Una de mis bandas preferidas, Los Humanoides, van a estar tocando este viernes 28 en el Teatro Bar, asi que vayan! Yo iré. Tambien estará tocando la banda Malegua, nunca la escuchado en vivo, así que tendré la oportunidad de conocer a una nueva banda.
-
Ahora, sobre el Teatro Bar. Parece que el local en donde tocan las bandas tiene uno de los mejores sonidos de Caracas. Eso esta por probarse, ya que yo soy un Freak del sonido, y lo mas minimo me molesta. Pero yo creo que el Ing. de Sonido Live de Los Humanoides puede poner a sonar bien a cualquier banda en vivo, con cualquier configuración de equipos, así que voy despreocupado. Biggups To A.

Yo la primera vez que entre a el Teatro Bar, un seguridad me dijo que me subiera los pantalones, porque “se me veian los boxers”. Este, a mi en ningun lugar del planeta donde dicen tocar o poner “Funk” y “Rockanroll” me han dicho semejante cosa – Ver post de abajo, el anterior y anteriores, por ejemplo – Tambien aunque me atendia una bar atender bastante simpatica, habia otro que parecia que no tenia muchas ganas de trabajar, ni ahí ni en nigun lugar, porque estaba bastante mal educado con un carajo que en ese tiempo le estaba comprando vodkas de a por 4 ò 5 la tanda -Yo: We party Hardy – Lo que si tienen es un servicio de taxi genial que funciona al segundo, pero con una inconsistencia no admitible para estandartes globales de hoy en dia.

Vamos a ver si la Filosofia de la gente del Teatro Bar a cambiado. Y no me vuelvan a “llamar la atencion” por llevar bajos los pantalones, en una noche donde ponen “Funk”, o a ver si me vuelve a faltar el respeto un Barman, que deberia de estar sirviendome con gratitud. Y bueno, el servicio de taxi se puede repetir. Pero ojo, que ya no estamos en los 90`s, aquí hay que tener cuidado con quien te montas en un carro.
-
Dicho todo esto, que es mi opinion y mi vision formada por años y años de atender a toques fiestas conciertos en todo tipo de “Venues” en muchas partes, hay otra gente que le encanta el lugar. Bien por ellos.
-
Ahora el punto mas critico del asunto. Parece que tratan mal a los músicos. Eso es un pecado que no se puede dejar pasar así tan fácil en Caracas. Oh Teatro bar, repent while there´s time. Asi, en ingles, para que lo entienda todo el mundo.

