Akira

The teacher likes to give problems to me because I never can choose one thing without doubt for many time.
In this time I choose a movie called Akira. I have another favourites but I choose this because I loved before all of these.
Akira is a film I saw at the 15 years-old, I know another people saw it younger but well, I arrived some later.
This is an animation film, based on the manga (comic book) of Katsuhiro Otomo, and directed for himself, and the premiere was in 1988.
The story is in a future (2019), in the city of Neo-Tokyo; a war destructed it in the past and the situation is critical, with violence, oppression, drugs, terrorism, etc. The government experiments with children with mental powers like a tool of their purposes. The starrings are a band of young choppers like fight, drugs and drink. In a combat with another choppers one of they is found by militars and they discover he have a mental power and kidnap him to study him mind and found a way to combat to Akira, the most powered child that is freeze to control him but nobody knows when he wake up.
I like it because I love illustration and draw, and the draws of Katsuhiro Otomo are really gorgeous. Ok, it´s a fantastic history, but if you not interesting in it, anyway this is a great movie, because the animation is very very good make, the colors, the images, and a significant part; the music; this catch you for all the time.

Primus


It's very difficult to me (again) to choose a band or a musician I like, because are a lot of them.

I would can name very bands of many kinds of music, (for example Alice in Chains, Hole, La Floripondio, Victor Jara, Amy Winehouse, Anarkia Tropikal, Faith no More, en ever more) but i choose Primus because is an experience of madness I enjoy everytime and I would like share with you.

I knew this band because I ear to some friends speaking about it, but I download the discography for my own account. I began to listen it during an exam because I never can to follow the melodies or the lyrics and I can concentrate in the work with background music. That exam was wrong and Primus took a bad sensation to me.

But the time passed and I recovered the love by this band because I can´t understand all that madness inside the mind of three persons. I think if they don’t make music would be in an insane hospital. By luck they are musicians and give us all this happiness to live.

I don’t know very much of this band. Only they forming Primus in the 80’s and the history of Les Claypool (bass and leader) was to an audition to play bass with Metallica, but they reject to him because are “so much good” like said James Hetfield. I don’t know if this is a myth or reality but I think is funny.

I like very much the bass, it’s the essential part of the band, is the center of it. I like they crazy (I know I say it, but I think is very important) and the music they play is according to this.

My favorite songs are “Tommy the Cat”, “Welcome to this world”, “Hamburger Train” and others I don´t remember now.

I go to sharing with you “Hamburger Train” and I give you a bonus of insanity with a Mr. Bungle’s song, “Quote Unquote” (I don’t want to exclude they, I’m sorry).

Happy nightmares to this night.
