About Coachella and how is that going to make me greater.

GODDAMNIT I DON'T WANNA GO TO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! (mini-rant)

Maybe I am a bit stupid for being so excited last night seeing radiohead playing live at Coachella on youtube. Specially when I saw them playing live at México City a couple years ago.
The thing is: seeing my favorite bands playing live is something that just can't stop giving me the strength to move forward.
I notice every single thing at the same time: the sound quality, the stage presence, the way they look like some homogenic mixture of single unique parts that, even when genious by themselves, what they do together is something extraordinary.
And that is exactly the key to accomplish everything we want: being out of the ordinary. In the way we think, or look, or play. It seriously made me think a lot of all the things we're still far from and the things we want to do.
But here's the deal. The deal is not wanting it hard enough 'cause there's a big bunch of other kids out there wanting it probably twice as hard as you, if not more. The deal is really wanting it so hard that you can't stop making improvements, relating with your co-workers and friends, and PRACTICING. A lot. That's the only way you can prove that you actually care enough for what you're doing, and that you actually can't want it harder.
I'm taking for example the way Radiohead sounds on stage. It's obviously not equal to the way they sound on a studio record and stuff. It's neither greater or suckier or any of that shit. It's just different. But it's stills being mind blowing awesome. And I think the only way a band can sound like that is either a miracle or SHITLOADS OF PRACTICE.
So yeah, this is to all y'all kids out there looking for the exact same deed as me with Wolf Season: I'm just a colleague, but I still want to give an advice to you; please never stop practising, never act like you don't care, 'cause this IS a ruthless competition. We'll meet at the road but so few of us are actually going to reach the line. So please never lose hope, and give everything to the point you end up every gig night made a total mess. Wreckage, kids, that's what we need!
See you at the road.

A blog made just for ranting about EVERYTHING.

I was a little worried about this blog entry, ‘cause you guys would probably start thinking that the only thing I can do is complaining about pretty much everything. So I tought a little positivity wouldn’t be bad from time to time. I seriously tried to find something good to write about. BUT… life’s usually a bitch. And I can’t be Mrs. Brightside, no matter how hard I try.

I’m not going to exaggerate. I don’t think I have the right to say “FML” because I’m not blind or paraplejic or something like that. But you know, sometimes I think either there’s a God who actually find hilarious playing with me, or I just have a suck-ass bad luck.

I’m gonna go –for the sake of my own mental health –with the “life has its ups and downs” rubbish, ‘cause this week has been a total pain in the ass, but –as hard as this seems to me –it REALLY could’ve been worse. At least, even when the guilt for all of this lies upon OTHER PEOPLE, the fact that I can still keep going is because there were OTHER PEOPLE there with me, supporting me and my choices –which as a band leader it can only lead to stress –giving me help even when I wasn’t humble enough to admit I needed it and listening whatever I wanted to say. So thanks guys, seriously you’ve been my spine in moments like this when someone can’t do anything else but dissapointing everyone. David, Sam, Melissa, Mariana, mum & daddy, thank y’all.

Luckily with all of this bad moments my inspiration seems to be flowing just good – really ironic when you know that Wolf Season really doesn’t have a bassist anymore –and I finally ended my parts on a new song called Poison Flowers. I’ll talk about it in another entry maybe. Also I managed to get together a new Lookbook.nu photo (which at this moment should have about 0 hypes, haha) and today David and I went to a “photo-walk” to a pond which is near my house. I felt so much better practicing my photograph.

There’s only one thing I want to say before feeling reeeeeally good:
FUCK YEAH SPRING IS ON BITCHES!!!!!!! Photobucket
