Linkin Park, 2014-05-30 - Rock In Rio, Lisbon

Fri, May 30, 2014 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio (Parque da Bela Vista)

I went to Rock In Rio to see Linkin Park (for the 2nd time, first time was in Pavilhão Atlântico in 2003) live. I arrive at Parque da Bela Vista at 2h00 am. It was another big night and day of waiting. But it worth every minute of it. It was not as cold as the week before when I went there to see Robbie Williams.

Linkin Park are always amazing live. Love to see their energy on stage. The guys are always running all stage from one side to the other specially Chester and Mike. This time they even got a special surprise that was Steve Aoki on stage in "A Light That Never Comes". Steve Aoki was on stage for a minute or two and went to the right side and jump all over the crowd. Crazy dude. When he got out of the fans he passed just in front of me to go below the stage.

Before Linkin Park in Rock In Rio, Lisbon played Capital Inicial and Queens Of The Stone Age.

The first band was Capital Inicial. They played for 64 minutes.
They are a brasilian rock band. The vocalist is a crazy dude who was always jumping around the stage. Talk about the brasilian politics and even send them to a special place. They were fun to see.

I will write here the setlist:

01. O Bem, O Mal e o Indiferente
02. Independência
03. À Sua Maneira
04. O Cristo Redentor
05. Como Se Sente
06. Depois da Meia Noite
07. Quatro Vezes Você
08. Primeiros Erros (Chove) (Kiko Zambianchi cover)
09. Música Urbana
10. Should I Stay or Should I Go (The Clash cover)
11. Natasha
12. Fátima
13. Que País é Esse? (Legião Urbana cover)
14. Mulher de Fases (Raimundos cover)
15. Veraneio Vascaína

The second band was Queens Of The Stone Age. They played for 83 minutes.
They are a rock band that I don't like. They play rock but not my kind of rock. A presenter of SIC Radical, Carolina Torres was in front of me rocking and jumping with their sound.

I will write here the setlist:

Spiders and Vinegaroons
01. You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire
02. Go With the Flow
03. 3's & 7's
04. Smooth Sailing
05. My God Is the Sun
06. Burn the Witch
07. I Sat by the Ocean
08. ...Like Clockwork
09. If I Had a Tail
10. Little Sister
11. Fairweather Friends
12. Sick, Sick, Sick
13. Better Living Through Chemistry
14. No One Knows
15. A Song for the Dead
Note: "In My Head" was on the setlist before "Sick, Sick, Sick", but wasn't played.

Finally was time for Linkin Park. They played for 94 minutes.

What an amazing show it was. I made 14 videos of the complete show (27 songs) with 1 hour 33 minutes and 45 seconds. You can check my videos to remember.

Robbie Williams, 2014-05-25 - Rock In Rio, Lisbon

Sun, May 25, 2014 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio (Parque da Bela Vista)

I went to Rock In Rio to see Robbie Williams (for the 4th time, 3 shows and 1 act in the MTV Awards) live. I arrive at Parque da Bela Vista at 6h30 am. It was another big day of waiting. But it worth every minute of it.

Before Robbie Williams in Rock In Rio, Lisbon played Boss AC & Aurea and Paloma Faith.

The first singers were Boss AC & Aurea. They played for 48 minutes.
They were very good live. I was not expecting this. But I really like it.

Setlist Aurea:

02. Okay Alright
03. Busy (for me)
04. Scratch My Back

03. Taste My Own Tears
04. Impossible Heart

Finally was time for Robbie Williams. He played for 77 minutes.

What an amazing show it was. Robbie is really an amazing entertainer. You can check my videos to remember.

Robbie made a tour (Swings Both Ways) show but as it was a festival it sang also some of his greatest hits. I really love the complete show. Made videos of almost all the concert, only miss the first 2 songs. Hope you enjoy my videos. One time Robbie came down and went up almost in front of me. I grab his hand while he sang a little. Other 2 times he came down and I made it to touch his hand those 2 times.

I will write here the setlist:

01. Let Me Entertain You
02. Let Love Be Your Energy
03. Monsoon
04. We Will Rock You / I Love Rock n Roll

Within Temptation (Ft. Xzibit) - And We Run

This is the forth video of the new album "Hydra" by Within Temptation. An amazing duo of the band with Xzibit.
I love this song so much. And the video is awesome.

Within Temptation - And We Run ft. Xzibit

Hope you will love this awsome lyric.

