Discolouration On Cervix

Minutes: Julie Doiron - 'Blue' (2009)



I'm seeing a man takes pictures his son, who makes faces and postures in the boring waiting room of the airport. The child must be six years old and has the biggest shoes I've ever seen put to one of his age, is as if he had carved in wood and knees have been exhausted, leaving the legs three times thicker from there to the feet. Even with headphones on, I can hear his laughter desacomplejada above the music as I write. I used to be like, I remember, I do not mind at all that anyone's attention fall on me, until at some point that changed and I began to hide, to apologize and ask forgiveness for being there outside wherever.

When I was little to give to the world today-a wonderful way to get to severe cold has made in Copenhagen, and latent interior monologue has become an external dialogue, and that's always relief that follows a treacherous stream of vulnerability and tenderness. I said goodbye hand and without meaning to, and when I just stayed around me and myself again. I wondered how I could define myself as a loner allegedly convinced and need both the embrace of a person. What accusation that easy. I guess for survival you turn to things as you seem to lose weight and only you know how you are and how many secrets lying tangled in ugliness omit in your story: a story, polished base of repetition is so right and studied as a response to a frequent question in an interview, and shipped and without even thinking.

sad Thinking of trying to deny a fierce fear to live and sell instead a gimmick complacency and conformity, of detachment, I embarked towards Zurich and little has come off this song timely Julie Doiron:

"I decided long ago
not laugh again
never to mourn
not want to return to "

protected from pain believe the failure to return to risk in any field is something that as a valid idea can not last. Refusing the feelings I feel a torture in itself, far from comfort. You will discover weeping and loving although follow shaking his head from left to right with your eyes closed. Doiron's voice in the right channel stereo, and accompanied only by guitar drags brittle than wet grass on the left channel, it breaks your heart when after the list of things I do not plan to fall back says "I decided not to return to wanting / so I'm sad / I'm sad" . The charming choruses that come to wrap the word "blue" do not hide the distress caused by the suspicion that the remedy chosen the dead leaves.
Although the guitar volume up a bit and just listening to both channels to give a slightly epic final, which says is in dots. I felt like a fool, displayed, that happens when a song seems to talk about you.

Living with affection and indifference seems to me a resolution to the concerns raised by this song. But if Julie Doiron sing it at night on a hill under the stars as I suppose, the ideal would be a runaway star that trickle hot butter for each of its ends, mocking unattainable. I thought being touched, but no. No.

To Bruce.

Brothers and Sisters

Members of Civil Society Bees us are gathered in the Holy Land Acteal to undertake a journey of two days of fasting and prayer for peace. This will naturally remind us of our brothers and sisters massacred here on December 22, 1997 while doing the same thing we are doing now: fast and pray for peace. But this time we are united not only by the memory of our martyrs of Acteal, also join in solidarity with brothers and sisters who have been killed recently in other parts of our country and especially our hearts to unite those who in days Recent studies have begun fasting for peace and justice, we say we hear your call and invite others to follow along our hearts. We join those who refuse to forget the killing of 16 youth in Salvarcar, Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, a year ago, who demanded not to leave unpunished murders of many men and women human rights defenders. With this action and non-violent peaceful that we are doing we also sympathize with the Campaign for the Defense of Life, which began on Feb. 7 with a hunger strike by Salazar Reyes family, with Citizen Plural Front the purpose of requiring the immediate presentation of Mary Magdalene alive Reyes Salazar, Elias Reyes Salazar and his wife Luisa Ornelas Soto. Together with them we demand the clarification of the murder of human rights activist Josefina Reyes Salazar, Ruben Reyes Salazar, Julio Cesar Reyes Reyes. This courageous family has seen it all downloaded from the terror of violence that public security organs of state observed nothing and did nothing to stop it ... just as they did in Acteal on 22 December 1997.

With all these brothers and sisters we are united in grief, we share the blood and the curse of impunity. But we also joined the fight and not give up, we share the hope and faith we have that nonviolence is more powerful than violence.