One of my Fav Caracas band is playing in a controversial place, where I was reprimanded for wearing my pants low and showing my boxers, on a “Funk” showcase night. Most of the bar attenders are really ewky and seem to never have stepped out of their porch. And their ultimately sin in all religions: rumor has it that they do not treat very nicely the musicians who play their venue. Now, that`s the biggest no no, but there`s still time to repent, Oh Teatro Bar. Am gonna attend the concert (My friends Los Humanoides are playing), and not really measure this things, but I can sense em, having spent years and years of attending all type of concerts/parties/music get togethers in all type of venues all over the place. They have a marvelous taxi company nearby, pretty much inconsistent tough, that cannot pass unsurpassed, and seems that the sound in the music venue is one of the best sounding in all Caracas. Am pretty sure A. – Excelsior friend of the House – and Live Sound Engineer of Los Humanoides, can Boost the quality of any Live Configuration, better than any gel haired stucked up engineer. So am gonna enjoy that night with sound and friends, like I always do.
I think it`s pretty cool to get to like a lot of different genres of music, and really get deep into it, so to keep it on the one. I think it was 2 or 3 years ago, when I saw a double set of The Family Stone Project on a beach in Santa Cruz, CA. It was mind blowing. It had original members, that you could recognize at first sight, as well as new players. It`s more than fair: other Funk Groups with intense ties have changed over the years it`s alignment (JB`s, Parliament-Funkadelic, Maceo Brown, The Isley Brothers, etc) and have kept doing marvelous music. In Rock, Pop, or all its variations, seems to be different. Sometimes we just hope one of our favorite Band gets together, again. Something we just hope to stumble across a news article that tells us that they´ve been reunited by some sort of magical fate. But the important thing, is, like I say, the music. The people who make it and the people who really listen, be it that they play and instrument, or not, are one. Sometimes happens that people who play or own various instruments are as far away from the core of music as they can be. That`s a whole other department that I don`t comulgate with and keep afar. I keep pushing away till it`s just one big party on stage. A serious act. The whole 9 yards. Commitment and support in all forms. Be it Punk, Folk, or Pop. Knowing the “principles” (so to speak) by which each one was founded and carried out, I only see similarities. And black-out the differences. This is one subject I can go for hours talking about, which am not gonna do now, but I`ve been known to do. With great success cuz everyone on ship thinks alike, but we all are somehow different, being the same.
While I have a set line for my sexuality (straight), confirmed by years and years of failed external attempts for a cross-over, zero chance in attempts for my conversion by gay male populata wanting a piece of this pie, some of my friends are really the whole rainbow, the whole spectrum. I`ve had wondefull friends who were male as well as girls that haven`t comed up with a set statute for their sexuality, and that`s fine with me, as long as they are feeling good, as long as they`re ok with it and their surroundings, and are conformable with it. As long as they treat themselves with respect, as well as treated by others with respect. So what the word “Gay” really speaks to me, is about Gay Rights, and that what they do it`s their own business, and that we should support their efforts. I`ll keep this post short, cuz to me it´s a normal thing. But again, that we all are in this fight to erase a certain degree of discrimination, is undeniable. So, if I know that someone has a set sexuality, like Gay for example, can mean tons of things. I list:
That they are Gay, and only like to make out with people of their own genre.
That they are Gay, but are Bi, and can make up with both genres.
Again, that they are Gay, and are open to enjoy making out with both genres, but only have relationships with the same genre. Gay/Bi
That they are Bi, and get into relationships with their own genre, and with the opposite, and make out with both. So they have freedom to make out with whoever they want. They party hardy, basically.
And all the possibilities and combinations that this scenario brings.
So people have plenty were to choose. So I don´t label anything or really worry too much about it. Be gay and be happy, don`t be gay and be happy too.
So now everybody thinks everybody is a Photographer because they take an automatic digital camera, hooked it up to some semi professional lights that fall, and take like 200 shots a minute. A professional only uses organic cameras, not digital, and if so, does not take 200 photographs a minute. And every shot is a palpable accurate one with the tongue and the camera obturation and quickness response controls. They take manual control of the camera. I practice what I preach. The whole involvement with the studio to achieve accurate colors is lost, and I have some great friends who can achieve this in the New York Area. Just got to get a hold of them from here, from Caracas. And then am the snub.

This is a photograph that I posted in my FB some time ago, called “Stairway to Nowhere”. Is full of art, professionalism, and art.
It´s part of my series “Am making a Living being a Photographer, Ma`”.