Within Temptation (Ft. Xzibit) - And We Run

It burns into your heart, the darkness that you fear.
You were never free, and you never realized.
And love is a word you've never heard.
Your heart ain't cold 'cause it burns,
A desire to leave the mire.

Take your breath 'til nothing's left.
Scars of life upon your chest.
And I know wherever it goes

And we run with a lonely heart
And we run for this killing love
And we run 'til the heavens above
Yeah, we run running in the dark
And we run 'til we fall apart
And we run 'til the heavens above

Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Lift up your head.
We gotta get gone.
Yeah, we outta here.
Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Lift up your head.
Too late, we gone.
Yeah, we outta here.

And we run with a lonely heart
And we run for this killing love
And we run for a heavenly heart

I'ma break these chains, ran through the rain.
Never look back, never quit work through the pain.
This blood in my veins run cold when I think it'll never be the same
But i never lose hope.
This is my time now, no time for tears to celebrate.
Put it in the air right now.
Never back down, you'll never wear my crown
'Cause it weighs too much and I crush every motherfucking thing I touch.
This is love, I've never loved so much.
Get involved, make the world stand up.
Hear my mic before I ever give up.
Name in lights, you lost all my trust.
Now it's time to face all of us.
Get in line 'cause they're calling us.
And it feels marvellous, just take my hand and run.

And we run with a lonely heart
And we run for this killing love
And we run 'til the heavens above
Yeah, we run running in the dark
And we run 'til we fall apart
And we run 'til the heavens above

Yeah, we out of here.

Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Lift up your head.
We gotta get gone.
Yeah, we outta here.
Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Lift up your head.
Too late, we gone.
Yeah, we outta here.

And we run with a lonely heart
And we run for this killing love
And we run for a heavenly heart

Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Lift up your head.
We gotta get gone.
Yeah, we outta here.
Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Lift up your head.
Too late, we gone.
Yeah, we outta here.

Jared Leto, 2014-04-25 - Billboard, Jared Leto On Leaving Virgin, Thirty Seconds To Mars Doc 'Artifact'

Jared Leto On Leaving Virgin, Thirty Seconds To Mars Doc 'Artifact'

By Andrew Hampp | April 25, 2014 7:19 PM EDT

On the road with 30 Seconds to Mars in London, England
Dan Wilton

Jared Leto is a free agent.

Fresh off his Oscar win for Best Supporting Actor last month, the singer/actor is feeling freshly confident about his day job as frontman of rock band Thirty Seconds To Mars.

30STM has recently parted ways for good with Virgin Records/EMI, Leto confirms to Billboard, a label with whom the group has a tumultuous history -- including a $30 million lawsuit. All the gory details are chronicled in the documentary “Artifact,” airing April 26 on VH1 and Palladia at 11 p.m. eastern.

Though the film is based on the fraught period that led to the making of 30STM's 2010 album, “This Is War,” the band is newly unsigned after fulfilling its contract with 2013’s “Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams” -- and better for it, Leto says.

“We’re free and clear and excited about the future,” he says on the phone from Los Angeles, on a brief break from 30STM’s exhaustive touring schedule. “It’s the most wonderful place to be.”

“Artifact,” which Leto also directed, pulls no punches about the realities of the modern music business, particularly the ill-fated sale of Virgin’s parent company EMI to investor Guy Hands. Leto and bandmates Shannon Leto and Tomo Milicevic appear throughout the film, alongside powerful industry figures like the band’s manager Irving Azoff, Beats Music CEO Ian Rogers, music journalist Bob Lefsetz, producer Flood and fellow frontmen like Incubus’ Brandon Boyd and Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington.

With the band already more than $2 million in debt heading into the making of “This Is War,” 30STM was seeking to exit its 9-year-old contract with EMI under a California Labor Code that permits entertainers to terminate contracts after seven years.

ARTIFACT - OFFICIAL TRAILER (Thirty Seconds To Mars Documentary)

Though plenty of criticism is leveled at major record labels throughout the documentary for their outdated business models, Leto says “Artifact” is “not anti-record label, it’s anti-greed. It’s about artists examining the difficulty between the conflict of art and commerce, how corruption can kill dreams.”

He recently spoke with the frontman of an un-named “huge band,” who was excited to be recording the last album of the group’s current contract. “What a strange business that you’re more excited to leave your label than you are to be working there,” Leto says.

