Why should Fernando listen the brand new single and see its interactive music video?

The two things  that probably are going to come to your mind are...what is Arcade Fire and who is Fernando?

1st. Fernando is my life partner.
2nd. An independent music band originary of Quebec, Canada. And they are awsome.

They launch a new single on Septeber 9th of they 4th album called "Reflektor". It might be really cool. "It might" because I havent listening yet and Im triying to convince my  boyfriend Fer to listening with me and he wont lisent till I write an issue explaining why he should listen the new single of Arcade Fire.

And here we go...

1. Aside of that they are one of the best bands of the century, they have created a huge hype withthis single making something uncommon: to hire proffesional painters secretly from avery part of the worl with the purpuse of painting this







This painting appeared on every place of the world and nobody knew exactly if this belong to Arcade fire or not.This is a very clever market estrategy and very cheap because the people talk more about the things that they dont know at all. Its called mystery.
So, why dont listen something that have created so much mystery in these past two weeks in the social media?

2. Because David Bowie and James Murphy are in the production. You, reader, whould think that this reason is enough and doesent need more explanation to convince Fer to listen the song...YOU WRONG.
Davie Bowie had his big recognition in the 80´s, and he played rock and an excellent singer AND his voice appears in the song.
Furthermore, James Murphy is and excellent producer and has a very interesting band which have made songs like:

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auZkkX0Z3bY

In conclusion: big band + amazing producer + awsome artist from the 80´s = GREAT SONG

3. The theme of the song. This song is very different of what they done previusly. They have tolfd that thir album is full of haitian sound...and James Murphy is an owner of a electronic band and, as I said, he is the principal producer of the upcoming album.
That sound very interesting, right?

4. It have take 3 years to make this album, maybe the time is not sinonym of greatness but they have made all their efforts on the 4th album. Just for that, and for the previus album ( some of them are masterpieces) we should listen.

5. And finally, because Fer addore her girlfriend and want to make her happy. 


GIVE IT A CHANCE

Peace and love,

Sandra







 

Caitlin Rose - Own side

Hey guys!!
My best friend Charo asked me for a translation of a beautiful song called "Own side" by Caitlin Rose. Anyone who like o liked Taylor Swift will rememer that the main composer of her old songs is Liz Rose, the mother of Caitlin :D (Everything is conected O.o)
Let´s go!


I’m goin’ out on town
Said I’m tired of chasin’ you down
And it’s not my right to always push you around
I’m on my own side now

Who’s gonna take me home?
Cause I don’t wanna go it alone
Who’s gonna want me when I’m just somewhere you’ve been
Who’s gonna want me now?
and who’s gonna take me home?

I’m gonna find me a true love
Said I’m through asking you if you knew, love
How much it meant to me
How it was meant to be
And how it all feels empty

Who’s gonna take me home?
Cause I don’t wanna go it alone
Who’s gonna want me when I’m just somewhere you’ve been?
Who’s gonna want me now?
And who’s gonna take me home?

Who’s gonna take me home?
Cause I don’t wanna go it alone
Who’s gonna want me when I’m just somewhere you’ve been?
Who’s gonna want me now?
Who’s gonna take me home?
Cause I don’t wanna go it alone
Who’s gonna want me when I’m just somewhere you’ve been?
Who’s gonna want me now?
And who’s gonna take me home?

I’m goin’ out on the town
Said I’m tired of chasin’ you down
And it’s not my right to always push you around
I’m on my own side now
Own side now

Voy a salir al pueblo,

ya que estoy cansada de perseguirte,

y no tengo el derecho de siempre atropellarte.

Ahora estoy en mi propio lugar.

¿Quién me llevará ahora a casa?

Porque no tengo ganas de llegar sola.

¿Quien me va a querer cuando solo soy un lugar donde tú has estado?

¿Quién me va a querer?

¿Y quién me llevará a casa?

Me voy a buscar un amor verdadero,

ya que paso de preguntarte si  supiste, amor,

cuanto significaba para mi,

como iba a ser,

y como de vacío se siente todo.

¿Quién me llevará ahora a casa?

Porque no tengo ganas de llegar sola.

¿Quien me va a querer cuando solo soy un lugar donde tú has estado?

¿Quién me va a querer?

¿Y quién me llevará a casa?

¿Quién me llevará ahora a casa?

Porque no tengo ganas de llegar sola.

¿Quien me va a querer cuando solo soy un lugar donde tú has estado?

¿Quién me va a querer?

¿Y quién me llevará a casa?

Me voy a ir del pueblo,

ya que estoy cansada de perseguirte,

y no tengo el derecho de siempre atropellarte.

Ahora estoy en mi propio lugar.

Techology-now and then (book)

TOPIC: Some people fear that technology is gradually taking over control of our lives, while others think that it has led to many positive developments in all aspects of their lives.

Discuss these views and give your own opinion.

 The technolgy is changing every aspect of our lives: health, education, beauty... and these changes are being really, really fast. We can´t even realize about them.

But there are people who don´t accept these changes; people who are afraid about how technology is growing and taking the control of their lives. In fact, there are some technological developments that we need for living and we really dont need them. For example: the need to have internet in the mobile phone or being connected in the social networks 24/7, is a need created by the human been (mostly companies which have created these items),  because we can live without any of these "needs", right?
Moreover, there are jobs which you cannot take if you dont have any kind of knowledge about computers, even if your are the best lawyer or the best doctor. Therefore, according to the mainstream, you cannot have any friends if you haven´t an account in a social network like facebook or twitter.
Bad thing, because, in fact, in order to have online friends, we have to lose some time in front of the computer and it means that, at the end, we will lose our real friends.

However, other people are more happy about the technology and how it changes the world like we use to know. Their reasons are that the technology has increased the quality of our lives: for example, in terms of health, the cancer, an illness, was very difficult to get over, but, in the last few years, the situation has changed a lot and ,now, to have cancer isnt a synonym of passing away.

In my opinion, the technology has been always in our lives: the wheels, the telescope, the car...  and all of them are items which have been (and are) very useful. But it´s true that the technology is taking too much over our lives, making us a consumer society and not a better society.

And what about you? What is your opinion?
