IT IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE (of course it is)




You can talk, she can says it, they can dream but....... YOU HAVE TO DO IT.

That is always the problem. And this song is perfect for that issue. Because, in the end, somebody has to do it. And it´s easier said than done.

Well, you all know that i love this group: Morcheeba. This is a song from their last cd "Blood like lemonade".

But if you have to think about an important thing, you have to put another song in your Hi-Fi from the same album.

"I´m the Spring". I know it is raining everywhere here, but for me it´s the same.

¿dont you think so?

Here it is. It´s a live and acoustic version and we love it.

Yes, i know is not a good headline, but this day it´s not been a good day either. we have lost a friend. A real one, a good one. You know what i mean?

Anyway....i was thinking about what to write here in my blog. But today i prefer just to put one song to share feelings with the world.

Best persons are leaving us..... too soon, too much. Oh my Fucking God¡¡¡¡¡¡

Txema, wherever you are now (we all know you are here with us) this song is for your children Aitor and Olatz




And this is for you Susana, what a great woman. We love you

It´s a new dawn (Morning maniac music) Got to Democracy



VOLUNTEERS (Of the Basque Country)



Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution Got to revolution
Hey I'm dancing down the streets
Got a revolution Got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution Got to revolution
One generation got old
One generation got soul
This generation got no destination to hold
Pick up the cry
Hey now it's time for you and me
Got a revolution Got to revolution
Come on now we're marching to the sea
Got a revolution Got to revolution
Who will take it from you
We will and who are we
We are volunteers of America.

Where are you?



Of course it´s a new dawn, my friends. Not only for me (yes, for me too. Today is been my first day in my new job for the Basque Government), but for the democracy inside the parties (where are you mr White), for the Human Rights in Ecuador (Long live president Correa) or in Brasil (Lula is happy, He is really happy because his candidate, Dilma Rousseff, (an ex marxist and lenninist fighter) won in the first round and we hope she will win in the end).

It´s been a lot of talk about this pic. Do you remember this photo?

From left to right, Lehendakari, me and Begoña, his wife.
Author, Emilio Alfaro.




Yeahhhhh. It was taken in San Francisco, during the official journey of the lehendakari along the USA.

"Well friends, you have seen the heavy groups, now you´ll see morning maniac music" (Thanks Grace). This is my new boat and i love Grace Slick´s eyes. Think about it, just for a second.


PS. Grace Slick and Tricia Nixon, former President Richard Nixon's daughter, are alumnae of Finch College. Grace was invited to a tea party for the alumnae at the White House in 1969. She invited the political activist Abbie Hoffman to be her escort and planned to spike President Richard Nixon's tea with 600 micrograms of LSD. The plan was thwarted when they were prevented from entering after being recognized by White House security personnel, as Slick had been placed on an FBI blacklist. (Source, Wikipedia)

We can talk further about this. And i will do it; FOR SURE, CAUSE IT´S A NEW DAWN.

And if i have to put a soundtrack for this "au revoir" i will put a nice tune of Mikel Laboa. His voice and Lekeitio and this idea of fighting.



See you soon¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Where is Dorita? (Castelrio´s party) Hello we love you

The almirant and me.


Just God knows where is Dorita right now. Yesterday we had fun, we cried, we drank, we loved, we danced, we talked, we played cards (Che Guevara not dead, well at least we hope jajajajajjaja) WE ARE THE BEST. Cause, Zurbarango Eskola, Mola, noski baietz.

It´s really late now and i´m too much tired to continue writing, i know you can understand it. But here is only another pic.



Yes, Dorita is there, and Lisardo and Nati too and more and more people (The Berritzigune people too, inspectors...) that yesterday came just to say Hello Dorita we love you (Thanks Jim Morrison and The Doors)
Anyway, tomorrow i´ll continue the post...........


This is my tribe again. For months later. gorgeous, aren´t they?

These are the girls (part of them, i mean)
....An the boys toooooooooo.

 We went to the schoolyard to continue the party. And we danced there. But the best thing was Mr. Harry Potter. Yes don´t get surprised, and don´t get fool either. Mr. Potter was in our School yesterday. There was black magic goin´on in Zurbaran and Mr Julen, the wicthcraft maker, the chaman, the jerk (sorry, it´s better to say the clown). We all know that is completely illegal, but who cares? or Who knows? or Who are you?


 And we wen to Panera because the show must go on. And you know Panera is like a blackhole: everything is possible there. So it was. But that´s another story, pals.

Take care and good music fo today too. Hello Dorita we love you¡¡¡ (A strange version)

Neil Young is back (It´s better to burn out than to fade away) LE NOISE AND LANOIS

Thanks Molly for the pics. I have just stolen from your facebook jajajajaj.


 
This summer I had the opportunity to see Neil Young in the Fox Theater in Oakland (You know the Bay Area-San Francisco-Cali). Of course it was awesome. New songs, really really good. At least i recognised seven new tunes: Peaceful Valley, Love and War, Sign of Love, You never call, Leia, Gang of four and Entertaimenand the unreleased song Hitchhiker. And there they are. You can listen to part of that list in his new work "Le Noise"

That was on July, the twelve.
Then, i bought the Uncut magazine. There was a review by Bert Jansch about Neil´s USA tour (Twisted Road-They say accoustic. I say solo) And he suggested the possibility of a new album produced by Daniel Lanois. I like that guy and i said to myself: that idea could work. And it works my friends, it works.

Here you have the complete record live. The great Young, the canadian indian, the free soul. OMFG

39.09 minutes of pure Young. Enjoy it¡¡¡¡¡¡

We can tall about this album later on. Now it´s time to enjoy it. Let´s do it.
