Digressing about music: songs, dances, melodies, groups, films...

  Hi not my students, today I´m gonna write about music, because I wanted to do it and nobody else asked me...

  Since, I don´t know, 4 to 5 years maybe I started to find my music taste, this can sound very late, but I never enjoyed completely the music that my family used to play on their radios or computers or I don´t know, Tv maybe? Well, the thing here it´s that because I never liked family´s music I look out for my musical taste, and I started with some bands that I barely knew, like Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Beatles, Queen and Elvis Presley, and little bit of La Ley.

But that was just a start, when time passed I thought that those bands where good but they were old, at the same time, so I started to think that I should look from bands of my generation and live the present, not because the new bands were better, it was because I just thought that the old bands have already marked one generation and they also inspired another generation of musicians, so I looked for new bands (But not replacing completely my old music library).

In my new search I found some good bands, which like The Strokes and The Killers, and with a little help from a friend I also discovered Arctic Monkeys, and from then on on I found a lot of another musicians from the same gender, which will become my favourite one and it´s called Indie Rock... I have to say that it´s not the only thing that I listen to, I actually listen to a lot of different music, which make my actual music library very funny.

  Well, since I like Indie Rock I found a preference for two not very different instruments, which are Electric guitar and Bass Guitar ( I also like tambourine, I think it produces a funny sound). I also started to play Acoustic guitar!

 It turned out that The Strokes became my favourite band, it´s like they completely catch me with their sound and lyrics, so I started to dig out a little bit about them. Then I discovered that the main composer and lyricist of the band was Julian Casablancas, he is just a New Yorker who used to drank a lot and write songs... that doesn´t sounds very admirable, but he has left the alcohol behind and turned in a very serious person, he has now a music label that has a very active political critic. But that it´s not why I admire him, it´s because I love the lyrics that he writes, it´s awesome, I like close to 95% of the songs that he has written, and the sounds and rythms that he creates are awesome for me as well.

  Have to mention that there is always a dark side of music, and that side it´s made with music that I don´t enjoy. But there´s a funny thing, inside this dark side I can actually find music that I used to like... entrancing, in some way I think. In this "Dark side" I can find some music that used to listen my mother, I sometimes remember those songs with nostalgia and sometimes I even enjoy them, it´s not that I actually hate the dark side, and the singers that I could name would be: José Luis Perales, Alejandro Fernández, and Leo Dan or José José, I don´t know, there are not bad at all, it´s just that I don´t enjoy them so much these days.

  To finish this post I have to tell you guys that lately I´ve been very interested in the soundtrack of Tv series and movies, and there are movies in which I really enjoyed their soundtrack, I can easily remember "Río", with all the brazilian joy and party, also the movie "Submarine" which has an EP very soft and beauty, and some songs that I found in some Tv series, but they are just instrumentals so I don´t know their names (My bad).
