The duet Jesse & Joy went to Mexicali, Baja California on March 12, 2012 in

their tour “¿Con quién se queda el perro?” of México.

The people who attended were divided by sections; the first one was the

premier zone which was completely filled with great admirers, the second

one was the largest zone of the concert: the preference. And the last one

was the general section which ended at the entrance.

Page 7: AMUSE

The Mexican alternative pop duet has a lot of teen-

agers wait hours before the concert started be-

cause there made a runway of a company that was

sponsor of the event. Later Jerry Demara showed

up singing “Mentiras piadosas” he’s achievement.

The concert started at 11:00 pm with the song

“Aqui voy”, and then they sang songs of their last

album “Esta es mi vida” in which ones the audi-

ence start singing in chorus. One hour later the

duet said goodbye and leave the stage but the pub-

lic were screaming “Corre, corre, corre” which is a

very famous song. Jesse and Joy come again to

the stage and sing the acclaimed song.

It ended almost at 1:00 am and all the people there

were satisfied about the excellent concert, it’s

seems that if they come again to Mexicali there

would be a lot of fans in there and it’s would have a

lot of greats comments about it.

Page 8: AMUSE
Page 9: AMUSE

The public wait for the beginning

of the show for almost 2 hours.

Finally the show started at 10 pm

and ended at 2 am, the environ-

ment of the audience were relax-

ing and fun, everyone was enjoy-

ing the show.

They could participate on it mak-

ing a joke in front of everyone.

At the end of the show everyone

were satisfied about it, there were

a lot of good comments, news

and reviews of how good the

show was because almost ever

year they came to Mexicali and

make a incredible show.

The book Juliet, the

author, Anna Fortier try to explain the back

grown of the story that

supposed inspire the play wrote by Shakespeare.

The novel can be read on an

aleatory way the story be-

tween the real Juliet and Romeo, how their families

became enemies and the fa-mous tragic love story; this

part, ambient in the age of

Siena 1340, its fine cause have, all the elements that a

story have, action, love, fights, tears, forbidden love,

things that every romantic

novel has to have.

The other story include it is

develop on the 2011 Siena, Italy and the principal role

is a girl descendant of the

real Juliet, how try to figure out what happened with the

dead of her parents. In this part the author, en-

force herself to create an at-

mosphere of intrigues, mys-tery, action and love, but ac-

tually is boring and seems like a bad intent to fill blank

pages.

So if you are interest on read

and tragic love story based on the Romeo and Juliet by

Shakespeare, you can skip

that chapters how talk about Siena 2011, you aren’t

going to lose anything.

First saw this on cable TV. Thumbing through the channels I stopped just as Donnie Darko was be-ginning. I thought the title was weird, and readied my thumb on the remote channel selector pointed it at the TV and it stayed there for the rest of the movie! I couldn't stop watching! I've never seen a movie like this.

I think the main theme of this film was summed up somewhere in the middle, where Donnie is

speaking to a not-so-helpful self-help guru and says something to the follow-ing effect: "Yes, I am scared and I am confused. But I think you are the f****** anti-christ." In the end, Donnie Darko is a film about people who feel life and all the emotions within it very deeply. Donnie himself is a basically sweet-tempered (often courageous) young man who is pathologically terrified of loneliness and the thought of spiritual isolation. His quest for meaning and self-discovery drives him to the fringes of our reality, which only serves to isolate him more from the world he loves. The few who understand what Donnie is going through go largely unnoticed (such as his girlfriend Gretchen or a tragically overweight yet remarkable sensitive little girl) or unappreciated (such as Karen, the English teacher whose only sin is trying to show her stu-dents that there is no such thing as a true end.) Of course, this movie far from polarizes its characters (indeed, polarization is the last thing this film wants to accomplish) and the majority are just a mishmash of the beautiful and the grotesque: Donnie's parents, who are at the same time loving and perpetually confused; the aforementioned self-helper Jim Cunningham, who is desperate to spread the lie that keeps him sane to everybody else; and Donnie's sister, Probably the best thing about this movie, though, is its incredible emotional range. It manages to inspire hope, love, dread, laughter, and tears at different points throughout the movie without making you feel least bit like there is a contradiction between those states.

