MUSIC, what if I change my taste?

I don’t know which is my favorite song or artist/band. Maybe in three weeks I will hate what I am listening right now. So, I will talk about the last thing I had listen to on my Spotify:   The album NOMC15(Live) by New Order. I have listen it all week, I think it is because I didn’t listen to this artist for a while. I like a lot this work because it is a live and it sounds amazing. In another part, I recently made a big connection, I didn’t know that New Order born after Ian Curtis died, he was the lead singer and songwriter of the band Joy Division (I also like this band). So, when I realized that New Order is composed by the same musicians I felt like I didn’t really like Joy Division, because this is important I think! On the other hand, New Order is from Manchester, UK. They became famous in the 1980’s. I don’t understand a lot about music’s genres but Wikipedia says that New Order is part of synthpop, alternative dance, dance-rock and a lot more. In this ...

Sacramento, California 1894. She was born in the United States, and start writing at five years old. Then she went to the University of California to study English.

In her novels and essays you can highlight: The year of magical thinking , the white album and Blue Nights. I choose her because of her talent to observe and the quality to find what to write about, besides her...

This is a picture from my class at school when I was five years old. I was in “kinder” in 2003. I don’t remember who took the picture. But I like it because we were children. The classroom is full with ugly drawings that we made and with a lot of different colors. Also, I like it because there are three girls that they are still my friends. It is funny to look us now because we are so different. Last year we found this photo and we laugh a lot, we didn’t remember we were together in that class but it was when we met. As well, it is funny the poses of the children, some of them look so happy and others angry or sad. I don’t remember all the names but I have some of them in the social medias and it is weird to see what they are becoming. I remember that one of the teacher’s name was Veronica and with my friends we used to sing 31 minutos .