Some may think that what is happening today in Chihuahua and throughout Mexico is very different from what happened in Acteal and Chiapas ago more than 10 years. Before it was a counterinsurgency war, is said against "offenders" are now being told that it is a war against organized crime. Well, now tells us that there is war, though there are more deaths than in countries where there is war itself. But we no longer believe in what we are told, but what we see and what we see is that:

1. The same to solve the problem of Chiapas that to solve the problem of organized crime seems the government has no idea that recourse to arms. In fact, the powerful, politicians and rulers, they can only resort to violence to protect his ambition, his plan of plunder and theft from the heritage of our nation.

2. The government now says the army is to defend the people ... The same is said in the IDP camps in Chenalhó when militarized our town after the slaughter of Acteal to impose its counterinsurgency.

3. What makes growing violence is impunity. Thus we have seen in Chiapas and so is being in Chihuahua and in many other places where the government takes to the streets to the army, supposedly to ensure the law.

4. In all cases, in Chiapas, Chihuahua and the rest of the country, the people are suffering and that puts the dead, not rulers. We have just seen how Felipe Calderon came to Chiapas to promote tourism and to visit the tomb of Samuel Jtotik (maybe he thought he was a tourist attraction) escorted by many soldiers that people thought he had broken a new war in Chiapas.

seems that the counterinsurgency war against the struggle of indigenous peoples in Chiapas, is over but it is not. Such is the breakdown and violence in our country through corrupt and criminal government that is no longer so much talk about what is happening here. The government is very crafty, his strategy is to see that as nothing happens. But we reiterate and reaffirm that the war in Chiapas continues. The insurgency continues with its two faces in the background are the same: the bread and stick. The stick, or outright repression, we see against our fellow brothers and sisters and San Sebastian Mitzitón Bachajón defending their land, Land and Natural Resources, are harassed by paramilitaries protected by the bad government of Juan Sabines Guerrero.

Bread crumbs or government programs to buy consciences, we see with our own brothers Chenalhó which sadly have been misled by the government and no longer used for evil to run its government policy to divide independent organizations and to mislead the public. In the first half of February at least two times were published in newspapers in Chiapas (which have no ethics and publish only what the government tells them) news that say "Bees" met with the authorities to receive their support, once with the Sanitary District of San Cristobal and the other with the mayor of Chenalho.

organized civil society in fighting is to inform you that in the year 2008 a group of our comrades were separated from our Organization Bees, to search for the "development" as he is known to support the government. But as I reported at the right time, that this group is no longer with the Bees and said that at no time can now speak on behalf of the Organization of Bees. But this division is part of the counterinsurgency war and what is bad government seeks to silence the voice of justice and trample upon the slaughter of Acteal

For you to clearly understand how far the cynicism and lies government and to what our brothers be manipulated, we will cite the words of Mr. Martin Cruz Aguilar Chenalhó PRI president who declared

"Our governor has been the clear example of good government that works for all without distinction of social class, political or religious belief ... reuniting the various sectors and political groups for some time deviated from the constitutional life, The Bees ... "(Journal of Chiapas, La Voz South East, 14/02/1911).

mean that bees always refused to take up arms, which were stripped of their belongings, displaced and massacred, and that after it refused to revenge and always sought justice through legal channels, were according to the president of Chenalho, "outside the constitutional order." In contrast, the PRI, the party of Mr Martin Cruz who armed, trained and paramilitaries is protected with the governor (who says he is the PRD but in the time it was the slaughter of Acteal was the PRI), the defender of the "constitutional order" and the benefactor, and reuniting of our municipality. No wonder the word of God says: do not be like those who govern the nations: first exploit them as the owners of all and then still call themselves benefactors!

But why do not we put our trust not in arms, nor rulers, nor in its support. But we, our strength is the truth, our weapons are wisdom and fasting and prayer. Our strength is in our roots: the Mayan traditions and the word of God.

why us have decided to act to stop the inferno, and the twins Hunahpu and the Popol Vuh Ixbalanque when they saw so much injustice and impunity that existed at the death of his parents murdered by the lords of Xibalba decided to go down to the underworld to the ball game against the Masters of Hell. Despite many tests, traps and treachery towards the twins were able, thanks to his wisdom and humility, ending with the lords of Xibalba, and so gave birth to justice.

