Continuing with the podcast series dedicated to expose those musicians or bands who sings in English, but not being this language their mother tongue, this time is time for France.
French musicians have demonstrated a great talent to offer high-quality electronic and pop contemporary music.
This episode is dedicated to them. Bands -and something to remark is that the three of the JP3 15’s suggestions are lead by duos-, who have just changed the course of modern and electronic music.
Once again the theory of using English to promote and to easily reach major musical markets such as USA, Europe, UK and even non-English-spoken countries, could be confirmed due to that many people around the world know this guys.
I hope that you enjoy this interesting auditive-essay.
In this episode, you’ll here:
+ Air - Surfing On A Rocket
+ Rinocerose - Le Rock Summer
+ Justice - D.A.N.C.E.
* Joe-Por-Tres podcast is spoken in Spanish
** Lo siento hispano-parlantes, tuve que escribir en inglés para poder mantener la intención original de este blog.

Continuando con este “ensayo podcástico”, el episodio número catorce les presenta un conjunto de propuestas que vienen de países en dónde se tiene una lengua oficial diferente al idioma inglés.
¡Y no solo eso!, además se toparán con artistas/agrupaciones muy interesantes y sobre todo muy reconocidas en su ámbito, género, estilo, época; y que si uno no les revisa bien fácilmente creería que son de un país como Estados Unidos, Inglaterra, Irlanda, Canada, entre otros.
El ensayo auditivo, no solo les va llevando de un país a otro, o de un continente a otro; además dispuse de las canciones de tal manera que se vayan prendiendo poco a poco. Una progresión de canciones que empieza en Noruega y termina en Brasil. Las canciones están ordenadas de tal manera que empiecen la fiesta escuchando Röyksoop, con unas bebidas relajantes en un lugar minimalista; y para que ya avanzada la fiesta, no se me duerman y se ponga a dar de brincos con Sepultura.
Exajeré un poco con la duración del podcast, si bien es cierto que no les va a durar más que para servirse la primer bebida; de lo que estoy seguro es de que van a poder apreciar diferentes estilos, diferentes países y una misma lengua.
En este episodio escucharás:
+ (Noruega) “Poor Leno” de Röyksoop
+ (Israel) “Cities Of The Future” de Infected Mushroom
+ (Japón) “Free Fall” de Cornelius
+ (Finlandia) “Manic Dance” de Stratovarius
+ (Brasil) “Territory” de Sepultura
+ Background musica: (Francia/España) “Merry Blues” de Manu Chao
Indeed, climate is changing. I’m sure that some of you have been surprised for having rain in your city in a month where it should not be raining. Or having to take out the sweaters or heavy jackets to keep warm, after you had already packed all the winter clothes for a sunny summer.
Well, as a Mac OS X user, we fortunately have a feature called “Widgets”, which are simple, modest but powerful and very useful applications. One of those is “AccuWeather“.
As you may see in the picture above, it exactly ilustrates and informs how is the day in this moment. And of course how it’ll be the following days… 39 degrees on saturday!! :(.
I don’t like to do advertising just for free, but this little app has been really useful to me. In addition the graphics which represents the virtual conditions of the day, are just precise. I’m looking through my window and the moon looks as the picture above.
I don’t know what kind of solution do they have for Windows user, but a least for Mac OS X they do it very well.
I see that in their website they have a variety of products for consumer or single users. One of those are: Email notification, add-ons for your website-blog-myspace, Storm trackers, PDA’s notification and many more.
So, Mac users, do not hesitate in activating AccuWeather in the Dashboard.
