horrible genre label “indie.” It’s a far cry from what I listen to these days, but it’s what got me to where I am now. It taught me what being alternative meant.

I mean, jesus …it introduced me to grunge. It introduced me to Nirvana and Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam…(mad props to Eddie Vedder for not overdosing and/or being dead)

It opened me up to a culture that sat just below the surface of the mainstream, at least for a little while…

Any time I stumble across a song on youtube from this era, I can’t help but pause and listen. I close my eyes and remember my youth. I remember a young, nearly optimistic kid getting his mind blown by something completely new…before I got old and started fearing change.

It almost makes me feel indestructible for a minute or two.

So in honor of that, here’s this:

and this:

and what the hell, here’s this:

Eddie Vedder – Biography

Eddie Vedder

Private Life

Eddie Vedder wurde am 23.12.1964 als Edward Louis Severson III in Evanston/Illinois, einem Vorort von Chicago, geboren. Seine Eltern sind Karen Lee Vedder und der Musiker Edward Louis Severson Jr. Die beiden lassen sich jedoch scheiden, als Eddie gerade mal ein Jahr alt ist. Wenig später heiratet Karen Lee den Anwalt Peter Mueller, den Eddie lange Zeit für seinen leiblichen Vater hält. Mitte der 70er Jahre zieht er mit seinen Eltern und seinen drei jüngeren Halbbrüdern von Illinois nach San Diego/Kalifornien, wo er die San Dieguito High School besucht.

Als Eddie ein Teenager ist, lässt sich seine Mutter von Mueller scheiden und kehrt mit seinen drei Halbbrüdern nach Illinois zurück. Eddie entscheidet sich, bei seinem Stiefvater in San Diego zu bleiben, um die High School nicht wechseln zu müssen.

Kurz nach der Scheidung erfährt Eddie, dass nicht Mueller sein leiblicher Vater ist, sondern Severson. Diesen hat er in jungen Jahren einmal kennen gelernt – jedoch in dem Glauben, dass er lediglich ein Freund seiner Eltern sei. Tragischer Weise hat Eddie keine Chance mehr, seinen biologischen Vater kennen zu lernen, da Severson mittlerweile an Multipler Sklerose verstorben ist.

Das ohnehin schon schlechte Verhältnis zu seinem Stiefvater gerät ab dem Zeitpunkt endgültig ins Stocken. Eddie bricht die High School ab (Jahre später erwirbt er jedoch ein gleichwertiges High School Abschlusszeugnis) und kehrt zurück zu seiner Familie nach Illinois. Dort nimmt er den Mädchennamen seiner Mutter an und trägt statt Eddie Mueller nun den Namen Eddie Vedder.

1984 werden Eddie und die Musikerin Beth Liebling ein Paar. Zusammen kehren sie nach San Diego zurück, wo Eddie sich mit Gelegenheitsjobs über Wasser hält, während sein musikalischer Werdegang langsam ins Rollen gerät. Etwa ab 1990, als die Ära von Pearl Jam beginnt, leben die beiden in Seattle. Zehn Jahre später, am 03. Juni 1994, heiratet er seine langjährige Freundin in Rom/Italien. Nach einigen Jahren zerbricht die Beziehung jedoch, was im September 2000 die Scheidung nach sich zieht.

Seit 2001 ist Eddie mit dem Model Jill McCormick liiert. Die beiden haben eine Tochter, Olivia Jane Vedder (geb. am 11.06.2003). Ein zweites Mädchen hat im Oktober 2008 das Licht der Welt erblickt.

Neben der Musik ist Eddie’s zweite Leidenschaft das Surfen.

Musical Life

Eddie’s musikalische Laufbahn beginnt faktisch an seinem 12. Geburtstag, als ihm seine Mutter die erste Gitarre schenkt. Musikalische Einflüsse sind ebenfalls schon früh zu erkennen: The Who’s „Quadrophenia“ ist zu der Zeit eine seiner liebsten LP’s.

Nachdem Eddie 1984 wieder nach San Diego zurückgekehrt ist, spielt er dort in verschiedenen lokalen Bands und nimmt erste Demotapes auf. 1988 wird der eher schüchterne Eddie Leadsänger der Band „Bad Radio“, die zuerst progressiven Funk Rock spielt und später neue Wege in Richtung Alternative einschlägt. Die Band hat sich durch zahlreiche Auftritte in Südkalifornien einen Namen gemacht, jedoch nie ein Album aufgenommen. Im Februar 1990 lösen sich Bad Radio schließlich auf.