And our fast start read these words of the Gospel: "This kind of hell does not go more than a power of fasting and prayer" (Mark 9, 29). And this kind of demons believe that refers to the demons of violence, impunity, lies and injustice that now run rampant in Mexico, leaving everywhere pain and despair.

These demons can be defeated, as the word of God, by fasting and prayer. But we also know enough not to pray, you have to take action. Today we tell the world that we and us the Civil Society Organization "Bees," Yes! We enter into action to put an end to this hell. Why do understand what pain. We must continue to awaken consciences, overcoming fears, building networks. We must speak out, demand and pressure the government.

Our peaceful action and non-violent is to ask Father-Mother God give us wisdom and that it moves us all Mexicans. If today we end our day of fasting and prayer for our brothers and sisters in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, not just today as we have said, this will continue in each of our member communities of the Bees, as if death does not rest , does not sleep, nor must rest who are for life.

From the Holy Land that has been watered with the blood of our brothers we raise our voice with the following messages:

1. All Mexicans are not quiet and they are fighting violence wants to drown in blood and in silence, we say that solidarity is looming in the north to the south of our country, that the peace initiatives although they seem small now are like the seed that will grow to bear fruit.

2. We send a special greeting to the brave Reyes Salazar family, we say they are not alone, hundreds of bees have fasted two days with you in Acteal or in their own communities who could not come, they say that just as the slaughter and terror have not silenced the voice of the Bees, the voice of Joseph and his family will not be silent, is heard to the mountains of Chiapas and their cry for justice rises to the sky.

3. As part of our action against war and for life, we join the demand and requirement of freedom of the 10 co-Bachajon including a minor and a mentally disabled teammate arrested last February 2 to defend their right to land, territories and natural resources.

4. A bad government of Felipe Calderón and Juan Sabines, we say that even put their trust in their cars War and its support and counterinsurgency programs, without the real support of the people are nothing. The truth and justice shine in the long run and all its violence and lies will be exposed.

NOT IN OUR NAME THE WAR ON FELIPE CALDERON USELESS!
NO MORE KILLED IN MEXICO AS OF AND Salvarcar ACTEAL!
PUNISHMENT Mitziton paramilitaries!
IMMEDIATE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE THE COMPANIONS OF THE OTHER CAMPAIGN IN SAN SEBASTIAN, BACHAJON!

Sincerely
Voice of Civil Society Organization "Bees"

Raquel Darrian On Fire

Minutes: Josh Rouse - 'Camping in Copenhagen "(2000)


I do not ever stop buying records, but the persistence of new technologies and digital fervor at contagiándote just as much as you are old school and you insist on romanticizing the idea of \u200b\u200bdiscovering music as you used to do just five years. Recordable cds, without going any further, I have never seemed more pointless. A nice craft activity that I'm on the road because of this is to create collections of rarities and B sides, a process that ran from the location on the high quality of all types of hidden recording of an artist, the chronological ordering of However, recording cd-r, covers and booklets and glossy printing in the print shop. As spontaneous gift for friends was something special and very resultón, since few people I've met who has the devotion and patience to track rarities that way as much as you like someone's music. Preparing

one of those compilations with the recipient, will be more than three years, I discovered this little song Josh Rouse. I say small because it is a model that yielded in 2000 the compilation that often accompanies the publication numbers Comes With a Smile ( Vol 2 - Boxes In The Hall ) a topic that released two years later on the disc Under Cold Blue Stars (entitled here 'Summer Kitchen Ballad "). Small because it is a bullet endearing voice and harmonium; small because it is reminiscent of a cool summer evening in an open space but remains intimate and simple. Are only four verses that vaguely describe as many sequences, surmounted by the verse "The world is gray and the assertion that gives meaning to the title 'Camping in Copenhagen' : "The old van is tired and going slow / no strip" . Seems resigned to spend the night under the stars because of that break that prevents you from getting home or other place as planned, and it is as if loneliness and boredom he remembered little tense situations lived with someone: "I sat in the kitchen with a cigarette for asthma / in the window, a bit repentant / (...) Below the dam, to take a bath / I took off my shirt but you do not wanted to get inside ". In fact, the details are sketchy enough left open to various interpretations: Are they memories or is that someone comes and something happens that night? Is he all the verses of the same person?

