what's in the cd player today?

what I'm listening to, and why I like it

archives | old | home again

Why a music blog? Have you ever noticed how many people relate over music? The music we listen to is a window into our moods, our souls. Always temporal, evolving. One day it's the beat, the rhythm, the melody. Another day it's the lyrics. With it's ability to carry us away into another time and place, a cherished memory or a fantasy escape, music helps us transcend or endure the mundane. Music helps us make sense of painful experiences or confusing emotions, or safely, cathartically re-experience those feelings. And it has the transformative power to alter our mood for the better or worse. The kind of music we enjoy is a very personal thing, a matter of taste that cannot be imposed by another, but grows instead out of our own histories and sensibilities. And yet what pleasure to find others who like what you like -- you can share aural space with them without getting a headache or losing your mind. You can lead each other to discover new artists and genres. If you take the time to read all or the occasional entry, I hope you find a treat in this log of tunes.

The cd player is full of chip-supplied ambient lounge tunes, along with a couple of my own, like Orchestra Was. So mellow, good for doing art. The teacher in the oil painting class I just took made a statement almost every week about the value of listening to classical music to grow new dendrites or something like this, and building right brain - left brain balance. In any case I enjoyed the class though it seemed at times I was doomed to be the class dodo. And I enjoyed the classical music she played during class - familiar Mozart and Beethovin pieces.

so back to the cd player -- in the BMW I have a Prince cd, The Vault -- a rather jazzy collection, as well as a very dark song about loneliness. What I like about Prince, in addition to the superb musical talent, is his absolutely raw emotion that he is apparently fearless about putting out there. Not to mention the playful sexy stuff including the song It's About That Walk - "Prison I could do some time in if I ever got that ass alone..."

And also Los Lobos' Good Morning Aztlan which has the heartbreaking Tony and Maria, and the very romantic Lus De Mi Vida - I could listen to those songs over and over and over. A winner for any Los Lobos fan.

Rounded out with Gillian Welch Revival and Robbie Robertson Contact from the Underworld - roots music of two very different kinds...

Carta abierta de Alejandro López Fernández con dni número: 32654324-M a
Telefónica Móviles España S.A. (telefonica moviles españa es mas
conocida por todo el mundo como movistar)


Queridos hijos de puta:

Acabo de recibir vuestra asquerosa carta de mierda dónde me amenazáis
para que os pague una factura de 1834,56 euros que sabéis que yo nunca
he consumido y que es totalmente injusta, sin embargo a pesar de obrar
las pruebas de lo que digo en vuestro poder, es decir en vuestros
servidores de datos, insistís en que pague, resumen:


SOIS BASURA


Mira que simpática es esta carta:

Muy Sr./a mío/a:

El saldo pendiente en su cuenta con TELEFONICA MOVILES ESPAÑA, S.A.,
correspondiente al número/s de teléfono cuyo detalle se adjunta, asciende
a la cantidad de 1834.56 euros.

Con el fin de evitar el traspaso de su expediente a nuestro
Departamento de Asesoría y de vernos obligados a comunicar su nueva situación al
Servicio de Información Crédito ASNEF/EQUIFAX [esto es una lista de
morosos], del cual somos miembros asociados, le agradeceré que el citado
importe lo haga efectivo en el plazo de quince días a contar desde el
recibo de la presente, de alguna de las siguientes formas:


• Cheque nominativo a Telefonica Moviles España, S.A. enviado por
correo a la dirección: C/ Llodio, nº 4 – 3ª Planta. 28034 – Madrid [Este
cheque se lo pides a tu puta madre y si ella no te lo quiere dar metete
los dos puños por el culo después de arrancarte los dientes hijo de puta]


• Transferencia a los siguientes datos bancarios del banco Santander
Central Hispano (SCH): Entidad 0049, Sucursal 1500, DC 02 y Número de
cuenta 2910384121. [Por supuesto que te voy a hacer una transferencia pero
de todas las hostias que pueda darte como un día te coja por la calle]

En ambos casos es imprescindible comunique el número de abono y
titularidad del mismo.

