Where Is That Noise Coming From?

Millennial girls and women have grown up with the sentiment that independence is one of the most important qualities for a modern woman to possess and that we should never, ever let our happiness depend on a boy. While those are certainly important tenets to try to live in accordance to, it can be hard to reconcile that with our needs as humans who have the basic desire to be liked and cared for. What results is the tug-of-war between finding healthy companionship and maintaining your own self-sufficiency that comes to define late-youth. Katie Crutchfield, the woman behind Waxahatchee, is now 26 years old—a good age to begin the inevitable power cleanse of the toxic relationships in your life. Her third album Ivy Tripp documents this transitional period with even more of the self-awareness and wisdom that characterised her previous work.

There is subtle sunniness to the album suggesting that whatever was burdening Crutchfield during the making of her last two albums has dissipated, most likely through her own will. While, as a whole, Ivy Tripp stays on brand for Waxahatchee, there are a few pop tracks sprinkled throughout that prove Crutchfield is growing sonically as well. Crutchfield’s fingerprints are all over the album and the delicate lo-fi quality harkens back to her debut album of bedroom recordings, 2012′s American Weekend, making the maturation of her lyrics even more apparent.

Even with some of the quieter songs, Ivy Tripp is never boring. However, the standout is, without a doubt, its first single “Under A Rock”. The pop-rock track is Crutchfield’s rallying cry against dudes in whom she’s become maybe too emotionally invested, flippantly singing “Now you’re someone else’s mess tonight”. Later on in the album, in the hazy “<”, she croons “You’re less than me; I am nothing”, articulating the simultaneous self-deprecation and self-assuredness of a 20-something fumbling around with their newfound adulthood.

Ivy Tripp is the light at the end of early adulthood. While it is melancholic, there is a sense of contentment overshadowing that, or at least making it a little more palatable. Listening to it in one sitting feels like going to the beach on a rainy day at the beginning of spring; everything is damp and the air still feels vaguely bitter, but at least you’re finally outside.

La Pregunta Existencial

-      Que usted piensa… Existo o no existo?

-      Por que la pregunta?

-      BUENO, SI PIENSO, LUEGO EXISTO, VERDAD? Siendo Descartes; es decir, no tengo que tener un atributo que otros me otorgan para existir. No va de acuerdo?

-      No entiendo!

-      Si!, a lo que me refiero es que mi existencia no esta condicionada a lo que usted pueda pensar de mi, porque aunque pensara de mi, de manera diferente, y digamos que pudiera en algun momento ocultarme tras bambalinas, aun con ello, yo existo!

Me sigue?

-      Correcto!

-      Entonces la existencia no esta condicionada a otros, sino la existencia viene de la presencia, de ser o no ser, esa es la cuestion! Yo existo porque soy lo que soy como soy porque soy como soy, es decir, soy real, palpable, tengo una voz, expreso lo que pienso, no utilizo geroglificos ni dibujos ni imagenes porque tengo una presencia real, no soy fake, yo soy yo.

-      Oiga y yo existo si tengo una audiencia?

-      Que usted piensa?

-      Existo porque me hacen, o existo porque soy? Dependeria mi valor, del valor que otros me den o del valor que yo mismo me otorgo porque soy? Es decir, yo tengo una expression, yo tengo una serie de trabajos que hablan de mi y lo que soy, entonces existo.

Y la verdad de las cosas es que no hace un trabajo por el reconocimiento de las gentes, lo hace pork le gusta hacer lo que hace, le gusta perfeccionar lo que hace, los retos son con uno mismo y no contra otros, y en ello encuentra gusto y gozo.

Usrted dejaria de hacer algo que le agrada por circunstancias ajenas a usted?

Dejaria de ser maestro porque no tiene ninos?

Dejaria de ser doctor porque no tiene pacientes?

Dejaria de ser mecanico porque no existe carro que arreglar?

Que ustred piensa?

Elimina el sexo de la relación, y verás que hay personas que no tienen nada más que ofrecer.

The Walking Dead

Who is the Walking Dead?

  The Walking Dead is a TV horror drama developed by Fran Darabont. The original series came for a comic book series of the same name. It started in Oct 31, 2010, on the cable channel AMC in the USA and right now it is is in its fourth season.

  It is simply the best in it own genre. The Walking Dead is original, has its own brand and perfectly differentiate from other genres in TV. There is no other TV drama that could capture 16.1 million viewers for its fourth season premiere to become the most watched drama series telecast in basic cable history.

  What Does The Walking Dead do?  The Walking Dead entertains people by presenting a TV show in which two kind of human beings are in constant battle and their skills, either in one side or the other, are really important to make the human race survive: The dead and alive. Who is going to win? On one hand, the vast majority of dead people whose purpose is to eat and transform humans into walking dead. On the other hand, the humans alive will need to use their thinking skills to survive the dead crowd with no loss. A battle between intelligence in alive people vs majority in dead people… who is going to win?

  Why Does it matter?  AMC’s passion is the entertainment business and this company realizes that being in the top is to create a TV show with wonderful settings and plots where the story gets our attention. This is the reason AMC initially invested 3.5 million per episode to add extras, special effects and filming outdoors which is more expressive than in a indoor studio.

 The Walking Dead matters because is a unique TV story. It is interesting by selecting a theme never brought to the TV sets. It is also thrilling when the walking dead or the crowd move with all those special effects and amazing make up to get a human alive.

 It matters because at the end, the only purpose of every creation and product is to get the attention of public to get our mission accomplished.
