Me puse a mirar cassettes y discos viejos y me encontré las joyas de mi historia musical, entonces pues acá va, para hacer de cuenta que he escrobliado toda la vida.

Haré la lista completa.... aunque realmente muchas cosas me averguenzan.
Hay cosas que no me acuerdo, la iré completando...

Cuando chiquita (Infancia)
En ese momento mis gustos musicales salieron de lugares radicalmente opuestos, por eso la diversidad musical en esa época de mi vida.
La lista no tiene ningún orden.

Bronco
Sale de mi afición a las novelas mexicanas del medio día, de este grupo era el tema principal de la novela "Dos mujeres un camino".
Pongo el video de la novela, de muy mala calidad, pero vale la pena verlo.


Aquí la canción en Deezer:
Dos Mujeres un Camino - Bronco

Thalía
Otra salida de telenovelas mexicanas, por que fueron varias, la amé en secreto mucho tiempo. Terrible, no me acordaba, que cosa tan horrible!, pongo el video de la novela María Mercedes, para que recuerden:


Roberto Carlos
Sobre todo la canción símbolo sexual, no me pregunten por qué, pero era una de mis canciones favoritas. Es más ahora que la escucho de nuevo, me mueve de alguna forma, me gusta.
Símbolo sexual - Roberto Carlos

Caetano Veloso (continúa estando entre mis favoritos)
Todo el disco Fina Estampa.... amor puro, cada vez que escucho ese disco me devuelvo, me revuelvo, me pierdo. Fue y sigue estando.
Las mejores:
Pecado - Caetano Veloso
Recuerdos de Ypacarai - Caetano Veloso
Tonada de Luna Llena - Caetano Veloso
Lamento Borincano - Caetano Veloso
Todas son las mejores, si nunca han escuchado este disco es un recomendado, es fundamental para una vida completa.

OKI DOKI
El que nunca cantó, bailó y vio a los Oki Dokis que tire la primera piedra.
Este merece video, aunque es un poco aburrido, igual para recordar:



Ana Belén y Víctor Manuel
Este es influencia de mi madre claramente. Siempre me ponía a llorar con la canción Sólo pienso en ti, me gustaba escuchar el disco Mucho más que dos e imaginarme todas las canciones, aunque después me di cuenta que me las imaginaba a mi manera, no era lo que realmente quería decir la letra.... pero era más bonito.

Paul McCartney
En ese momento no tenía ni idea que existían los Beatles, entonces para mi este man era maravillosos, sobretodo la canción Ebony and Ivory aunque no entendía la letra, también me gustaban algunas que ahora se son originales de los Beatles.

Lionel Richie
De mi mamá también.... es bonito, un poco demasiado pop, pero bueno es sabrosito.
Easy - Lionel Richie
Lady - Lionel Richie


Tracy Chapman (Continúa en el corazón)
La amaba y amo!!, aunque por mucho tiempo pensé que era un man, hasta que le pregunté a mi mamá y me aclaro que era mujer.
Mountains O' Things - Tracy Chapman

Donato y Estefano
No se de donde salieron, creo que fueron como populares es ese momento, el caso es que me regalaron el cassette y me gustaba pero mal, sobre todo "Estoy enamorado", creo que este también merece video:


Simone (Otra que sigue latiendo)
De mi madre, me gustaba, aunque luego la olvidé rápidamente y la volví a encontrar hace unos años cuando me obsesioné con la música popular brasilera.

Patricia Teherán (las diosas del vallenato)
Esta es una de las mejores, aunque solo conocía una canción pero la amaba. La muchacha que nos cuidaba cuando peques amaba el vallenato y lo ponía todo el día, por más que lo escuchaba nada me enganchaba, solo esta nena, solo esta canción, entonces me pasaba las horas esperando que pusieran esta canción y cuando la ponían cantaba con toda la pasión del caso (ojo... tendría unos 8 o 9 años, creo que ni la entendía bien). El caso es que todavía me gusta, cuando la oigo por ahí me emociono.

Compared to 2007, I think this year was weaker in singles' love, which led many songs to chart long in the last few months. The first couple of months were strong, but the songs weakened and got the chance to chart endlessly, while pretty much dead in love. Albums that were brought out were not tripping the light fantastic either, despite that, I did manage to make a top 10 of the most loved ones, ones I really did love!

Any blind cow could see it coming that a 24 weeks charting song (of which 12 on top) would be my #1 song of the year! The 2nd got this high due to long effective love, but in love, "Up" strikes the lowest button. Most un-expecting songs that made this charts are "Up" and "Sneakernight" in my opinion, I wasn't aware both songs were doing só well on the chart. Frankly, both should be in pink (the songs that least-deserve to be in the top).
Below you can find the top 100 songs that were most played in my iTunes this year (click the pic to enlarge). Songs from the first three quarters of the year are in advantage, as my iPod broke down in September, which doesn't synch the plays after that.

From origin, Hook Me Up was released in Nov '07, though I discovered the album in 2008, besides, the US release was in 2008, therefore it has the ability to chart here. The album rocked my iTunes & iPod in the first halfyear, ending up with 4 songs in the 2008 Most Listened Tracks Top 100. This chart was made based on feelings. Most underrated album of all is Raven-Symoné in my opinion. It is way better than 90% of the albums that came out this year, but due to her status as a Disney-artist, the album isn't even brought under the attention of critics. Just bubbling under are the Pussycat Dolls with Doll Domination.

Este año fue malo para muchos, bueno para pocos, en fin daré al menos 15 razones una de ellas son 5 de los mejores albumes que he escuchado en este año, otras fueron los comportamiento de artistas, la musica olvidada, etc...


1.- Radiohead no hizo nada nuevo.
sin considerar el album compilatorio de lo mejor de ellos, radiohead no hizo nada en este año, se estancaron en el año pasado con su In Rainbows.