They say that if you

combine a great charac-

ter with a great actor,

you're halfway to a

great show. "House M.D."

seems to do that with

most of its cast, but es-

pecially Gregory House

and Hugh Laurie. House

is a snarky, sarcastic,

occasionally callous

but adorable jerk. He is

also the most brilliant

yet least well-adjusted

doctor at Princeton-

Plainsboro Teaching

Hospital. Around him

are three junior doc-

tors, all three of whom

have varied but inter-

esting personalities.

Page 16: AMUSE

There is also his only friend, James Wil-

son, an oncologist and his superior

with whom he has a rather antagonis-

tic relationship. House involves

strange, rare and complicated cases

with no easy diagnosis, resulting in

the spouting of some mind-numbing

medical terminology (which I thought

was a brave and successful attempt at

retaining some reality) and often

character-driven story lines. "House"

has the best writing for any show in

America, if you don't believe me just

check the "quotes" of the series for

samples of dialogue.

House had an infraction in his leg, re-

sulting in it becoming painful and near

-impossible to move, which made him ad-

dicted to a painkilling drug known as

Vicodin, which proves to be the source

of many problems. House is, for all his

imperfectness, a genius, a master of ob-

servation which is depicted in his clinic

cases as he can instantly detect either

and environmental cause for the dis-

ease/problem or find some the patient

themselves do not know about. He is a

deep character, though, and flawed,

but likable, making him a cornerstone

for this shows incredible success with

the critics.

It’s very difficult for someone to not

fell in love with this show, everything

it’s just in the right place, this is a

10/10 Tv show, so go on and watch it with

no doubts at all.

The trama it´s about a girl named Katniss who is going to the traditional games, where one girl and one boy be-tween 12 and 18 are selected randomly by the govern-ment also kwon as Capitol; Katniss go because she pro-pose her as volunteer taken it the place of her little sister. For win The hunger games she must kill 23 tributes from the twelve districts of Panem. Another problem for the main character is the fake love story with the boy of her district Peeta, also playing, because that way they will be help to win, she doesn´t agree it at the being, because she have no fellings for Peeta, but he does and the boy believe that she loves him back. At the end when almost all the tributes are die an an-nouncement from the Capitol change the destiny of Kat-niss and Peeta from district twelve.

Born on September 6,

1943 in Surrey, England,

Roger was only an infant

when his father, Eric

Fletcher Waters was killed

in action in Anzio, Italy

during World War II.

Roger really never got

over the loss of his father, or the rage towards the system which

took his father from him. Roger as a teen joined the Naval Cadets,

which didn't last too long. He didn't like it, so instead quit and re-

ceived a dishonerable discharge. Most of his songs after Wish You

Were Here are his personal dealings with both of these ghosts from

the past. It wasn't until The Flickering Flame do we hear Roger

start to make peace with his demons.

In his early 20s, Roger attended Regent Street Poly in London,

studying architecture. He formed a band with fellow classmates

Richard Wright, Nick Mason and Clive Metcalf. Calling themselves

"Sigma 6", they went on to change their name (and management)

several times. T-set, The Architectural Abdabs and The Screaming

Abdabs were a few of the names chosen. Later, after Clive had

left, a childhood friend of Roger's from Cambridge, Syd Barrett,

started sitting in on sessions. Soon they began billing themselves in

local pubs as "The Pink Floyd Sound", a name Syd Barrett came up

with by merging the names of two of his favorite blues guitarists,

Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Later it was simply changed to

"Pink Floyd" and the group had begun. Below is Nick Mason, Roger,

Richard Wright and Syd Barrett.

Roger Waters

Page 22: AMUSE

He wrote the song “Take Up Thy

Stethoscope and Walk” on their de-

but LP, The Piper at the Gates of

Dawn. The album was a critical suc-

cess and posi-

tioned the

band for star-

dom. His best

friend and band

mate Barret

started to have

mental prob-

lems, Waters

was unable to

continue writ-

ing and com-

posing for the

band because of the time he was

having taking care of him.

