RADIOHEAD, COMO SI FUERA LA PRIMERA VEZ: REVISTA MARVIN DE MARZO


RADIOHEAD, COMO SI FUERA LA PRIMERA VEZ: REVISTA MARVIN DE MARZO

Como si fuera la primera vez, o como lo diría la Madonna de los ochentas: “Like a virgin…”, y es que así nos sentimos miles de los fans que tuvimos la oportunidad de estar en alguno de los dos conciertos (o incluso los dos) que RADIOHEAD ofreciera en México, es decir, como si fuera la primera vez que asistiéramos a un concierto, y como si fuera la primera vez que vinieran a México.

Y así creo que fue para ellos también, al menos con lo que respecta al segundo punto, pues según la mayoría de los reportes de prensa, el quinteto inglés se sintió sumamente feliz y cómodo con su segunda visita “oficial” a estas tierras, lo cual prácticamente los llevó a olvidar su accidentado primer viaje de trabajo, el cual hoy en día ha adquirido la categoría de “leyenda” a raíz de la serie de anécdotas y crónicas bizarras que circulan alrededor de aquella primera serie de conciertos realizados en México.

Si bien no se puede hacer a un lado la existencia de la primera visita de Radiohead a México, pues como ya lo dije, ha adquirido una relevancia histórica para todos los que somos amantes de la música y fieles seguidores del grupo británico, lo cierto es que los dos conciertos que ofrecieron ahora, vienen a constituir para todos sus fans mexicanos la realización de un sueño largamente añorado, un deseo que parecía prácticamente difícil de materializar: ver a Radiohead en un escenario mexicano, y ya por eso, estos dos ameritan ser considerados aun más relevantes.

Con motivo de esos conciertos, la siempre esplendida -bueno, casi siempre- revista Marvin nos trae una excelente edición relacionada con esta última visita de Radiohead a México, ofreciéndonos una vez más, una muy buena portada alusiva al fantástico espectáculo de luz con el que la banda nos deleitó; por supuesto les recomiendo muchísimo adquirirla, no se van arrepentir, es un artículo que definitivamente debe formar parte de su memoriabilia de esta segunda visita, que dentro de los varios detalles que se pueden resaltar de la edición, se encuentra una crónica bastante llamativa de la gira que la banda realizara en 1994 por varias ciudades de la republica, algo digno de leer; así que, si aún la compran, háganlo lo más pronto posible porque de plano ya casi no hay; más a pesar de que hace bastantes semanas que salió a la venta, si en verdad les interesas y la buscan con cuidado, creo que podrán encontrar algún ejemplar.

Ya para concluir esta primera crónica dedicada a los dos conciertos en cuestión, sin temor a exagerar, debo apuntar algo: creo que de todas las glorias que el Foro Sol ha albergado, la que Radiohead nos hizo vivir a todos los dichosos que pudimos verlos –ya fuera la noche del 15 y/o 16 de marzo del presente año-, amerita la colocación de una placa donde se haga constar lo ahi ocurrido para así tenerlo presente en los años venideros, y no olvidarlo tan fácilmente, para tener un recuerdo palpable y certero de lo acontecido aquellas dos noches, para si en dado caso la banda vuelve a martirizarnos con su ausencia otros quince años, no dejar de lado que Radiohead ya había venido a nuestro país; aunque, a decir verdad, no me importaría volverme sentir como si fuera la primera vez.

MUJERES AL BORDE DE UN ATAQUE DE…

MUJERES AL BORDE DE UN ATAQUE DE…
Desde pequeño siempre he tenido más amigas que amigos, la razón la desconozco, pero lo que cierto es que me fascina estar rodeado de mujeres, me gusta platicar con ellas, escucharlas, entenderlas (aunque con el paso del tiempo he descubierto que eso es imposible), confabular con ellas, ayudarlas, ver como destruyen a otras féminas (un espectáculo atractivo, aunque en ocasiones cruel), admirarlas, en fin, me gusta su manera de pensar, de amar, de odiar (temo cuando hacen eso, pero me encanta), e incluso de estar despechadas… creo que ya encontré la respuesta del por qué tengo más amigas que amigos.

No me malentiendan, nunca he querido ser mujer, a pesar de todos los defectos de que estamos cargados los hombres, yo adoro ser hombre y todo lo que ello conlleva, sobretodo amo no tener menstruación, sí, sé que suena fuerte, pero es cierto; hasta este día no he conocido a una sola chica que sea feliz por tener su “periodo”, pero de momento no escribiré más de ello.

