It was dificult for me pic one picture, because, I could choose a famous one, or a musician one, or a film scene one. But, I think that have most valou a picture that I took, and this it was taked the last year in Valdivia.

Every year since I go to university, me and my classmates travel to the city of Valdivia, to participate in the Film Festival of that city perfermed. This event it's almost sacred for us, because it's the time when we forget all the responsabilities of our lifes and university (jajaja).

In the image appears three friends that I love so much. And the river thet they are looking is called Calle-Calle.

The days in that place are so peaceful, the air that you breath it's so clean, and the arquitecture it's also beautiful. You can walk for all the city and never get bored. And the food! It's delicious. They sell sandwichs in a pub called "Ultima Frontera". And if you want eat fish or food like that, you can go to the market in the creek.

Every time that I look this picture it remains me that moments, that we enjoy of watching movies all day (like 4 each day), or drinking beers in the river, or dancing in the casino of the city, even with some of our teachers.

I remember when that day, one of our teacher bought us like, I don't know, 50 beers in a pub?
To all my class. It was so funny. Or when in the night we saw Nicolas Lopez (director of Promedio Rojo) and we laught of him and his awful movie. Or how some louts wanted to fight against my two friends in that picture, so we have to face them. Or how this first year that I came, I have to do "dead dog" beacuse we don´t have money for the fuel, so with two of my friends in the picture have to run for the street at night (like how start the movie Trainspotting). That it's one of my favorites memories (ajajajaja).

At the end, the city is so great, that if the movies that we see are bad, we don't care. Because we have all the rest, and I will always continue taking pictures there.

The Strokes

The true is that write about my favorite band is the work more dificult to do, because I have many favorite ones, and decide for one only it's very hard.

I could talk about Nirvana and how Kurt Cobain blow my head off with his lyrics, and how I cry everytime thai I see his videos and documentaries; or how I pay more than $130.000 to see Mike Patton the last year with Faith No More and Zu; or how I love Cat Power and her alcoholism; or how I love every riff of Queens Of The Stone Age; or how I dance with the music of Animal Collective when they came to Chile and how this band revolutionized my concept of music (like also did Broken Social Scene).

But if a have to choose one, defenitly it could be The Strokes!
This band change mi way of feel the music, it isn't only just listen one song in the radio and recording in to a cassette (in that time), it's dancing his songs everywhere, it's sing it everywhere. It's listen all his lyrics and cry and laught with it. It's associate every song to a moment that you have once, a person, a boyfriend, a hug, a place, a trip, a nice day.

The Strokes (like Nirvana did once) change the music in this days. I in the year 2001 when they show us his first album "Is This It" the people turned crazy. The look of they always untidy, but handsomes, and a propossition of life like it was in the 70's, with riff and voices no so refined were a reference to the all new bands of garage rock or alternative rock that began to apear like The Vines, The Hives, Kings of Leon, etc.

The 2005 this band came to Chile, with Kings Of Leon for the SUE, I was in high school, and nobody in my group of friend like the band so, nobody want to join me, and as you can imagine I couldn't go. And that it's one of the few things that I regret about it in my hole life!!! I should going alone. Now I only wait that they relese his new album, and come back again.
