She changes your mind

Well, is very difficult choose some favourite band because i don't have only one in my head now. So, after think for a moment I decided to present to you Copeland.
This is a american band formed in 2001 but today they are no longer together to keep playing anymore :(
People say that Copeland is a indie rock band, but I don't sure of this category because I think it's very vague and general ... sometimes many bands are called "indie" but exist a lot of differences between their music. These bands are popular for they don't belong a big record label.


I listened Copeland when I was 15 or 16 years old. I remember my school time and how I felt their lyrics. Well, sometimes it was a little sad and existencialist. 
But today, the most important thing of Copeland to me is their music and the voice of the lead singer. I like very much because his voice is very high and harmonic. Also the piano is wonderful in a lots of their songs.


I like many songs of them: "Careful now", "She changes your mind" or "Strange and unprepared", but now I show you a famous cover made for Copeland of the song "Black hole sun" of Soundgarden. I hope you like this version.

21 years in San Bernardo

San Bernardo is a district  located at the south of Santiago. Many times my friends and classmates say that I live in a farm with cows and pigs and they think that I go to the university in a chariot drawn by horses. But this place have good and bad things like another place in the world.


Good things :)
This place it's very interesting because there are a lot of old traditional buildings. There are many houses with straw and cement walls that have more than one hundred years. There is a station of trains called "Estación San Bernardo".
In the center of San Bernardo there is a cathedral with a big bell, there is the "plaza de armas" and the office of governance. This is very interesting because the city is organizated  like the old architecture towns.


Bad things :(
There aren't many bars to go at the night with friends. This is a horrible problem because I don't have many places to have a good time.
There is too far to the center of city and my university. All days I have to travel for oven a hour and "transantiago" it's so bad!
There isn't a place to rest, because it's a big and noisy city. Also isn´t a good place to live because it's soo far of everything.


Anyway, I've lived 21 years in San Bernardo and I think It wasn't so bad.

Some things about me

Hi classmates, my name is Josefa Ignacia Valenzuela Poblete, but people call me Jo or Jose. I think that's ok because my complete first name it's so serious and crude.

I live with my father called Rubén (he looks a lot like "Gato Alquinta" ex lead singer of "Los Jaivas"), with my mom  Isabel and one of my two sisters called Andrea. Dany, my older sister, left home a month ago to work at María Pinto in a school of social risk.

I live in San Bernardo, to far of the center of Santiago, but I don't care the distance because I use the bus trip to read o listen music.

I like fast food but it's not very healthy so I have compensated this with my favourite sport: swimming... but the only problem is I don't have free time to practice it :(
