Something good coming (For you and me)

It´s just a clue. It´s just a hint. It´s just a dream. It´s just me.


(Here is the same song but a stunning version with the Heartbreakers doin´their best)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSvlJe1mwlw

As they say, THIS IS REAL MUSIC. THIS IS AN ORGANIC RECORD, BRO´.

And take a look too at this movie (documentary, better to say) about the making off. By Sam Jones, by the way.
Remember: "... cos i can´t do all by myself"

Hey you, don´t be a sloth (Mojo-Petty)

I love that animal. Well, it is not true; i´m just lying again.

In fact, i´m preparing everything for coming back to work. And it´s fine. We have no stress post-traumatic or something like that, my friends. Last thursday i went to the Basque Parliament to see everybody. It was my first step. And i saw lots of people there. It was nice: politicians, journalists, friends, prima donnas (jajajajaja) and anything you can imagine. Is the Basque Country Parliament, my friends. It´s unique. Sometimes really boring, but others amazing (not too much)

Anyway. I can stand it. For sure. I can stand it. And it sounds great if you play one song. Rock and blues, of course. Tom Petty, could be the answer. He is not a sloth, that is clear, enve though Mojo is his first album in eight years. And you have his new cd...... Mojo to play wherever you are, bro´. It sounds like the best Led Zeppelin, don´t  you think so? Take a look

I should have known it. It´s Jimmy Page hidden out there??????



Hey, that band know how to do it¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

And here is and old tune. Sarkozy, listen to this. Who wants to live as a Refugee?????

Who Knows? Mavis and Jeff (Soul and Rock) do

The future is unwriten and we know it.

That is the reason why we salute new things like this. Take a look at this recent review in the New York Times about the collaboration between Jeff Tweedy (Wilko) and Mavis Staples (the soul singer)
We love them

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/19/arts/music/19staples.html?_r=1&ref=music

and enjoy the music too



Soul and rock, past and future. We love that way, yeaaaahhhhhhhh¡¡¡¡¡

Good morning everybody.

Breakfast in Bilbao (Supertramp not dead)

 I have just arrived from Barakaldo, a city close to Bilbao. Now is 2.10 am in the Basque Country. And again it´s really funny because i have just arrived from San Francisco (California) and here i´m having breakfast with Supertramp. Do you remember that group?
Well. we have grown up with them and they are remembering right now the release of one of their best albums: Breakfast in America.
They are touring now and the concert in Barakaldo is been really good. The virtuosity (Amaia, the Almirant and i were thinking about that double Lp in Paris) on the stage has been incredible. Every song they played is been responded with applauses, cheers, shouts, dancings, claps and whatever you can imagine. Outstanding. People is been perfect today. And it´s funny too because Chris McCandless called himself Alexander Supertramp in his adventure in Alaska. What a coincidence, guys¡¡¡¡¡¡

OF COURSE i know Roger Hogdson is not playing in Supertramp since ?????? two decades of even more (i don´t know exactly), but it doesn´t matter. The music is there, my friend. And the tunes they have played tonight are fantastic, terrific, awesome.




And here is Roger (in 1989, along) with a scream againts the american society in USA

"What would you say if they are calling you a radical, a liberal, fanatical a criminal??????"




They have been puting all that typical images about LA(you know girls, Hollywood, the star system.......) And it´s been funny. Yesterday i was in San Francisco and today having breakfast with Supertramp.
That is life, my friends, that is LIFE.

See you soon. My jet lag is not really bad so i´m goin´to sleep now. Before the concert, we´ve been in Panera having drinks with my people. Nice to meet everybody again here. That is my tribe and i enjoy with them a lot. I´m really lucky having all that incredible people with me (and me with them. of course). I´m really lucky, i can assure it.

Last day-night in San Francisco, in Sakana (Yoko´s recommendation)

A great day and night in San Francisco. The last one.

