Stomach Always Itches After Eating

On television, internet and downloads


a couple of weeks ago at the ceremony of a strong and sensible Goya Alex de la Iglesia said that Internet is not the future but today. A strong and clear statement of which do not think there are many people who hesitate. Applied it to their environment and of course movies and much better for television. In my case, television has become only a means to reproduce the recordings I get from the Internet, I rent movies on video club and occasionally to see basketball games. I do not see almost any program, series or news program broadcast by any channel. It has long been a meeting that ended in front of the TV to see what they throw. Today almost anything you want you can find on the Internet. This tool has completely changed the leisure, the way people enjoy audio-visual content and the writer will only see advantages. The contents of the letter, how and when the user wants. Without advertising, the engine that drives the conventional audiovisual.

As a result of all these audiences are more fragmented and despite what we want to sell are less important than ever. Figures sing and while we dizzy with millions of viewers and share offer is so wide that the parameters to measure the vaunted return to the force have changed. But as a user of these things I do not care. What I like about the Internet is the ability to find information about anything and share it with anyone. Without fencing off the field. All this does not prevent there to select, filter and discard the superfluous but the job is minimal effort hygienic offset by the results. Even when people are stubborn to put obstacles even though the judges issue decisions that do not like the Executive.

By
Internet over the years I've done a few sets essential in my diet. Series that are shared by millions of users around the world through programs of P2P file sharing. Now the law seeks to regulate those tools and asked me how, how can you stop the free exchange of information without profit. In the eighties the world recorded on cassette tapes or VHS movies and music and is not arming the current turmoil because the Internet has done is to facilitate access to more people. Before a lot of us and we recorded and shared many more and now we think that's dangerous. And we all pay a fee for private copying. It is logical to fight because someone top manta benefits from the work of another but since when is it illegal for a friend I record a movie or an album for my private consumption. I explain how to regulate it. One of the Government's intention is to close the pages that make money with downloads (software) and prosecute those who, even without profit, acting in bad faith "cause of material injury" ("send?). Behind everything is a business model obsolete and too obscure interests that I hope not succeed. And if they do will be interesting to see how millions of people are written off as effectively as ADSL says Gonzalez Sinde lit: "What people want ADSL 6-megs if that does not need to check my email? ".

Anyway I recommend reading about these issues to people with more baggage and control than I do, miserable and rodent parasite:

Don Winslow. The Power of the Dog

discovered the power of dog Don Winslow on the blog The Mansion on the Hill where the author was an enthusiastic review on this novel. This is an ambitious book as Winslow makes a journey through thirty years of drug trafficking in the United States and Mexico. To investigate this sordid world is documented and found more shit than all the world to pick up shovels. In the preface, the novelist also Fresán Rodrigo tells us what one American critic wrote about the novel: "If ten percent of the power of the dog were true, it would be horrifying. That ninety percent can be true is almost unbearable. " The writer did a commendable job of research and novel with success. It may be relatively easy to document and gather information but not so much write a novel like this. For that you have to have talent to spare narrative and Winslow. And while the documentary work can be simple no less dangerous in view of the topic it touches.


The Power of Raw dog is a novel written directly, without ceremony, delving into the wound. It is very violent but that violence is not free, you believe it, which is disturbing. The author himself admits in an interview he found the process exhausting and depressing. And it is not surprising because everything revolves around the drug is tremendous. The relationship between drug policy and South American countries and the United States is there, explained in great detail. And frightened and disgusted. But besides being a novel that reads like history is what really catches the author's ability to create characters of flesh and blood, real, with its many contradictions caught in an impossible world to change. The DEA agent Art Keller , cold murderer Callan, the father revolutionary stop the high-flying prostitute Nora .... Characters attractions for Winslow worked so well that makes you feel sympathy for them. And why make it easy.