Of the fifteen songs that I assembled for this album given, 'Camping in Copenhagen' was the only one I liked so suddenly, and therefore the situation in the first place, its stillness was a perfect introduction. Tomorrow I go just to Copenhagen. I do not go camping or living hope none of the scenes described by Rouse, but ascending and descending notes of this song hover over me a couple of days, and all began by something as dumb as the fact that the city name is written in the title. Harmonium notes that will surely give a melancholy aftertaste to round trip by plane. Or back.


'Camping in Copenhagen' appeared on the compilation Comes With a Smile Vol 2 - Boxes In The Hall , published in autumn 2000, and thereafter The Best of the Years Rykodisk , retrospective of the work of Josh Rouse published in 2008.

What Doew The Hymen Look Like

imperdibles: PJ Harvey -" Is This Desire? "(1998)

remember when a TV show makes a time asking the people interviewed who told a picture of silence to say goodbye to viewers. For me the desire to be a beautiful picture moves. A inner turmoil but with the volume to zero. Breathing in the dark someone who has not been asleep, the gentle rise and fall of his chest under a sheet seen through a thick glass. The configuration of the meaning of "desire" that has wrought in my subconscious over the years has pinch of impatience and anxiety, fantasy and secrecy, trust and torment. Have contributed to this view the letter in question that titles this record PJ Harvey: "Is this desire?" . That question asked yourself, denotes a shocking confusion. Not wanting to name just unknown sensations, is also surprising that the exciting part of the desire to have a back so unbearable and annoying. In this work, these secrets have a voice, a gruff voice and locked.

Exhausted after turning the exultant To Bring You My Love (1995) for nearly a year and devastated by the end of a passionate affair with Nick Cave, PJ Harvey came to assess the possibility of abandon her music career indefinitely, without reaching an early version of this work in 1997 engaged in a delicate emotional state. When was strengthened and picked up the thread of what had begun did not know that would shape which, in retrospect, is perhaps his most courageous: the expectation to see where it would lead after signing one of the disks rated by critics and audiences of 1995 did not exert any influence over it, making Is This Desire? the trip in black and white it should be, without a trace of carmine of his predecessor and more uncomfortable than on Rid of Me (1993) even without making a noise half.

disembodied tension of lust about to materialize in physical contact is contained in the part owner, but are rather the consequences of having the weight of the argument of the album. The hardness of this paper is the solitary nature of his narrative, a self-imposed isolation imposed on first and later: the aftermath of that swelling wistful when the situation changes, when communication with one who still wants is unworkable and there is a hard magnetic closure avoided. By creating characters with names and distinguishing features, no matter if they speak in first person or is she who explains in the third-organizes emotions and split with the hint of the sharp slope of the interior, perhaps a way to refuse the terrible certainty that such sentiments were his. His courage is even greater on an approach uncompromised sonic beauty per se : most of the songs feature vocal snippets and footage of the original models which Harvey recorded at home on his four track and maintain all types of impurities, from the hiss of the tape to trembling voice prompt, and uses minimalist electronics and distorted bass and full of dirt, as a tool to match the turbidity of musical emotions.

