My mp3 player

Really, I'm not a huge lover of modern technology. I think life was better without computers, expensive cellphones or enormous plasma TVs. But in the other hand, these devices makes our lives more easy and comfortable, so they aren't that bad at all.

If i have to choose one of this devices, i'll choose my MP3 player.  I got it since 2010, almost two years ago. Unfortunately, i'ts screen broke after a few months when i bought it, so it looks really bad; but it work's, and thats the important thing. I use it only when i'm not at home, like in my way to university, my way back home or  in other public places.


I like it because I'm a huge lover of music, so this device connects me always with my favorite bands and singers. Without it, the trips that I make every day would be really boring. But I don't  think  life would be different if I didn`t have my MP3 player, because I preffer to listen my music at home with my cd's or in my computer.

Porcupine Tree

Porcupine Tree is one of my favorite bands of all time. Actually, the name of my blog is inspired in a song of them. They're a band from Hemel Hempstead, London, and they're composed of their leader, singer and guitarist Steven Wilson, the drummer Gavin Harrison, the bass player Colin Edwin and the keyboard player Richard Barbieri. They play a mixture between progressive rock and psychedelic music, with a lot of influences, like trip hop, art pop, ambient and progressive metal. Actually I don't really know why I love this band so much, but one of the reasons is that their music sometimes is so simple and minimalistic, and  sometimes is really complex and exuberating, with songs up to 15 minutes long. So their sound is really dinamic,which is a really fantastic thing. They we're formed in the late 80's, and they have published 10 studio albums since 1991.

Is really hard to pick just one song, all of their songs are pretty amazing! but if I have to do it, i'll choose a song called Stars Die, taken from their third record, called The Sky Moves Sideways. The song is very surrealistic musically and lyrically, and that's one of the reasons why i love it.

Here's a video of Piano Lessons, another great track from them.

This is me

Hello, my name is Javier Valladares, and i'm 21 years old. I was born the 14th november 1990 in Santiago, Chile. I'm the little brother of a fantastic family, wich is composed by my fathers, Egidio and Amalia, and my sisters Paula, Patricia and Francisca. I also had 3 nephews, Santiago, Katia and Luciano. They're very important to me, and their company always make me happy and comfortable.

I've always lived in Lo Prado, in the north east of Santiago. Is a very fantastic place, where I met very funny people and i've made a lot of good friends.

Actually i'm studing journalism in the Universidad of Chile, in fourth grade. When I was a child I went to the Ruiz Tagle School, and when i was in 7th grade, I moved to the National Institute, where I finished the secundary in the year 2008.

I'm a huge fan of music, wich is one of the most important things in my life, alongside with my family and my friends. Since i was eight years old i became a massive follower of bands like The Doors, Pink Floyd or The Beatles, and my musical taste has grow a lot in the years. I love a ton of different music, like rock, folk, art pop, progressive music, trip hop, grunge, post metal and a lot of other stuff. My hobby is to collect records, i have a lot, and I think that i've spent a lot of money buying them.

Since I was fifteen i'm a bass player, and actually i'm attemping to play guitar and to make my own music at home.

and that's all, for now...