Be sure from more to come from this series, I have a whole bunch more in record.
I , always steady ready and fast, in the search of truth in this and another galaxies, had 2 inquiries to ask the great knower of all things. My search began with great excitement, a big sense of wonder, full capacity of RAM and Memory in my head, measured in Terabytes, and only 6 rules to live by. This is the part were people laugh. And I went over, crossed the globe with big adventured and foes, to come up with 2 big question that will re-define what my future will be like. Look for yourself:
And:
Pretty dull. If I search myself am pretty sure to come up with something else than what it came up with. I tough this search engines had already big cellular organic brains attached to it, with fiery wires. I`ll do the same search a year from now, just to see if the results have changed. Maybe with different words and like not exactly a year from now. This is my second try. My first try of his great experiment was posted in a Tumblr I had, and the results were amazing. It went along the weirdest thing line etc etc. Am gonna retrieve to my day to day and see what other interesting experiments I can find with search engines. Maybe tomorrow I´ll jump again into the great vast and do another Google Experiment.
I gotta love a Smiths test. Just like I gotta love a Smiths button, or a short tv interview or an old poster. It´s one of those bands that I can just hear all day and never get tired of. This along with Dylan. They bring so much to what they play, a secret am still after, and I discovered, personally, that all songs have different planes of meaning. Talking more plaintive, that all songs, go deeper than at what they seemed at first listen. And that´s good. Don´t underestimate The Smiths. Once you fall in their music catalogue, your never able to get out of their Universe, and that´s a good thing too, cuz they are that good. To have found a set place in some ones imaginarium.
Well looking around all the cool music videos friends place up I came across a facebook app that “would tell you” what “Smiths song you are”. I know how that sounds, but as a fan I am, even that´s the coolest thing that I can come across in a dull day, and yesterday, I just plunged into it. This is what the app said:
Am gonna take this test religiously every month, and take it as a compass for my directions. Let the Smiths guide me.
Now were is the repeat button in the youtube player.
I guess none of the blogs are posting stuff cuz they`re still drunk from mother´s days festivities, and am really lazy today, but as always, steady ready and fast to depinct the situation in this Country once named Venezuela to my fellow international readers. “:03 min. Showers” seems to be a short film that will debut in the 13th Cine Las Americas Film Festival, in Austin Texas. Then we all will download it from a dodgy and shady site in shitty quality cuz we can´t spend our own money outside our own country (that´s another matter, say, I can´t buy downloadable albums if I wanted to from an International Record label cuz it´s prohibited. It goes somewhere along those lines). So the video speeks for itself. Like I said before, am laughing, but am goin´hungry.
Everythang is really well explained in the link above by ”President” Hugo Chavez Cold. Quit it and don´t hit it, ever again, Chavez followers. The crack pipe am talkin´bout.
Golden. A horse beats the living shit out of a bear. The then bear rides him cowboy style. The story went like this: The menacing Bear was approaching the country house to get even with the horse who stole his Girlfriend in the last Blue Grass dance at the barn, so the Dog wakes up the horse and gallantly opens up his barn door. Then they all beat the shit out of each other Mortal Combat style. The dog gets a few chumps off the mean Bear while he lied unconscious on the ground. The owner of the circus comes by, a children cries at the sight of this surreal sight, then all of them go and get a swim in the lake to get rid of their sins of this great foe. Brutally hysterical funny and awesome. The days before peta were more fun. I can imagine a few more movies with this type of genre: Dissonant Animal Fights. Like real animal fights between animals who otherwise would ´t fight in God´s World. And this comes from a guy who didn´t eat meat cuz it made him cry (Still does, fkin Vnzlan Govt). I wonder with what they drugged them, and what dosage they used, so to see if I can put to fist fight spider monkeys as means to economical survival.
This is the video from the amazing Band Quasi, from Kill Rock Stars Records, whose line up is stellar. Google em. Their new record, American Gong , is really addictive. It came out not so long ago, so go go go buy buy buy it. The record sounds reaaaally nice, sounds like harsh in a good way. Instead of eking your ear it calls it and invites to listen. An amazing record. Now more footage of the bear and horse fight please.
La Fiesta 8 BIt llega a su volumen dos, y con ella la vuelta del Munidalmente Famoso (vamos, ya admitanlo) Huge Hefner a los platos, La presentación en tarima de Los Humanoides:a band you must see and hear, Jimmy Flamante bringing the beats and bass doing his thing in perfect timing, y Ui, E-bot, NanoBytes y Gerbacio. Un line up estelar desde que se prenda el suiche hasta que se quede el ultimo hablando en la barra pidiendo otro trago cuando ya hayan cerrado.
La Fiesta es en el Puto Bar, el sábado 8 de Mayo, comenzando a las 8 PM. El Puto Bar queda a la final de La Libertador, cerca de la flama, antes de agarrar la vuelta en U hacia la Francisco de Miranda, lo que antes era La Mosca, etc etc. Si no saben llegar, llamen al 119. Felicidades y see you there. Be there or be square.
