Nothing Better...

"Will someone please call a surgeon
Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
That your're deserting for better company?

I can't accept that it's over...
I will block the door like a goalie tending the net
In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

So just say how to make it right
And i swear i'll do my best to comply

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

I feel must interject here
you're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself
With these revisions and gaps in history

So let me help you remember.
I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I've prepared a lecture on why i have to leave

So please back away and let me go

I can't my darling i love you so...

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

Don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future
Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

I admit that i have made mistakes and i swear
I'll never wrong you again

You've got a lure i can't deny,
But you've had your chance so say goodbye

Say goodbye"

Logic will break your heart forever... Be brave

Como lo comenté en alguna de las entradas de mi ahora desmantelado espacio en MSN, tuve la oportunidad de asistir al Corona Musicfest el pasado sábado 4 de Diciembre de 2005. La alineación en el escenario A constaba de Austin TV , quienes empezaron a tocar a las 4:30pm y le siguieron Los Dynamite, Porter, Los Látigos, Jumbo, La Lupita, The Stills para finalizar a las 11pm con Incubus. En fin, como mi reseña del concierto está en My Space en MSN, no es el propósito de este post hacer otra reseña alguna de dicho evento. Lo que quiero comentar es lo molesto que me dejó la pobre actitud de la mayoría de los que asistieron, abucheando y peor aún, insultando y hasta aventando objetos a Los Dynamite, Los Látigos y tristísimamente a The Stills. El ambiente estaba tenso, era mi primer festival y me sentía muy mal, el personal de ayuda sacó a muchas personas que no pudieron con más aplastamientos y pisotontes, y menos con la lluvia, y se entiende que si no te gusta el grupo en el escenario no te sientas cómodo, ¡pero no por eso empezarás a gritarles "cómprate un estilo" a Los Dynamite, "homosexuales" a Los Látigos y "gringuitos" a The Stills! O a ver, a ver, ¿yo empecé a gritarles de cosas a La Lupita solo porque no me gusta ni una nota de lo que puedan tocar? Bueno no lo haría, y en parte no lo hice porque todos los que abuchearon estaban prendidísimos con La Lupita y los golpes hubieran tardado poco en llegar. Aparte, ¿"gringuitos"? ¡Pero si son de Canadá!

The Stills, un grupo originario de Montreal, Canadá, compuesto en sus inicios por Tim Fletcher, Dave Hamelin, Liam O'Neil y Oliver Crowe. Un grupo de estudiantes de arte que se conocían desde los 12 años decidieron formar The Stills en el 2000 e irse a probar suerte a New York. En el 2003 se editó el Rememberese EP y más tarde ese año, mientras la escena de NY tomaba gran fuerza con grupos como Interpol, The Rapture o Yeah Yeah Yeah's, lanzaronsu primer LP, Logic Will Break Your Heart, el cual fue puesto a disposición de todo aquel que quisiera disfrutar 50 minutos y 12 segundos de puro buen indie rock... o que conociera Still In Love Song, décimo track y sencillo de gran éxito y rotación el la radio cuando Radioactivo agonizaba. "Your dreams of acting on screen, what do they mean? you'll be dancing senseless in your bedroom, and you find yourself out of a job, and before too long you'll be selling lemonade to the overpaid... and i'm still in love and i'm still in love".

::: Still In Love Song - The Stills :::

Mientras navegaba por la red me encontré con comentarios como "si tan sólo Coldplay fuera tan bueno como estos canadienses" o "son el próximo Interpol", lo cual habla buenas cosas de ellos, sin embargo no me parece que esté en la línea de alguno de los anteriores. Es un album de indie rock que parece decirte que encontrarás sus tracks más fuertes al inicio, los primeros tres, pero lo escuchas una segunda vez y piensas que los más fuertes son los primeros cinco, lo escuchas una tercera vez y los buenos tracks se convierten el los primeros ocho, aunque la nueve también es buena, y la diez es Still In Love Song, la mejor en mi opinión, así que para la cuarta vez que uno lo escucha queda enganchado con las doce pistas. ¡Excelentes todas ellas! Tenía muchas ganas de verlos en el Corona Musicfest, y canté lo más fuerte que pude las que conocía, apesar de que el "buuuh" era más fuerte que el sonido de mi voz. Pensé ser el único que entendía. Su química en el escenario, su forma de vestir, su manera de hacer comentarios sarcásticos respondiéndo al público la hostilidad que le daban, nada se compara con los sentimientos y las cosas en las que me pone a pensar ese gran album. "Too late and too bad... Without you i'm a mess, without you, you just don't know. This is not a joke; you're all i really need, you are all y really need. And i'm just so bored of wasting my time, love and death always on my mind".

::: Love And Death - The Stills :::

No cabe duda de que el album es uno de los mejores debuts que he escuchado y un grupo prometedor. Su nuevo album se espera para el 9 de mayo del 2006. He escuchado algunas canciones, y por mucho, no es lo mismo que su primer album, aunque suena bien, pero ya veremos... Aquí les dejo un adelanto del Without Feathers para que comparen. "It’s nice to see you’re moving on, i know it’s hard to carry on, but it’s just never what it was in the beginning".

How can i go forward when i don't know which way i'm facing?


How?
John Lennon

How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?
How can I go forward when I don't know which way to turn?
How can I go forward into something I'm not sure of?
Oh no, oh no

How can I have feeling when I don't know if it's a feeling?
How can I feel something if I just don't know how to feel?
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied?
Oh no, oh no

You know life can be long
And you got to be so strong
And the world is so tough
Sometimes I feel I've had enough

How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
How can I give love when I just don't know how to give?
How can I give love when love is something I ain't never had?
Oh no, oh no

You know life can be long
You've got to be so strong
And the world she is tough
Sometimes I feel I've had enough

How can we go forward when we don't know which way we're facing?
How can we go forward when we don't know which way to turn?
How can we go forward into something we're not sure of?
Oh no, oh no

"Don't Believe the Truth"

Some of you might be aware of my interest in posting reviews about the concerts i go to (you can find all of the past reviews at My Space in MSN). After Interpol's concert (the best of my life) i decided that i wouldn't be missing anymore concerts! I missed concerts because of school, money, time... But it won't happen again! One of the concerts that i missed in the past (two times) was Oasis. I am not his biggest fan but i enjoy'em tons! It was not the best concert for me because i didn't know a lot of songs that they played. The opening song, "Fuckin' in the Bushes" it's one of the best songs to start a concert, ever! Pure rock! After a couple of songs "Lyla" came and the Palace explode... "I've waited for a thousand years for you to come and blow me of my mind". Then a setlist of songs that i didn't know and after three or four songs it was "Songbird" which is one of my fauvorites! That was great, but the highest point of rock was exposed with "Live Forever". "Aquiesce" and "Supersonic" were great too, and the Palace was went crazy with those, but the venue was happy too with sad songs like "Champagne Supernova" and obviously "Wonderwall"... The perfect time to get out of our pockets every single cellphone and lighter! "Rock'n'Roll Star" was the last song before the encore and they returned to play "Don't Look Back in Anger"... I went nuts!!! "So Sally can't wait, she knows it's too late as we are walking on by". It was a good concert although they didn't play one single song from my fauvorite album, "Be Here Now". Vaquero was the support act and i enjoyed "Sunshine" and "Dying to Live" a lot.

Liam... such an arrogant guy! I tend to like that...


Noel, the real genious... He sings the best songs un my opinion...

Ok, in addition to the review i'm gonna post my fauvorite songs from each of the albums that i have:
