OH ZOÉ. ♥

Reptilectric the album: It's pretty good, quite beautiful and fantastically interpreted, and yet, at first listen it all sounds a bit too alike, the songs sort of bleed into each other. But give me a day or two to learn all the songs by heart and listen to it a couple of hundred times and I'll be in love with it. ♥ ♥

Aaaaand a short song-by-song review! BECAUSE I AM OBSESSIVE ABOUT THIS BAND LIKE THAT. YES. )

Also! The CD comes with a preview of the 281107 DVD (of their live performance in Mexico City a year ago, for those that don't know) and lajflskdjf it looks so utterly fantasticcccc.

NEW ZOÉ ALBUM; I HAS IT.

AÑLSDKJFLSJKD.

There's nothing like listening a cd for the first time. Halfway through the first song now. Boy, they went psychodelic this time around, didn't they?

My laptop is baaaack and seriously improved - for the last, oh, two or three months, it'd been running slower than a fucking snail, and it refused to have sound online, meaning no youtube for me (it's sad how one can miss watching movie trailers and boys kissing in foreign soap operas so much).

So, of course, because I love being pointless, I'm going OHHHH and AHHHH at silly 'how to do simple hairstyles' videos, lol.

I'm listening to Dido's new album, and it's good, although it doesn't reach the dizzingly high levels of awesome of her first album. No Angel, man, that album's so fucking gorgeous.

Which reminds me! New Zoé album on tuesday! ;LAJSDFLJASDF. When Memo Rex (Commander y el corazón atómico de la vía láctea) came out, I sort of STALKED my favorite record shop for DAYS because it just wouldn't arrive! And after a couple of days of pretty much screeching Did it arrive today? Please tell me it arrived todaaaaaay at the people working there they all sort of knew and avoided me, lol. YAY LET'S DO THAT AGAIN, SHALL WE?

Y todo el tiempo estoy pensando en ti, en el brillo del sol, en una mirada tuya

Against my expectations, the photo shoot today was AWESOME. I don't know, it was all just really cool - one of our model's sister is a stylist, so the make-up and hair was all amazing and the clothes were all weird/awesome/urban/indie cool and it just felt like a REAL photo shoot, you know? Besides, the house we were in is in the middle or, well, not exactly the prettiest part in town, so we had our models all prettied up against half destroyed houses and abandoned cars and it was EEEH, EXCITING :D :D I also think I'm finally getting the trick of my reflex camera. Woot. I'll have them developed tomorrow, and then scan them and show you guys because EEEH YES COOL. :3

I still haven't watched Who, but I will as soon as I do at least some homework for Video class, as it's getting ridiculous to have absolutely nothing done yet and I feel guilty of not having done any homework (aside from the photo shoot, of course) this weekend when I have tons to do, ugh.

In other news, 281107 continues to be AWESOME BEYOND BELIEF and I'm so, SO glad to have my Zoé love back. :D :D Man, THESE GUYS. THEY OWN ME SO HARD. The songs that sound the best live are:

Mrs. Nitro/Solo/Miel/Peace & Love/Dead/Deja te Conecto/Soñé. SO GORGEOUS. I love that extra bit they added to them, even if Vinyl sounded even prettier (and longer) this last time I saw them live. Mmm.

WELL, I CAVED. And bought myself Zoé's 'new' album, 281107. There are three factors involved in this decision:

1. how incredibly cheap it was.
2. how incredibly pretty the artwork is.
3. how incredibly gorgeous it all sounds. ♥

I still haven't finished listening to, and yet I'm already in love. It's like being there in the audience watching them live again, which, you know, las;jflsjdf. I've always said and always will say that Zoé is one of those bands that can manage to sound even BETTER while live, crappy audience aside.

I had never before in my life bought a concert cd. This is a hint of the AMAZINGNESS of this, lol.

The fact that they've dropped Asteroide, Veneno and Fotosíntesis off their set list is sort of sad, though. And Whatever as well - they opened with that one the first time I saw them, and it was mmmmmm so good.

OKAY, WHO WANTS ME TO RIP THIS. :D :D

Stolen off [livejournal.com profile] dixie_pinky, because it seriously made me so deliriously happy:

For their tenth year anniversary, Zoé had a massive concert in Mexico City, and recorded it. This is the first video of it, and by God, but now I HAVE to own that DVD. HAVE TO. I'd never seen such a pretty video from a concert, I swear, which, you know, ALL HAIL RODRIGO GUARDIOLA. Yep, the drummer is the director for most of their videos, haha. XD



It sounds so damn gorgeous, and it brings back so many memories. Mmm, so pretty. What I wouldn't have given to be in there. ♥ (I'm not sure if it was bigger than the gig at last year's Vive Latino - 100 000 people are hard to best, I guess)

I did get to see SPN on Friday (and it was ~awesome~) but I still haven't seen Doctor Who. BUT. It was for a good cause! It was!

Because yesterday was the Coca Cola Zero Fest and it was WONDERFUL. YAY.

Much squee and love for: Metric, Miranda!, The Faint, ZOÉ (OMG ZOÉ WAS SO GOOOOOD!) and The Mars Volta )

Sing, sing, sing, sing

The flamenco presentation last night went by actually pretty decently! YAYZ. It's such a relief after the suckiness of the final rehearsal, but it actually came out rather pretty and it was fun and exhilarating and a couple of hundred people got to see my panties. YAYZ?

The bad part: Zoé played in town last night. AAAAAARGH IT SUCKED TO HAVE MISSED THEM. I'd known I wouldn't be able to see them for weeks (since the Travis concert? I think?) but it still hurt because my friends, THE BASTARDS went there instead of seeing me dance. Okay so that's hypocritical of me because I would've done the exact same thing, lol, but STILL. It's the third Zoé gig I've missed in two years. ;____; BUT OH WELL. They come here like, four times a year, haha.

In another note, I think I have mentioned that I suck at this whole airbrush business, haven't I? And if I haven't, WELL, I DO.

Proof! ) Anyway, my lines are still horrible, but look at what I drew on top of them!

Mmm, chocolate...

Ugh, I've felt rotten ever since I went to bed last night, it seems like that cold I've been avoiding all summer long is finally catching up to me. ;__;

Anyway, have some pictures of the cupcakes I made last night )

The filling's not that visible now that they're cold... And that's a big strawberry, but still, see what I mean when I say they're really really small? The chocolate glaze wasn't as smooth as I wanted because I was out of corn syrup, but oh well, it's still oh so tasty like that.

I originally made this batch to take to the weekly family reunion, but now that I've tasted them with icing... oh man, they're so so good, and I really want them all for myself. *g*

In other news, I'm green with envy because [livejournal.com profile] dixie_pinky got to meet Zoé, omg!

"Miente bien, no me puedes lastimar, se que aún me amas de lejos"

I baked more cupcakes today! Chocolate-flavored this time, with mocha-flavored icing. They look so cute! I didn't fuck anything up this time, so they look oh so tasty and I just tried one and they are delicious! I'm so proud of myself. *sniffle* I bought chocolate chips today, so cookies are probably next in line, and then brownies. REALLY THOUGH, WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? I'm no stranger to PMS, but it'd never made me want to go into a baking frenzy before. o_O

Was tempted to bash my head against a wall today when I saw vanilla extract at 15 pesos (1.5 dlls) when I bought fancy imported shit yesterday at 60 because I thought I wouldn't find it that easily in other places. *HEADDESK*

Other than that... I pretty much didn't do anything at all today. Not surprising, considering that I woke up at noon and didn't got out of bed until 1:30. *shifty eyes*

I can't stop listening to Remote Control by Sussie 4 and León Larregui - it's the next best thing to a new Zoé song, 'cause I'd bet anything that León wrote it, and I'm honestly in love with the lyrics and melody. *happy sigh* *listens to it in repeat*

Sussie 4 featuring León Larregui. Much more Sussie 4 than Zoé, obviously, but I like the song. And lol, León is such a diva XDD

And no, the irony of watching this in youtube is not lost on me. *g*

I got my hair cut today! There might be pictures later. I also drew a bit for this week's Illustration Friday, so that might be up soon, too. Also, I haven't written ANYTHING whatsoever today, ugh. I'll try and put myself to it right now.

You know, the way my addictions bands are colliding is starting to get scary.

You know Zoé, my favoritest band? I just found out that the guest vocals on Corazón Atómico are sung by Tim Burgess, who's close friends with Carl Barat who sang guest vocals with Client on Pornography and one of the girls' husband is Alan McGee who was the manager of the late Libertines and who wants to take Zoé to Europe.

o_O Oh my.

I think 'Oh, Dean' sums it up rather nicely, huh?

Supernatural 2x22 - All Hell Breaks Loose Part 2 ) Anyway, this took so long 'cause I was feeling too drained and blah yesterday to actually do anything at all - my squee was great, but my car's A/C refused to cool yesterday and an hour trapped in a walking oven at midday can make even the most annoyingly happy people go a bit sour.

Welcome to May, I guess, our actual summer and the most horrible month of the year for people in Guadalajara; that horrid time when internal organs get cooked and cars become deathly ovens and the floor burns feet through thick shoe soles. Oh, June, come already and bring rain with you. *whimpers* *goes back to fanning herself desperately*

In other news, we had an incredible debate yesterday in Deontology class - we were supposed to be congressmen for Jalisco, and decide on whether a)legalize abort the way Mexico City did and b)give full marriage rights to couples of the same sex, adoption rights included... )

Zoé IN SEVEN HOURS, OMG!!! I'll be meeting the others at the festival at around 5:30, and see how many bands we can see before Zoé starts playing, yay. I'm so excited about it! I'll try and take lots of pictures. *g*

Wankity wank, and hey, music!

And there is wank over the Doctor Who fandom. It's not as large as the Martha is a slut! fucktardness (which, honestly, made me a bit ashamed of being in this fandom, it was just so mean and stupid), but there it goes. God, Rose is gone GET IT OVER WITH. I love Rose, I love her dearly, but Doctor Who is Doctor Who and no companion will last forever. (And it's not like the Doctor didn't love every single one of them and shagged them silly, too.)

Finished Smallville's 2nd season, and it was lots better than the first one, much more character development, less freak of the week. And the first episodes of season 3 have rocked my socks, which is no surprise seeing how much I swoon for Red-Kryptonite!Clark (he'd be scary if he were to permanently stay like that...). Oh, and Tom Welling's hair grew a bit. He looks edible.

I've been incredibly tired all day long, I nearly fell asleep during today's lesson with my grandpa, and to top it all, my blood sugar lever went down today just before eating, and I was shaking all over, *sigh*. Went waxing and had a facial today. One word: Ouch.

Now, some music! I had said I'd upload The Room EP, and then I kinda forgot, sorry. Una preguntita, eso si, para la gente por aqui que tiene el CD en forma, con qué programa abres la animación? porque no se ve en ninguna de mis compus ;-;

Zoé - Dead
Zoé - She Comes
Zoé - Morning Watts
Muse - Black Holes And Revelations (Entire CD) [livejournal.com profile] spooy gave me this one, and then I uploaed it for [livejournal.com profile] bellle_fille and I haven't even had the time to hear it yet, I'm so lame.

