Ayrton Senna
He would be 50 today.
Happy birthday Ayrton! You are the one who combines all that a hero needs. Spirit, skills, humanity, anger, willingness to victory, and what is most important, faith.

I want my, I want my MTV...!
Yesterday...

Found it accidentally and had to write this short commentaire. Just spot the right-up corner. D'you know what I mean, yeah yeah? That was MTV back then...
But to be honest, although in general I'm against all this "sex, dance and beat 'n' house" pop shit of today, I like Lady G., she's original and intelligent at least. And she knows she's kitsch*. Rihanna doesn't.
Then pop music was art, now pop music is a**. Bitter I am. God forgive me these words.
T.
PS. Lord, they even used to play Vangelis on the radio back then.
PPS. By the way, Mull of Kintyre is still Britain's second biggest selling single of all time, apart charity singles. It only falls short of Elton John's remake of "Candle in the Wind" for the Lady D.

Chopin's year
Fryderyk Chopin, famous Polish composer and pianist, one of the most prolific musicians of all time was born 200 years ago- hence 2010 is the Chopin year.
And here's a brilliant tribute to him. But what would be a post of mine without some "influences in music" sauce over it?
So, here we go: Chopin vs Radiohead and outstanding Jack Conte as a performer. Just wow

Please don't wake me or the importance of being idle
For the lazy people.
The classic (funny video - you can watch the Beatles cartoon or just the song itself from 2:00):

The remake of the classic and a classic itself (childhood memories for me, Beatles at the disco =):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0nXhQj-mis&feature=related
And the Beatles influenced but really a classic on it's own (love the video as well):

Try it out. I'm proud to be lazy!