We went again to Mission, the mexican-alternative place in the city. We love that place. Not only because of the graffitis -Josu, i think you have to go there. For you is gonna be heaven, my friend-, but for its people, restaurants, music shops (ohhhhhhh my goodness, we are really and completly broke by now) and anything you can imagine.
So far, so good.
Javi and me were thinking (dreamin better to say´) about taking a job in The San Francisco Chronicle and sharing a house in Mission (in Valencia street, for example, a lovely place to live in)
In fact, we left our CV in the newspaper yesterday. Just in case, you know?

The Staff in the Chronicle said that they are thinking about us (just kidding)

In any case, Mission and the surrondings are really impressive. Josu, i think is a good place for you. I wil talk with your mother (Karmele, think too about this idea and don´t get fool)

I was trying yesterday to contact with Steve, my teacher in LSI, Do you remember that guy? I guess you do.

But it was impossible. The cell phone number i wrote before leaving LSI was wrong and i sent him two emails but probably he didn´t check his email. So we decided to go to Mission and later on to have some txikitos (wine) with Yoko, our best photographer and a good  new friend from...... Japan of course.

A friend of Yoko recommended her a japanese restaurant called Sakana (It´s funny because Sakana is a part of the Basque Country, in fact it´s in Navarra), and we had a relly good time there, after some txikitos in a nice bar close to Chinatown.

Yoko choose almost all the dishes and the dinner was great. I MEAN GREAT GREAT GREAT

Yoko and John (sorry, Aitor jajajajajaja) And all the food too.

 Well Molly is suppose to come to the SFO airport right now. Javi is in Terminal 3, i´m in Terminal 1 and we don´t know were Molly is. Molly is my afternoon class´ teacher in LSI. She is flyin today to Rome´. But yesterday she went to the beach, just to play with the animals. Look at this

Poor animal. What have you done, Molly. What a killer jajajajajaja.

How is life. Molly has just called me while i was writing this. Magic, miracles, who knows.

Mission is not the End of the road (Josu y 2)

We are in San Francisco again. And everything is here again: The Fog, the Meztgers (my home stay family in Berkeley) sometimes a little bit of sun, our friends (Molly, Yoko, Steve, Palm, Yong, Roy....), the homeless too, the tourists (horreur) and Mission. We went to Mission the other day and i was thinking again in Josu, Karmele. What a graffities¡¡¡¡¡¡

This is one of the artists.

Enjoy just a touch of them. I think is better than Beck and Palin (of course it is)

And this is my home stay family. They are flying to Turkey in a few days.

Dean and Ann, with a friend of mine from Turkey, Arzu.

This part is incredible, don´t you think so?

Here are the last two ones.We have more so i can show you in Bilbao, Josu

                                                                    Under the Sea

Well as i told you before, this is not the end. just another step.

Sun is shinnig in SF, so lest go. The luggage can wait (of course it can) And is gonna be a heavy one, i think all of you know what i mean, jajajajajajajajajajja.

This is Dolores Park (Mission), where you can find a rastafari smoking ganja and a family playing with their kids. Amazing.
I think Mission (Valencia Street and Dolores Park) is the new and real Haight Ashbury of the XXI century.


THIS IS THE LAST ONE, JOSU

Sarah Palin and Glen Beck: "Dont drink the Tea (party)"

Only steamed rice, Why?

We were there againts Sarah and Beck, of course. But first of all, as a good journalist, Iturri (Javi, alias Josepo) was taking his special lunch: steamed rice. Incredible.

Well, well, Aitor, WTF! You know, my friend, that i was eating steamed rice because I was concerned about I saw before. I know you are broke...but do you need to still....A T-SHIRT!!!????

But that wasn´t the worst thing i have to see this afternoon. Can you believe next pic?

Ufff, This is a hard pain, you know what I mean, my friend... a hard hard pain. But, don´t lie to your readers. What do you do after taking that photo. Ok, I was with Sarah, but...what was your company? What do you think about that?