At the beginning of the disc shows the situation in 'Angelene' half time that speaks through the mouth of a girl who comes to any man but the soul has stolen the one that she can not reach. The context of the album from there is coarse and the grain of the photograph, thickness: the drum machine and keyboard bass line to stun on 'My Beautiful Leah "as headache and exhaustion that strikes after a long sigh , an appropriate setting for the story of a depressed girl who has disappeared ("Have you seen, sir? / black hair, brown eyes / (...) I never leave the last words he said: / 'If you can not find this instead, I'll be better off dead '"). The same skeleton works in other songs: on the schematic buzz 'Electric Light' two sentences for short enough that fascination secret by someone who removed the spirit ( "Her beauty electric light always starts the heart ) and the conversation between bass and vocals on the brisk pace of" A Perfect Day Elise 'hides a story of romance possessive ending in black.

portraits are given to rural women who spend years and remain alone (Catherine shrouded in mystery in 'The Wind': "Once was a woman from the city / but now sits and whines / ( ...) I see it in his chapel at the top of the hill / You must be so lonely "; Joy \u200b\u200bsurrounded by industrial extremism its title track: "Every single life / after thirty years and had never danced a step / It would have been in these mountains long ago if not for his condition" ) and poetic images such as 'The River' or 'The Garden', both underpinned by beautiful piano riffs. Gets more interesting when the feelings are of euphoria ("The Sky Lit Up 'exploding with percussion at the end: " I do not care what you think he / Take the car, take me hand / The sky lit up ") , despite devilish (exposure violent 'No Girl So Sweet' is the most intense Is This Desire? ) or recited in a voice that jealousy poisoned and choked in the cold 'Catherine' ( "I envy the wind, your hair riding / envy the pillow your head rests on it and dream / I envy your lover with a murderous envy / Until the light shine on me, curse every second you breathe "). Faded

embers of desire, his ashes blown by the breeze, is just reborn.

Ideas For Husbands 35 Birthday

On the shortcut: Undershakers - "Sola" (1997)

Last year, the Primavera Sound Festival organizers proposed to the standard of your forum -with a view to publishing in 2011 - began to suggest names of groups that would like to see in a hypothetical scenario that they would decide the schedule. While the idea subsequently failed to materialize according to those exact coordinates (no scenario forero ), the organization did everything possible to ensure that they were present most of the proposals that had received the most votes. Among them appeared a shy, curious to see Nosoträsh-disk not published since 2005 - playing in full what is considered his most personal work and achieved, Popemas (2002). Might seem somewhat random in times do not look back we are living, but the fact is that the idea stalled and eventually materialized in May at the Forum.

generational Companions at the time in which they arose, fellow Asturian, were Undershakers . Review this ep they published in 1997, I roamed the mind this morning when I wake up, and I found it inevitable to get into the festival forum and read what someone said in the thread Nosoträsh: "For another year we ask the Undershakers" , silly coincidence to me very funny indeed. The fact is that the group that made the sisters Mar (guitar, vocals) and Alicia Alvarez (bass, vocals), Sandra Bacon (vocals), Cristina Gutiérrez (drums) and Lara Gonzalez ( keyboard) may not reach the style debugging today it is claimed his comrades as perpetrators of one of the key jobs of pop English for the past decade, but it is also true that there was no time: by the time they separated in 2000 and had given priority to the songs in Castilian, and momentum was turning garagero slowly and with good lyrics in pop immediacy and we'll never know how much further might have arrived. Mar y Alicia, major composers as well, patching followed thereafter subtleties in his excellent project Pauline at the Beach, which is that the end of the Undershakers institution was its unabashed and shameless (I still remember his concert Current festival in Logroño in 1998 I recorded on cassette tape: fun and, as Sandra said when they played the oversensitive 'A Friend' as a guitar tuned, "mariconas the just" ).

