OMG, Sabía que eran buenos, hace mas de un año i medio qe los escucho habitualmente i qe suenan en mis audífonos i en mis fiestas. Pero por Dios!; estos hombres no dejan de sorprenderme.
Acabo de apagar el dvd donde hasta hace unos segundos sonaba “Love me, baby, love me”, dando por acabado el increíble documental qe producen Romain gavras, So-me (otro genio itself) i of course, JUSTICE. Este par parisino nos muestra su alocada/violenta/high vida, a través de una intensa gira por NorthAmerica. Sabemos que podemos esperar de unos rockstars on tour, pero qué esperar de un conjunto de Cristiana/club (como se definen)? Bueno amigos, exactamente lo mismo. Mujeres, alcohol, drogas, armas, arrestos, la multitud enloqueciendo por su mismísima presencia, la actitud de ambos músicos que como resume un entrevistado en el documental, they’re the so-called “rock noveau”. Así como suena, nada de pelilargos rompiendo guitarras en grandes Marshalls. Este dúo rompe botellas en la cabeza de freaks qe los acosan, para luego salir al escenario con la mano sangrando para romper las bandejas. Las mejores fiestas, mujeres qe no los equiparan y una banda sonora digna de, bueno, ellos.
Enjoy, drugos. Como vaticinó James Hetfield en los 90’s, Justice es lo que hay and for all.
You only live once.
If suddenly I feel guilty for enjoying my life, maybe it means that all the words that came out of my mouth, and those that came out of my fingers weren’t as true as I thought they were. This is my #1 theory. The second one is about me enjoying everything in an attempt of trying not to think over things a thousand of times (even if this doesn’t seem real right now). My mind has kept me finding ways out of him, with everything that implies this action. Well, “if you want someone to hug, someone to think about at night, someone to write love letters to, someone to kiss by the pool, someone to go visit you on depressing Sundays, someone to google when you are bores, well, finding that is a piece of cake!”
And YES it is. To anyone, that’s a bloody piece of cake. But a couple of months ago, when I could dedicate a song like “I could die for you” (RHCP) to “someone”… damn! I really felt it. And that kind of love can’t be replaced so easily. I mean, now, a couple of weeks after E V E R Y T H I N G ended, I can tell by sure that this wasn’t just love, only love. At all.
It was a complete mess that involved love, passion, madness, extreme desire of breaking all rules, of changing history, of not allowing distance breake a solid relationship, amongst all. But, without really thinking about it, now I’m talking in a past tense. (Wow). i wish that we could have acomplished everything we wanted, but we wasn’t strong enough to take everything a LDR means.
And now, well… life can’t be over at this point. MOst of the time I think (I know) everything is just starting. Life’s just starting and maybe everything I lived was to show me things are beautiful as long as they last alive, but fate is way stronger and sometimes you just have to give up.
As my beloved Julian Casablancas says, “you only live once”, and I’ll do everything in my power to start feeling again, cos’ life, my life, is passing me by as I write this.
Love,
Romme.
Style and rock music: related nouns?
A couple of days ago, I was sitting on my computer visiting the US Rolling Stone’s magazine official webpage, and I read an article that I found really interesting. The article talked about the importance of the style in the nowadays rock music, and the so-called “style Icons” in rock.
It’s a known situation the importance of the looks and of the image in each part of the entertainment industry, not only in America, but also in the world. And even though we can affirm this, it’s also a known factor that the rock music always had different parameters of comparison between the image that people thought rockers should have and those ones that should belong to other music artist from a different genre.
But now, leather jackets and tight jeans are left behind for a new wave of rockers that also, lead the runways of the whole world and set the trends of new kinds of fashion. Today, we not only can enjoy the music but also we can delight our eyes and fashion sense with artists like Kanye, like Amy Winehouse, that base their music in a perfect style of fashion. There are also many examples of artists that besides of selling records and going on tour, they also take advantage of their popularity by releasing their own clothing line, like Diddy and it’s famous brand “Sean John”, 50 cent with his very own “G-unit” or even MK and Ashley, the Olsen sisters, that left behind their 4-year-old image to build a millionaire empire of many articles, including of course, haute couture clothing and shoes. Also, new indie artist like MGMT (read management) worked like an inspiration for famous designers like Gucci for it new Fall/Winter 009 collection.
So, this theory works like an explanation to understand why the image it’s so important nowadays in the music, where not only is important to hear something good, when the sound also enters to your body through your eyes.
No Under My Baby
And I know for certain only one thing today, and that is, I shouldn’t never stopped this train, cos’ now I have no place to lead on, and with my own troubles, that doesn’t seem nice or, at least healthy.
I really have to work on each move I decide to make, specially if it envolves drinking or being alone, alone, alone. Cos’ the most dangerous person in the whole world to me, is, simply ME.
And I don’t know how far can this go before I finally find a new station, with maps and compasses. Cos’ being lost implies being away from anything that keeps you on the right track.
There’s nothing worse than feeling completely numb. Sorry, N U M B. A plane can crash exactly next to me, like 2 metres away and I won’t feel any shock or surprise at all. (Well maybe if it happens NOW I will, cos’ I will feel like Alice Cullen). The shitty part of all of this is that I really miss having feelings without being drunk. And I’m not sure of what I need to acomplish that once again.
Ok, pizza’s waiting. I’ll go back to my dvd set of the whole first season of Gossip Girl. You can’t go any number than that, hu-h?
Romme.