Ergo Proxy's 15th episode has been subbed, and I can't use torrent to get it. *sigh*

I've kinda gone into a Smallville overload, I watched 8 episodes yesterday and I've seen four today, and wah. 80 to go, though! My favorite episodes so far have been the Pilot, Zero (which was a great insight into Lex's darker aspects) and Leech, not only because Human!Clark is so darn adorable, but because yeaaaah, Shaw Ashmore stars in it XD (Man, he's gonna get sterotyped with all those comic characters *g* And has anyone else heard that his twin brother will be playing Jimmy Olsen in the new season? Yay, I say.)

I'm trying to figure out a simple enough plot for an Ergo Proxy, Vincent/Real fic, but my head is kinda blank. Then again, I usually don't like writing fic until I've finished the entire series, unless is a monster like, say, Inuyasha, which is to huge to wait so much.

It's been a nice day - I'm still in my pyjamas and in bed and life is grand. Only a week more from vacation, damn. ;-;

FOLKS! The amazing [livejournal.com profile] dixie_pink uploaded Zoé's appearance in Sweet Addiction, a Mexican show in which bands go and present their favorite music videos, along with their own ones. It's cool, check it out. :) Just follow the trails, it's about 8 parts long. EDIT: THEY LIKE MUSE, HOW FUCKING AWESOME IS THAT?

Mmm, there's this German movie that I want to download, White Noise, partly beecause it's the same actor as Goodbye Lenin! (which I loved), and partly because it's about schizophrenia. But my drive is pretty much full. Mmm, questions, questions.

I just saw the new Evanescence video. I'm still not sure what I think about the song, although it's mostly positive. I really, really want Amy's wardrobe, though. Oh, and the random green-eyed guy was really hot. *is shallow*

Yaaaaayyyyyyy!!

I'm the proud owner of Zoé's new album, Memo Rex Commander y el Corazón Atómico de la Vía Láctea (Memo Rex Commander and the atomic heart of the milky way) [yes, for realz].

Eeeeeh, it rocks my socks off. *g* The art is wooonderful, I should take a picture soon (i.e. I probably will, because I'm simple like that), with this black monster-like thingy in black (which walks with the band in the booklet's cover XD) and everything is black, pink and gold, which makes the lyrics a tad difficult to read, but oh well, the pretty B&W pictures make up for it.

My favorite songs so far are: 'Vía Láctea', 'Vinyl' and 'Nunca' but most of them are really good anyway. It's a much mellower album, it quite surprised me in that (because I dig the sound of 'Asteroide' or 'Deja Te Conecto'...), but it is good. Then again, Zoé can't exactly do wrong in my eyes XDD

Say 'aye' if you guys want me to upload it!

Yesterday, late at night, I saw a pretty cool music video. The animation was both cute and impeccably done, matching the lyrics. It had a pretty good dark atmosphere, and low, muted colors that fitted very well - all of that without mentioning the nice cameos. So, this all sounds very good, so, what's the bad part of it, you'll be wondering. That it was a Tatiana ) video.

Clearly, there's something horribly wrong with humanity. *weeps*

I'm downloading the Nana movie, because I was going through fan pages and the casting seems sooo good (it's like, every actor fits their character, or something), and because the actor playing Nobu is hot. As in hot with a BIG, capital H. *drools* I'll let you know if it's any good.

I'm still writing my sentences - so much for finishing today - and oooh, but I suddenly want to write Nine-era fic. Don't ask me why, but I do. So there's been some Nine/Rose, some Rose/Jack and more importantly, some Nine/Rose/Jack OT3 goodness *g* Oh my, but this is fun!

CRAPPY NEWS TOUGH: Zoé will be signing autopraphs on the 26th. I won't come back from New York until the frikin 27th. GRRRR. Not only will I be missing the concert, but I'll miss the chance to see them in person. *weeps again*

Esdrújula. A grammatical rule for accentuation, saying that all the words with the tonic syllable in the third to last syllable must always be accentuated. I love this word because not only it's the living example of the rule, but it also has such a nice ring to it (the tongue just rolls so pleasently around the strong drú), and because it just can't be translated to English.
