Another Classic within the Music Festival Scene : Glastonbury,rocking since 1970  . Many other festivals have taken inspiration from this one, even to create their lineups,because Glasto ( as it is cherished called) team arrange a fantastic and impressive one, year after year, anyone important and or up coming in the Rock ( in all of their genres)  or Pop will be playing here.

I love that internet aloud us being there without having to be in the exact place. Breaking the copyright idea that old dinosaurs have in the music industry and any copyright law enforcement protector ,that says that you have to charge for everything. The success is in the festival itself and therefore the profit. This platform just reaffirms the product in a worldwide position.So they better start playing the new game and start forgetting the one that ruled in the 80´s and mid 90´s.

UPDATE: Apparently there is steel dinosaurs in every industry. Glasto is not available for people outside their country.I don’t know if the massive following attention of the festival outside the UK made people who manages BBC page close it for foreigners ,due to a problem with bandwidth or copyright .They should arrange this for the rest of it or at least for next year. Coachella was available to anyone in Youtube Live.

Enjoy,

P.S: Two Door Cinema Club Playing right now. They sound so good live, just like in the record but with the spice of the live ambiance.

So you didn’t think the Coachella lineup was good enough for you? Or whatever reason you have for not being there right now, you steel can see what is happening in three of the most important stages of the music festival over Youtube´s Live Coachella Chanel. Right now i´m listening Duran Duran while taking a shower.

Profit the live experience and enjoy,

P.S: Youtube: It would be awesome if there was the live video embed option for bloggers around the world to give the shout out to the event.

Watch now LCD Soundsystem last show Live from Madison Square Garden , it started at 9pm EST :

LOVE

Red is usually a color to represent Passion and hearts a symbol of Love .Although science confirms that those feelings are originated in our brains when chemical substances are released, such as endorphins, adrenaline, serotonin,dopamine etc…The logical response of why we produce that feeling is the survival of the species.

Literature and art illustrates the complicated interaction between humans and how many times it ends in passionate crimes that leads to the bloodshed .History confirms some crazy love stories that built and destroyed empires and civilizations.All these don’t seem to be very evolutive ,psychologists explains it as a pathological state of the mind.

All these makes me think that we are steel very primitive even if we belive we are super evolved.Because everything we do is related to the survival of our species and in between of those lines is where all the strong feeling of being alive,loved,connected to our environment lingers, resulting in the majesty of humanity , leading us to create, think and keep evolving and loving.

U2 Live Internet Streaming On Youtube From Rose Bowl At Los Angeles California.
October the 25th , 2009.

U2 is not the same young, garage, rebellious band that they were in the beginning of their carrier. Maybe it has to do with Bono’s dream as a little boy and teenager of becoming into a great show -men (He wanted to be as cool in stage as Tom Jones).

The way they do music is the same but the form in which is presented to the public is different. The approach to the Irish problematic is less empirical and now the opinion is more informed, educated and pro active; they moved from local to global issues.

To be a true artist it is fundamental to be sensitive and sensible to the reality and events that surround you as well as your own, to later transform that new idea into a new world.

The Dublin Band creates those worlds in their tours.They want to innovate in them.The core is the music and they have been adding elements to it.  First was the  innovation with architectural structures,lights,videos ,screens and trying a closer approach to the audience. In the Vertigo Tour they decided to join forces with the National Geographic Society to produce a movie called U2-3D which would be the first digital 3D movie recorded live and with 5.1 sourund sound. The result was a movie experience were people would attend the cinema theaters and felt inside a concert where they would sing and dance to the beat of the songs and not in a movie were characters throws water at you to show it was a 3D movie. The implications of these two companies working together in such project would be the affirmation to the cinematographic industry that 3D will be the more frequently used in the future.

With the 360 degrees Tour they made another landmark in the music buisness. They broadcasted live from the Rose Bowl in L.A  and for free through Youtube obviously in the nets a concert targeted to a worldwide audience. They did it with impeccable HD quality and with multiple camera angles.Once again they do another statement with the form of their message: The internet is just as important as other telecommunication media. We want to be close as possible to our fanbase. We want to keep innovating. We wan’t you to get inside of our uthopic world and move you with our music. And maybe in their minds internet is a way of democratizing music, but i think these issue is more complicated and it dissevers a post of it’s own.

The only thing i have to say to close these post is:

¡VIVA THE EVOLUTION … VAMONOS MUCHACHITOS!
