La medaglia miracolosa

Tutte le persone che porteranno questa Medaglia, riceveranno grandi grazie, specialmente portandola al collo.

NB: Le grazie saranno più abbondanti per le persone che la porteranno con fiducia.

Cari lettori, lo so: questa volta vi ho fatto proprio ridere! Ma devo confessare che non è tutta farina del mio sacco (che purtroppo è andata tutta in crusca…)!

Anzi: ad onor del vero ho solo linkato l’immagine dal sito dell’Associazione Luci sull’Est alla quale vanno i miei più sentiti complimenti per lo spirito goliardico e il forte senso dell’humor dimostrato (anche gli slogan in grassetto sono infatti tratti dal sito ).

La medaglia può essere ricevuta comodamente a casa già benedetta (!), dopo aver compilato un apposito modulo.

In allegato si riceve anche un comodo ed elegante bollettino postale che permette di inviare un’offerta libera e del tutto volontaria per sostenere la diffusione della medaglia, che è un mezzo potente e straordinario se si vuole promuovere e diffondere la devozione alla Madre di Dio e dei suoi appelli alla conversione e al cambiamento di vita permettendo così di aiutare migliaia di italiani che hanno bisogno del potere di intercessione della Madre di Dio.

Ci sono comunque altri modi per entrare in possesso del portentoso monile.

La visione di questo simpatico oggettino mi ha fatto ricordare che i monaci del Santuario del Buonconsiglio* di Frigento (AV) inondavano le aule scolastiche e le case del paese con riproduzioni del santo ninnolo mariano e nonostante la mia inaffidabile ed intermittente memoria sono riuscito a scoprire che la mia famiglia è in possesso di almeno uno di essi. Sembra infatti che, da bambino, appena tornato a casa dopo una triste giornata di catechizzazione scolastica, io mi sia liberato della preziosa medaglia rifilandola a mia nonna , che l’ha conservata per anni in un cassetto, dal quale è miracolosamente riapparsa intatta:

Ora che ne conosco le benefiche virtù, sono certo che la indosserò sempre, confidando nell’aiuto della Madonna, che oltre ad essere la nostra Madre del Cielo, è anche Regina della Terra e di tutto l’Universo. Oppure no?

*tali monaci francescani sono noti per essere particolarmente facoltosi, oltre che per l’intenso inquinamento elettromagnetico causato e per alcuni fatti di cronaca accaduti alcuni anni or sono.

M from Madonna

Nici nu s-a terminat bine concertul, nici nu m-am trezit bine de dimineata, ca si aud pareri: domne, ce porcarie, nu are voce, ce show de doi bani, Madonna ne-a facut tigani, ce praf, ce mizerie, ce nenorocire, ce rau imi pare de bani, etc.

Ajung la birou, deschid mailul si newsletterele de stiri. Intru si citesc aceleasi comentarii, in aceeasi idee.

Well, am fost si eu la concert. Am avut bilete la gazon A. Am intrat pe la 19.30, am dat din coate si am razbit cu greu, dar am razbit pana foarte aproape de scena, intr-o pozitie in care vedeam bine. La ora aia, desi era aproape plin parcul Izvor, nu am vazut praf nicaieri (nici la B).

La ora 20 a inceput sa mixeze Paul Oakenfold. Foarte tare ! Sound bun, ritm alert. Intra pe scena la un moment dat cativa dansatori, cool.

Aproape de 21 termina Paul Oakenfold. Cred ca pe la 20.45. Si ne punem pe asteptat. Si asteptam pana la 21.50, cand se sting luminile, apoi se aprinde scena, ecranele din mijloc si cele laterale si se amplifica de cateva ori sunetul. Si apare si Madonna.

Nu am sa descriu aici concertul, e descris pe mai toate site-urile de stiri.

Pe scurt : Madonna a cantat (o fi facut si playback in anumite momente, dar a cantat si live), a dansat, a sarit coarda, a schimbat mai multe tinute, toate impecabile si toate intr-un ritm nebun. Cred ca schimba o tinuta in maximum 2 minute.

O desfasurare de forte incredibila. O scena imensa, cu sincronizare perfecta intre ansamble. Iluzii optice, tehnologie peste asteptari.

In forma maxima tipa, maxim momentul dedicat lui Michael Jackson. Final grandios cu un cer luminat de lasere in ritm de « Ray of light ».

Nu am sa scriu aici despre organizarea execrabila. Aici am vorbit doar despre show-ul Madonna, care a fost unul extraordinar.

Half a Name

 

Sting, Pink, Madonna, Cher, Meatloaf, and Bono wouldn’t be very anonymous at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

“My name is _________ and I’m an alcoholic.”

 

note: these people are on a first name basis with everyone.

double note: Brazilian soccer players do have 2 names … it’s just that the other one sounds funny.

triple note: if I changed my name to “Amen” it could get confusing at church.

quadruple note: maybe I’ll change my name to “Stupid” … and sue those t-shirt people.

quintuple note: Why didn’t William Shakespeare have a Pen Name? … did he write his stuff with a pencil or something!

sextuple note: The photo has nothing to do with anything: I just like this view.

DCUP’s latest is another exceptional remix.  This time the Sydney-based producer tossed up a unique spin to the Prior’s track What You Need.  It’s fresh out the oven and couldn’t be any more delicious.

Priors – What You Need (DCUP Remix)

We missed out on several remixes to 317 newcomer Bestrack last week while we were moving.  He recently released his debut EP Sunset City and it is simply banging.  Everything I have heard from him is brilliant.  If you don’t have these tracks below, you need em.  Every track offers something raw and unique.  If you dig what you hear check out the EP.  You won’t be disappointed.

The remix Justin Faust throws down is killer.  It is guaranteed to get the floors going.

GRUM – Woah (Bestrack Remix)

Bestrack – With You (Justin Faust)

Madonna – Into The Groove (Bestrack Remix)

Here’s something perfect to finally put an end to summer.  I know it’s a little early but let’s face it, school’s in session and no one is booking anymore summer vacays.  Night Max is another entangled member of the very fierce YALL production package we keep hearing so much about from Barcelona.  He is very, very talented.  Check out some earlier stuff here.

Night Max – Beach Hut (192)

I caught hold of Mark Ronson’s dub-reggae take to Miike Snow’s Animal and wow is it ever fresh.  The horn and key segment near the middle is perfect.  To be honest I’m not quite sure how he masks the vocals to adapt to his funky-ass beat but he does, and it couldn’t be any smoother.

Miike Snow – Animal (Mark Ronson)

BONUS:

Gossip – Love Long Distance (Fake Blood Remix) (.mp4)

Mews - 9/8/09

Now that Summer is officially over, I’m back from my spell of blog laziness, and starting things off with more music news (aka “Mews”)…

- Peter Jager, a German spider expert, recently discovered a new species of arachnid found mostly in Malaysia. Apparently a glam-rock fan, Jager chose to name the rare spider “Heteropoda davidbowie.” No joke.  Telegraph.co.uk

- Michael Jackson’s body was officially laid rest this past weekend at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles.  With recent news of his death being a homicide, it’s safe to say that Jackson’s passing is officially the biggest media event, music or otherwise, of ‘09.  NYTimes

- On the eve of the release of The Beatles Rock Band game, Bill Wyman (former Rolling Stones guitarist) went on the record with some negative words about the popular video game. “It makes less and less people dedicated to really get down and learn an instrument,” said Wyman.  Of Rock Band’s popularity, Wyman stated, “I think it’s a pity.”  NME

- Madonna, upon finishing her recent 85-show world tour, has landed the title of highest-grossing tour EVER by a solo act.  $408 million grossed, more than 3.5 million tickets sold, and 32 countries hit.  Meanwhile, U2 is also neck-deep in a huge tour, and personally, I would probably have more fun at one of U2 show.  I’m just saying.  Rollingstone.com

- The new Pearl Jam record is apparently somewhat of a return to the old-school Pearl Jam.  Read an interview with front man Eddie Vedder and guitarist Stone Gossard here.  Billboard.com