Ende 1990 erhält Eddie von seinem Freund Jack Irons, der früher bei den Red Hot Chili Peppers getrommelt hat, ein Demotape von einer aus Seattle stammenden Band, die auf der Suche nach einem Sänger ist. Kurzerhand schreibt er ein paar Lyrics, nimmt sie samt seinem Gesang auf und schickt das Demotape unter dem Titel „Mamasan-Triolgie“ postwendend zurück an einen gewissen Stone Gossard.

Stone (Gitarre) und seine zwei Bandkollegen Jeff Ament (Bass) und Mike McCready (Gitarre) sind von Eddies charismatischer Stimme begeistert und laden ihn prompt für ein paar Proben nach Seattle ein. Mit Dave Krusen findet sich auch noch ein geeigneter Drummer und die fünf bilden schließlich die Band „Mookie Blayrock“, die wenig später in „Pearl Jam“ umbenannt wird.

Der erste Plattenvertrag und Pearl Jam’s Debut-Album „Ten“ lassen nicht lange auf sich warten. Singleauskopplungen, Videodrehs und wochenlange Tourneen über den gesamten Erdball folgen. Fast 20 Jahre später sind Pearl Jam immer noch in gleicher Konstellation vereint – lediglich der Sitz des Drummers wird einige Male neu besetzt und heute von Matt Cameron eingenommen.

2007 veröffentlicht Eddie sein erstes Solo-Album: den Soundtrack zum Film „Into the Wild“, den er auf Bitten von Sean Penn (Regisseur) eigens für den Film geschrieben hat.

Während seiner Zeit bei Pearl Jam hat Eddie auch immer wieder Songs gemeinsam mit anderen Künstlern aufgenommen oder performed, u. a. mit Temple of The Dog, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, U2, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Ben Harper, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Neil Finn, Beck, Mike Ness, Lyle Workman, Presidents of the United States of America, Mark Seymour, Robert Plant, Bad Religion, Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M., Rolling Stones, The Strokes, Victoria Williams, My Morning Jacket, Kings of Leon, Sonic Youth, The Who, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Supersuckers, Susan Sarandon, Ministry, Chris Cornell, Jack Johnson, Ramones, Iggy Pop, Gary Heffern, Cat Power, Zeke, Peter Frampton, G.E. Smith, Wolfmother oder den verbliebenen Mitgliedern von The Doors.

Musikalische Einflüsse sind bis heute The Who, The Doors, Neil Young, The Ramones, The Beatles, The Jackson 5, Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Tom Waits, The Pixies oder R.E.M.

Neben der Gitarre spielt Eddie noch weitere Instrumente wie Schlagzeug, Ukulele, Mundharmonika oder Akkordion. Bei einigen Songs bringt er Tamburine mit auf die Bühne und wirft sie am Ende der Show ins Publikum.

Eddie benutzt in bestimmten Situationen Pseudonyme anstelle seines richtigen Namens: So ist Wes. C. Addle (West Seattle) manchmal sein Name bei musikalischen Neben-Projekten. Oder er nennt sich Jerome Turner, wenn er als gestalterischer Künstler tätig ist (er malt und zeichnet und trägt ebenso wie Band-Mitglied Jeff Ament zum Art-Work der Alben bei). Mitte der 90er war Eddie außerdem Drummer bei „Hovercraft“, der Band seiner Ex-Frau Beth Liebling (Bass), und hat hier unter dem Pseudonym Jerome230 gespielt.

De retour d’une excellente soirée “Flash Back”… sur le thème “prend toi 15 ans dans les dents”…Je n’ai pas envie de me coucher et ma partenaire de Skype by night est absente… WordPress est mon seul ami!!

   Note inutile: je me demande ce que ça donnerait si on parlait chinois comme les serveurs des restos chinois parlent français… Ouais je sais… J’ai beaucoupp de soucis…

   Inspiré par ces grandes questions existentielles je me replonge dans la musique de “mon époque”, en gros, je me fais du mal!! bah oui, j’ai beau chercher, fouiller, pousser Tutube dans ses derniers retranchements… Mon idée est déjà faite et pré-validée… de 91 à 94… c’était que de la bonne daube!