And what about you, my friend? Playing games with the enemy jajajajajajaj

Oh My Fuckin´God (OMFG)

Well. but later on he was fighting againts the horrible couple in Anchorage. That is our Iturri (Javi) and that is his way jajajaja.

Ok, this is the war. But we will continue it in a few hours. We don´t want to lose the flight.

And we didn´t, my friend. We are now in Seattle, the place were The Starbucks began, don´t you remember?
And here we are, close to a Starbucks in the airport. And Beck and Sarah Failing (yes, it is not an error) i have writen Failing.
Take a look at these people on the demostration and the ones that are lining up just to go to the show in The Civic Center in Anchorage.

They were taking pics of the demostration and there were only two policemen. Can you imagine that in the Basque Country? Sorry, i can not.

Uuuuuhhhhh, i´m really scared.

But is all about money, folks, don´t forget that. The ticket cost between 75 bucks and 260 $. Profits

This was during the morning. Just preparing the demostration with a coffee and a cow.

Sorry, this man wasn´t there, jajajajajajaja.

It´s a new dawn in Anchorage, but Night belongs to lovers

Today is our last day in Anchorage and i want to start it with one of my favorites (favourites if you are from the United Kindgdom)tunes of Patti Smith.

Enjoy it.

PS Today is Glen Beck (the fascist) and Sarah Palin´s (i don´t know what to say about that woman jajajajajaj)show in Anchorage. What to do, what to do? Still thinking about it.

Ladies and gentlement:

We can smell San Francisco from Anchorage (F**** Palin-Beck)

I love this girl. Tori Amos. And i love this song too. I think she has done something completely different. And that is perfect for me now.

I have remembered this song by Nirvana (which is one of Kobain´s well known tunes) and i have just remembered SF´s fog and everything.
Now it´s too late, but we are really happy. Everything is under control now and that is the most important thing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaAI3jI7uCc

And of course i love too Patti Smith version. You can find it in her las cd/lp. Please,click here the last part is incredible. Don´t you think so?

WE WANT THE GOLDEN GREAT BRIDGE AND WE WANT IT NOW¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

See you soon Frisco. Again with our tribe, again with our friends.

Run towards your goals now¡ Tomorrow could be late

Ohhhhhh Thank you for your comments Molly (our first follower in the latest top ranking) and thank you to Karmele too (I was missing you so much during the last weeks. By the way, take a look at the second part of the graffitis and show it to Josu please, if you don´t mind of course. It´s been a pleasure to make that pics for him). Thanks all of you. It´s been a pleasure to read your comments during all this months. And we are still here writing and having fun. That ´s life. Or not? Who knows?

Anyway, i was decided today to post another thing in my blog but Karmele´s comment has made me think about life. Well, not only what Karmele has posted in the blog, there is another thing but..... i´m not allowed to talk about that now. You all will understand it later (in the following weeks, i mean)

But first of all i want you to see and share with us part of our journey to Seward, in the South of Alaska. We took the train in Anchorage (5.30 am stand up uhhhhhhhhh) and that was one of our best ideas (and we have a lot of jajajajajja). It´s been fantastic. We were like pioneers during the Goldrush in Alaska: everything was new and we have enjoyed the trip in the Alaskan Railways.

Take a look.

A glacier from the train. Awesome, yes.

We are feeling better today.

By the way, Shara Palin and Glenn Beck (and the tea party, i guess) are coming to Anchorage september 11th. And we are goin´to stay there, in Anchorage, i mean. You know, the meeting is really expensive. I have read today in the newspaper that you have to pay between 75$ and 250$ more or less. Fuck the Tea Party, smash the system, break the law. No ceasefire in Seward¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Yes Molly, we are plotting something to explode the meeting. But that will be in Anchorage. We are in Seward now. That is all. And we want wine again. Free-Wi.......ne for the People,

Sírvela otra vez, Patxi¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pro_Fl9shjg

And no stones in our bodies. FOR SURE¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

There are clues in these stories. Read it carefully, my friends.