Para cualquier aclaración, tiene a su disposición nuestro Centro de
Atención al Cliente las 24 horas del día [por los cojones], en los
siguientes teléfonos: 1485 (609 desde su teléfono móvil); en el caso de
empresas, el 1486 (109 desde su teléfono móvil).

Atentamente le saluda.
[Métete tu saludo por el culo pero saca los puños primero]

Miguel Angel García
Gerente de Cobros [o sea el hijo de puta mayor del reino, igual que el
resto de casa de hijos de puta que es movistar]

Bueno bueno bueno

Decir que telefónica es una mierda (o que telefonica es una mierda) no
es algo nuevo, es algo que todos sabíamos, pero se os ha ido la mano y
habéis logrado hincharme las pelotas, más de diez veces he llamado a
vuestros putos números de mierda para intentar arreglar esto por las
buenas y no me habéis hecho puto caso.

como diría Palpatine...

biennnn

biennnnnnnn

biennnnnnnnnnnn


queréis guerra?


pues la vais a tener vais a lamentar el día en el que me conocisteis

tengo mucha paciencia y mucho tiempo (o eso creo) para joderos, hasta
el último puto gato en españa se va a enterar de lo ladrones hijos de
puta que son en movistar, y por cierto ¿que me quereis meter en una lista
de morosos por un puto telefono movil o teléfono móvil? pues me metéis
me suda mucho la polla mi poder no es tan banal como creéis y si no al
tiempo


bueno queridos hijos de puta de movistar empieza el juego nos
encontraremos por el camino, no tendré piedad si algún día me cruzo con vosotros
en la calle os voy a meter una bombona de butano por el culo así que
mejor no os crucéis conmigo

y por cierto, una nota aclaratoria para el presidente de movistar, ¿no
te da vergüenza dirigir una compañía de MIERDA? yo te respondo, claro
que no te la da PORQUE ERES MIERDA


PostData: querido presi de la compañía de mierda, el azar te libre de
que te eche el guante porque te mato a hostias, después de todo lo que
te voy a hacer vas a pedirme llorando que te mate




¿Pero de que va todo esto? (Por Traksler) (¿caso movistar? no, no creo)

Bueno yo soy un coleguilla de Alejandro y me ha tocado la ardua tarea
de explicaros a quien le pueda interesar de que coño va todo este
marrón. Me vais a perdonar que firme con pseudónimo pero es que aquí va a
haber tiros y esto a mi ni me va ni me viene. Yo sólo soy el mensajero.

Bien la cosa va de lo siguiente.

Cómo todos o casi todos sabéis Telefónica de España como su propio
nombre indica es una compañía que se dedica a prestar servicios de
telefonía en España. Uno de sus “satélites” es movistar que se dedica a la
telefonía móvil

Pues bien, Alejandro hace un tiempo contrató con movistar un servicio
de conexión a internet a través de teleléfono móvil, es decir lo que
conocemos como “conexión wireless umts”.

Es decir, tu tienes un teléfono móvil normal y corriente (o una tarjeta
modem móvil) y con ese teléfono móvil en vez de hablar lo que haces es
conectarlo a tu ordenador portátil y ya puedes conectarte a internet.

Es una experiencia muy gratificante irte a la playa o a lo alto de un
monte, con tu ordenador portátil y tu teléfono móvil y poder chatear,
mirar tu correo o buscar algo en el google.

Hasta aquí todo correcto pero que pasó?

Lo que pasó es que este tipo de conexiones a internet a través de
teléfonica tienen un riesgo grande, y es que te cobran por la cantidad de
datos que recibes y envías a internet (y no por el tiempo de conexión
como en una ADSL normal).

Es decir, tienes una tarifa plana en la que pagas 59 euros por
transferir a la red hasta un giga de información y a partir de ahí empieza a
cobrarte por kilobyte (y a cobrar mucho por cierto).

