Seven Samurai and Jane Eyre

Image
I am working on a few projects right now--the search for employment also involves mountains of free time. Having finished Aladdin's Lamp: How Greek Science Came to Europe Through the Islamic World --I took notes and asked and answered questions of what I learned and already knew--I started on The Inheritance of Rome: Illuminating the Dark Ages, 400-1000 , again using the same note-taking process. It's the only way I can process information.  I have also started reading Age of Aztec , having finished the others in the Pan the on .  I began a project involving reading Jane Eyre  and watching the films, I read twitter updates from the futbol world, my dad and I have taken to watching one or two episodes of Star Trek Enterprise  every night for a month now, I play soccer on three teams, volunteer at the local museum, take care of the doggies...Needless to say, Reader, I am making my way quite slowly through my projects.  Tonight I finished watching Sev...

Tribute -from one to another-

Image
a quick list of songs I heard that turn out to be directly inspired by songs from other countries with a different language. THE CLASH "JIMMY JAZZ" I first heard Kortatu's "Jimmy Jazz" from their self-titled album. Kortatu is from Basque Spain, and were active from 1984-1988, during the height of rock radical vasco , a Spanish Basque music movement inspired by The Clash, The Sex Pistols, and The Rolling Stones, among others. Here's The Clash: Here's KORTATU taking on "Jimmy Jazz", with basic word-for-word translation in the images "THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN" I actually heard "The Magnificent Seven" years ago, in high school, probably because I was doing a basic search for music from one of my all-time favorite movies "The Magnificent Seven". Later I heard Molotov's "Aguela" and made the connection between the bass of "The Magnificent Seven" and "Aguela". It turns out that Molotov's...

Favorite Songs of 2011 - Part II

Image
Saw this movie for the first time a few months ago, and it was perfect. I love Toshiro Mifune, I love samurai films-particularly those of Kurosawa-I love Charles Bronson, and I love when Westerns can be connected to the samurai ideal, like with The Magnificent Seven , plus I love how friggin' diverse Red Sun  is. ( Google Images ) Now to the music... (again, all songs I discovered this year) 21. Los Caminantes - "Entre mas lejos me vaya" It ain't the suits, if you're wondering, the hair--the video, in all--that drew me to this song. I can't put my finger on why it touched me so, but.. I love this song. I sing it loudly at a local Mexican bar when it comes on. 22. Chencha Berrinches - "Esperando la muerte" I have been looking for Chencha songs since I heard, and fell in love with, " Murcielaga ", which I'd heard on a compilation. Thanks to YouTube, there are now a few more songs, but this one I loved ...
