Feliz Nochebuena
Sí, la canción es medio boluda (y el video que la acompaña, aún más), pero no por eso deja de gustarme.

Yellow - Coldplay
Quiero dedicarle esta canción a tres personas. En primer lugar, a Néstor Kirchner, quien dentro de menos de 48 horas dejará de ser presidente (como notarán, en las Perlitas de esta semana incluí varios análisis de su gobierno; yo hice el mío el 25 de mayo, cuando cumplió cuatro años en el poder, en mi anterior blog). En segundo lugar, a Mauricio Macri, quién hoy asume como jefe de Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Seguí portándote así, y dentro de cuatro años no tendremos que bancarte como presidente. En tercer lugar, a mi amigo y ex compañero del instituto Mariano (por las dudas no digo el apellido), el único macrista pergaminense que conozco, quién además es fanático de Coldplay.

Moonage daydream - David Bowie
De todos los temas del album The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, de David Bowie (del que Senses & Nonsenses habló largo y tendido acá), este es mi favorito. Generalmente no me gustan las interpretaciones en vivo, pero ésta -que data de 1973- es una de las pocas excepciones. Espero que les guste tanto como a mí.
I’m an alligator, I’m a mama-papa coming for you
I'm the space invader, I’ll be a rock ‘n’ rollin’ bitch for you
Keep your mouth shut,
You’re squawking like a pink monkey bird
And I’m busting up my brains for the words
Keep your ‘lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!
Don’t fake it baby, lay the real thing on me
The church of man, love
Is such a holy place to be
Make me baby, make me know you really care
Make me jump into the air
Keep your ‘lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!
Freak out, far out, in out

The man comes around - Johnny Cash
Escuché por primera vez esta canción en los créditos iniciales de la más que aceptable remake de 2004 de El amanecer de los muertos, de George Romero. Como deducirán los que sepan algo de inglés, está plagada de referencias bíblicas al Apocalipsis y al Libro de las Revelaciones, por lo que era bastante adecuada para un film sobre la destrucción de la sociedad, y también es adecuada para musicalizar este video.
And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder: One of the four beasts saying: “Come and see.” And I saw. And behold, a white horse.
There’s a man goin’ ‘round takin’ names.
An’ he decides who to free and who to blame.
Everybody won’t be treated all the same.
There’ll be a golden ladder reaching down.
When the man comes around.
The hairs on your arm will stand up.
At the terror in each sip and in each sup.
For you partake of that last offered cup,
Or disappear into the potter’s ground.
When the man comes around.
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers.
One hundred million angels singin’.
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum.
Voices callin’, voices cryin’.
Some are born an’ some are dyin’.
It’s Alpha and Omega’s Kingdom come.
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
The virgins are all trimming their wicks.
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
It’s hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
‘Till Armageddon, no Shalam, no Shalom.
Then the father hen will call his chickens home.
The wise men will bow down before the throne.
And at his feet they’ll cast their golden crown.
When the man comes around.
Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still.
Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still.
Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.
Listen to the words long written down,
When the man comes around.
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers.
One hundred million angels singin’.
Multitudes are marchin’ to the big kettle drum.
Voices callin’, voices cryin’.
Some are born an’ some are dyin’.
It’s Alpha and Omega’s Kingdom come.
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
The virgins are all trimming their wicks.
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
It’s hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
In measured hundredweight and penny pound.
When the man comes around.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts, and I looked and behold: a pale horse. And his name, that sat on him, was Death. And Hell followed with him.

One step closer - Linkin Park
I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I’ve said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you’ll say
You’ll find that out anyway
Just like before…
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I’m one step closer to the edge
I’m about to break
I find the answers aren’t so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before…
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
Shut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I’m about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break

Dream a little dream of me - Mama Cass
Lamentablemente, tengo que entrar en otro período de poca actividad bloguera. Pronto comienzan los finales del instituto y tengo que ir preparándome si quiero llegar al 2008 con todas o la mayoría de las materias aprobadas; por suerte logré sortear con éxito los parciales y regularizarlas todas. Probablemente lo último que postee esta semana en el blog sean las Perlitas de la blogósfera IX. Así que los dejo con esta canción de Mama Cass Elliot.

