When I grow up, I wanna be Ziggy Stardust.

Everybody who is part of the Twitterverse (and some who are not) have heard about the "Music Monday" or the "Follow Friday", but what about the rest of the days? The Twitterweek has 5 more days to spend writting non-sense tweets!

What about the Tedious Tuesday? You can talk about the things you find boring, it worths a tweet. Or maybe you prefer the Wacky Wednesday? No? You don't find them interesting? And what if there was a "Swingers' Sunday"? More interesting, isn't it? Imagine all the nasty tweets every sunday (make sure your parents don't have a Twitter account in order to enjoy this day). Maybe you can convince Ashlee Simpson to trade her husband with you via twitter (and then wake up from your dream).

The Twitterverse is complex, and full of resources, what do you say if we try to name all the days of its week?

(Please, ignore the slightly sarcastic tone of that last phrase)

I think I want to join some photography group or something, I've been in a photographic mood lately. I don't know any photography group, but even if I knew some, I don't think I would join one, I don't like when people force me to do something I don't want to, or, in this case, to take pictures of something just to make it fit with a topic I'm not interested in.

People with 365 projects, do you post your pics to a group?

The only problem I have with a 365 Project is that I won't be able to post anything on Tuesdays, actually, I won't be able to be online or to do anything apart from school on tuesdays when the semester starts, so, if I start a 365 project, it'll be more like 365 Project minus tuesdays (I was going to write the number of days in a years without tuesdays, but I won't make the counting, there's a reason I chose a career without math or anything related)

Anyway. Whatever. I'll just post pics.

-EDIT: I solved it; I created a gallery called Day by Day where I'll post pics that represent special days, or just the extraordinary ordinarity of the common days. Check it out, I hope you like it.

My username. But what does it mean to me?

It's my life resumed. Minus the music, I couldn't find anything music related that sounds like the other words xD

Crushes:

I've always liked the smart guys, the wise-asses, the sarcastics, full of curious facts, sometimes geeky guys. I also like the bad guys, the rebels, my friends always say that I'll end up being a groupie if my band doesn't work

Actually, I think I admire some of my crushes; Oscar Wilde was an awesome writter and a wise, refined and kind of biting person, Patrick Stump knows everything about music, Johnny Depp is an amazing actor and Billie Joe is a rocker with a concience.

Rashes:

I'm allergic to a lot of weird things. (What's weirder than an allergy to crickets?) When I was little, I coudn't get in the public pools because I was allergic to the products they use to clean it. When I was in 3d grade I got a gross allergic reaction, all my body was covered in like another burnt skin, I don't know how to describe it, but other kids asked me what the hell was going on with my skin, and a girl told me I was going to get cancer. That weird it was.

I haven't had an allergy reaction as big as that one since then.

Brushes:

I don't like to paint, but I came from a family of artists so I'm "naturally talented" for drawing and stuff. I'm studying Design because I wanna learn how to draw and to paint, and also some programs to draw my designs (clothes, I'm not really into graphic design)(yet)

And finally, I couldn't include it in my username, but music is my life, my passion and my motivation, the reason I wake up every evening xD or every morning if I have to go to school. If somebody's interestend in doing a band via Internet, I need a bassist, a drummer and a  guitarist (I am a guitarrist, but no band can sound decent without a 2nd guitar xD) =D

This is kind of my 1000 comments celebration. Everytime I'll get a good number, on buzzes or comments, I'll post something, and I'll try to make it interesting.

I just got 1000 comments on my posts, basically, an average of 2 comments per post, I think it's ok, it's a good number, and I have to celebrate it!!!!

The problem here is: How am I gonna celebrate? What should I do? Should I post a journal with embarassing and/or weird stuff about me (or just describing myself)? Maybe a video, my first video, well, the first with me on it, about the same, maybe I should do magic tricks ( I dont know any), jump from my roof, or just scream, jump and be really happy?

What do you think?

Any ideas?

1- Patti and Lou play with Dolls

It was the early 70s, unconformity is in the air, New York is the promised land for artists, musicians, poets and anarchists, hip new clubs are full of new bands playing whatever they want; even when protopunk was never a cohesive movement,what ties proto-punk together is a certain provocative sensibility that didn't fit the prevailing counterculture of the time, it was different, it was temping, it was subversive, it was punk.

None of the bands which music was important to stablish the genre on any of the 3 scenes (NY, London, LA) are not considered Punk nor Protopunk, they belong to other genres but time thanks all of them for their contributions; the most important bands in the New York scene were The Velvet Underground (art/experimental rock), Patti Smith (the godmother of punk. Experimental/protopunk), MC5 (whose guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith [such an interesting and talented dude] was Patti Smith's one and only love, they were married until he died)(Hard rock), and the New York Dolls (hard rock, glam punk, protopunk).

The London scene had some good bands too, at the beggining of the movement, Roxy Music (art/glam rock), The Who (hard rock) and David Bowie (mostly glam rock) were the most important people on the scene.

Some people cite John Lenon's Plastic Ono Band as a big influence in the development of the British punk scene; also, nobody (as far as I know) mention them, but I think the early records from The Kinks were very important too. But the most important band if not at all, at least for the British scene was The Who; they were the first band with punk attitude, destroying their instruments on stage, and they wrote the first punk song of all times: "My Generation" This song was released on 1965 so tecnically it belongs to the 60's punk, this genre is called "garage rock" by most of the experts to avoid confusions with 70's punk, but "My Generation" is considered puk anyway.

The invention of the term "punk rock" is generally credited to critic Dave Marsh who used it in 1970 to describe the group Question Mark & the Mysterians

No, The Ramones and the Sex Pistols were NOT pioneers in the genre.

Since none of these musicians are really punk, there's not so much left to say about them (by the moment and the circumstances, of course, we can talk days, weeks and maybe months about them)

In the next part of these series of journals we'll discuss the boom of punk during the late 70s. Yes, that's the part where your beloved Ramones appear.

Here are some videos from these amazing bands:

This is why I think The Kinks are punk:

NO, the song is not from Van Halen.

This is a cover from Van Morrison, but it's a very important song on her career because it was her first single and it contains the phrase that will stay written on history as one of the best quotes ever "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine" Patti was raised as a Jehova's witness and she hated it and the conformism that religions involve; she wrote that line to release her frustration.

This song was co-written by Bruce Springsteen.

This is the punkiest of all the videos, I think. The song is called "Personallity Crisis"

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it, I'll post parts 2 and 3 (and maybe 4, I'm not sure yet) soon.

Meanwhile you can read about the history of Emo (1, 2 and 3) and how it was a really good genre.
