Lana del Rey on the West Coast

Lana del Rey is back with Ultraviolence. After her impressive debut album Born to die many thought Lana del Rey was not going to last long, yet such prognosis has turned out to be mistaken as she is maintaining the quality of her work in a very positive level, albeit the themes of her music have not changed all her songs produced have the same magical aura of her first work Born to die. She has been very busy, Lana del Rey collaborated with great artists on The Great Gatsby soundtrack movie and produced new songs like the fabulous Ride. Now, her new single West Coast is wonderful likewise.

The first hit of Lana del Rey was Born to die, (there is a story on this blog regarding that album and hit), model Bradley Soileau appeared alongside Lana del Rey on that first video clip being selected as well to appear on this single of Lana del Rey West Coast.

Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys (a story about them is to appear here very soon) has produced West Coast. I do really like this video, a beautiful, attractive couple dressed in style in a remarkable place like the beaches of the West Coast (we guess), it is really stylish, modern but without forgetting the greatness of the classic roots of Lana del Rey´s music.

Lana del Rey is missing her lover so much on West Coast song perhaps at the same degree hearing her we were waiting on cue for a new album of Lana del Rey

Did Led Zeppelin plagiarize Stairway To Heaven?

 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Stairway to Heaven is considered one of the best songs ever composed. Without going any further, it is the most playable song in radio history. Similarly, Jimmy Page´s riff has been selected many times as the best in rock history. However, an unbelievable fact has appeared recently and it is that after more than forty years generating millions for Led Zeppelin, the British band has been sued over the authorship of such a renowned song.  I am to give more details after you watch and compare the two songs.

                                            

        
                                           SONG TAURUS BY SPIRIT

                          STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN LED ZEPPELIN

Led Zeppelin reissues its 3 first records. Led Zeppelin IV is the one which includes legendary song Stairway to Heaven, it is supposed to be soon as well, if the demand still goes on perhaps they could not. Randy California was the leader of this group called Spirit who passed away in 1994, his family and friends claim his authorship so that be credited forever. What is incredible is due to lack of cash they were not able to do it before. They have being saving for years and they sue now Led Zeppelin that admit having toured with band Spirit prior to unveil Stairway to Heaven.

Whilst British band Led Zeppelin became wealhy, famous and entered rock history, Randy California leader and guitarist of Spirit, ended up playing in a Indian Restaurant in exchange for food. Such a hard and gruelling the music industry can be. Will they win the demand? Will it be worthy? Will Led Zeppelin recognize Randy California´s authorship? Do Led Zepellin Steal the song Stairway to Heaven, also considered to include Satanic messages within?

Stag Party Stuhdp

Brutally, the eternal, ceaseless and cruel time do always make the supposed rulers of the world (transient humans) look ridiculous. Thank god STUHDP has hired someone to sweeten the otherwise grim setbacks of which our life happenings are made. As the scrutiny of the joyful moments ever lived makes us realise there is nothing like the Stag Party of a comrade (if that friend is from Stuhdp it can be a triple rapture indeed) it was past time to pen about a Stag Party Stuhdp as a result.

                                             STAG PARTY STUHDP

On July, 13 of 2013, Stuhdp had the chance of enjoy a summer soiree in Tarazona wherein one of the members of Stuhdp (3 fellow members to do it to date) announced us he was on the verge of getting married. Regardless of the clapping of hands we noted back then we knew inside us that something was dying down as such a Stuhdp fulcrum was no going to be within STUHDP at the same degree anymore We will no longer see Joan trying to deceive a young girl so that getting laid, we no longer will see him saying cockamamie remarks sozzled nor making a fuss because some foreign tourists make a mess of the streets of his hometown Tarazona. For these reasons and some others we are to analyse the Two Stag Parties of Stuhdp that have taken place in order to avoid mistakes of any kind. To say the truth,  what we are to do is compare the two strippers Stuhdp has been able to meet in detail in order to comment who is the one who deserves praise being able to choose the third one in the best conditions available. Whether the next stripper is an immigrant with no legal papers or an one-eyed transsexual, we hope everything turns out well and Joan makes his big day swimmingly.

                                              
STAG PARTY STUHDP 2007

In May, 2007, Mel experienced inside him what a Stuhdp Stag Party can become, our poor pal was convinced into the notion that a modest, ragged waitress with a pathetic Argentinian accent was to enliven his Stag Party Stuhdp when a Brazilian girl with his favourite football team t-shirt on (team which plays in the Spanish Fourth Division) entered into action. The girl in question, was a Brazilian gal who talked to two Stuhdp members prior to start working as you can see. 

