2010, el año en que el pop chileno explotó. En el año en que el pop independiente latinoamericano ha centrado, por primera vez, la atención del público de manera más amplia en España (vía Club Fonograma principalmente, pero también desde aquí con Plástica) si ha habido un territorio que ha generado una cantidad de nombres y propuestas de calidad sobresaliente ese ha sido, sin duda, Chile. A muchos la sorpresa de que en 2010 se agolparan nombres de grupos y discos del país transandino les ha pillado con el paso cambiado.
Hace un lustro apenas ningún aficionado medio hubiese sido capaz de citar un grupo de pop de Chile. A los más avispados quizá les sonasen nombres como La Ley, que lo intentaron sin éxito, o en la órbita de BCore, los afincados en Barcelona Familea Miranda. Quizá el primer disco de Gepe editado por Astro. O los escasos que descubrieron en su momento a esa joya que se llama Javiera Mena. Pero en 2010 las cosas cambiaron. Chile es un país de poesía más que de prosa. Dos grupos destacan sobremanera en los 90. 197, Umberto Eco. The first time I called Umberto Eco, he was sitting at his desk in his seventeenth-century manor in the hills outside Urbino, near the Adriatic coast of Italy. He sang the virtues of his bellissima swimming pool, but suspected I might have trouble negotiating the region’s tortuous mountain passes.
So we agreed instead to meet at his apartment in Milan. I arrived there last August on ferragosto, the high point of summer and the day the Catholic Church celebrates the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Milan’s gray buildings gleamed with heat, and a thin layer of dust had settled on the pavement. The apartment is a labyrinth of corridors lined with bookcases that reach all the way up to extraordinarily high ceilings—thirty thousand volumes, said Eco, with another twenty thousand at his manor. Eco began his career as a scholar of medieval studies and semiotics. With Eco’s paunch leading the way, his feet shuffling along the floor, we walked into his living room. Where were you born?

New York City. Ugh, Why Is She Dressed Like That? If you’ve ever hated what you see when looking in the mirror; if you’ve ever deprived yourself of food or almost passed out from working too hard at the gym in order to burn that 100 extra calories; if you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “Ugh, she shouldn’t be eating that,” or “That outfit is a little slutty” when looking at another woman; if you’ve ever insisted that you’ll commit suicide once you turn 40: this article is for you.
Ladies, something’s gotta give. The judgments of ourselves and other women about age, weight, looks, clothes, etc has got to stop. We are wasting our time and relinquishing our inherent power to a system dictated the hive mind of a faceless “society” and followed nearly blindly by so many of us. Seriously. Mind you, I’m guilty of it myself. This is nothing new, of course. I’m going to say something revolutionary: You are not your age, your weight, your hair, your skin or your clothes. So, what are you, then? Insecure about getting older? Fitzgerald's short story: Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Hide captionAs a dissident playwright, Vaclav Havel led the Velvet Revolution to bring down Czechoslovakia's communist regime in 1989. As a dissident playwright, Vaclav Havel led the Velvet Revolution to bring down Czechoslovakia's communist regime in 1989. Vaclav Havel, the Czech playwright who led a revolution to bring down the country's communist regime, has died.
During the communist era, Havel was one of Eastern Europe's foremost dissident writers and champion of human rights. Havel died Sunday morning at his weekend house in the northern Czech Republic, his assistant Sabina Dancecova said. He was 75. Havel rode the momentum of the Velvet Revolution in 1989 to become Czechoslovakia's first democratically elected president. Emerging from four decades of communist repression, Havel oversaw the country's bumpy transition to democracy, then rose again to lead the Czech Republic after its peaceful breakup with Slovakia.

The hotel lobby in Franklin, Tenn., has an ultra-urban loft-esque feel — exposed air ducts, austere furniture and fixtures, music videos projected onto a flat panel. Everywhere there is lava-lampish aqua and amber lighting. Sale racks near the front desk display chargers for iPods and BlackBerrys and a variety of snacks, including Cocoa Puffs and Red Bulls. Every room features a media box for digital video and music. Welcome to Aloft, a hipster hotel on the outskirts of Nashville. They follow indie bands and camp out at Occupy movements.