Next hint: Doctor in Alaska.

Hot Springs. Is it summer in Alaska? Of course

Last day in Denali Park was great too. Of course we didn´t do the whole Stampede trail. I mean we didn´t reach the magic bus. Do you remember?

Yes, Cris McCandless

In deed, the magic bus where McCandless passed away was really far. You need one day and a half hiking to reach the bus. But we went inside the tundra and best of all, we got the best shots of the Mount McKinley. The weather was incredible and it is not easy to get that pics of that mountain from Denali Park. We did it and we were happy. Now you can see the tundra and the Highest One.

It´s huge, it´s great, it´s in Alaska. You have to go.

Iturri is happy but tired.

It was hard but don´t worry, the best it´s coming.

After four hours of hiking, we decided to go to Fairbank and later to Chena Hot Springs. Why not?

And we had good times there too. Chena Hot Springs are 350 miles away from Anchorage. Yes too far. But you know we saw yesterday too the Aurora Boreial. Can you imagine the satisfaction after too many miles of hiking and driving? I have no pics, but i can tell you that it´s a king of miracle in heaven, my friends. Outstanding and awesome. Mother Nature is still working for us. I can not understand why, because we are not treating her well, just the opposite. Anyway, enjoy while you can and live and let die, that is my motto.

Tomorrow we are going to Seward to see the glaciers.We are going by train. We will get up at 5.30 am to take it at 6.45 am. I´m goin to sleep now. Goodnight in Anchorage (Alaska)

PS. Gara, we have been without Wi-fi for skyping. I´ll try to do it in Seward tomorrow. Kssssssss

Glen Beck and Sarah Palin are planning to come to Anchorage together next 11th. And we are coming back that day to Anchorage. OMFG. We have to do something. Any ideas????? No ceasefire in Anchorage, jajajajajaja. Eat the rich, eat Sarah.

Long nights. Goodbye Stampede Trail. Out of the Wild

Let me feel i´m falling i´m falling safely to the ground



The magic bus is with us. The magic bus is in my head. The magic bus is when you enjoy with your friends and relatives.

Goodbye Cris McCandless. We are alive and we want to enjoy and have fun everyday.

The Stampede Trail, Today´s Adventure (No ceasefire in Denali)

We are goin´ to the Stampede Trail right now. Good Luck for us.

We hope we will post something before our hiking. FOR SURE.

We are prepared. Take a look.

NO CEASEFIRE IN STAMPEDE TRAIL. COME ON.

Into the wild life in Denali (No ceiling)

The banjo is playing just for all of you. Click the movie and listen to the soundtrack of Into The Wild while you are seeing the pics. We have been from 8am to 4 pm inside this awesome national Park and preserve. And i have no comments to tell you my friends. It´s been incredible. We have seen almost everything.

BEARS TOO, BEARS TOO, BEARS TOO, BEARS TOO (i think eight black grizzlies more or less) And Javi is still alive. Now is taking a nap, exhausted after running towards the bears jajajajajajajaj all day long.
Well, take a look but here you can see Mooses, Caribus, Dall sheeps, Wolves, Grizzlies. We saw birds too and the Tundra and Taiga in the beginning of the Fall. AWESOME. No celing above us.

Ten or even more wolves.

Two bears. Yes they were pretty far away but here they are.

A Moose inside the Tundra in Denali.

A hiden Moose

Dall sheeps in Denali

Two more bears

OH MY F**** GOG. This is a family, Ms Palin jajajajaja

We don´n know what type of animal is this one. I was asking to two or three rangers in Denali but it was impossible to discover this strange animal.  Take a look.

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAAJJAJAJAJAJA

Today it´s been cloudy and rainy too, but it doesn´t matter. Here, the scenery and the landscapes my friends are cozy.