With streaming music services like Pandora, Spotify, iTunes Radio and Beats Music still on the rise, Leto is cautiously optimistic a new business model is in the works for the industry, even as those services continue to sort out their economics and royalty rates for artists.

“We’re all trying to figure out ways to share our music with the world, in new and exciting ways that don’t force us to have to sign some convoluted record contract that’s designed to keep us terminally in debt for centuries,” he says.

In the meantime, 30STM will continue to be tireless touring musicians, enough to have already set the Guiness World Record for most live shows played in support of one album (more than 300). Though all that roadwork has helped supplement the limited income brought in from recorded music, Leto hopes other bands in similar situations as his in 2010 will take heed from “Artifact.”

“We weren’t the Rolling Stones or some supergroup, otherwise maybe we could afford to battle a corporation for some time," he says. "We were a small band who had a little bit of success who believed in the fight for fairness. Hopefully, the technology industry and the labels will continue to take a look at how they operate and make deals and realize there’s plenty to go around.”

Lee Jones, 2014-04-23 - EPT10 Sanremo: On grace

http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/tournaments/ept/2014/on-grace-147886.shtml

On grace

by Lee Jones on April 23, 2014 6:50 AM

I come here not to praise Victoria Coren's poker skills. In recent days and in those coming, plenty of ink has been, and will be spilled on that subject. Indeed, her skill at the game is settled fact.

I am not here to proclaim the advent of a new dawn of women in poker. Vicky Coren has been a powerful force in poker for years; you will recall that she won her first EPT title (god, it feels good to write that) in 2006.

In fact, I am here to talk about a quality which gets little enough coverage anywhere, and precious little in the poker press: grace. I don't mean the physical grace of a ballet dancer, but the uncanny knack of doing and saying exactly the right thing at the right time, no matter the circumstances. The ability to reach beyond yourself and put people at ease in difficult situations.

Victoria Coren put that on display... ah, I said that wrong. The point of grace is that it's not on display. It's simply what you do in the moment that, when seen in review, feels exactly right. On, April 20th, 2014, Victoria Coren exuded grace in its truest form.

Watch the replay of the EPT Sanremo final table, at hour 8:10. The hand itself has become legendary, but in many respects was just yet another "cooler" for which poker is famous. Chip leader Jordan Westmorland (holding queen-ten) and Vicky (holding a dominating ace-ten) got into a 3-bet pot preflop. The flop came ten-ten-deuce and poker players around the world held their breath. The almost certain outcome of the hand was that all the chips would go in and Vicky would win a massive pot, becoming the prohibitive chip leader.

As the hand played out, Vicky bet on the river (which had left her still in the lead) and Jordan pushed all-in (as we all expected). Vicky took a while to review the hand before calling. This was for her tournament life and she needed to think it through before making the call. But she did make the call and when the cards were turned up, it became clear that she had been winning throughout.

Realize that at the moment Vicky saw Jordan's hand, she knew that she had just become a huge chip leader, crippled him, and was now well-poised to win the event. Many players would have leapt into the air, run to the rail to high-five their supporters, or any number of generally accepted forms of celebration.

The first thing that Victoria Coren did was apologize to Jordan Westmorland.

She felt bad that she had taken so long (it was actually just 43 seconds) to make the all-in call on the river, and feared that it looked like a slow-roll (arguably the worst possible breach of poker etiquette). Jordan very graciously (there's that word again) said, "Hey, that's poker". And what could have been a difficult and awkward moment became one of understanding and mutual respect.

Now fast forward to hour 9:17 of the same video. Jordan Westmorland did indeed bust out in third place and it was down to Vicky and Giacomo Fundaro. In another cooler, Vicky flopped two pair against Fundaro's aces and won the pot, eliminating him and winning the title. She had just won almost half a million Euros and become the first person ever to win two EPT main event titles. Watch the videos of previous winners (there is no previous two-time winner to watch) - you will see people running around the stage with joy, diving into the arms of their supporters, and so on. Now watch here as Vicky, seemingly stunned at the win, gets up and (with some difficulty) walks over to Giacomo. There is a quick embrace, but she pulls him back for a proper hug. That, my friends, was an acknowledgment from one poker player to another of the conclusion of an epic competition - an understanding that just a different card in one or two places could have made him the champion.



