Últimamente se ha colado por nuestra tele un anuncio que anima a "crear tu propio anuncio" . Como marketing, no está mal: implican a la audiencia y además les hacen el trabajo (porque...no se habrán quedado sin ideas?) Los mejores se emitirán a su vez por televisión y en diferentes eventos de la marca en cuestión.
Así lo ven en el extranjero:
El tema en el que se inspira, se llama así, Lola, y es un clásico de la banda britanica The Kinks. Ya ha llovido desde Junio de 1970, cuando dieron a conocer esta curiosa historia.
LOLA - The Kinks
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Roseira do teu mencer...
La entrada de hoy es obligada... Desde 1963, cuando se homenajeó a Rosalía de Castro, ya son 45 los años que se llevan celebrando el Dia de las Letras Gallegas. Este año la festividad está dedicada a Xosé María Álvarez Blázquez. Nacido en Tui en 1915, fue miembro de la Real Academia Galega, cronista oficial de la ciudad de Vigo y finalista del Premio Nadal, entre otras muchas cosas.
Era un airiño soave
Era un airiño soave
que se erguéu pol-a mañán
e viña de non se sabe.
Era un recendo de rosas
da roseira de ningures,
que se metéu pol-a porta.
Era unha cantiga leda
que nascía non sei onde
e petaba na fiestra.
Era unha gracia sotil
que baixaba das estrelas...
¡Eras tí!

One Republic - Apologize
One Republic es un quinteto de Colorado, que debuta con su album "Dreaming Out Loud" . Su carta de presentación la escriben con "Apologize" y suena así... en su primera versión (antes de que el productor y "hip-hopero" Timbaland la reversionase, dándole su toque personal)
Apologize - One Republic
I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say...
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
(But that's nothing new) Yeah yeah
I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say "Sorry" like the angel, heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Woahooo woah
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'm holding on your rope

Día del Libro
Aprovechando que hoy es el día del libro, voy a hacer este meme (parecido a uno en el que hace algún tiempo participé). Consiste en ir a la página 139 del libro que esté uno leyendo y copiar el segundo párrafo... Entre otras cosas estoy estoy enfrascada con la historia de "La catedral del mar" de Ildefonso Falcones y esto es lo que me he encontrado en la citada página:
"Hacía casi una decada que golpeó al muchacho de la forja. Esperaba que no hubiera muerto. Arnau y Joanet saltaban a su alrededor. Se le adelantaban corriendo, volvían atrás con la misma rapidez y lo miraban con los ojos brillantes y una sonrisa en la boca."
El que quiera que recoja el guante... ¡Feliz día del libro!

Max y Moritz
Wilhelm Busch era un caricaturista alemán nacido cerca de Hannover (15 de abril de 1832). Considerado el precursor de los comics de hoy en día, creó a "Max y Moritz" (una especie de Zipi y Zape alemanes). Las siete historietas escritas en pareados se publicaron en 1865... y cuentan las bromas que los dos les gastan a sus vecinos.
Si sabes alemán, puedes leer aquí mismo las travesuras de:
...bueno, con ayuda de un poco de inglés. Investiga un poco! ; )

Descubriendo a "Editors"
Los Editors son un grupo británico que llegan desde la ciudad de Birmingham con sonido Indie. Su segundo álbum se llama "An End Has A Start"y este es uno de los temas que contiene...
THE RACING RATS - EDITORS
When the time comes
You're no longer there
Fall down to my knees
Begin my nightmare
Words spill from my drunken mouth
I just can't keep them all in
I keep up with the racing rats
And do my best to win
Slow down little one
You can't keep running away
You mustn't go outside yet
It's not your time to play
Standing at the edge of your town
With the skylight in your eyes
Reaching out to gods
The sun says it’s goodbyes
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth
Let's pretend we never met
Let's pretend we're on our own
We live different lives
Until our covers blown
I push my hand up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
Suddenly night time has begun
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth
Come on now
You knew you were lost
But you carried on anyway
Oh come on now
You knew you had no time
But you let the day drift away
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it make
In the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth

El día π
Como es 14 de marzo (y según el calendario estadounidense se escribe 3/14), resulta que hoy es el día π ... De lo que se entera una! Al parecer, hay gente que lo celebra de muy diversas maneras: desde hacer competiciones matemáticas o comer pastel ("pie" en inglés - vaya, otra casualidad!) a "customizarse" la ropa con el símbolo del π,...
Y si seguimos hablando de números, resulta que casualmente un 14 de marzo (en 1879) nació Albert Einstein... Hoy parece que todo son casualidades! ; )

La lista de la compra
Hay listas para todos los gustos, incluso sin tener en cuenta la lista de la compra.
De vez en cuando salen la lista de los más millonarios, los mejor o los peor vestidos, la película más taquillera, listas de música, de los libros más vendidos (por otro nombre conocidos también como best-sellers), listas de guapos y de feos,...y en la variedad está el gusto.
Una lista curiosa es la que le otorga la medalla de oro al Frigo Pie, como mejor helado de la historia
...y es que cuando uno se aburre, puede perder el tiempo en la red y a alguien se le ha ocurrido hacer listas de todo tipo en la web all-rankings.com
Si no te has quedado a gusto con votar las siete maravillas del mundo, aquí podrás encontrar temas variados para opinar.

Grammy Awards 2008
Pólemica y presente en la distancia durante la gala (... sin palabras...), la indiscutible ganadora de los Grammy de este año ha sido Amy Winehouse.
Así suena el video "REHAB" de AMY WINEHOUSE ...
They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won’t go, go, go
I’d rather be at home with Ray
I ain’t got seventy days
'Cause there’s nothing, there's nothing you can teach me
That I can’t learn from Mr. Hathaway
I didn’t get a lot in class
But I know we don’t come in a shot glass
They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I’m fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won’t go, go, go
The man said, "Why do you think you here?"
I said, "I got no idea"
I’m gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near
He said, "I just think you’re depressed"
Kiss me, yeah baby and go rest"
They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I don’t ever wanna drink again
I just, ooh, I just need a friend
I’m not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I’m on the mend
And it’s not just my pride
It’s just 'til these tears have dried
They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black and when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I’m fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won’t go, go, go