Sola presents them in what I personally think its best: great progress in the field of composition and production on his debut (very bad time has passed for the sound level Nightshow ) and, simultaneously, displaying a rawness that was darkened with cosmetics on her second album, Voodoo , published in 1998. Here begins to glimpse the perfect pop hook married to his taste for the garage, and is the premiere writing in our language: one of his best decisions. The two original songs in Castilian are proof of the perfidy and sarcasm so natural that made them so special: the speech and comic self 'Sola' may well be the best example we found in his discography that, and the euphoria of ' Upside-Down '( "Painting black on the floor and then walk him / Becoming partly up the wall / and your heart beats fast and perhaps on the contrary" ) is so short and funny that causes the need for a second immediate listening. Complete half of the ep in Castilian version of ye-ye 'A Tu Vera', which had already contributed to the disc English Film Songs (1986-1996) . Besides, a review of a Shocking Blue classic feel to them like a glove and used to be favorite at their concerts ("Send Me a Postcard '; Sandra vocal display, what walk by now?) Taps and scrolls dark psychedelic 'Big Dog' (one of those pieces uncovering sexual mockingly from time to time) and another of his songs to remember, 'Reflections', tense and anxious in a sad but firm.

Perhaps no one would take seriously someone who says that misses Undershakers, perhaps few people consider their jobs as momentous to claim the need for a do not look back because of its ease and fun character who had said before, it identifies a lot with this idea . But the playful (and do not want to reduce it, if I explain it) is just as important in our lives. With the memories I have of them, I do: I miss seeing the girls together.

Sacramento Cruise Spots

Minutes: Smog - 'I Break Horses (Peel Session Version) "(1997)



What happens to me with female voices since childhood fascination of looking for deer, has always been so natural that I just started thinking about whether it would be weird when I'm stressed someone, or mocked (if women you admire most ladybird), or when confirming the names of the lineup of a festival and I found myself disappointed because there were groups of girls only; stuff. Of course I do not like all its kind and certainly is not synonymous with talent. But for every male voice that I like, have to like a woman fifteen, I greatly attracts the sensitivity of work. Having said this and in return, when I tempted by the voice of a man, it really makes . I like the voices are often serious and profound, even by the warmth that I can feel them when sail calm waters, or the implicit taxation exciting when they get the tone, or simply because it is the kind of voice that I would have. voices like Bill Callahan , the man behind Smog .

Reading a book about Chan Marshall, who had a relationship with him in the late nineties, I was surprised to see how the author introduced Callahan saying that his lyrics had been denounced as misogynistic, focusing on the topic of dark, tortured soul, a bit misleading I think the result of a manipulated interpretation of their (usually) Fates words in songs, a common interpretation when a man which describes their feelings honestly and coldness of desire, detachment, or repulsed by a woman. If the opposite occurs, they are usually welcomed jaleadas and have not openly revolt.

In that sense, 'I Break Horses' must be highly controversial in the feminist fronts care, for in it the author has no shame to be in the skin of a man who makes clear his lack of interest in having a serious relationship with her lover, the kind of performance that is usually judged as brash and inconsiderate, when in fact the most honorable thing you can do for that person, point out their intentions not just a selfish act that defines his freedom while he disclaims any responsibility on the road to follow the feelings of the other party, but that that should serve to know what to expect and do not see beyond.

beautiful images ( "rode to the ocean / and the water looked like tarnished gold / rode on a horse broken" ) Do not distract from the directness of the message: "I break horses, do not care for them / come to me, it seems / asking me to break / (...) It cost me a lot / a few words in the right place / and itinerant hearts are not ". Becomes even more explicit about sexual exchange and the subsequent burden: "At first I liked the warmth between my legs / (...) but soon became an itch in a scraped in a deep cut / (...) Today I'm swimming to my favorite island, and I do not see you swimming behind ".


"A song like 'I Break Horses" is often misunderstood. I wrote to help a friend to understand that a guy who had spent a night might not return calls the next day or ever. (...) That was the impetus.
The roots of the song are good. "
(Bill Callahan, Pitchfork 02/07/2007)

a piece originally recorded intimate acoustic ep Kicking a Couple Around (1996), to 'I Break Horses' he breathed new life into the session recorded for John Peel Smog in October 1997, a wise decision. This is a reading that turns slowly matured from the scratching of tissue paper with which Callahan introduces the first section until the rise of intensity that causes the entry of other instruments at the height of the chorus (the piano has a fundamental role to sustain the emotion) and extending to the end on the same two chords.



'I Break Horses (Peel Session Version)' appeared in the ep
Cold Blooded Old Times , published in 1999