Joe Stapleton, on the EPT Live webcast, said in those first astonishing moments, "I cannot think of a better ambassador for the game." And on Easter Sunday, poker fans of every faith, the world over, replied, "Amen."

Vicky Coren is probably not the best poker player in the world. But there is an ineffable quality to Victoria Coren - I will call it "grace" - that makes you think, "I am delighted to have this woman be the face of poker."

EPT10 Sanremo: Salute Victoria Coren Mitchell - the EPT's first two-time champion

by Howard Swains on April 20, 2014 12:22 PM

 There's no way to begin this report with anything but the statement of an amazing fact: Victoria Coren Mitchell is the first ever two-time European Poker Tour champion.

Today in Sanremo, Italy, the Team PokerStars Pro from London, England, completed the most remarkable double -- the seemingly impossible double -- adding the title here to the one she won in September 2006, 2,765 days ago.

This is a day we have waited for on the EPT for even longer, 3,500 days to be precise, ever since Alexander Stevic won in Barcelona in September 2004 to get the whole show on the road. There have been occasions, many years ago, when we thought it would be a formality, and then many dark years more when it seemed it would never happen.

But now, in the 98th EPT Main Event, the two-time champion hoodoo is finally put to rest, and it is impossible to think of a more popular champion. Coren Mitchell is without question the best known poker player in the United Kingdom and her endeavours in the media -- she is a journalist, television personality, film director and all-round raconteur -- have endeared her to huge swaths of the mainstream.

Poker is going to enjoy an enormous uptick in popularity, clinging on the coat-tails of this sensational triumph. The €476,100 winner's prize, plus SLYDE watch, is my no means insignificant, but in terms of what this means in the wider world, it almost seems like an afterthought.

"People in poker know it's about showing a profit," Coren Mitchell said, whose lifetime earnings from poker now total $2,406,126. "The minute I won €8,000 it was a good trip. But tens of thousands of people (on Twitter) got behind me. I thought I'd be happy with sixth, but also thought they'd be disappointed."

She added: "I kept calling my husband during the breaks asking, 'Is sixth place all right? Fifth place?'" At which point David Mitchell, the aforementioned other half, spoke from the side of the stage: "I thought perhaps I should have been saying, 'You must be first!' Not, 'Eighth seems great.'"

Take a bow: Victoria Coren Mitchell, two-time EPT champion

Coren Mitchell was the short stack coming into the final, but had shown some impeccable timing with any number of chips throughout the tournament, and wasn't planning to do anything reckless. Instead, it was Emmanuel Pariset, the French player who had been clinging on for dear life since Day 2, who was the first to fall.

It was a turbulent, short day for Pariset, during which he bluffed at a couple of pots, was bluffed in a couple of others, made some monsters (an aces over eights full house, for example) but then ran into kings and was knocked out. He conspired to move all in out of turn in that last pot and that allowed Benelli to make a pretty easy call. Pariset made €53,100 for eighth.


Emmanuel Pariset: Great run ends in fifth
Benelli now assumed the duties of the big stack. The home favourite, who is never shy to get his money in the middle, had some sizeable hands to match his sizeable stack and overtook Jordan Westmorland to assume the lead. He stepped out to allow Coren Mitchell to double her short stack through Andreas Goeller's with kings against sevens, but was straight back at the coal-face with 9♦T♠ and a flop of K♥J♣Q♣ to take a massive dent out of Andrija Martic and his A♠K♣.

That was the decisive pot for Martic, but his bad beats weren't even done. He got his last remaining chips in very soon after with A♠J♣ against Benelli's K♠J♠ and Benelli went runner-runner flush to oust the Croatian. Seventh place paid €76,650.


Andrija Martic: dreams went up in smoke

Westmorland, who led at the end of the previous two days, had dealt with the Benelli momentum in typical style: amiable indifference. This American player has dazzled everyone in Italy this week with his unshakeable joie de vivre. Whether leading the pack or in a temporary slump, Westmorland's demeanour has not changed. He knows he has a pretty good life whatever happens at the poker tables, and tends simply to get on with it regardless.

Of course, this unflappable approach again paid dividends. Westmorland soon went on a surge of his own and busted Bruno Stefanelli with jacks against A♠J♦. Stefanelli earned €102,700 for sixth.


Bruno Stefanelli: Rubbing hands at the prospect of €100,000+

Then Westmorland won a pot from Giacomo Fundaro with quad threes. He then also flopped a flush draw and bottom pair on a flop of J♥3♠5♥ (Westmorland had A♥3♥) and found Goeller shoving into him with middle pair.

