Since I'm always trying to find new things to listen to and hoping to expand my musical horizons, please check this:
Bands PUNK should check out.
Just add anything you want there. If I already know it, I'll just make a comment about it.
Thanks.

Some of you probably already saw this in the Junk forum. Some other saw it in Voice Clips. But a couple probably didn't see/hear this:

As iippo pointed out, I pronounced "jar" every time as "har". I "spanished" it :P 

I wanted to write something on my diary today, but I have nothing. Damn!

Not sure if I already post this here, but... Part of an old song (like 2 years old) I wrote while trying to write a letter. You can see that from the name.

A Letter

Hello, my friend, what can I say?
You know that feelings are impossible to explain
You'll take my hand, we'll walk in the dark
I'm staring at the ceiling with a pen in my hand once again

I'll take my time, I won't hurry up
And I'll pick my words more carefully this time
You know they'll be oh, so clumsy and lame!
But at least they'll mean what I want to say

Lots of love, my friend

And you know that's it's true because I wouldn't lie to you

And then he died and went to Pill Heaven...

Ok, the topic of natural food never being blue has obsessed me for a while. Here, some answers:
http://www.colormatters.com/appmatters.html

Oh, and I've grown tired (not to mention that I feel guilty) of promising to answer messages and be here more and not being able to do it. Life has decided to keep me really busy with work and such. Really busy. Right now, I'm working 12/13 hours a day, during the mornings at Granica (the publishing house) and during the afternoons at the Books Fair (in the stand that Granica has there). That should end on Monday, but I won't promise more presence here. I'm tired of lying to you and to myself.

Ok, with some delays (as usual) tomorrow UPMA 16 will be out, so next week I'll start working in the sendings. This is your second (maybe last, who knows?) to ask for a copy, if you haven't. Those who already did (around 6 persons, if I'm not wrong) will get it... eventually ;) I'll need your addresses, though.

To be honest, I thought more people were going to want it. Even more, there's some people I thought were going to ask for it that didn't. Here's another chance, if you are one of those (This bothers me because I used to be better at predicting people's actions).

Next week a new issue of my fanzine, UPMA, will be published. I'm giving all my friends here a chance to get a copy of it. Essentially, if you want it, just lemme know and I'll send it to you, totally free. I'll take care of the shipping, unlike, let's say, Amazon. And I ship anywhere in the world. I'm a lot lazier and slower than Amazon, though, since I like to include some personal comments in the package.
The fanzine is totally in spanish, of course, and most of you won't be able to understand a word, but it's still a curiosity, I guess. And it includes a dog drawn by me.

NOTE FOR MIRIME: This is the latest reason why your package was delayed. But next week it will leave, I swear. And it will include several things.

[Mirime] and [Teufelsweib] already ordered their copies. You can be like them! Order UPMA soon.

Answering messages soon. Yes, I promise. I never lied to you before, did I? Well, that time doesn't count. Why? Because I say so... No, taht one doesn't, either. Nor that other one.

So, I'll try to answer all those old messages from you all wonderful people soon.

PS: Just keep in mind that soon is a relative term, not a specific ammount of time.

I liked the Record Of Lodoss War quiz, so...

What Record of Lodoss War Character Are You?
http://quizilla.com/users/wireworkelf/quizzes/What%20Record%20of%20Lodoss%20War%20Character%20Are%20You%3F/


You're Parn! You're clumsy, you're not much of a swordsman, you're dense, you're unobservant, you obssess about King Kashue *way* too much, you're self-centered, and you're the series' protagonist. Oh, and there's this one elf girl who saves your ass all the time, and yet you wind up sleeping with the slutty redhead mercenary. How did THAT happen?!



Lodoss is one of the few animes I've actually watched. And one of the few mangas I've read too.

I also saw an interesting name thing in [ally]'s house, but that will be left fot later.