Cuando estoy con mis amigas, un tema recurrente es el relacionado con el amor, e inevitablemente aparejado a él está el tema del despecho y el desamor; estar despechado es algo complejo, por un lado esta el dolor y la tristeza que implica terminar una relación, por el otro, está el coraje y la furia que se pude sentir hacia aquella persona que fue tu pareja e incuestionablemente provocó esa desolación; sin embargo, por más raro que pueda parecer, el despecho tiene un lado atractivo, un cara erótica y sensual tan adictiva que nos hace gozar el sentirnos así, y es que el estar despechado implica haber amado, haber gozado, y haber disfrutado de caricias, besos y pasión, el despecho es el sentimiento que llena la ausencia de todos estos “placeres” perdidos, llega para suprimir el vacío que queda al no estar mas con la persona amada.

Sin animo de ser sexista, no hay nada más temible que una mujer despechada, y eso no sólo lo digo yo, es algo que conoce todo el mundo; una mujer despechada puede convertirse en un ser malvado, vengativo y agresivo, pero también en un ser creativo; una mujer despechada, que además es inteligente, no vuelca su furia y su dolor en viles artimañas para destruir a la otra persona, no, una chica inteligente cobra venganza cuando le demuestra al mundo que ella está por encima del “estupido” que se atrevió a dejarla, y qué mejor forma de superar el despecho que volcando todo ese sentimiento en la construcción de una obra que se pueda compartir con los demás, ya sea un poema, una pintura, o una canción, vaya, cualquier cosa que hable de esa relación fallida, que aborde el punto de vista de la afectada, y que extirpe de su corazón todo sentimiento negativo, limpie su alma, cicatrice sus heridas, y la deje lista para nuevamente volverse a enamorar.

Llámenme masoquista, pero yo prefiero las canciones de despecho y desamor, que las del agradable sentimiento de sentirse amado, especialmente si han sido escritas por chicas, pues como ya lo dije, no hay ser mas creativo que una mujer dolida; algunas noches mis amigas y yo solemos platicar del amor, e ineludiblemente concluimos la velada hablando del desamor, el despecho y el dolor, y casi siempre, mientas lo hacemos, dejo que como fondo musical suene alguna rola compuesta por una chica, que hable sobre esos sentimientos, y al final, irremediablemente terminamos cantado la canción, pues al hacerlo casi siempre logramos sentimos mejor.

Incontables son las rolas que existen sobre el tema, pero no todas ellas ameritan ser escuchadas, y tampoco por el hecho de abordar el mismo tópico, todas lo hacen con la misma intensidad o desde el mismo punto de vista; por ejemplo, están las rolas que se abocan a destrozar el “exnovio”, son agresivas, fuertes y quizás hasta violentas, estas rolas nos cuentan todos los defectos del tipo, que si es impotente, mujeriego, borracho y parrandero, vago, desobligado, machista, y un sinfín más de monerías que no tiene otro empeño que ridiculizarlo, destrozarlo y borrarlo del corazón para así por fin olvidarlo; existen las que abordan el tema de una forma más reflexiva, que permiten cuestionar el por qué ha surgido el desamor, el por qué de pronto todo terminó, son rolas que narran la historia desde un punto medio, es decir, abordan la historia de la pareja contemplando los aspectos por los cuales la chica se enamoró, o aquello que ella hacía o sentía mientras estaba enamorada, pero terminan desvelándonos toda la pusilanimería de aquel desgraciado, la falsedad de esa relación, y el dolor como resultado; finalmente, están las rolas que las chicas componen con el animo de comprender al imbecil que las hizo sufrir, las que pretenden ponerse en los zapatos del otro para encontrar los propios defectos que pudieran haber contribuido al desmoronamiento del amor, pero no por esa razón dejan de ser despecho, pues cuando la chica descubre que también tiene parte de culpa en la ruptura, el dolor emerge con más intensidad para traer consigo la presencia del despecho.

No importa el ritmo o el género, no importa si son violentas o dulces, profundas o superficiales, las canciones de despecho siempre suenan mejor en la voz de una mujer que ha conocido ese sentimiento.

Aquí les comparto algunas de mis canciones favoritas sobre el tema; cuidado, si están dolidas, no dejen de leer la letra, echen la lagrimita y manden al demonio a ese desgraciado que las hizo sufrir; algunas son igualmente efectivas para que los chicos puedan olvidar a la infeliz que los pudo haber dejado, o que los dejará muy pronto, y si no están en esta situación, pues les servirá para no cometer los errores ahí expuestos.


Nos leemos pronto.

