For call and listen music

The favourite piece of technology that I like is my simple cellphone. I don´t like i-phones or smartphones because I think this type of technology cause people to be absorbed in that little machine.

Because of that i like simple cellphones which I can call, receive calls, send text messages and in the better of cases to have got music in mp3 format. This last feature is the best thing that can has a cellphone because it makes travels more fun, and you can use your computer to pass music from there. I got my cellphone like 4 months ago and I assured that had music storage. I use it everyday when I go to the university or to my home for listening music (and for call too). I like it because I don´t need to have a mp3 player. 

 Now, when I am in any place where there isn´t music, I can reproduce music that I like from my simple machine.

February, 13th 2007, Estacion Mapocho

I´ll never  forget the second concert of Deftones in Chile. I was 18 in that moment. I remember that I
couldn´t went the first time and I wouldn´t let that oportunity pass. I remember that I didn´t listen that kind of music anymore ( I was more inclined to punk rock music), however,  I never left listening to Deftones. In that oportunity I was alone and I bought a beer can outside before the show and wait sitting. Once inside the Estacion Mapocho, I couldn´t be very close to the stage, so I climb the security fence and saw the show with a very nice sight. I sang as high as I could, and when they played "Knife party" I closed my eyes  and I felt so high too. It was so memorable!

I remember too that i felt a little older because i saw many boys with a style i hated (pokemon style) that listened aggro metal in that time. However, a detail that didn´t take me off the placer and extasis of listened a fantastic group that i like very much until now.

Here a memory of that moment.

A Basque punk rock band

All begins in 1979 in the Basque Country or "Pais Vasco" in spanish, when a group of discontent guys make a music band called "La polla records". A controversial name because "polla" in spain is a vulgar way to say penis. I  like this band because his vocalist, Evaristo Paramos, has a ironical way for refer to everything he wants. He is called the poet by many fans of this band. La Polla Records is a punk rock band that makes hard critics to capitalism, religion, society, patriotism and daily stuffs. The fact that their origins are basques or "vascos"( people repressed for the spanish state who denied its selfdetermination and conform the anheled Basque Country) makes this band even more interesting. They have an album called "La polla en tu recto", a 1998 live record, that makes a route of their long trajectory until that year. It´s inspiring!

There is a song of this band, between a lot of songs that i like, called "La solución final" like the final solution implemented in the nazi´s empire, which i like very much. It`s about the way the order and capitalism have everything in its hand and how everybody asumes these way of life without realice it. Because of that, the song proposes  "a gas chamber with politics inside". Ja ja

Here I let you with a great video of this awesome band.

I like / don´t like Maipu because...

A few months ago I arrived to live in Maipu, a sector in the northwest zone in Santiago of Chile. There are lots of things that make nice to live here. There are lots of stores near to my house where I can buy things that I need. There is a little park on front of my house where I can relax and have fun any times that I want. There are many friends that live near to me. There is many  transport to everywhere in town. There are lots of  fields where I can to play soccer. And there is a subway station very close to my house.

But the bad side (like everything in the world has a bad side) is for example that there aren´t banks or administration offices near. There are many cars that cause a terrible noise pollution. There are many districts far away what takes me lots of time in travel. And finally there aren´t places where an up and coming music band can have a chance of play.