It's alright
Just follow the light
Don't be afraid of the dark
In the moonlight
You'll dance till you fall
And always be here in my heart

             Travis "Follow the light"

From the force to the union shops
The war economy is making new jobs
But the people who benefit most
Are breaking bread with their benevolent hosts

Let them eat war [X2]
That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war [X2]

            "Let Them Eat War" by Bad Religion

Bad Religion will be playing in Buenos Aires next month. I got my ticket the very next day after it was confirmed. I couldn't see them the last time the came (in 2001) and, of course, it's one of the bands I have to see before I die. A list that is getting smaller and smaller, luckily (Foo Fighters and Green Day are on top, now that Bad Religion will be removed). So, as you can imagine, I'm pretty excited about it and can't wait for the show.

All my scientists are working on a deadline
So my psychologist is working day and night time

Come out to play
Come out to play
And we'll pretend it's Christmas Day
In my atomic garden

          "Atomic Garden" by Bad Religion

The first one is, obviously, a song about war economies (or economies in war times, if you prefer) and the way the "feed" people with death. The second one is about the danger of atomic war. It mentions Gorbachev at some point and makes clear references to the president of the USA.
Very few bands are capable of handling this kind of issues with the clarity that BD does. The music may be repetitive sometimes, but you have to listen to what they are saying. Some of the songs are essays on political and social relations.

You are the government
You are jurisprudence
You are the volition
You are juridiction
And I make a difference too

          "You are the government" by Bad Religion

Another song. Now, comment. And yes, you suck and you've made my ears bleed count as a comment and it's welcomed (honestly. I don't mind.). Thanks.

Because I know you are all getting really anxious, the first song I uploaded:

Save Me by AboutBlank

http://www.musmakers.com/1.AboutBlank%20The%20Second%20Coming.Save%20Me

I'm still the best at what I do. It's not my fault if what I do is stupid :P

Recorded a couple rehearsals. Will upload songs later. I hope people will listen and comment, or I'll feel I'm wasting my valuable time.

*with one figer pointing towards the sky, the other holding the mic*

*sings/shouts*
More a question than a curse
How could hell be any worse
The flames are stunning
The cameras running
So take warning!
     Bad Religion - Los Angeles is Burning

Coming soon, a couple diary entries. But that will be tomorrow.

Something [Zab] said made me think of one of my favorite Blur songs.

He talks at speeds, He gets nose bleeds
He doesn't see his days are tumbling
Down upon him
And yet he tries so hard to please
Hes just so keen
For you to listen
But no-ones listening
And when you put it all together
Theres the model of a charmless man

Now, has anybody seen a picture of The Good, The Bad And The Queen, Albarn's new band? Well, here there's one:

Check and and you'll see that, finally, Damon has stopped looking like a 15 years old. It was about time :P

Some time ago I read "1984" and went through a little stage of obsession about that book. Part of the obsession included the idea of writing a song based on it. Couple months ago I bought Bad Religion's latest album "The Empire Strikes First" and...

Boot Stamping On A Human Face Forever

“Drop dead, it doesn’t matter,” she said
“It only hurts when I laugh,” she said
“Sometimes it’s never a crime
“To spend the day in bed”
She made certain that the curtains were red
To dream better by the light they would shed
She leaned back, tilted her head
And this is what she said…

“You can’t win; think it over again
“I can’t win; look at the trouble I’m in
“We can’t win and we’re stuck here together
“Yeah, I hope it will last forever.”

“Don’t ever dare to hope,” he said
“So I’m never let down too bad
“I know there’s nowhere to go
“So I’ll just stay here, instead”
He knew better than to pull at a thread
They unravel like the thoughts in his head
He looked out; it filled him with dread
And this is what he said…

Chorus

Don't you hate when other people do what you want to do and do it a lot better than you'll ever be able to? :P

Wow, wow, wow (Err, not as in World of Warcraft, but as in "Wow"). I'm Member of the day in Elfwood. I'm there, in the main page :D *smile full of easily earned satisfaction*

Call me and I'll answer
At home in the lost and found
You said I'm much too proud
Someone who's taking pleasure in breaking down

             M.I.A. Foo Fighters

Very nice lyrics.
