As usual, I leave you with a sample entry,


















This is the photo I chose that I really like. If you ask me I really do not know who took it, it probably was taken from a professional photographer, since it is a promotional image for the Japanese trio “Shonen Knife”. The photo basically shows the band image, which consisted of Naoko Yamano (vocalist, centre), Atsuko Yamano (Drummer, left) and Michie Nakatani (bassist, right) I do not know when the photo was taken, but, by judging the band appearance, it seems to be it was taken sometime around 1990.

 I really like this photo as I already told you, because this band is a blast, a really cool rock and roll band. It derives from the punk movement in the US, particularly, from the “Ramones”. By the way, these three women from Osaka used to be called the “Osaka Ramones”. Their fame came to the western world basically because it was one of Kurt Cobain’s (Nirvana’s singer-songwriter) favourite bands. He was the one that promoted a strong passion for this group. It is no secret that this photograph represents the essence of Shonen Knife, three strong-willed women that like to rock and roll on their own terms.

Cheers.


What about you?

    It must be a merit that his music crossed borders in those times when everything in the world was not so globalized

    what a great picture. I like the black and white photographs. I don´t know the band but I find it very interesting that it is a band of women for an era where it was much more complex the female demonstration and female empowerment that I think was complex especially being in Asia a continent that gives me the impression that it is more conservative. I am glad to see this kind of pictures.

    It's a good photo, I didn't know it was one of Kurt Cobain's favorite bands, the photo reminds me of the band from the movie "Kill Bill"

    I didn't know the band, but it's great that they can play rock and roll on their own terms.

    Besides the fact that I learned something new, because I didn't know "Shonen Knife", I want to say that I really liked the photography, I consider that the black and white conveys a lot of drama. And the photo made me want to know who those three women are!

    The drummer looks younger compared to her peers, usually the band members have similar ages

    It reminded me of a Japanese duo that appeared on Cartoon Network, they had a cartoon and they sang the opening song for the Teen Titans.

English 3, Post 4, 'A Meal or Food you really like'

  Warm Salutations, Earthlings from FCQF! In this week, you are expected to write about,   - what is it? (describe it)   - how is it made?   - why do you like it so much?   - how does it impact your health?   - upload pictures (optional)    >  word count: 140 words    > don't forget to leave comments on  3 of your classmates' posts  and on  your teacher's post as well.   As usual, I leave a sample post for you to make fun of or to take as a starting point for your own written work,   It is rather difficult for me to describe a specific meal or piece of food that I really like since I love all types and flavours. I would say that this activity does not make a single ounce of justice to all my taste spectrum. Ok, there you have it, only this time I would say that I really like a delicious avocado and tuna sandwich. There you are! There is no much else to tell you about such a simple and neat design of a meal. It is only a touch of avocado and tuna fish between two slice