Westmorland made the call and Goeller probably knew this wouldn't be good. He didn't win any pots of any note today. Sure enough, the 3♣ came on the turn and Goeller's unfortunate day ended in fifth. He picked up €130,750.


Andreas Goeller: Biggest tournament cash by far

After they went four handed, a passage of play that lasted a good couple of hours, it again became the Andrea Benelli show--but this was the ugly side of things. Benelli lost a succession of pots, including two big ones against Westmorland. JWPRODIGY flopped a flush to beat Benelli's flopped pair of aces, and then Benelli's queens ended up second-best to Westmorland's 9♣7♠. Westmorland backed into a straight.

Benelli was already visibly shaken by the downturn his tournament had taken, but he had saved the worst of it until last. He got his chips in with K♥T♠, Fundaro called with a dominated Q♠T♣ but the pre-flop domination evaporated on the queen-high flop. Benelli was bounced in fourth, for €166,700.


Andrea Benelli: Sad face

Westmorland still had the most chips, about the same as his two adversaries combined. But here's where poker can be an exhilarating game, and matters were turned on their head in an instant.

Westmorland found Q♣T♠ and, after Coren Mitchell called his raise in the big blind, must have been delighted to see a flop of T♦T♥2♠. His next task was to figure a way to get all the money into the middle.


Jordan Westmorland: Happy face

Little did he know how easy that would be. Coren Mitchell, you see, had A♦T♣ and was actually trapping the young American. The chips did eventually fly, completing a sensational double up for Coren Mitchell and putting her beyond 11 million in chips.

Coren Mitchell finished off Westmorland very soon after, with A♦3♠ to his Q♥6♥. "That's poker," he said, as Coren Mitchell offered an apologetic hug.


Jordan Westmorland: Another sad face

After coming from so far behind, and clinging on for so long, Coren Mitchell was now well established in the driving seat and wasn't going to let this momentum dissipate.

Fundaro had neither the chips nor the cards to do much about it, and when he did find the biggest pair of them all -- black aces -- he only managed to get the chips in the middle when he was behind. By that point, Coren, with Q♠J♣, had flopped two pair and faded the outdraw outs. She clasped her hands over her face and looked at the heavens in disbelief.


Giacomo Fundaro: Temporary TV star

If we thought this could never happen, one can have no idea at all how it felt to be in her shoes. "You played very well, congratulations," Fundaro, the beaten finalist and Coca-Cola fiend, said. He wins €298,700.

Westmorland, meanwhile, sprinted downstairs from the main casino and led the charge on to the stage to celebrate with his new friend, Coren Mitchell. They have played many hours together this week, and have been chatting throughout. "She's a sweetheart," Westmorland said. "If I could lose to anyone it would be her."

Even on the subject of the cooler that accounted for his chances, Westmorland was gracious. "I knew that's what I got myself in for when I started this game," he said. "But I will win a live tournament soon." He's a classy dude.

Coren Mitchell, meanwhile, headed off into the Italian evening with her life in a beautiful quandary. "I've long since lost the sense of what my day job is," she said, having earlier extolled the virtues of positive pessimism. "Am I a professional writer who players poker as a hobby? Or a professional poker player who writes as a hobby?"

I'm really not sure it matters anymore. Viva your (new) only two-time champ.

THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS - Bright Lights (Lyric Video)

Formula 1, 2014-03-12 - What’s in a number? The truth behind the drivers’ new digits

http://www.formula1.com/news/features/2014/3/15544.html?utm_source=Twitterfeed&utm_medium=Twitter-F1&utm_campaign=Latest+Features

What’s in a number? The truth behind the drivers’ new digits

For the past 18 years, the numbers that each team carries on their cars has been determined by constructors’ championship results. This season, however, each driver has been allowed to pick a race number that they’ll then use for the rest of their careers.

But how did the current Formula One grid arrive at the digits that will become part of their identity? Ahead of the season opener in Australia, we delve into the details…

Sebastian Vettel - 1 (and 5)
As the reigning world champion, Vettel had the option to continue carrying the prestigious number one on his car, something he duly accepted. Should he fail to claim a fifth consecutive championship title in 2014, however, the German will revert to his chosen career number: five. Vettel had the number five on his Red Bull car in 2010 - the year he won his first championship - and in 2001 when he was racing karts.