A Winslow has been compared with James Ellroy and may be a good reference but personally I think less schematic Winslow and sharper than Ellroy, richer descriptions, characters and plots. Of course the dog to me looks as good as the best Ellroy novel, which for me is still LA Confidential. In this interview Don Winslow says he is in negotiations for an HBO miniseries based on this monumental novel. The result can be an apotheosis but I can not believe everything that is told in the novel appears on the screen of any citizen. Too strong. But who knows? Maybe I am naive and live in society as hypocritical and cynical that this is more than assimilated.

Mike Ness. Cheating At Solitaire



years ago while working in a customer Gong Records asked me Cheating at Solitaire Mike Ness of . I told him that that record was the best I had written and recorded Mike Ness in his life, including all its apotheosis work with Social Distortion . It was a sincere and forceful statement. Let me just wanting to put it in his hand, kissing the disc and tell my son lucky to have enjoy this album. But delusions aside I still think the same. And anyone who has read something around here know that Social Distortion is not that I like but they are one of the bands of my life. But this album is already the host of words and music. The boy in question returned two weeks later and confirmed that he loved me. Not wet itself was better than his work with Social Distortion and of Me. To enjoy both.

is the first time I've written twice on the disc. The honor or disgrace is for Cheating at solitaire. An album on which I have absolute devotion. As a friend when a disc is obsessed, living in that Disk colleague. Both have always been very enthusiastic about our views and defend this tooth and nail. I carry it always in the MP4. Do not take long to listen and I'm sure my friend like that. In fact when we saw together Royal Crown Revue the first question he asked my colleague to Mando Dorame was for participating in this gem. Yes, I admit, we're like a fucking goat. The even worse than me. The Man would say: Get a life !!!!!!!

In an interview with Mike Ness read some of the songs had not Cheating at Solitaire Social Distortion embedded too because although the band California has put his hoof on roots music to a greater or lesser extent here but all were headed in that direction. At this point I think that is irrelevant and frankly if this album in his day had gone by the name of Social Distortion for me had not led to any trauma. I guess fans of the early and those in the ghetto respectable punk rock this album perhaps they chirp. I know glory. A double win. Joining the roots and punk attitude. 11 original songs, among which is impossible to choose and 4 versions very well chosen and executed.

Contributions are felt, especially tenor saxophonist Mando Dorame. Been marked differences in Misery Loves Company . Halfway through the track, you Dorame sprinkled with the saxophone and takes you to the end. In the next song Crime Do not Pay after introductory battery power appears with the saxophone. Dorame's solo on this track sounds of fireworks. Guitar and sax in perfect harmony. Like Man's friend which also marks the beginning of an underline command and also to vary there is another one that gets you. A ten for the presence of fellow of the Royal Crown Revue. Better impossible.

Following the boys in the Royal Flurry of Leppisto Veiko Crown is responsible for low throughout the disk. Another gifted instrumentalist, with that feeling needed for a disk with these characteristics. Daniel Glass is on drums on two versions of the album: You Win Again and Long Black Veil . Both left their mark. Unmistakable with the sticks. Subtlety and class to serve the boss of course know that Ness choose. Brian Setzer enthusiastically scratching one of his Gretsch Crime Do not Pay and Springsteen guitar playing and anger in Misery Loves Company rejuvenating fifteen years. also sings the verse that comes to hair: I Used To Think That I Was a king, Fancy cars, fancy clothes and diamond rings, Yeah But happiness is a funny thing And misery just loves company . Live has invited Springsteen to play Ness in more than a concert and vice versa. Great traveling companions.

But most of the collaborations, all very wise, well-chosen version and competent musicians have to showcase the talent of Mr. Ness to compose 11 superb tracks, musically rich and with lyrics to the best of the rock scene. I do not know what number of copies would ship this device, and if little, little or nothing known among the wider parish Social Distortion below but of course I carry with me forever. Cheating at Solitaire, Mike Ness tribute to American roots music, the series B and the black film. A hard to claim until the end of the day. And I count the hours for me with the last Social Distortion , Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes .
