My beloved things

I hated this topic because my friends are laughing at me at this moment because they have touch technology and I don’t. So according to their thoughts they are modern and I’m not. But I think technologic isn’t only about touch features. Instead of it I’d like not to talk about new and awesome technology, but the piece that I enjoy most. And this is my musical equipment.
When I was fifteen years old my mother gave me my first electric guitar. But actually I hated it because it wasn’t a very good one. So that was the moment that I realized that if I wanted to have a good equipment I’d have to buy my own things and not leave it in my parent’s hands. I sold my guitar and I started to save money to buy a new one by my taste. After a few months I could get the guitar that I wanted to have, a beautiful white Epiphone Les Paul Special II. I have it up to now.
But I needed other things beside my electric guitar. I started to save money again and I bought an effect pedal (a Zoom 506 G1) and my most precious thing in the world: My amplifier. I collected coin by coin during a whole year until I had enough to get an amplifier which brand is the one used by the professional music players: A Marshall amp with 30 watts. I love it because it’s perfect to practice at home, and it has a lot of effects incorporated, like reverbs, flangers, delays and a chorus. But also it’s useful to play with a whole band behind you.
Sadly I can’t have it here in Santiago because I live in a pension and if I play they’ll probably kick me out to the street. I really miss my things and every time when I go to my city I spend hours and hours playing guitar
The pictures that I uploaded are not my equipment but it looks like it.

Regular Josh

I hate when people ask me about my favorite band because I cant’ pick just one band between all the music that I usually hear that, in fact, is extremely varied. I guess the best option will be to talk about a musician that I’ve recently started to admire in a ridiculous way.
Josh Homme is the vocalist and guitarist of Queens of the Stone Age, an American rock band formed in 1997. But this is not the only band in which you could hear him. Josh had been part of a series of bands and musical projects since 90’s. That’s why I used the word “ridiculous”, I mean not everyone would hear every single song that Josh has released.
Also, Josh is the forerunner of several music genres like the Stoner Rock and the Desert Rock. I think it’s pretty awesome that one single person can be responsible of the creation of new music styles and even more so in our age, where everything looks like another thing (the obsession of classify every single thing). In this order, Josh Homme is able to play under another name and we could always know that is him.
Since 2009 he is playing in Them Crooked Vultures, a “supergroup” formed by Josh, Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin). Obviously, I can’t stop hearing them. And that’s why I want to share this song with you guys <3 name="allowFullScreen" value="true">

A masterpiece of modern horror

I’m really good seeing movies, so I’m not able to choose just one favorite movie. In fact, I remember that last year I made a list with all the films that I’d wanted to see and I saw almost all of them. But, I’m forced to write something by my English teacher, so I’ll write about the first movie that came to my mind.
I think that ‘The Shining’ is one of the most spectacular terror films ever made. It was directed by also one of my favorite directors, Stanley Kubrick, in 1980, and it was starring by Jack Nicholson in one of his best roles. He represents Jack Torrance, a writer that accepts to take care of a lonely hotel a few months with his wife and his son. But as months pass, Jack slowly starts acting strange and frustrated and also getting a violent behavior, endanger to his whole family
This film is an icon in the movies history. It has been adapted to the video clips’ world, by several bands, like 30 seconds to mars in their video ‘The kill’ and Slipknot in their video ‘Spit it out’ and also had one of the most memorable scenes in cinema history: Jack breaking the bathroom door with an ax trying to kill his wife.
I thought of writing about this movie because yesterday I bought a poster of ‘The shining’. It has the most famous picture of the movie, with Jack at the broken door, smiling and saying "Here's Johnny!” Probably I’ll put it on my bedroom door and when i wake up in the middle of the night it will scare the hell out of me.>