STUHDP

She was from Sao Paulo and was  studying in Europe, she needed cash so she worked as a stripper at weekends. Nevertheless, Mel was not the only one who devised the charm of this Brazilian girl...

STAG PARTY STUHDP 2012

In 2012 everybody thought Spain was not going to overcome the crossroad in which it was, there was no remedy, a bailout was really close therefore the death certificate of this country was going to be signed, there was no solution available. Likewise, this was what Peter thought when a Spanish stripper (there was no money left to hire foreign ones) put a blindfold around him. Notwithstanding, everybody knows that even in the most arduous desert some water is available thus what Peter was living was no so hard at all as there is nothing wrong when a young girl with no many clothes on plays little tricks with you, if not, ask the aforementioned who like (somehow) Spain  was able to conquered the situation leaving behind any kind of troubles. 

What will happen in the next Stag Party Stuhdp? STAY TUNE.

The luck of Barry Lyndon

Thackeray 

One of my favourites movies ever is Barry Lyndon by Stanley Kubrick based on the novel of William Makepeace Thackeray, The luck of Barry Lyndon that I have just read. I have also started Vanity Fair and I really think this coruscating writer is one of the best in Literature history, yet I believe he is not so praised as he should be. For instance, The Luck of Barry Lyndon is witty, fun and splendidly written. Kubrick was also interested in shooting his version of Vanity Fair but turned instead to Barry Lyndon because of the length of that iconic novel to whose name a publication still pays homage today as well as it inspired many famous magazines in the past. The greatness of novel The luck of Barry Lyndon bears testimony to the exceptional command of English Thackeray conveys. Moreover,  the extraordinary account of different adventures  Barry Lyndon is able to experience which foretells what can we expect of life providing us with valuable lessons regarding life, marriage, human nature, war, honor... Thackeray based his book on the true story of a Andrew Robinson Stoney who was married to a wealthy woman and was an adventurer indeed. 

Barry Lyndon 

The luck of Barry Lyndon is a story of a man born in Ireland that travels throughout Europe finding breathtaking adventures and both misfortune and success. It is considered the first novel without a hero contingent upon the fact Thackeray puts everything Barry Lyndon recalls into doubt within the figure of an unreliable narrator as showing us that perhaps everything that we are told is not true and may be uncertain. Notwithstanding, Does not Barry Lyndon say the truth? Cannot we learn something valuable from his assertions or everything is just accursed thus we must not take that into account? Shall we believe Barry Lyndon given what he is capable of? Are his teachings interesting? This is the key effect. There is a part on the novel when Barry Lyndon embezzles plenty of money from rich people playing cards. However, the protagonist ask us something remarkable: Am I worse than a banker or a stock broker that stole your money to do some business? The politician or the lawyer that lie in order to get cash? The doctor that tells how the weather is like while keeps on his pocket some coins? Of course we should believe in our politicians, lawyers, stock brokers and doctors... Shan´t we?Likewise, at the end of the novel, the author finishes The luck of Barry Lyndon albeit he explains (something it is avoided within some earlier editions) that many good people, clever and brilliant seldom succeed whilst bad people, arrogant, crooked, selfish are the ones who do.

William Makepeace Thackeray  Barry Lyndon

How many people are living in abundance after having behaved badly? How many clever and candid people are living in misery and they are unfairly not allowed to have a better life? Are ruthless criminals behind bars? Does being pure at heart guarantee you a prosperous life? Are these bankers, private doctors, lawyers or politicians good people who behave better than an Irish gambler such Barry Lyndon? Really?  Do doctors always look for the best regarding our health? Do lawyers work for good people? Do they want to make justice or earn money? Are bankers and stock brokers to trust? Do they use our money properly and do always tell us the truth? This is one of lessons of Barry Lyndon, the underlying key factor is to discover that life is unfair and hard and on no account should we believe fairy tales. Life is painful and must be fought hard, sometimes with skills as rotten as the ones Barry Lyndon use. Thereafter, we should laugh at him seeing how  he squanders millions due to a nonchalant profligacy and realising he is not so fabulous as he assures he is although he did not have a bad existence after all.

Barry Lyndon

The memories of Barry Lyndon will always be there to be discovered. In case you dislike reading there is some guy called Stanley Kubrick who made an outstanding movie. Kubrick changed the end and did not reproduce the ironic, humorous tenor of The luck of Barry Lyndon, perhaps it was very difficult to imitate it on a movie. He made a beautiful drama instead that impressed me as no other movie has ever done. All things considered, readers of The luck of Barry Lyndon and the viewers of the movie Barry Lyndon will always tell of the adventures of such a special personage as that gentleman from Ireland. Whether Barry Lyndon deserved better or did he end fairly is something every person should decide over. Do share, rate or comment, have a nice day
