Hoy en OrigenCuántico tenemos el honor de contar con una de las mejores escritoras de habla hispana y con probablemente la mejor escritora de Género, si hablamos de prosa y estilo, Teresa P. Mira de Echeverría.

Novela autobiográfica escrita con elementos narrativos de los sub-géneros "weird" y "new age". La historia se desarrolla en la región norte de la península de Yucatán. El argumento se centra en la relación entre el protagonista -un investigador en medicinas alternas- y una anciana curandera maya. La trama evoluciona a modo de racconto, con múltiples flashbacks, desde principios del año 2004 hasta finales de 2007.

Remember the Harlem Shake guy? (Baauer). Apparently Red Bull paid him to travel around the world and collect up weird sounds to use in songs. He then gave those sounds away online. Very, very cool. I tried to sample as many of his sounds as I could in this song. You’ll hear a falcon flapping its wings, camel grunts, goat skin bagpipes, a hichiriki, various bells, tribal chants, and more. The name of the track, 0_o, is the emoticon for confusion. It’s the expression I expect you to make when you hear this thing. Baauer made a documentary about collecting these sounds. Check it out at baauer.redbull.com – It’s a must-watch for anyone who loves music.

TIME IS STRANGE (lyrics) (James Room) YOU GOT ME HOWLIN’ IN THE KITCHEN AND LYING IN THE HALL. GAZING WITH MY FINGERS AT THE SADNESS IN THE WALL. TIME IS STRANGE. TIME IS STRANGE. YOU GOT ME SAILING THROUGH OUR PICTURES, TRYING NOT TO KNOW I CAN EVER TURN BACK TIME AND I’M REALLY SO ALONE. TIME IS STRANGE, SO STRANGE WHEN I AIN’T GOT YOU ‘ROUND. YOU GOT ME SCRATCHIN’ ALL YOUR PILLOWS WITH VIOLENT BREATH. WATCHING AS MY ASHES FILL THE MINUTES WHILE I BLEED. TIME IS STRANGE. TIME IS STRANGE. THE NIGHT COMES UP AND SHADOWS FALL AND COVER ALL MY TOWN. SILENCE SLOWLY KILLS ME TILL THE BREAK OF DAWN. TIME IS STRANGE, SO STRANGE, WHEN I AIN’T GOT YOU ‘ROUND. WHEN I AIN’T GOT YOU ‘ROUND. WHEN I AIN’T GOT YOU ‘ROUND.

Ausencia (instrumental) (James Room)

NEVERLAND (There is a clown) (lyrics) (James Room) THERE IS A CLOWN I CAN FEEL INSIDE OF ME, BUT HE’S WOUNDED. I CAN HEAR HIM CRYIN’. I CAN HEAR HIM CRYIN’. SO SAD, SO POOR,... AND INTO THIS CLOWN, THOUGH NOBODY SEEM TO KNOW, THERE’S A HEART BEATING AND HE CAN’T STOP CRYIN’. OH, HE CAN’T STOP CRYIN’. SO STILL, SO LONE,... AM I GROWING UP, BABY? I DIDN’T REALIZE. GET ME, PLEASE, ONE TICKET TO REMEMBER THE PAST. I CAN’T LET HIM DYIN’, HE’S A PART OF ME. SHOW ME NEVERLAND. OH, POOR LITTLE CLOWN! TAKE YOUR NOSE AND TAKE YOUR SHOES. WE’LL MAKE A LITTLE JOURNEY. YOU CAN TRUST IN ME. YOU CAN TRUST IN ME, I’M STILL A CHILD. SO SAD, ALONE, BUT TRUE.

JAILED LION (lyrics) (James Room) WALLS, THESE FOUR DAMNED WALLS THIS WINDOW ASPIRES TO BECOME A WEIRD ILLUSION BARS, UNSEEN COLD BARS AND HIDDEN CHAINS TIE MY BODY DOWN I CAN’T SCAPE BREATH, THIS LACK OF BREATH THESE FINGERS MARKED IN THE WINDOWS OF THE BORDER DREAMS, STRANGE BORDER DREAMS WITH PAINFUL MOANS TELLING ME: “THIS IS YOUR NIGHTMARE” THEN, I HURT MYSELF. I CAN HEAR VULTURES ‘ROUND MY CELL. PAIN, MY LONELY PAIN OF VIOLENT EYES I’VE ALREADY LEARNED TO LIVE WITH SONGS, REDEMPTION SONGS THEY SEEM TO BE NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE MY CRUMBS OF BLAME THAT BURN LIKE A FLAME. I CANNOT TAKE AWAY THESE CHAINS. BLOOD, I’M OUT FOR BLOOD. DON’T WANNA DIE BEFORE I’M BORN I HAVE LOST THE SUNSET IN THE STORM THAT BRAKES MY BACK MAGPIE ARMIES, ACES UP MY SLEEVE GOT TO BE AS CLEVER AS THE LIGHT BREAKING THE DARK GONNA RIDE A CLOUD AND GET AWAY FROM HERE