Waters attempted to coerce his

friend into psychiatric treatment;

this proved unhelpful, and the band

Page 23: AMUSE

Growing tensions within the band, and Roger threatening to

withhold his parts of The Wall from the rest of the band caused

Richard Wright's eventual departure, then Roger leaving the band

himself in 1985. He went on to a solo career, releasing 6 albums

including the ones he released prior to leaving the band. Roger

tried to stop former band members from

using the Pink Floyd name, as he thought

they would take it in directions he be-

lieved were contrary to what he thought

the band represented. A court battle en-

sued, but was eventually settled out of

court. Pink Floyd was able to continue

without Roger and made several successful

cds after his departure. Nick Mason made

a guest appearance in 2002 during

Roger's In The Flesh show, causing Floyd

fans to cheer. David and Roger have not

had very many nice things to say about

each other to the press in the last 18 years, and neither has

spoken since. Rick attended one of Roger's shows in 2002 as

well, but was not received very well when he showed up back-

stage. Despite fans wanting Pink Floyd to reunite with Roger,

the chance of this is next to impossible.

Page 24: AMUSE

He was born December 1, 1935 in Brooklyn, New York. As

a young boy he became intrigued with magic tricks and

playing the clarinet, two hobbies that he continues to

these days.

His childhood was not particularly happy: his parents

did not get along, and he had a rocky relationship with

his stern, temperamental Mother. Allen spoke German

quite a bit during his early years.

After high school, he attended New York University,

where he studied communication and film. He later

briefly attended City College of New York and soon

flunked out. Later, he learned via self-study rather

than the classroom.

He eventually taught at The New School. He also stud-

ied with writing teacher Lajos Egri.

He broke into show business at age 15 when he started

writing jokes for a local

paper, receiving $200 a

week. He later moved on to

write jokes for talk shows

but felt that his jokes were

being wasted. His started

doing stand-up and telling

his own jokes, he agreed

and, although he initially

performed with such fear of

the audience that he would

cover his ears when they ap-

plauded his jokes.

Page 25: AMUSE

After performing on stage for a few years, he

was approached to write a script for Warren

Beatty to star in: "What's New Pussycat?" and

would also have a moderate role as a character

in the film. As production was ongoing for the

film, Woody gave himself more and better lines

and left Beatty with less compelling dialogue.

Beatty inevitably quit the project and was re-

placed by Peter Sellers, who demanded all the

best lines and screen time. It was from this

experience that Woody realized that he couldn´t

work on a film without complete control over

its production.

Woody's directorial debut was in "What's Up,

Tiger Lily?", but His real directo-

rial debut came the next year in the mockumen-

tary ( is a type of film or television show in

which fictitious events are presented

in documentary format) "Take the Money and

Run."

While best known for his romantic come-

dies Annie Hall (1977) and Manhattan (1979).

In his long career, Allen has won a total of 21

Academy Awards and 8 Golden Globes, He is one

of the most awarded directors in the history of

modern cinema. To the list of those awards we

must add,s multiple Bafta, and, above all, the

Prince of Asturias Prize for the Arts, which

was granted in 2002.

Page 26: AMUSE

As a writer has also published

most of his scripts, high-

quality literary pieces them-

selves, several novels and,

above all, stories. Should be

emphasized with reports in

Spain, and How Tales feather-

less end once and for all to

culture.

At 15, Woody Allen was renamed

and three years later he en-

rolled at New York University

to study Cinematography, but

after stopping a course of pro-

duction and bored to tears,

dropped out after one semester

in the university classroom to

engage to write gags for come-

In 1956 Woody married Harlene

Rosen, whom he divorced in

1959.

In 1966 he wrote the play "Do

not Drink The Water", which

premiered successfully on

Broadway and in the same year

he married Louise Lasser, ac-

tress who appeared with Allen

on several of his initial

films. They divorced in 1969.

He won the Oscar for best

original screenplay for

"Midnight In Paris" (2011). He

has a son named Ronan (born in

1987), from his rela-

tionship with Mia

People love music for much the same reason they're drawn to

sex, drugs, gambling and delicious food, according to new re-

search. When you listen to tunes that move you, the study

found, your brain releases dopamine, a chemical involved in

both motivation and addiction.

