Linkin Park 

Linkin Park is an american rock band from California that was formed in 1996. The band was initially formed by Mike Shinoda, Dave Farrell, Joe Hahn, Brad Delson, Rob Bourdon and Mark Wakefield (lead voice).

Since their initiation, this band has been very criticized for its style and the people said Linkin Park was too comercial, but they have also received very good comments of important musicians. 

But in my opinion, Linkin Park is one of my favourite american rock bands and it has been one of my favourite since I was a child because I like the style, I think that they use and style that any groups have used yet. In their songs, sometimes, mixed the rock with a little of rap or some electronic music. 

They have changed their style along their career, but always retain their essence that make them unique.

This are their albums:

-Hybrid Theory (2000-2003)

-Reanimation (2002)

-Meteora (2003-2007)

-Collision Course (2004)

-Minutes to Midnight (2007-2009)

-A Thousand Suns (2010)

My favourite album is Meteora, I think is in this album where they have showed the best they can do, even the other albums are really good too. 

Indie Music: 


Different genres are called independent music of most popular of indie music for many reasons: 

-The group that interprets that genre is not linked to market circuits.
-The group makes music by artistic vocation, not comercial. 
-The artistic proces is controlled by the musicians and record companies not interfer. 

These are many of the reasons, inter others.

One of the groups that I like more of this genre is the Arctic Monkey. 
Arctic Monkeys is an indie rock band formed in Sheffield, United Kingdom. The group is compound by the vocalist Alex Turner, the guitarist Jamie Cook, the drumer Matt Helders and the bassist Nick O'Malley. 
Their first album  "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" was the best british album. 


My favourite songs of this group are for example, "Stop The World I Wanna Get Off With You", "Arabella", "Do I wanna Know" or "Are you Mine". 

I really like Alex Turner's voice. 

Other group that I enjoy listen to is Death Cab For Cutie

Death Cab For Cutie is an indie pop-rock band formed in Washington.

The songs that I like most are "Soul meets body", "I Will Follow You Into the Dark", "What Sarah Said", or the most popular, "Someday You Will Be Loved"

And here I leave a link to an interesting indie music blog that I enjoyed reading this so much:

The big bang theory.

The big bang theory is an american comedy. It was released in 2007. It has eight seasons with a total of 169 chapters.

The serie is focus on Leonard and Sheldon. They are two physics very smart and brilliant in their job and they have two friends, Howard and Raj that are presented as a complete "geeks". And they have a neighbor, Penny, that is the opposite of they. She is pretty, sociable and she doesn't understand anything of physic. But Leonard falls in love with her.

The serie shows a lot of comic situations and references about principles and theories about physic.
Also appears comic references about series and films like Star Treck, Doctor Who, Star Wars..., videogames, comics, operative systems, internet and rol games like the famous "Dungeons and Dragons."
Because this, there are many people that says this serie is for "geek" people, but in my opinion there is a really good serie that I would recommend to all type of people because is very entertaining. In fact, this is one of my favourite series.

The actors that interpret the main characters are the next: Johnny Galecki (Leonard), Jim Parsons (Sheldon), Kaley Cuoco (Penny), Simon Helberg (Howard), Kunal Nayyar (Raj). 

Of course, there are more characters that appears but they are secondary or appears only in one or two seasons. 

Finally, I want to mentionate the opening of this serie. The theme is called "The History of Everything" and it describes the developments the universe has undergone since the dawn of time. I really like it.

Today I'm going to speak about  the anime.
The word anime (アニメ) was created in Japan to name a style of animation. Is the term that identifies the animation of japanese precedence. 

Today I'm going to focus on one of the gender of the anime: Meitantei (detective genre) 
And I'm going to become with a one of my favourite series of this gender--> Death Note. 
Death Note (デスノート Desu Nōto) is a manga serie that was adapted to anime by Tetsuro Araki. The publication started in 2003 and finished in 2006, so it isn't a recent serie. 
Is a very famous serie in the young people, in fact, is one of the most view series. It has 37 chapters. 

The story centers on the world of gods of death (shinigamis), and one of them, Ryuk, is bored and drops his "Death Note" ( if you write the name of a person in a Death Note and you know his face, the person dies in a few minutes) in the human world. 
And in the meantime, in Kanto (Japan), Light Yagami, picks up the Death Note and with it, the story begins. 
Light Yagami at first is a very good student, excellent son and with the best marks in all Japan but when he realises that the Death Note is real, that it works, gives a change to his life and begins to kill criminals to create the "New World" as he calls it and he wants to be the God of this New World. He use the nickname "Kira". The police begins to realize what is happening and they begin to investigate who is the murderer, because to they, kill criminals is not fair, because if you kill, you became a criminal too. 
They investigate the case with the best private detective of Japan that not reveal his identity. His nickname is "L". Kira can't kill he because he don't know his name and is very difficult to know. 

The interesting of the story is that begins to complicate more and more, and we could see the battle of both (Kira and L) to be the justice. Who will win? Who do you think will win? Will L discover the identity of Kira finally? 

In my opinion it's a interesting serie and very entertaining. Is a very good serie to begin to watch anime series, in fact, this it the first anime serie that I saw. 

Finally, I want to mentionate the song of this serie because they are really good and I like them so much. The two openings on the serie are fantastic. The first opening of the serie is "The world" and the second is "What's up people" . I like the second more. And the endings are "Alumina" and  "Zetsubou Billy". 

Today, I want to speak totally about music. I am going to focus on the rock gender.
This gender appeared in the United States, in 1950s and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and became famous to big part of the world. Musically, rock has centered on the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with electric bass guitar and drums.

Now, I want to speak about some groups very famous of this gender and recomendate some of their songs. 

The first group is Queen:
Queen is a rock band formed in 1970 in London by the guitarrist Brian May, the singer Freddy Mercury and the drummer Roger Taylor and with bassist John Deacon the next year. 

Their actuation in the Live Aid concert in 1985 was chosen as the best rock actuation through a musical survey.
A very famous song of this group that we all know is "The Show Must Go On".
Other songs very famous also are: "Don't Stop Me Now", "We Will Rock You", "I Want To Break Free" or "Somebody to Love" among others. Their songs are really catchy.

The second group The Rolling Stones:

This is a very famous group too. Is a british rock band native of London. The band was formed in 1962 by Brian Jones and then joined Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ian Stewart, Geoff Bradford and Dick Taylor. Tony Chapman was the drummer during their first presentations. After the exit of Bradford, Taylor and Chapman, joined the bassist Bill Wyman and the drummer Charlie Watts. On request of the manager, Stewart was retired in 1963. They are considerated one of the biggest and influential groups of the history of rock, being the group that seated the bases of contemporary rock. 

There are many of their songs: 

"Painted it Black", "Angie", "Satisfaction", "Start me Up" or "Sympathy for the Devil" among others. 

And the final group is Led Zeppelin:

Breaking Bad is an american serie created and produced by Vince Gilligan. Breaking Bad tells the story of a chemistry teacher (Walter White) who is interpreted by Bryan Cranston and is diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer at the beginning of the serie, so he decides to leave money to his family. Fot this, he gives a twist to his life and he decides to produce and sell crystallized methamphetamine. He do this with his former student (Jesse Pinkman) who is interpreted by Aaron Paul.

This serie started in 2008 and it has five seasons. The story will be more interesting while the seasons advance and it has inesperated changes.
This serie is characterized by putting its characters in difficult situations that apparently don't have outlet.
It makes you feel a mixture of feelings.

The characters are really great. They are characters that everybody can like because they are built and interpreted very well.
Apart of the main characters before mentioned, are also Hank Schrader (Dean Norris); Skyler White (Anna Gunn); Gustavo Fring (Giancarlo Esposito); Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) y Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks). Everyone with memorable dialogues and scenes.
Another good thing of this serie is the intrigue, when a chapter ends, it leaves you with forward for more and is because this why this serie is so adicted. You can't take off from the screen.

In the serie we could listen songs like "Baby blue" at the end, "Rocket Scientist" by Teddy Bears, "It's such a good night" by Charlie Steinmann, "Bonfire" by Knife Party, between others good songs.
These songs were perfect for this respective scenes.
And the cinematography is really good also, the look is well elaborate and worked. You can't lose any detail.

Apart of this things, the final of this serie is fantastic. Often, the final of the series usually be bad comparated to the rest of the story. But in Breaking Bad we don't have to be worried about this because the final is really good, seriously.

All of that are some of the reasons to watch this fantastic serie.
