Fue por Cliff Burton que Metallica decidió mudarse de Los Angeles a San Francisco en 1982. Una historia de pasión, compromiso, y libertad, que tiene su origen en torno a un único elemento: Amor a la música.El impacto de la muerte del hermano mayor de Cliff fue tan profundo al grado de lanzar una promesa a su madre al decirle: Seré el mejor bajista...por mi hermano. Viniendo de una familia con

Han pasado varias semanas desde que regresé de México y parecería ahora algo ya tan del pasado, lejano, que cuesta trabajo recobrar algunos de los sentimientos recolectados durante ese tiempo. Refresquemos.Hace algunos días el Dalai Lama twitteó (o más bien su agente de comunicación, ya que me cuesta trabajo imaginar al señor semi-sentado o levitando en las montañas del Tibet, sosteniendo un

En la ciudad de México puedes ver de todo. A pesar de que mi estancia fue breve, apenas 6 días y sus respectivas noches, el fenómeno observado no puede ser fácilmente objetado. El metro. Un tumulto humano excesivo que literalmente lucha por entrar y salir entre sus puertas, accesos, escaleras, pasillos, y casi inexistentes escaleras eléctricas. Por cada vagón de metro hay un vendedor, que

De camino a mi puerto intermedio, vibrando entre nubes voy. Al despegar dejé un puerto blanco, helado, casi nebular. Hace varios años escribí un pequeño texto matando el tiempo de retraso desde el aeropuerto de mi ciudad. Papel y pluma en mano, holisticamente lo llamé Duty Free (próximamente en Tunamix) y en él arrojé prejuicios a diestra y siniestra. Hoy escribo este draft a casi 12

Y bien, me pasó again...mascando mi amentolada goma, volví al infierno en ruedas que me desplaza a mi destino, y con la seguridad que ofrece la fresca esencia del chicle, disparé tres cuatro ideas/preguntas a mi compañera de infierno. Todo iba bien, hasta el momento que, después de ella haber urgado por algunos instantes en su bolsa, aha! saca un pequeño paquete de chicles, y al echarse uno ella

El trivial hecho de ofrecer un chicle presenta una gama nutritiva de interpretaciones sociales que, desde lo más convencional, hasta lo más absurdo, definitivamente dan buena madera para un post de sábado por la tarde.El otro día me encontré ante una situación quizá bastante usual, pero a la vez sin salida. El dilema se dejó caer sobre todo mi sistema neuronal de toma de decisiones. El espacio en

Si algo ha marcado mi existencia en los últimos cinco años desde qué salí de México, es el hecho de preguntarme cada vez qué "vuelvo" sí a lo qué regreso es mí casa. Sería algo abstracto intentar describir el sentimiento, aún más hacer lo mismo con lo que "casa" pueda ser. Un fuerte lazo constante estos años para mí ha sido el idioma. Los oídos se sienten en casa...la lengua descansa y se sacude

Y quizá un buen punto de partida es mirando lo que hay alrededor, veamos...de fondo, Kings of Leon tocando en vivo, a mi izquierda una tenue lámpara blanca me descubre intermitentes insectos curiosos, más al fondo, el agua que hierve abrazando un montón de pasta, y detrás de la puerta, quizá pronto las pisadas seguras de mi pareja.

Hello Tunamixers,Long time not seen, and here I am back with a very simple post.Recently I got a bit obsessed with a tiny country in the middle of nowhere, yet in the eye of the future and doomed by the ulterior ultramodern ghost.I am reffering to the beautiful Kiribati, yes, Kiribati, a small island in the Pacific Ocean. And you might wonder why it got my attention? Well, basically because of

By Pablo BorrasHello Tunamixers,I´ve recently read an article from Letras Libres (one of my favorite Mexican magazines) which title caught my attention since the very first moment: ¨Without God¨ (Sin Dios, by Steven Weinberg, March 2009).My opinion about this article is that Weinberg is using a very gentle, almost hidden argumentation to tell us that sooner or later (more sooner than later),

There is always something to be changed, something to improve, something to re-arrange, to re-think. Discussions over these sort of topics can last for ages, with the unavoidable conclusion of, not

The oblivious capitalist's days are numbered.By Andrew Zolli, From Fast Company.com (March 2007).On September 13, 1970, in a now-classic essay in The New York Times Magazine, Milton Friedman, the lion defender of laissez-faire economics, put forth a defense of self-interested capitalism as forceful as it was plainspoken. "There is one and only one social responsibility of business," Friedman

From National Post, January 3 2007.The idea of "fair trade" first became popular in the 1990s as a method of assuaging the conscience of the affluent urban liberal. It was a time when left-leaning Baby Boomers had to start reckoning with hard truths: Not only was classical capitalism stronger than ever, but they themselves had to admit that they were unlikely to drop out of consumer society in
