the parting of the ways: steve leaves placebo.

El dia de hoy se publico la siguiente noticia en el myspace-blog de la banda Placebo:

PLACEBO PART COMPANY WITH DRUMMERSTEVE HEWITT

Placebo have parted company with drummer of 11 years, Steve Hewitt, due to
personal and musical differences.Brian Molko commented "Being in a band is very
much like being in a marriage, and in couples - in this case a triple - people
can grow apart over the years. To say that you don't love your partner anymore
is inaccurate, considering all that you've been through and achieved together.
There simply comes a point when you realize that you want different things from
your relationship and that you can no longer live under the same roof, so to
speak."The split is amicable and a sad time for both parties. Steve Hewitt
replaced Robert Schultzberg behind the drum kit in 1996 whilst the band were
promoting Placebo’s eponymous debut album and went on to record the following 4
studio albums ‘Without You I’m Nothing’, ‘Black Market Music’, ‘Sleeping With
Ghosts’ and most recently ‘Meds’.Placebo have just returned from the USA where
they were part of the high profile ‘Projekt Revolution Tour’ alongside Linkin
Park and My Chemical Romance. The band are now taking a well earned break.Brian
Molko and Stefan Olsdal will begin work on Placebo’s 6th studio album next
Spring and are in no rush to find an immediate replacement for Steve.

Triste noticia, despues de 10 anios de estar juntos...

Pero no se porque de repente fue adios horario de las 3, hola sabados a las 6.
Aun asi no hay que perderselo y el trailer promete mucho.

El capitulo se llama "jones and smith".
Lo que no se es si pasaron el capitulo "primero", porque era un christmas special llamado "the runaway bride". el sabado pasaddo me fui todo el dia i ni chanza de verlo ni en internet debido a oh gran tarea.
perooo ahhhh... se fue Rose!!! la mancuerna que hacian estaba genial. perooo adios ni modo.
lo bueno es que David Tennant sigue en el rol de the Doctor, actorazoooo le quedo muy bien el papel. :D

Chanson du jour: Landlocked Blues by Bright Eyes

If you walk away, I'll walk away
First tell me which road you will take
I don't want to risk our paths crossing someday
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way
And the future hangs over heads
And it moves with each current event
Until it falls all around like a cold, steady rain
Just stay in when it's looking this way
And the moon's laying low in the sky
Forcing everything metal to shine
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like a jewelry store case
They argue, walk this way, no, walk this way
And Laura's asleep in my bed
As I'm leaving, she wakes up and says"I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave
Baby, don't go away, come here"
And there's kids playing guns in the street
And one's pointing his tree branch at me
And so I put my hands up, I say, "Enough is enoughIf you walk away, I'll walk away"
And he shot me dead
I found a liquid cure from my landlocked blues
It would pass the way like a slow parade
It's leaving, but I don't know how soon
And the world's got me dizzy again
You think after twenty-two years
I'd be used to the spin
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I'm always pacing around or walking away
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
And I'm balancing history books up on my head
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase"If you love something, give it away"
A good woman will pick you apart
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
But you may be offended, and you may be afraid
But don't walk away, don't walk away
We made love on the living room floor
With the noise in the background from a televised war
And in that deafening pleasure,
I thought I heard someone say"If we walk away, they walk away"
But greed is a bottomless pit
And our freedom's a joke, we're just taking a piss
And the whole world must watch the sad comic display
If you're still free, start running away
Because we're coming for you!
I've grown tired of holding this pose
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame
Saying, "Let me walk away, please"
You'll be free, child, once you have died
From the shackles of language and measurable time
And then we can trade places, play musical graves
Until then walk away, walk away, walk away
So I'm up at dawn
Putting on my shoes
I just want to make a clean escape
I'm leaving, but I dont know where to
I know I'm leaving, but I dont know where to

live. Rockstar Taste of Chaos 2007.


Se ha confirmado. Despues de rumores y especulaciones que decian que The Used se presentaria el proximo anio en monterrey junto con Linkin Park(o si es cierto este evento?), se confirma que la banda se presentara el 8 de diciembre del presente anio en Monterrey en el Vaquero's Western Saloon. La fecha ya aparece en el sitio oficial del tour. Pero The Used no viene con Linkin Park, sino como parte del Rockstar Taste Of Chaos 2007. Por si no saben este tour se conoce tambien como "winter warped" y se ha realizado desde hace varios anios. Como explican los de Tree Productions, compania que hace posible el evento, en el myspace del evento: "INTERNACIONAL ROCKSTAR TASTE OF CHAOS Festival conocido mundialmente por acercar a algunas de las bandas mas famosas del genero en donde se hace la visita a diferentes paises en donde en ocasiones y la mayoria de las veces es dificil que estas bandas se presenten."
La venta, o preventa (como le quieran llamar), de boletos empezo hoy, 26 de septiembre en el Cafe Iguana. Se manejan dos precios: $230 general y $330 vip. que cual es la diferencia entre las dos? "la zona vip es una zona mas comfortable con mesas, sillas, lugar donde descansar, barra de bebidas (no gratis) y sus respectivos baños, es una zona donde te podras mover con mayor facilidad , tambien decirte que esta a la altura del escenario y es todo alrededor del venue" como explican los de tree productions en su blog.
Las bandas que se estaran compartiendo escenario con The Used son: Rise Against, Aiden (quien ya se ha presentado en la ciudad), The Bled, e invitados por confirmar.
Tree Productions trae shows en su mayoria de bandas del genero hardcore, al igual que I Wish Productions. Proximamente, traera a Bless The Fall, hay por el mes de abril. Al parecer el gusto por bandas de este genero ha crecido enomermente en la ciudad, ya que han traido muchas bandas de este genero. Algunas de las que se han presentado estan buenas, pero ya fue mucho no?. Me pregunto si habra algun promotor aqui en monterrey que rompa con esta tendencia y traiga bandas o cantantes como Brigth Eyes, Patrick Wolf, Kings of Convenience, The Whistest Boy Alive (que ya se ha presentando en la ciudad, y gracias a la companania que lo trajo!), entre otros. Si dudan de que atraigan publico pueden traer bandas hipsterianas (esto no quiere decir que las bandas son malas, si no que ahora estan "in") asi como CSS, o Justice o Klaxons. Justice se estara presentando en el DF, porque no traerlos aqui?. Este tour esta muy bueno, pero ojala que a alguien se le ocurra traer algun dia algo diferente.

Vid du jour: Timebomb by Beck

timebomb by beck
new video for the new song that is sold in itunes.
the video features a child-like animation of "el guerito" and other characters doing their best dance steps, they make the vid tres fun. also appearing is a rodent in a rat-tetris, who in my opinion is the best thing ever and totaally steals the vid. the song is the a catchy"damn-it-i-cant-get-that-song-out-off-my-mind-for-like-a-week" type.

The Wolf.(part 2)

just found out about who was the potographer for the amazing patrick wolf pics that appeared in 2 pitchfork articles about his north american tour. turns out the photographers are waren du preez and nick thornton jones. the photographs appear in the october 2007 iD issue.

a patrick wolf myspace fan site called wind in the wires has uploaded what i think are most of the pics. if they look great in there, they will look even better in print.