Lo que le pasó a Alejandro es que un virus (un gusano, del tipo
SYN_SENT al puerto 445) se coló en su ordenador durante 3 días, y el virus se
puso a enviar información, e información y mucha más información, hasta
que el giga fue rebasado muy ampliamente y duplicado varias veces. De
ahí la monstruosa factura.

Esa factura es indebida. Alejandro no consumió ese ancho de banda. Lo
consumió un virus maligno y no él.

Afortunadamente Alejandro es un doctorando en informática y se dio
cuenta a tiempo y pudo eliminar al agente maligno, pero el daño ya había
sido hecho.

Por otro lado, si Alejandro no fuese informático profesional la factura
podría haber sido de 12.000 euros o más...

Movistar con toda seguridad debió ver en la monitorización de sus
servidores que algo raro estaba ocurriendo porque de gastar 59 euros todos
los meses, el consumo se disparó sin justificación un 3000 por ciento,
pero Movistar se quedó calladita como las putas dejando que la factura
siguiese engordando.

Alejandro no fue informado en ningún momento de que LA LEY OBLIGA a que
exista la posibilidad de que si tu factura en euros pasa de cierta
cantidad se pare el servicio para que no siga aumentando el gasto (lo que
se conoce como LIMITE DE CONSUMO). Aparecía por la parte de atrás del
contrato en letra microscópica de esa que no se puede leer sin un buen
par de gafas graduadas. Ni Movistar ni sus esbirros informaron
explícitamente y con transparencia de esto a Alejandro, Movistar se quedó callada
como las putas.

Alejandro se prestó a entregar los logs (archivos dónde se guardan
datos de lo que ha pasado dentro de un ordenador) donde se probaba
fehacientemente la actividad de un virus (corroborable mediante prueba cruzada
con los distintos servidores) en las horas indicadas de “supuesto
consumo” pero nadie lo quiso ver, simplemente no le hicieron caso. Sólo le
dijeron que pagase: como las putas. Eso es lo que te dice una puta:
“paga y no me cuentes tu vida”.

Que sí, que yo también estoy de acuerdo, movistar sois una casa de
putas.


PostData: Vodafone no es mejor, también son unos chapuceros, ellos y
sus telefonistas “sudamericanos” (por qué será?); pero dentro de lo
chapuzas que son no son tan odiosos como estos otros y en algunas cosas
funcionan cien mil veces mejor.

To see a world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
(my favorite William Blake lines, from Auguries of Innocence)

I'm listening to a cd of Buddhist monks chanting. It's very soothing.

So Glenn passes me this stick.

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
Our class read 1984 instead, too. I'm glad we read 1984, its been very applicable. But if I were going to be a book, how about William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. There's a reason I'm named Blake.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Not really, at least I can't think of one at the moment, but I have found them sexy, desirable, appealing - just not tactile enough! It shouldn't matter because a crush is about fantasy, but my crushes tend to be on real people.

The last book you bought is:
Art Cars: The Cars, the Artists, the Obsession, the Craft by Harrod Blank. Next on the shopping list, a good glue gun and a strong dose of chutzpah...

The last book[s] you read:
Shanghai Baby, Dreams From My Father, Art and Fear.

What are you currently reading?
Benjamin Franklin's autobiography, The Artist's Way, Full Catastrophe Living, The Four Agreements, and PHP and MySql.

Five books you would take to a deserted island:
I would want a good naturalist's book, and a book on to build shelters out of things like mud, cement, etc. A really fat book of quotations. A complete illustrated history of art with big glossy pictures. A book on solitude, maybe meditations or prayers (would I be alone on this island?).

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
I only know a handful of bloggers... maybe I'll pick three off some recent blogs list. Anyone out there want to just come and get it???? Please????

Comments:
Hey! You already gots the chutzpa. And Glue Guns are cheap. What kinda tchachkas do want I should send???

