Pereza by Javier Chico


Ruben Pozo and Jose Miguel Conejo also known as Ruben and Leiva they are a a Spanish pop/rock band, they have recorded already five CDs. In the have got other CD where we can find their best songs and one where we can find some new songs. Since 2001 they have done five CDs called: Pereza(2001), Algo para cantar(2003), Animales(2005), Barcelona(2006) and Aproximaciones in (2007). My favourite song is Princess and Todo too. These two songs are of third Cds. They believe that this last CD is the best that they have done because they sing in their songs like they see the life. They have worked with singer how Amaral or Ivan Ferreiro. I think that they are a great band.

Music by Alejandro Fernández

Hello, my name is Alejandro, I have 16 years and I’m going to talk about the music I hear. I like almost all styles of music, I hear a little of everything. The kind of music that I do not like the music is heavy.


I’ve been to some concerts like pignoise, El canto del loco, tow… the hip hop and rap styles of music that are not usually heard, some people say it’s a kind of violent music, buy if you look, many of the lyrics are poetry.



Opinion about...

MODERN AND CLASSICAL MUSIC

At the present, there are many types of music and some are really good but also, there are really bad music but classiscal music was and is a beautifull type of music. This music was composed by people with great talent, for example, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach... but now, everybody con sing and play an instrument without requiriments and talent, for example Paris Hilton and Rodolfo Chikilicuatre.
I think it is because the classical music was the only mode of entertainment, and now, the music isn´t very important. Before, The vocalist had very nice voices and instruments were very varied. Now, some vocalists sing very bad and some with shouts... and the instruments do not like to listen to. I think that more people must listen to more classical music because it is very beautifull and also, helps us to exercise brain and help us with concentration

Beyoncé Knowles


My favourite singer is Beyoncé Knowles because she is an interesting woman and a great singer. Her style is R&B music,it´s beautiful ! She has got a lot of prizes , some albums and a lot of videoclips, she dances very good in er videoclips, and she also wears beautiful clothes. Her music is very energetic!!! If you listen to one of her songs you inmedately start to dance! My favourite albums are ´´B´Day`` and ´´I am.. Sasha Fierce`` and my favourite song is ´´Single Ladies`` one of her beautiful songs. I want to go to her concert in March in Madrid! I love Beyoncé !!!

MY FAVORITE TYPE OF MUSIC by Nestor Villajos


Soziedad Alkoholika (S.A.) is a band of rock born in Vitoria, his style of music was like thrash metal or hardcore punk, but later his punk went to a heavier sound. The group is composed for Juan, Jimmy, Javi, Pirulo y Roberto. They criticize the militarism, the fascism, the racism, the sexism and others things like these. They have 11 discs and they have played a lot of concerts. The band had problems whit AVT(asociación de víctimas del terrorismo), AVT censured some concerts and songs, AVT presented denunciation for exaltation of terrorism, but all was a mistake, AVT interpreted the letter bad. And they have absolved of the crime of exaltation of the terrorism.

I love this music, it has good tune and is lively and hard. Also Jimmy and Javi play the guitars very good, I like this sound.

In their songs they tell the reality as it is, but they have time to do the crazy in some songs. I like all the songs, but I like specially songs as ‘’Peces mutantes’’(‘’directo’’) and ‘’Feliz falsedad’’(‘’Feliz Falsedad’’), the letter of these two songs are later on:

‘’PECES MUTANTES’’

Pero mira como beben los peces en el río,
Pero mira como beben los peces en el río,
beben y beben y vuelven a beber,
los peces en el río, no tienen más que hacer.
Los peces de mi barrio tienen muy mala cara,
me miran muy raro, no se que les pasa,
esto que te comento, es cierto, no es broma
desde que les conozco no son la misma cosa,

no son los de antes !!

Antes bebían agua cristalina,
ahora beben mierda, cagada y orina,
se les podía ver por el agua nadando,
ahora se les ve más, tripa arriba flotando,

a los que sobreviven les crecen los dientes,
se están convirtiendo en peligrosos rebeldes
se están poniendo amorfos, se vuelven deformes,
de tanto vertedero y residuos enormes.

¡Ya están aquí! ¡Peces mutantes!, ¡Ya están akí!

Industrial carroñero ¡Prepárate!
Sucio politiquero ¡Prepárate!
Tú, puto domingero ¡Prepárate!

¡El río no es un vertedero!
¡El mar no es un vertedero!

Pero mira como beben los peces en el río,
beben y beben y vuelven a beber,
Y ahora para variar también quieren comer.


MY FAVORITE TYPE OF MUSIC by Javier Solera


MY FAVORITE TYPE OF MUSIC

My favorite types of music are the Metal, Rock and Ska music. But my favorite is the Metal music. It has a lot of types of Metal music for example:

Heavy Metal, Hard Metal, Power Metal, Growl Metal, Hard rock and more…

I like the metal music because is energetic, rhythmic, exciting and beautiful and the unique music with musical instruments but no with computers as bakala or techno I HATE IT!!

I like SARATOGA, MÄGO DE OZ, SKA-P, MAREA, RATA BLANCA, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, DISTURBED, FALL OUT BOY, MASTODON, DRAGONFORCE, STATIC-X and GUNS ‘N’ ROSES they are the best!

Now I listen city of evil, is a disc of avenged sevenfold and my favorite song is blinded in chains, I love it. I heard this song in the game need for speed most wanted (also is my favorite game of cars) and downloaded all discography of this group of heavy metal music.

I want to learn to play the electric guitar because is exciting and I believe what it was easy because I learned music in the school.

Lyric of blinded in chains: by Avenged Sevenfold

And we're at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man

I don't know where to begin, but I'll start with the radical leaders

Their steps we're followin'

Running, don't go back and fight, too many you'll lose

(And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood between the red and white and blue but it's too deep for you to see and

Everyone eventually will take the step cause it's in sight you take the left I'll take the right I fell the hate you've built

For me and I say pay attention baby)

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see

Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease

But it wasn't a sin, a sorry life in judging every action

And as they're feeding your mind with this shit you forgot

How to speak how to ask all the questions

The business at hand tonight, make the people choose

(I see another side in you but there's not much more I can do from on the outside looking in your government is listenin' to

Push you on the story of immortal father mortal son give them your mind and all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself)

If they had it their way I'd burn in Hell and your future's a fuckin' disaster can't you see

Don't give them all the power when your future's in desperate trouble baby

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see

Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease

I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact you gotta make it alright

Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to (run)

Running away from condition, I see you but you're running away from

Your scared seductive system

Most would claim I live a lie when pointing out it's easy to predict these things

Every color has its side, they live together vote and most won't read between these lines

Please help us, please save us of coarse they have control we're all the same

Up on the cross, crucified their problem drove the nail and let Him rot

Family and friends, it won't matter in the end I'm sure they'll understand

Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed

As I sit up here and wonder 'bout how you sold your mind, body and soul

Looking at the fields so green I know this sounds obscene

I see you're living for tomorrow but decisions you have made will leave you empty

You've fallen asleep in denial

Look at the way we're dyin'

How it ends I'll never know

Just live your life blind like me
