"The only police who are accepted in these times"

-
    This is my second post, this time I will talk about the best concert I attended during the last months of last year. I only refer to "the last months of the year" because during that time I attended many musical events called "tocatas" which makes the list a bit long.

    On November 21, 2019, I attended the Interpol concert at the Caupolican Theatre in Santiago. I went with two friends and we really had a good time.

    Interpol is a band from New York, with a musical style called "post-punk revival": sounds similar to those of bands like Joy Division or The Cure years ago, but with a more modern sound.

    The concert was something wonderful, the atmosphere generated by the lights, the smoke, the small space and a big "disco" ball on the roof made everybody feel in a concert full of melancholy. 

    An anecdote that I remember very well, was the way in which an atmosphere of protest was maintained (for October 18) despite being in a concert. Sam Fogarino, the band's drummer, kept the same rhythm on the bass drum, while people started jumping around shouting "el que no salta es paco". It was a moment that left me with the feeling of being in the best concert ever.

    The next day, the local newspapers had slogans that said "the only police who are accepted in these times".

    I've listened to some of the band's songs and they're really great, I had no idea that they had come to Santiago and that they did "el que no salta es paco" must have been simply amazing xD

    Omg, how nice that you had the oppotunity to lived their "el que no salta es paco". And it is kind of a irony to think that "the police" band is actually against the police. It is a great band, they've got some really good hits, one of my favorites is "roxanne". And the voice of the vocalist creates a really nice atmosphere and mood while you hear it.

"Surprise, they're not sea spider"

     In my fourth blog, I will talk about one of my favorite animals: octopus.       The octopus is a marine animal with eight limbs, three hearts and a brain, however, it has no bones, it is an invertebrate. It is an animal that has many ways of escaping from its predators, given its limbs and its great intelligence. In addition to using his eight "arms", he also uses his ink tank to escape from his adversaries, such as marine predators or human predators. They feed on smaller animals, such as molluscs and algae.  Although it is assumed that they are sea spiders, because of their "eight arms", there are actually six arms and two legs, one of which is their reproductive organ that helps them to mate with females of the same species.       Personally, I love octopuses. Their shape, their skills and their varied species, are what catch my eye the most.  There are octopuses that, to escape their predators, camouflage themselves with their surroundings, clinging to ston

     Hello again, in this post, apparently the last one, I will talk about a topic that I love. It won't be the music this time. It will be a theory that I have been studying for almost 4 years: the "chaos theory" or better known as "the butterfly effect". The theory explains that every event can trigger even bigger events, giant consequences with other people, facts or things. Have you ever heard the phrase "everything happens for a reason", well, chaos theory would explain that premise.      How? Let's say I decide not to write this blog, my mark is deficient in English and I will have to repeat the course next semester, I will not have a free scholarship, therefore I will have to leave the university.       It ends up in uncontrollable events over time. This, on a small scale, is even more complicated when studying on a global scale, where everything that happens in Australia could have repercussions in Europe, how? who knows.The way to explain

     On my third post, I want to talk about something I really love, music. Although in the second post I already talked about something similar, I prefer to give a complete post to music in general.      Personally, it's one of the things that motivates me, keeps me happy or even makes me sad sometimes. I think that's the idea of music, that it transmits emotions. I can tell you that every day I listen to music, whatever it is.      Although I have many musical tastes, I always look for new wave, lo-fi, post-punk and what is known as "indie" music.  It's funny that the days when I don't listen to music (to read, to study, to do jobs, to cook or just to listen), are my worst days, bad things happen to me or I feel worse.      It has become a habit: to listen to music every day because makes me happy; at any time, at any moment, if there is music, I am happy. Even as I write this I'm listening to music, it's really something that became my day-to-day.