Calm like a bomb - Rage against the machine
Pido disculpas por mi falta de originalidad, pero hoy quiero postear otra canción con dedicatoria, esta vez para el presidente de nuestro país hermano, Tabaré Vázquez, que ayer decidió gentilmente ordenar por fax dar permiso a la pastera Botnia para comenzar a funcionar, dejando a todo el mundo -tanto a los argentinos como a los mediadores españoles- absolutamente desconcertados.También quiero recomendarles leer este análisis que hace Oscar Raúl Cardoso en su blog sobre la disputa y este artículo de la tribuna de doctrina donde se adelantan dos medidas de represalia que podría tomar el gobierno de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner contra Uruguay: bajar el rango de nuestro representante en ese país de embajador a encargado de negocios y, lo más interesante, controlar más severamente las transacciones financieras entre ciudadanos argentinos y bancos uruguayos. Yo siempre he considerado que Uruguay se destaca en cuatro actividades económicas: agricultura, ganadería, turismo y lavado de dinero (principalmente argentino).
Feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, check it out, yo, yo, yo
I be walkin’ god like a dog
My narrative fearless
My word war returns to burn
Like Baldwin home from Paris
Like Steel from a furnace
I was born landless
This is tha native son
Born of Zapata’s guns
Stroll through tha shanties
And tha cities remains
Same bodies buried hungry
But with different last names
These vultures rob everything
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point on tha globe
Yes tha pictures tha same
There’s a bank
There’s a church
A myth and a hearse
A mall and a loan
A child dead at birth
There's a widow pig parrot
A rebel to tame
A whitehooded judge
A syringe and a vein
And tha riot be tha rhyme of tha unheard
what ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?
What ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?
What ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?
What ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?
Calm like a bomb
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Calm like a bomb
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
This ain’t subliminal
Feel tha critical mass approach horizon
Tha pulse of tha condemned
Sound off America's demise
Tha anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Yes I spit fire
Hope lies in tha smoldering rubble of empires
Yes back through tha shanties and tha cities remains
Tha same bodies buried hungry
But with different last names
These vultures rob everyone
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point here at home
Yes tha picture's tha same
There's a field full of slaves
Some corn and some debt
There’s a ditch full of bodies
Tha check for tha rent
There’s a tap, tha phone, tha silence of stone
Tha numb black screen
That be feelin' like home
And tha riot be tha rhyme of tha unheard
What ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?
What ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?
What ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?
What ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?
Calm like a bomb
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Calm like a bomb
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Calm like a bomb
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Calm like a bomb
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Calm like a bomb
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Calm like a bomb
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Calm like a bomb
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Calm like a bomb
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Calm Like a bomb
There’s a mass without roofs
There’s a prison to fill
There’s a country’s soul that reads post no bills
There’s a strike and a line of cops outside of tha mill
There’s a right to obey
And there’s a right to kill
There’s a mass without roofs
There’s a prison to fill
There’s a country’s soul that reads post no bills
There’s a strike and a line of cops outside of tha mill
There’s a right to obey
And there’s a right to kill

Autodedicatoria descarada
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who’s there
Feeling unknown
And you’re all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I’ll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I’m a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus…
Feeling unknown
And you’re all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I’ll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I’m a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith

Escena de María Antonieta con una anomalía
Esta escena de la película María Antonieta, de Sofía Coppola, muestra a la polémica reina francesa divirtiendose con sus amigas, mientras suena una versión remixada de I want candy, de Bow Wow Wow. Al principio de la secuencia puede verse un objeto que no pertenece a ese tiempo y lugar. ¿Será un error de la producción o algo intencional?

Dos canciones con dedicatoria
Con ya casi el 60% de las mesas escrutadas podemos decir sin temor a equivocarnos que Cristina Elizabeth Fernández de Kirchner y Julio César Cleto Cobos son la presidenta y el vicepresidente electos de la República Argentina. Quiero dedicarles la primera canción -God save the Queen, de Sex Pistols- a ellos, y la segunda canción -You can’t always get what you want, de los Stones- a los candidatos derrotados en estos comicios (especialmente al falso ingeniero Juan Blumberg, que fue lapidado en la provincia de Buenos Aires, quedando ¡noveno!).God save the Queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential H-bomb
God save the Queen
She ain’t no human being
There is no future
In England’s dreaming
Don’t be told what you want
Don’t be told what you need
There’s no future, no future,
No future for you
God save the Queen
We mean it man
We love our Queen
God saves
God save the Queen
‘Cause tourists are money
And our figurehead
Is not what she seems
Oh God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh Lord God have mercy
All crimes are paid
When there’s no future
How can there be sin
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in your human machine
We're the future, your future
God save the Queen
We mean it man
We love our Queen
God saves
God save the Queen
We mean it man
And there is no future
In England’s dreaming
No future, no future,
No future for you
No future, no future,
No future for me
No future, no future,
No future for you
No future, no future
For you
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
No, you can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need
Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh…
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, “We’re gonna vent our frustration
If we don’t we’re gonna blow a 50-amp fuse”
Sing it to me now…
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was “dead”
I said to him
You can’t always get what you want, no!
You can’t always get what you want (tell ya baby)
You can’t always get what you want (no)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes! Woo!
You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh yeah!
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
You can’t always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes…

Walk on - U2
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring…
And love is not the easy thing…
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can’t leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it’s a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can’t steal it
No they can’t even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight…
You’re packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't deny it
Can’t sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Home… hard to know what it is if you never had one
Home… I can’t say where it is but I know I'm going home
That’s where the heart is
I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Leave it behind
You’ve got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme…
