Kevin Shields

Kevin Shields is a very famous guitarist and singer from the Irish band My Bloody Valentine (one of my favorite’s bands), I never seen him live, because this band stopped play in the nineties. Kevin Shields is the main composer, and he created one of the most important albums, for my, in the year 1991, this album was called Loveless. His way to play the guitar was very new, and expansive, his technique is based to use various guitar effects like tremolo, reverb, delay and so much distortion. Also he put out of tone the guitars strings a little and record this piece so many times that he put out of tone.

He also collaborates in Sofia Coppola’s films with some songs in the soundtracks (Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette).

If I had a one by one, I would ask him about guitars, combinations of guitar effects, and the way that he recorded the album loveless, how many guitars he recorded to reach that sound, and specially I would ask him self about how play the song “soft as snow but harm inside”. Obviously I would like to play some songs with him.

If you don’t know anything about this solitary work and the band My Bloody Valentine you can see these videos or download these albums.

BBC Learning english page

This BBC’s page for learning English is excellent for someone who is study English. This page has several sections very interesting, Quizzes it’s a section that had several games for a fun learning. For example the section wordmaster is a help very useful and funny for learning new words and pronunciation.

In this page you can read and listen about news very interesting about the Britain and the world, for example “International Year of the Potato”.

I found a useful, funny and interesting tool that I hope helps me learning the language of the “lords”. (It’s a joke).

Good bye folks. I will post the next week

Terrible grammatical faults made by Frodo… corrected by me.

The best place that I went out in Chile is Chigualoco. Where's Chigualoco? Chigualoco is located 24 kms. north of Los Vilos in IV Region of Coquimbo... at the coast. It's a great place with a beautiful beach, great waves to practise surfing, a fishing village, cliffs and forest. It's a beautiful place to camping.I went to Chigualoco in summer 1999, when I was 12. I went with my family (my parents and my sister) and with my uncle Pepe, my Aunt Rosa and their children. I was there 1 week. I did very things: I did bodyboarding in the beach (It was awesome), I went to walk on the rocks and the forest, I knew the fishing village. I was eating fish and krabs all the week, hahahaha...It was the best holiday of my life.....

Frodo's Blog review

This blog is very boring; it has only three post with nothing interesting. The last post made for this man, talk about his favourite song, a song made by the American band “Mars Volta”. He put on the post the front cover of the last album of this band released in January. I like the information that Frodo write, the only critical is that this information he copy and paste from the page Wikipedia, but who cares.

I like so much the photograph because is funny, and this photo reminds me the geography students congress that was made in the city of Mendoza, Argentina in the year 2006.

I don’t like the blog’s colours, this tonality of green seem very awful, but is his blog not my blog.

My favorite song ....... by now

The song called "disorder" from the U.K band Joy Division is one of my favorites songs. Its musical structure is fantastic. The song begins with a drum beat that reminds me of the Chilean Band called "Los Prisioneros" , to be exact the song "La voz de los 80´s" , this is really funny because this song has a typical lively drum beat from the eighties. On the other hand the song Disorder counts with a work on the bass line and guitar chordes, with a simple execution, this song gains an atmosphere neurotic at the same time that a hangover's relax.

In short this is one of favorite song because its armony noise makes me crazy.

If you dont know this song you can find this song in the Joy Division's Album called "unknown pleasures", album from the year 1979, or if you want, you can watch this unofficial music video with images of the film 2001: A Space Odyssey

Lyric - Disorder

Ive been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand

Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?

These sensations barely interest me for another day

Ive got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away

Its getting faster, moving faster now, its getting out of hand

On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, its a no mans land

Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now

Ive got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow

What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again

Im watching you, Im watching her, Ill take no pity from you friends

Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now

Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know

Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know

Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know

Ive got the spirit, but lose the feeling

Ive got the spirit, but lose the feeling,Feeling, feeling

feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling.
