What Things Can You Find In Blood Test

Stir of Echoes - Stir of Echoes

Sunday evening broadcast on television Stir of Echoes (far more beautiful and meaningful the original title, Stir of Echoes), beautiful 1999 film directed by David Koepp and starring a talented Kevin Bacon .
The film is often shown on television, but I wanted a moment to emphasize the importance and originality of the title.

Little Jake has special powers ... it seems able to speak with the dead and sees things that others can not. The father Tom is a young man disappointed by life and not satisfied, apparently an ordinary person. After a hypnotic session, something changes in him and begins to see and hear strange things ...
The plot may at first suggest The Sixth Sense, M. Night overrated film of the phantom Shyamalan. Often, this film was pulled over and place in the wake of the movie with Bruce Willis. But in reality the two films are of the same year and, although starting from a given municipality, then diverge to different shores.
While Shyamalan's film is built around the final effect, however, anticipated by a growing tension, that of the unknown Koepp is built on doubt, on anxiety research. The story centers on the child than the father trying to unravel the tangle of his visions, facing a new gift for the first time. The film sometimes gets stuck, but has the advantage of often fill the viewer in doubt, provide clues and ideas and then not fully explained, but they're standing, something increasingly rare nowadays. Of note also a clever use of special effects, really well done and refined. The film is based partly thanks to the interpretation of Bacon, always ready to sacrifice the story that plays every now and scored substantial points of his filmography ( Tremors, Mystic River, The Woodsman ). Koepp has rejected the less successful Secret Window.
Some memorable sequences: the scene of hypnosis, with images of the cinema / theater, the visions of Bacon and a shift in the other dimension, the final scene ...
last note. Behind a great movie, there is often a great writer ... It is not always true, but in this case. The story is in fact taken from a story by the great Richard Matheson, one of the greatest writers still living, the acknowledged master Stephen King. Matheson is unknown to most, but in reality is the author of I Am Legend , from which various versions have been taken and is going to get another Will Smith (of hopefully good ...), Duel ... E 'was also the author of the television episodes of Star Trek and The Twilight Zone.

Black Particles In Urine Blood

Lou Reed - Berlin Live Concert

Last night I attended the concert by Lou Reed in Cremona.
The usual strange connections of life ... until yesterday afternoon did not know the concert and Cremona, when I heard through a friend of mine in Cremona (thanks again!), I have the slingshot to biblietti. Of course the tickets were gone, but thanks to the pious souls who had an extra ticket, I managed to get (and also in a good position). Lucky man ... I confess I know little
Reed, much less the concept album that sounded in full yesterday, Berlin, recorded in 1973. But the icon Reed, singer and author cursed, pushed me to the concert. What, really good gig ... Lou comes on stage with a real orchestra composed of woodwinds, strings, a choir of boys and a singer knows fear. Mix incredibly talented musicians, Reed's personality, a beautiful setting, and you have an exciting concert. The bottom mimics the art of Chinese screens. Hung crooked and there is also a sofa which is charged as a foreign object in the scene. The peaceful backdrop of China, however, is animated and upset by movies that are shown above, to comment about the song perfectly.
Reed is a great performer and a great story-teller ... and the story told by Berlin is a story of love and loneliness, sad and gloomy. An anguished album, which begins with great fanfare and ends in tragedy, experiencing moments of discouragement dictated by some slow pieces and poignant, absolutely magnificent. At the end of the album, Reed greeted everyone, then go back and play 3 or 4 pieces famous. In total an hour and a half of music and art together, full of feelings and images and data from the words of Lou from the haunting music of the album. Reed
To learn more go here . And
here for a discussion on the album.
The Italian tour ends tomorrow in Cagliari.

Is The 2009 Silverado Good In Mud

Sonico Sonico

Here I am again after a long pause. And back at the Sonic Youth concert in Ferrara, to whom I had spoken.
Friday, July 6. At 13.30 me and my three friends from cream in the car, at a time of Ferrara. I was hoping to get there first, but eventually parked around 17:30 because of the damn traffic usually around Bologna.
After a carefree ride in the city center, we arrive in Piazza del Duomo, next to the Castle. We hear them at some point the music and realize that Sonic was feeling. We thought we would get closer to the square of the castle where there was the stage, hoping to follow through the gates a few fragments evidence. Only that the square was open: the Sonic were doing the soundcheck to open gates in front of everyone!
We then slings under the stage and we have seen in practice to a mini concert about twenty minutes! They have proven especially the songs of the last album.








After the tests, Ranaldo and Shelley were on stage while Moore and Gordon get off the stage and off into the streets of Ferarri. Extremely available, take photos and sign autographs. Ecstatic, I could not find the strength to jump up to Gordon, even though it is one of my most secret dreams ...
After eating the sumptuous and huge sandwiches prepared by my friend Ali, also known as "Chef", we were shipped out of the Square, waiting for the official opening of the gates. In the meantime I realized that the sandwiches Ale was not so great because I was still gripped by the pangs of hunger. So I abbandondato my chums and I went to get a flatbread in a shack a few minutes from there. While waiting for that nice lady Emilia I prepare my baked flat bread and mozzarella, it's been there before Lee Ranaldo bike! Ferrara was shooting, map in hand, waiting for the concert. Then I cast on Ranaldo and look a bit '!




I'm the one without sunglasses ... I must really thank
Ale for rolls shriveled, without which I would not have got hungry, I would not go looking for something to eat and I would not have caught Ranaldo!
The strange twists of life ...

21 hours, the concert part of My Cat Is An Alien (I did not happen ....). Around 22
the concert begins.
And Sonic Youth playing Daydream Nation in full for their own! And what a beginning! They start with Teen Age Riot , played very well. They make the entire album without a break, with an increasing participation and performance. On stage there are only four of them. Concluding the concert dedicated to the album with Trilogy piece very challenging.
I'm no expert, but the feeling is that the Sonic have faithfully performed the album in 1988, updating certain passages, by better coordinating everything and taking care of every single part. The performance seemed perfect. Daydream Nation has always impressed me to the expressive violence of the songs, that sound is not perfect and often crude. When running the office of violence was felt throughout, the sound was less harsh, but always powerful.



Then they played again for a good half hour, making six pieces of the last album: Reena, Incinerate, Jams Run Free, Pink Steam, Or, What a Waste .
short, a great concert, that has honored a landmark album that twenty years after its release still retains its freshness and sonic impact. They then move certainly less, but still play the guitar with the arches against the scaffolding of the stage, raised above the head, thrown against the speaker. Kim Gordon, still during the performance of Daydream Nation, has been unleashed in the last few songs, jumping, moving around on stage, doing "circle" ... with a short, tight dress, in spite of his 54 years!

conclude with a bit 'of links to movies.
Here are some concert footage of Ferrara.
here instead to see concert of 2002, on a completely different stage, to understand the position he has today. And here, to remember the old days, young and rowdy.
Years pass, but they are always Sonic.
Sonic Youth is still alive.
(Thanks, Ale)