Pop music, as a genre, is very eclectic, often borrowing ele-

ments from other styles throughout its course such

as urban, dance, rock, Latin and country yet there are core

elements which define it.

Page 28: AMUSE

Scientists have predicted pop hits by performing MRI scans

on people listening to unreleased tunes. Future hits lit up

pleasure centers in the brain; dopamine was released when

melodies occurred that the brain had predicted. "Pop music

is basically cranial crack." the songs gave their brains the

kind of high you usually have to break a bunch of laws to

achieve, they consciously went against their brainwaves in

order to seem less inclined to pop music than the MRI scan-

ner showed they were.

And not only does your brain go apeshit when it hears pop

music, but also it actually derives pleasure

from predicting the melodies as you listen, anticipating the

emotion associated with certain types of music. When your

brain is expecting something to happen, and when it actually

does another rush of dopamine comes in from an entirely dif-

ferent part of the brain. And this is where your brain enters

Addict Mode.

That night the sky was falling to pieces, to Lara

wouldn´t surprise if the rain turns into hail.

She was alone at her home and then she stared to re-

member all the horror films, that she saw with her

best friend Luz; that movies were the principally rea-

son for why she was holding a baseball bat from her

brother.

She hearted a noise coming from the second floor, she

became alert and went go upstairs and heard a new

sound, she looked carefully at the place where the noise

came and discovered that just was Philip, her little

brother´s rabbit , that escaped from it cage. Lara smiled

for herself, took Philip in her arms and came back to the

living room to watched T.V.

Page 34: AMUSE

She was having that

dream again. She was

being chased, and no

matter how far or how

fast she ran, she could

never get away. And

just before she thought

she would get caught,

she'd wake up, breath-

ing hard, sweating, and

terrified. She checked

the clock on her bed-

side table. It was

3A.M. on a Saturday

morning. She glanced

over at her window,

and could've sworn she

saw shadows. She shut

her eyes and shook her

head, and when she

looked again they were

gone. "Breathe," Asia

whispered to herself.

"Nothing could be

there. Nothing bad ever

happens here." Asia

had to stop herself

from giggling hysteri-

cally. Sleep depravity

was becoming a prob-

lem. Just earlier this

evening she had

thought she had seen

the shadows that before

she had only seen right

after waking up from

the nightmare. Her par-

ents were becoming

worried, but for now,

Asia told them she was

fine.

Though, the shadows

never went away.

Every night, the night-

mares kept on coming.

Every night the shad-

ows were there, if only

for seconds. The night-

mares were becoming

worse. Tonight, she

was running until her

voice was hoarse from

panting, sweat running

down her face. Shad-

ows followed until the

dark hands would be

grasping at her back,

then she woke up in

her bed. This time

though, as Asia looked

out the window, the

shadows didn't go

away.

-"STOP!" she

screamed.

-"LEAVE ME

ALONE!"

She continued, her eyes

glued to the growing

shadow, slipping down

the window, curving its

way around the bed

post, blackening every-

thing in its path. She

pulled up the covers

leaving just enough

space for her to see, her

hands shaking, beads

of sweat on her fore-

head, cold, tears filling

her eyes. "I'll do any-

thing, just, please... just

go..." she sobbed, gasp-

ing for air. The shadow

stopped halfway up the

sheets, and a dark vel-

vet voice asked

"Anything?...

"She said to leave her

alone," came a voice

from Asia's open win-

dow. Her eyes darted to

the window. "Austin!"

she exclaimed. The boy

jumped down from the

window, and slowly

walked over to her bed.

-"Leave her alone,"

He growled.

-"Don't make me say it

again."

The shadow snarled

and recoiled in re-

sponse, and quickly

slithered away, back

out the window and

into the night. Asia let

out a sigh of relief and

relaxed her body. Then

she looked over at

Austin, her best

friend for years.

If we look closely we see that within societies there are groups

opposed to the rules it imposes, dress and act differently, they do

the same activities as other people do not have common tastes.

