As usual, I leave you with a sample entry,















This is the photo I chose that I really like. If you ask me I really do not know who took it, it probably was taken from a professional photographer, since it is promotional image for the Japanese trio “Shonen Knife”. The photo basically shows the band image, which consisted of Naoko Yamano (vocalist, center), Atsuko Yamano (Drummer, left) and Michie Nakatani (bassist, right) I do not know when the photo was taken, but, by judging the band appearance, it seems to be it was taken sometime around 1990.

 I really like this photo as I already told you, because this band is a blast, a really cool rock and roll band. It derives from the punk movement in the US, particularly, from the “Ramones”. By the way, these three women from Osaka used to be called the “Osaka Ramones”. Their fame came to the western world basically because it was one of Kurt Cobain’s (Nirvana’s singer songwriter) favourite bands. He was the one that promoted a strong passion for this group. It is no secret that this photograph represents the essence of Shonen Knife, three strong willed women that like to rock and roll in their own terms.

Cheers.


What about you?

    Very interesting. I ask me why two of the women are dressed the same and the other isn't.

    It must have been difficult for women to rock at that time, especially in Japan which is very conservative about women's role in society. I like their style, I will listen to them.

    Feels sad that Kurt Cobain is more known due other artist than for his own work. Anyway, if Kurt Cobain liked it, must be good.

    In some ways, pictures can make you feel things deeply than words or music sometimes. In that terms, the photographies are very significant to people, the photographs hide a lot of sensations, memories and stories.

    I had no idea that the punk movement had spread to Japan, they remind me of the band Babymetal

Beginner A, Post 3, 'Your Favourite piece of technology'

  Write about your favourite piece of technology Say:  What it is. When you got it. How you use it. How often you use it. Why you like it. What life would be like without it. - 140 words minimum. As usual, I leave my sample entry for you to take it as a writing model -if you want to, of course- My favourite piece of technology is paper. No, I am not crazy, and I do not want to pull your leg. It is for real. Paper has almost always been there for us, I mean, ‘us’ as humanity. So, concerning my lifetime, I have been dealing with paper my whole life. Paper has multiple functionalities, so there would be a little difficult for me to name them all. For some reason I still do not understand, paper is a wonderful piece of edible material – meaning that you can eat it – at least when I was a little boy. To a certain extent, paper also serves as a beautiful media to put your thoughts on. Also, you can make sculptures out of paper, and that would be called ‘origami’, the art of making t...
