THE LYNX PARDINUS

Yesterday I watched in the news that the lynx pardinus is in danger of extinction. This animal eats rabbits which are dying because of an illness and as a result of that the lynx doesn't have enough food. The lynx pardinus is also in danger of extinction owing to other reasons related with humans. We are destroying their habitat and there are hunters who kill them. I don't understand how someone can kill an animal but is extremely worse if the animal is in danger of extinction.In my opinion the police should take more control of these hunters and be more estrict with them.

On the other hand, it has been proposed the creation of a place where the lynx pardinus could live without having to worry about hunters and humans that bother them and also they will have people who will take care of their lives and try to make the lynx pardinus to reproduce so in that way they won't be in danger of extinction.

MORE MUSIC

Yesterday I was watching Buenafuente like every day ( I only see the part where Berto, a collaborator, appears. Some day I will talk about him because he is just fantastic) when Andreu introduced a singer called Jamie Cullum. I listened to him and I really like it. He plays the piano like if it was so easy and has a voice that I love. I think that his music is different and relaxing and he plays jazz.

In my opinion it is interesting for artists that programmes on tv give them the opportunity to make people know about their music because nowadays the musicians, specially the new singers, have a lot of problems to send their CD's and this is a way to make publicity of their music. It is true that they are expensive although it is not the artists fault. And we can not forget that without them the music that we love wouldn't exist.

Here I let you a link to a Jamie Cullum's song:

STRANGE WEATHER

These last months the weather is very strange. We are in November and there are days really sunny and we go with t-shirts when last year we went with jackets and it was very cold. Yesterday I saw in the news that shops are lowing the prices of the winter clothes like sweaters, gloves... although the sales are after Christmas because they are not solding this type of clothes. The shopkeepers say that they are solding summer clothes like if we were in July. At least there is something good about this weather and it is that we could buy clothes cheaper than if the weather was colder.

LONDON

Last year, in September, I travelled to London. It was a present from my uncle because of my eighteenth birthday. It was the first time that I travelled by plane, a little old to be my first time but I am really afraid of travelling by plane. When we arrived to the airport of London, we tried to find the house of my uncle's friends because we were going to stay there, but we took the wrong train. We got lost the first day with the suitcases and really tired. But soon we get the right train because we ask people who were there and they were very kind.

We only stayed in London for five days so every day we got up early to be able to visit the city. The first day I went to Camden Town where I bought a lot of things for my family and me and then I went along the Thames with my uncle by boat and I saw The London Eye, The Tower Bridge and a lot of beautiful things. The last day I visited the British Museum and it was really interesting although I was really tired. I remember that the days I stayed there it was sunny and it didn't rain although we were in London. We were very lucky.

The experience was really fun and my uncle's friends were very nice although I couldn't practice my English because they were from Spain. A thing that really shocked me was that everyone dressed different and odd but nobody looked at you like if you were strange and I like that very much. Another thing that in my opinion was interesting is that there were a lot of people who speak Spanish and a lot of foreigners. Definitely I really like my travel to London.

MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC

Today I am going to talk about music. I would like you to recommend the band Arctic Monkeys. They have recorded a new album that is in the shops just a few months ago. I could not give you an opinion about their last CD because I haven't listened to all the songs, but I really like their other CDs. They play indie rock and the singer, Alex Turner, writes the lyrics of the songs. In my opinion they are fantastic.



They are all from Sheffield, England and I love the accent of Alex Turner. Their first album was called Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not with the single I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor thanks to it that they won some prizes. A curious thing is that they become famous by demos that were circulating in the Internet.

Here is the link to a fantastic song of this band that I think is great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEKJAw_tuxg






Another musician that I also like is Pete Doherty. He had a band called The Libertines, but he had problems with drugs and the band was dissolved, but Pete Doherty formed another band called Babyshambles although, in my opinion, it was worse than his first group. Pete Doherty plays rock indie, like Arctic Monkeys, and has amazing songs but his main problem are with drugs. He has been in prison for this reason and has had problems with her last girlfriend, the model Kate Moss.

Here is another link to a song of The Libertines.

CRAZY FANS

Last Wednesday I went to the cinema to watch New Moon, the second part of Twilight. It was the premiere. Yes, the cinema was plenty of crazy teenagers. Before I arrived to the cinema I saw a girl with wolf's ears on her head and a t-shirt with a wolf and the name of Jacob Black on it, who is a character of the film. I think people are crazy with this film and the books. Last year when I watched the first film, Twilight, when the vampire, the actor Robert Pattinson, appeared in the film all the cinema started to shout at the screen. Like if he could hear them. Of course I couldn't hear anything of his dialogue. This time they shouted with Robert Pattinson and the worewolf, in the film called Jacob Black.
I didn't like the first film, but the second is more interesting, maybe because it has another film director. They didn't show everything that appears in the book, but the books are always better than the films.
On the other hand I saw some interviews to Robert Pattinson and he tells that some fans ask him to bite them or to marry him and they are shouting all the time. If I were him I would be a little scared because, definitely, fans are crazy.
Here is the trailer of the film

SONGS FOR THE SÁHARA

Tonight it will be a special concert in Madrid. It is a concert where singers and actors will sing together and the money that they earned will be for the people of the Sáhara. In this project colaborate musicians like Estopa, El Canto del Loco, Conchita, Bebe, Pereza or Manuel Carrasco; and actors like Santi Millán, Juan José Ballesta, Alberto Amarilla, Álex González, Edu Soto, Inma Cuesta or Lluvia Rojo. They had recorded the CD but they don't earned any money, which will be destinated specially to buy camels for the Sáhara because provide milk, it is used as a transport and their meat is very appreciated there.
The concert will be introduced by the actor Santi Millán and the songs will be clasics of pop rock which are in the CD that will be in the shops tomorrow.
In my opinion it is a fantastic idea to help people who are living in really bad conditions and these famous people can do something to make their lives a little better, and also they admitted that it was fun.