2. NIN regala su música
Eso fue gracias al estancado de arriba, nos regalo todo un paquete de instrumentales para que todo mundo compartiera su estilo los llamó Ghosts I-IV y de paso lanzó un nuevo album (que me bajé por torrent en formato apple lossless) The Slip, y el éxito que los acogió todo el año Discipline, sin ella no existirían mucho tiempo (captaron la idea?) xD


3.- Acogí nuevos artistas a mis oidos
De los nuevos artistas que sacaron album, deje que pasaran grupos como Death Cab for Cutie, Fleet Foxes, Digitalism, Justice, Lullatone, The Radio Dept., Spiritualized, Katy Perry, Shena Ringo, Paramore son algunos de los que mas me he encariñado :D


4.- Los conocidos de siempre nos apantallaron / decepcionaron
Madonna con su Hard Candy, Coldplay con su Viva La Vida, Guns N Roses con su Chinese Democracy, Portishead con su Third, Slipknot con su All Hope Is Gone, Panic at the Disco con su Pretty. Odd. (son un poco conocidos), Namie Amuro por PLAY, en méxico Thalia con su Lunada y Gloria Trevi con Una Rosa Blu son alguno de los tantos que se me agradaron.

5.- el reggaeton esta perdiendo auge en mexico
al menos eso es lo que estoy viendo, ya que ni el pose de daddy yankee, ni el supuesto dueto de nigga con belinda levantaron el mercado para estos, ni calle 13 se notó, solo se escuchaban reggaetón del 2003 xD, eso es buena señal.

6.- Presencié a los 10 tenores en la playa de mi ciudad

7.- Los 5 mejores álbums del año:

The Cure - 4:13 Dream
Perfume - GAME
Sarah Brightman - Winter Symphony
Coldplay - Viva La Vida And Death And All His Friends
Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs

8-15 me hice artista de last.fm Tinosoft y me gané 100 pesos con linkbucks.com xD (tengo qe editarlo varias veces para que entiendan xDD)

eso es todo, bye.

Firstly, YHALOTHAR. last.fm = epic fail for messing with their own formatting stuff. Hence, the repost. Go figure.

1. ‘surveys’, ‘top x questions/whatever’, ‘memes’, or other such material with similar ‘content’ infest the artist’s recent journals.

A transfer of symbols without a transfer of values, that’s what those ‘reading’ materials most signify. Boredom is no excuse for making trite observations about characteristics of so-and-so. At the very least there’s always the option of leaving the artist connections off for those who actually had something interesting to say. It’s almost always about original content. This journal is no different from the rest and that in itself should be a lesson for those who never knew better.

2. one retard polluting the shoutbox is enough to ruin them.

Two kinds of one, actually, the fan and the ‘hater’. The ‘hater’ for being ‘obviously’ what s/he is, and the fantard for needlessly glorifying them. Especially the ones who refuse to acknowledge imperfection’s reality; it comes hand in hand with lacking the necessary faculties and/or willpower for incisive cogitation. E-snarkiness is not that hard to detect, especially the tired old ones. Most people are still new to this internet socialization thingamajig, most presumably. Or just poor judges of character anywhere.

3. http://www.last.fm/charts .

Don’t delude yourself otherwise. A hundred thousand listeners give or take a few thousand spam scrobblers can’t be wrong. An unfunny example of emergent behavior in action. Besides, check the journal title. If you found yourself in this page from one of those listed there (how remote the possibility considering point 1) do the right thing and just accept the deal. And think about it, of course. Adroit observation of human behavior online and off helps. A lot.

--

These only mean that for every grim and frostbitten band with only 666 listeners at least one of them’s bound to share the music with all the wrong sorts of people who more often than not will only repeat the process to offensive degrees until the label of ‘sellout’ emerges due to the number of so-called ‘fans’ who simply ‘don’t get it’. Children and men-children, the lot of them. Thus, EVERY artist is overrated on last.fm. A transfer of knowledge without a transfer of values. ‘not getting it’ and ‘getting it but disagreeing with it either in whole or in part’ are mutually exclusive principles, that much is obvious.

A realization of futility won’t dull resolve if prime intent is to rise above it.

Also, because my motives are nigh unfathomable. Today is a relatively short one.

And it’s that time of the year again. Get yourselves some presents.

When I lived in Spain a few years ago, I learnt a thing or two. I learned that Spain is NOT Mexico, as a lot of North Americans are wont to believe, assume, expect. I learned that Mexico is the way it is because of Spain -- The good, the bad, the ugly. I love Mexico, and I truly love Spain. One of the people in Spain that influenced me exponentially was a very beautiful person from San Fernando. I fell in love with her and stupidly messed it up... as I'm very good at doing. So anyway, she had great taste in everything, but I'm not so sure about her music, now that I look back. She had me HOOKED on Spanish pop. I don't know much else about music from the Iberian Peninsula, but whenever I hear Spanish pop, I wax sentimentally and am lost in nostalgia. Here are some of the groups (with the help of last.fm) that I still hear when I think of downtown Cadiz, Jerez, and the beaches of Costa de la Luz & Costa del Sol:

Perchance I wasn't snapping my fingers to latin pop, I was out looking for something more in-country, more folk. After all, Andalusia is the birthplace of flamenco, and one cannot walk through any spanish town any night and not see flamencodancers and/or a spanish guitar, somewhere. So I'd sit down and have a sherry and watch the show. Such great music.

One other thing... There is another part of Iberia, a place to the west called Albufeira in a great country called Portugal. Such great people, great food, and great music. All those years of world influence has come back there in spades. Bossa Novas and Sambas from Brazil. But one of the best experiences is listening to Fado.