The groups of people are called subcultures or countercultures,

they do not follow the behavior of the dominant culture, if not

with their own beliefs, ideologies and behaviors.

There are many different subcultures may be young, religious,

even sexual orientation, as each has its own rules. When a sub-

culture operates within a city is called urban tribe, and there are

many, we can find the punks, graffiti artists, rockers, geeks,

among many others, but in this work we only are going to trite

the subculture of otaku.

Page 40: AMUSE

The otaku are those who have a fascination with Japa-

nese culture, read manga5 (Japanese comics), come

anime1 (Japanese animation), collect video games,

practicing the famous cosplay2 (worn as anime or

manga characters), and many other activities.

In the late 80's early 90's is subculture emerged in

Mexico, thanks to Japanese anime that began to be-

come popular thanks to television broadcasters, but

otaku do not get so popular so far. Each time this ur-

ban tribe is being noted, events are larger and made

going to the streets in their cosplay outfits. You have to

take into account that they are normal people like us,

only that their interests were taken to another level,

rather than a hobby, now became a lifestyle.

This research seeks to explain exactly what they do,

their origin, how are members, and how it has devel-

oped in our city to over the years

Otaku is also a formal way of saying "you" and "you"

in Castilian. Young fans of manga and anime were very

shy and used the word otaku in excess, that’s why peo-

ple started calling the otaku-zoku (otaku tribe).

Now, the concept has changed again, is equivalent to

what we call nerd, geek or nerd, here in the West, that

people generally are withdrawn and shy. Still, the

Japanese are taking it as an outrage.

In Europe and America, the term otaku is used to refer

only those who have an obsession with Japanese cul-

ture, especially the fans individuals manga and anime.

Fernando Perez: Why do you work on this area? Luis Gallego: Well, this is not my only work but I have this passion for mu-

sic since I was a kid, I always wanted to have my studio and working on

this area, maybe this is just a hobby but I love it.

FP: What are the reasons for someone to creat a band? LG: People have several reasons, but I think principal ones are just to be fa-

mous and have money, it’s a dream for everyone that plays any instrument.

FP: Do you think that the musical scene in Mexicali really has something to give? LG: I think there are few artists in the city that deserves a try and deserves to

be listened, but for their bad luck that’s not just what you need to be success-

ful in this business.

FP: How has been the scene in the last 10 years? LG: There has been a lot of new artists, for example Insite is one of those

bands that represents what the local artists are, if a city wants to be looked

from different parts of the world musically speaking, it needs to have some-

one to represent it, in this case, Insite, Reik and that kind of bands does it.

Luis Gallego is known in

Mexicali for having one of

the best recording studios in

the city, he works as a pro-

ducer, and he studied Lic.

Mercadotecnia in Cetys

Universidad, we ask him

about the local artist in

Mexicali.

Page 44: AMUSE

FP: Is there any artist that takes it to another level? LG: Well in this moment I think

the best example is the hardcore

band “Our Reflections” they are

looking right now to be signed by

“Sumerian Records” and if that

happened it’s definitely going to

be big.

FP: Are there any awards for the city into the music business? LG: There aren’t actually, I think

the best recompense for a local art-

ist it’s knowing that the people is

helping him coming out.

FP: What are the influences of the local artists? LG: It depends on the artist, not

every artist here have the same

taste on the genres.

FP: Is there any support for music in the city? LG: Definitely, the only thing

that really bothers me here is that

some people complain about pay-

ing like $100.00 pesos max and

that’s basically nothing compared

to USA.

FP: What do people expect

from a local artist? LG: People definitely expect the

best, here in Mexicali we love to

criticize that’s why the artists

here need to be prepared for it.

FP: Can anyone be part of the music business? LG: No, you need to be different

from everybody, you can recog-

nize if someone has potential in

the instant you see him.

FP: What do you need to be successful in the business? LG: Lot of guts, money and time.

FP: What are the principal genres that people hear? LG: Right now, hardcore and

techno is what most people hear,

this happened because we are in

the border, we are influenced by

the US and because of this every-

thing that’s popular there, it

starts to be popular here.
