A Brief on the Recent School Killing in Finland

I am deeply distrubed by the news about the recent event of a killing in a Finnish school. Things would not get any better, that's the message that i perceive from it. As if needed i reminder. Yes, I'm a pesimistic, but just on the surface...

For what it's worth. I could only send my thoughts to my friends who are obviously affected, as it is well known that 'these kind of things don't happen in Finland'. That's what we talked about over last Novermber's first killing. You see, people there don't kill each other in such an American way. Yet, it appears to me that some individuals intend to change that internal structure within the Finnish way of life.

The way i see it is based on my loss of hope and faith in Mexico and the Mexicans. As I have mentioned in this blog, things go only from bad to worse in Mexico. I, in my most natural and instinctive way of being, try to cling on the idea that there are places where people can still feel safe and be, in spite of financial turmoils. Observing the event of today from afar, I can only feel that despair expands through me, and that individual acts, while they are only that 'individual', can have a massive effect on the people that may share my point of view. Perhaps, I am quite wrong, and I may be only expressing my gutt feeling. I definitely don't intend to insult any one's intellect.

I could not begin to grasp the feelings of my Finnish friends. Earlier today, I spoke with one of them, and she told me that it was too early for her to know how she was feeling about it.

TheSconek-T, A Mexican version of Apocalyptica?

My brother told me about this band, which he recently found while strolling around Mexico City. I think they sound great, and hopefully they'll rock for long!

The song that they play here is a cover of 'Música Ligera', a song from the Argentenean band Soda Estereo.

After they play the first cover, they have a very brief interview in Spanish, where they explain their intellectual education in classical music. Furthermore, their motifs for playing rock music is because they are also children from the generation when Latin American rock fluorished from the early 1980s until late 1990s.

At the end of the interview they play a fragment cover of 'Pachuco', which was created by La Maldita Vecindad, on great Mexican band.

Sorry for the archaic facilities for video viewing, I'm working on it. In the meantime, you could copy-paste this url in your browser to see the video:

This video is great quality because the sound is proper from a TV studio. I hope you enjoy it.