I feel so back to myself now that I've restocked and then some my Robbie Robertson native tunes -- Classic Masters, Contact From The Underworld Of Redboy, Music For The Native Americans. I always thought that last title was Music For Native Americans, which has a different connotation than it does this way, which certainly makes it about the documentary, not the people! Either way it's great, but Classic Masters is still the best.

And the shopping continues, up next will be Patty Griffin, who's bringing her beautiful voice to town, so I shall prep. And it seems I must have lost plenty of Suzanne Vega in that car. And it will now be the third time I've had to buy Cohen's Ten New Songs. It's been a shop-aholic couple weeks, between buying art supplies, restocking the cds, getting more tea, and even hitting the clothing sales. Yikes! Well, now that I have the canvases in I can paint instead of shop in my free time. And that means listening to music!

Hey, Andree,

There's this Stick and I'm passing it to you!

Glenn

I've been listening to the ambient lounge collection Chip sent out for my birthday, it's pretty mellow and international so that is good for the destress zone. Not much else to report on the music front, except apparently it's true that Barry Manilow is universally unpopular. That's right, you can always get your breaking music news here!

Did I ever mention that I saw the Chainsaw Dupont show the other day? It was quite good, better than the first show I saw which was good, but this was more my speed. And the new album is coming out, Bourbon Street Breakdown, with mostly tunes written by Steve Pasek. Intelligent stuff.

Comments:
but barry manilow writes the songs that make the whole world sing
 
dude, he is music!
 
Hey, thanks for using my name and "intelligent" in the same sentence! Found this while googling to see if we've generated any reviews yet...sorry to hear about the insurance bandits. Barry Manilow gets a visceral reaction from me, but it sure isn't singing.

I had a music club snafu and ended up with a double cd set of Barry Manilow live, thought I'd give it a spin. It's basically show tunes. If this kind of music would rock your world, send me your address and it's yours.

In other news, the car has been settled, but they don't cover cds in the car! wah! But I got a pretty decent payout on the buick so I guess I can't really complain. Won't stop me though -- I mean, they covered the bags of clothes I had for the GoodWill. Why wouldn't they cover the kind of personal property one would actually expect to be carrying in a car, like tunes?

Well guess what, the control freak in me just loosened up a little - I've added the ability to post comments! this means you can respond to what I've said or just say whatever. I think this is effective now. Hello out there....!!!!! (Oh and of course if I really don't like what you say, I can always *BLEEP* it! ah the power...)

more like what's NOT in the cd player today! since my car was stolen (day after Christmas at the hospital I volunteer at - that's bad karma, mr car thief!) I've been trying to determine which cds were in that car -- the new Ani di Franco, Groove Armada, three funkin' Prince albums, one Walela, Robbie Robertson, Randy Travis, Leonard Cohen, Love and Rockets, Steve Stevens, my favorite Los Lobos cd (the Neighborhood), and in the player at the time of the crime, Blind Boys of Alabama gospel Christmas cd which I had had less than 24 hours. (But I heard enough to recommend it. They have a great Little Drummer Boy on there, and lots of other good stuff.)

OK so the car may not be the worst case, as I was in excess car territory since I bought Kathy's fiesty beamer. But I was very fond of the Princessmobile and it was a better commuter car really, what with the automatic transmission, cushy seats, dual cupholders, and cd player in reach of the driver.

And worse, I feel so much more vulnerable, which is only made worse by the spate of recent attacks on women locally. The following week there was a rape of a woman on the train that I use when I ride the train, in BROAD DAYLIGHT!!!! Seems like you should be safe on a commuter train. And I just found out the victim of another assault in Forest Park after a woman got off the same line New Years Eve was the roommate of a friend of mine, making it all very close to home. At least they got the bastard becuase she put up a hell of a fight -- apparently he was trying to get to the hospital when the police arrested him. He is the suspect in the two attacks in Wrigleyville as well.

Comments:
Remember to wear that razor wire parka I sent you for Xmas. Keep safe, sweets.
