IS THIS APRIL? (Don´t forget the Graduate)

April, come she will--
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain.

May, she will stay--
Resting in my arms again.

June, she'll change her tune--
In restless walks she'll prowl the night.

July, she will fly--
And give no warning to her flight.

August, die she must--
The autumn winds blow chilly and Cold

September, I'll remember--
A love once new has now grown old.


  

THE SKY IS BLUE, (My world is blue)

I have almost forgotten this girl, can you believe it? OMFG it´s incredible

She brings me to my days at the university, when her group was called Belladona.

I think my world is blue now. So far so gooooood

Is yours tooooooooo?


Listen carefully to this song and write something after that because blue is the color of the future (and of course i´m not talking about Mariano (jajajajaja)


And what do you think about this?



Do you recognize anybody there? YESSSSSSS He is Chuck Prophet and Friends (Even from Bangladesh)

..... and now you can see one of the biggest singer, artist, chameleon.


Yes as you can guess by now he has two eyes with different color but in 1972, my friends. Here it is





He was problably the man who sold the world. (and he wasn´t a politician jajajajaj)
Oh Major Tom where are you now.... Are you still in Mars or with Marx


Yeah, he is still a fucking legend¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

And i am again with all of you. 

IS THERE ANYBODY THERE?

Then....... Don´t stop me now 




An this is the end for today. No more snow falling from the sky, but he have a lot out of the blue and into the black of your memories. Goodnight.

THANKS, THANKS AND THANKS AGAIN

                                                     HEY, PEOPLE OVER THERE

Well, thanks everybody. I´m feeling better today. Just a little bit, but better in the end. And that´s good.

I think my family is going up again. Step by step, of course, but they are trying to continue with all the things we have to do,

Actors, singers, even politicians say, when they are on stage, i mean, that the show must go on¡ Does it really????? Who cares?

No answer again. I know. Nobody can explain it but the World comes and goes without taking care most of the time. And we know it. It is not in the Bible or in the sacred scriptures, but it´s true. We have to carry on with our pain (don´t you remember that tune by The Beatles... "hey, you are gonna carry that weight, carry that weight for a long time....."

Thanks friends, Jon, June, Elena, Arantza, Yoli, and Janis (and the rest of the tribe). I love my tribe. Even when i´m down, they are always there. Or perhaps i have to say it better: happy or sad, they are with me, helping me. And that is the main reason i can feel better today. "It´s getting better all the time......."


Of course, It is gonna be hard but what a hell¡¡¡¡¡ The Hell is everywhere so lets go and enjoy our lifes.

Perhaps you are wondering why i have put Janis in the list. Just because music helps in this situation. Hard times are over (that was another song) and i truly believe that is the road we are in right now.

Janis Joplin died long time ago........... but her music is still with us.

Is the same with Asier. He has jus left us, but he is still here smiling and hangin around with his friends (Hey boys and girls, all of you did it fuckin´great yesterday inside the church........ and outside too) I´m proud of everybody.
So lets go...............................................................................................................................................................
...........................................................................JANIS............................................................................
.............................JOPLIN......................





                                                         THANKS AGAIN

AND...............................................I´M YOURS

SO LETS GO........... AND SING WITH ME

Kothbiro + Laboa + Ken Zazpi (For Asier)

Sometimes, when you are down and out, only music can be a helpfull hand for our soul.

Today is one of these days. I am really down. I´m almost underground.

Asier is not with us anylonger. He has just gone, he has just left us. He is now in our hearts, in my mind. He will live forever in our hearts.

As i´m writing this i have decided to choose one song. I´m sure you, all of you, remember this film "The Constant Gardener". In the Soundtrack, there is a nice tune of Ayub Ogada. I think he was born in Senegal, a nice place to live in Africa.

That song, my friends, takes me off. Take to the the innerlight, where my soul is feeding my brain. Where you can cry along, because nobody is watching you. You are along, but with the rest of the world tooooooo.
NOW, I AM THERE. Please, stay with me too if you want.

Thanks..............




Asier loves two songsThe two of them are in basque language. One is by Mikel Laboa and the other one is by Ken Zazpi.

Enjoy them and think about this life. Where is the reason for dying bein only 31 years old? Can anybody answer to that question? I know there is no answer, only loneliness, lonesome, tears, crying, deep pain in my heart. I guess you know what i´m talking about.
Incredible, isn´t it? But true, That is life too, i know.

Well, anyway. I´ll post the two songs for you too.

Enjoy and love your brother¡¡¡¡¡¡
Enjoy and live a let live¡¡¡¡¡¡
Enjoy and cry¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡


THANKS PALS THAT IS ALL I WANNA SAY FOR TODAY.




(Mikel Laboa, Txoria txori)

AFRICA UNITE!!!!!!!! (we are the children of the higher man)



So, here we are again. It´s been a long way to return to my blog. You know, everyday is a hardworkin´ day man. But today i´ve been having lunch with a good friend of mine (and it´s not the Devil, but she has his eyes, pal) and we were talking about the 2.0 policy and that kind of things and then i have remembered that my blog was almost hiden, was almost forgiven. And, my friends, that is not possible.

So, as i told you before, here i go again.

I was talkin´ right now with a friend about the Death, about Johny Cash last album before he died and then a dread lock came into my brain. Yes, of course, i´m talking about mr Bob Marley.
GANJA FOR EVERYBODY.

And now that we cannot smoke inside pubs, bars and places like these (that is the new law in Spain, bro´), i´ve remember what happened in San Francisco. You can go to a concert there (and i did lots of times, believe me) and nobody is smoking inside the place. But, what a surprise!!!!! sometimes you can see a cloud  of smoke coming up to your place. Then you can smell it and (it doesnt smell like teenspirit.......) it´s just marihuana. And i love it.

MORE GRASS, MORE GRASS, MORE GRASS, PLEASE

Incredible, isn´t it? But true.

That´s America (well, just SF or Berkeley, to tell you the truth)

Well, enjoy the tune and u know don´t walk over the grass, JUST SMOKE IT!!! JAJ JA JAJA JA

See you soon.

PS. that man over there is Ortzirale´s cheff, The great one. Mr. Santhi. If you are a follower of Californiaaitor´s blog you have to know this man, of course.

He is really famous. And his fame is gonna grow and grow. FOR SURE, MAN, FOR SURE

just wait, if you don believe me.

Morente is Flamenco´s God (Long live Enrique)

Once up on a time, it was Camaron, doing something special.....

After his death, there was another flamenco´s singer that embrace the new line......

There it was, mr Enrique Morente. Born in Granada, Morente put the Flamenco Upsid down.

Now he is dead, but his music, his talent and his friendly is still with us.......




Hey, that music is incredible, don´t you think so with Lagartijanick

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.

Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans (Thanks John)

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