Pas de quoi faire un Song For The Night digne de ce nom… Je tourne en rond, je guette, je suis à l’affût de tout son intéressant…. Mais rien…

Rien sauf ce qui tourne en boucle sur mon PC… Et là, dans un grand élan de générosité mêlé de désespoir, je me dis: “Pourquoi ne pas le partager?”

… Je vous dirais bien de vous poser, de vous boire un bon verre de vin… Mais il est tard déjà…

Just enjoy

When you tamper with an album as awesome as Ten, it begs the question: legitimate remix or self-serving desecration?

Upon first listen of my favorite Pearl Jam track, Alive, I noticed how much louder it seemed. I immediately put on the original. Definitely subdued by comparison. But, also recognizable, correct. I couldn’t tell.

A few sleepless nights later, I decided to look at the waveform.

Original 1991 Tim Palmer Mix - looks good to me

2009 Brendan O'Brien Remix - Um...that can't be good, can it?

I listened again, unsure of whether these images were influencing me the wrong way. The new mix now seemed too loud, while the original mix, which the band themselves seem to regard as amateur, nonetheless used its effects to enhance Vedder’s secrets and snarls, and it sounded more evenly distributed. I listened back and forth a few more times, my frustration growing…

There’s only one way to get to the bottom of this and know once and for all whether this re-release is the real deal. A side-by-side listen to both tracks.

I rigged this up in Final Cut Pro. The top tracks represent the original 1991 version from Ten while the lower tracks are from the 2009 remix.

Personally, while I may feel guilty losing some of the bassline and all of the vocal effects, (mainly out of nostalgic loyalty for every last nuance of the original), there’s no denying that the new cut delivers more of what made the track a classic in the first place: Vedder’s powerful command of the vocals which (unfairly) draw comparisons to Robert Plant and the dynamic interplay between guitarists Stone Gossard and Mike McCready. These elements are stripped of any “produced” sound,  brought front and center and made loud. As you listen to the side-by-side you can literally hear the band’s balls disappearing every time it switches back to the original mix. When Gossard’s epic solo kicked off, it laid whatever was left of my skepticism to rest.

It almost seems unfair that this new offering could become the definitive version. I’ve since heard the rest of the album and can say it’s a pretty sweet improvement that seemed totally unwarranted. Double surprise!

Winner: Alive (2009)

I know there are bound to be purists who’d have me burned for saying so…

What do you think of the new remix?

Ne şahanedir  şu Ten albümü diymi  hele  bu albüm  bir konserde hayat  bulduysa  ve o festivallede    rock n roll budur  diceğin  müzisyenler  karşındaysa  evet  bizim kuşak  biraz geç kaldı  onlar bu konserleri  verirken  bir çoğumuz  4-5 yaşlarındaydık insan

Tabi bunu yapsaydım sanırım benim için HAC gitmek gibi olur  ilerleyen zamanda çıtayı yükseltir burnu havalarda  hiç bir performansı  beğenmeyen bir  insan olabilirdim bu ihtimalde vardı doğrusu ama  velakin  varsın olsun yahu  bölesi bir konseri  izlemek binlerce insanla  aynı şarkıyı hep bir ağıznda söylemek  deliler gibi savursak  kendimizi ve karşımızda o uzun saçlı  siyah şortu ile  eddie vedder  söylemek varken varsın  olsun  çekilcekler üzüntüler . 

 İnsanın  izledikçe yahu be insan dur  ölüceksin diyor rsmen izlerken bile  bizler 19 – 20 yaşlarında  yuh adama bak derken  o adam bunlar yapıyordu  daha biz el kadar bebek iken  evet Acı ama gerçek drum böleydi . Ve başka bir acı noktada şu ki  Kurt yok ama Eddie burda  ve Kurt yokken Eddie  de tatsız oluyor  sanırım … buda yazımdaki hüzünlü veda olsun bir anma mahiyetinde de olan.

Nära 6 miljoner visningar på youtube, behöver man säga så mkt mer…

Un tema de la película “Into the wild“, una de las mejores que he visto últimamente. Bueno no, la mejor con diferencia. La banda sonora es un regalo para los oídos. La fotografía, espectacular, y el guión contiene unas enseñanzas que deberían hacernos pensar sobre el mundo que nos rodea. Por cierto, aquí se ha “retitulado” como “Hacia rutas salvajes“. Isus tuvo el detalle de recomendarla en su blog y siempre le estaré agradecido por ello. Gracias Isus
