My favourite music artist

Hi, today I will talk about my favourite music artist. It's not one person, it is a band, its name is "Red Hot Chilli Peppers".

It is compound by 4 people: Anthony Kiedis (the singer), Michael Balsary the "flea"(bass), Chad Smith (drums) and Josh Klinghoffer (guitar).  They play funk-rock music, and they are amazing!!!

They started at 1983 in the city of Los Ángeles with the album that has the same name of the band "Red Hot Chilli Peppers". In the first band the ones who played the guitar and the drums were different people; the one who played the guitar was Hillel Slovak and the one who played the drums was Jack Irons. In the guitar and the drums have been a lot of people, but the most important ones are John Frusciante and in the drums Chad Smith; the singer and the one who plays the bass have been always in the band. Their most famous albums are "Californication", "By the way" and "Stadium Arcadium". 

I discovered the band because my best friends when I was 13 years started to listen the music of the band, but really I didn't care too much; but in my english class I used computers, and in my computer had only one song, "Snow (Hey oh)", of the "Red Hots", and I loved it. So every time that I had a class of english I listened it, and I started to listen more music of the band; then I fell in love with their special kind of music <3

I like them because they have a fantastic combination of sounds with all the instruments; if you hear only the guitar, or the bass you don't think that it is a good song, but if you hear it together, wow! They are amazing!!!

I think that the most important and greatest songs that they have are:

-Around the world (Californication) because it talks about the beautiful that is in the world and it has a lot of energy, you hear it and you can do everything.

- Give it away (Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic) because is one of the most known songs that they have, even they have appeared in "The Simpsons" playing it. I like it because it also has a lot of energy and is funny to sing it jajaja.

Getting around

Hi, this is my first post, and I will tell you how I commute from my home to the university.

I live in Chile, in the city of Santiago, in the neighborhood of "La cisterna"; and my university is in the neighborhood of "Independencia" so they are reallky far away from each other. It has something good, because by subway the stations of my home and the university are in the same line so I don't have to do a change of trains to another line that is really boring and tajkes a lot of time. By this way I spend like one hour getting there.

I also commute using other transports. The one that I most like is when my mother or my cousin travels me in their cars to the university, because it is faster than the subway and more confortable, also I can sleep in the passing.

Another one that I don't really like is travel by bus... that it's not confortable, it's not fast... I only use it when the subway is not working and my mum or my cousin can't travel me. With this transport I spend like 2 hours to get to the universirty.

That's all.. Thank you for reading me :)