See You When You're 40
Letra:
I've driven round in circles for three hours
It was bound to happen that I'd end up at your
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance

Cos' I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for
But I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about

You think that you are complicated, deep mystery to all
Well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special
All energy no meaning, with a lot of words
So paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down

And I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about
I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind

So see you when your 40, lost and all alone
being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know
not sad because you lost me
but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad

You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd
well if you had walked past me today I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out

Now I've seen, tonight, how could I waste my time?
and I'll be on my way, and I won't be back
cos I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about
your just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back

Hands Clean
Letra:
“If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself
If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and
If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much.”.

“Ooh this could be messy
But you don't seem to mind”
“Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime”

We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

“You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
You're a kind of my protégé and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it”

“Ooh this could get messy
But you don't seem to mind”
“Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime”.

We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
I've more than honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept?
What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
What with this distance it seems so obvious?

“Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family
We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world cause you're such a pretty thing when you're done up roperly
I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body”

“Ooh this could be messy and
But I don't seem to mind”
“Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime”.

We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
I've more than honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

You Oughta Know
Letra:
I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

'cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

Well, I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Special
Letra:
I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town

I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

I...
I...

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to amuse you
I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

I'm looking for a new [4x]

We were the talk of the town [4x]

I thought you were special [4x]

Bitch
Letra:
I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one

Chorus:
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing

Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me

Chorus
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Stay
Letra:
You say I only hear what I want to.
You say I talk so all the time so.

And I thought what I felt was simple,
And I thought that I don't belong,
And now that I am leaving,
Now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
Yeah, I missed you.

And you say I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard,
I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
or to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no.

So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
And this woman was singing my song:
The lover's in love, and the other's run away,
The lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.

Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
Dying since the day they were born.
Well, this is not that:
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.

And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.

You try to tell me that I'm clever,
But that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.

You said that I was naive,
And I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
But now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.

You said, "You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you'll let me go."
"you try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just so scared to lose
and you say, "stay."

You say I only hear what I want to.

The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had its say

When I let it sink in
It's all over me

I'm watching you sleep, it hurts a lot

You've got to give me everything
Nothing less cause

What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

All I wanted was to know I'm safe
Don't want to lose the love I've found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don't let me down
It's not fair how you are
I can't be complete, can you give me more?

Give me everything that you have

He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....

I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to Black

You only have deceit

I never been on my own that way, just sat by myself all day

I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found a light in the tunnel at the end
Now you're calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
And it's only because you're feeling alone

At first when I see you cry,
yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile
At worst I feel bad for a while,
but then I just smile I go ahead and smile

Whenever you see me you say that you want me back
And I tell you it don't mean jack, no it don't mean jack
I couldn't stop laughing, no I just couldn't help myself
See you messed up my mental health I was quite unwell

I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends

You’re So Vain
Letra:
You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Night lift up the shades

sleep has left me alone

it's all I can do to hang on
to keep me from falling
into old familiar shoes

[Chorus:]

how stupid could I be
a simpleton could see
that you're no good for me
but you're the only one I see

love has made me a fool
it set me on fire and watched as I floundered
unable to speak
except to cry out and wait for your answer
but you come around in your time
speaking of fabulous places
create an oasis
dries up as soon as you're gone
you leave me here burning
in this desert without you

[Chorus]

everything changes
everything falls apart
can't stop to feel myself losing control
but deep in my senses I know

[Chorus]

Other Side Of The World
Letra:
Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

The fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's to hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

The fire fades away

Can you help me
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

The fire fades away

My Happy Ending
Letra:
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do
All the stuff that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus]
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

[Chorus x2]

[x2]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
So much for my happy ending

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

15 STEP

15 STEP


How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string

How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
I won't take my eyes off the ball again
First you reel me out and then you cut the string

You used to be alright
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue?
Did your string come undone?

One by one
One by one
It comes to us all
It's as soft as your pillow

You used to be alright
What happened
Etcetera, etcetera
Facts for whatever
Fifteen steps
Then a sheer drop

How come I end up where I started?
How can I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out and you cut the string





SUBLIME INCONCIENCIA...


En un estado de sublime inconciencia tras haber escuchado a RADIOHEAD & KRAFTWERK...






...probablemente el mejor concierto de toda mi maldita vida.

LA ROLA DEL MES

ROLA NÚMERO VEINTIDÓS – MARZO
Nude
R A D I O H E A D

Don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen

You paint yourself white
And fill up with noise
But there'll be something missing

Now that you've found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails

So don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen

You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

Watchmen

Podrá la película hacer honor a tan brillante novela gráfica?…

Qué dirá Allan Moore después de ver -si es que se atreve a verla- su obra maestras en el cine?