Daniel Ricciardo - 3
Whereas the previous Australian incumbent at Red Bull was, for better or for worse, associated with the number two, the latest Aussie has plumped to carry the number three. “It was my first ever number in karting and I was also a fan of (late NASCAR racer) Dale Earnhardt,” Ricciardo has said.

Lewis Hamilton - 44
Like the majority of F1 drivers, the Mercedes star began his racing career in karting, and it’s from there that the Hamilton has plucked his new (or should that be old?) number. Hamilton ran the number 44 when he won the cadet class of the British karting championship in 1995.

Nico Rosberg - 6
Why did the German choose number six? Well, as he confirmed on his Twitter account, it’s his future wife's and his dad's lucky number. “It has got to work for me too!” he joked. If the number is as lucky for Nico as it was for his father he’ll be smiling - Keke Rosberg won the 1982 world championship with the number six on his Williams.

Fernando Alonso - 14
Like rival Lewis Hamilton, the Spaniard has turned to his karting days for the inspiration behind his new number. “It has always brought me luck, dating back to 14th July 1996 when, at the age of 14, I won the world championship in a kart that had the number 14. Let’s see if it will still bring me luck.”

Kimi Raikkonen - 7
Last year Raikkonen carried the number seven to fifth place in the drivers’ championship and the Finn has since decided to stick with the number for the rest of his career. Like many drivers, he's even added his new digit to his helmet design. Marussia’s Jules Bianchi was also keen on the number, but Raikkonen got the nod by virtue of his higher championship finish in 2013.

Romain Grosjean - 8
The Lotus driver took to Twitter to express his delight at securing his first number choice: eight (or #r8main as he put it). Like former team mate Raikkonen, Grosjean is staying with the number he ran in 2013, his most successful season to date. But the number has more significance for the Frenchman than that. “My wife was born the 8th of December, we started dating in 2008 and to my eyes my son is the 8th wonder of the world,” he said on his Facebook page.

Pastor Maldonado - 13
Racing drivers can be a superstitious lot, but clearly Pastor Maldonado is not a triskaidekaphobe because he’s opted to race with the number 13 - a figure considered unlucky in many countries (though, it must be pointed out, lucky in others). The superstition surrounding the number 13 is thought to date back to pre-war racing and has generally been avoided in F1 competition. The only driver to have entered a world championship Grand Prix with 13 on his car was Mexican racer Moises Solana, whose BRM carried the number in his home race in 1963. Was it unlucky for him? Perhaps - he qualified 11th and was the last classified finisher (also in 11th) after his engine blew with eight laps to go. Let’s hope the number proves luckier for Maldonado who says it has a long history in Venezuelan sport…

Jenson Button - 22
Like many of his compatriots, Button has opted for a race number associated with a good time in his career. In the Englishman’s case, that’s 22 - the number that adorned his Brawn GP car during his 2009 championship-winning season. Coincidentally, 22 was also on Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren during his 2008 title run.

Kevin Magnussen - 20
The Dane comes to F1 fresh from winning the Formula Renault 3.5 title in 2013 with the number 20 on his car, so it’s rather appropriate that he’ll carry the number in his debut season with McLaren in 2014.

Nico Hulkenberg - 27
The number 27 is perhaps one of the most evocative in Formula One history, having become associated with Ferrari’s swashbuckling hero Gilles Villeneuve and latterly with another Scuderia favourite, Jean Alesi. World champions Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Alan Jones and Nigel Mansell all also carried the number at different points during their careers, so Hulkenberg is joining an elite club. According to the German, it’s simply “a cool number”.

Sergio Perez - 11
Like Hamilton and Alonso, Perez has chosen to spend the rest of his career carrying the number he used in the early stages of his career. “I always had 11 in karting and actually even my email address has 11 in it,” revealed the Mexican recently.

Adrian Sutil - 99
The FIA allowed drivers to choose a number between two and 99 and whilst no one plumped for the lower number, Sutil has grabbed the highest. The number 99 was featured in the world championship before, at the 1951 Indianapolis 500 on the car of race winner Lee Wallard. However, as that race was not run to F1 rules, Sutil will have the honour of being the first person to race with it on a Grand Prix car.

Esteban Gutierrez - 21
The Mexican kept things simple when it came to choosing his new race number. “21 - my lucky number,” he Tweeted. You can’t argue with that. Coincidentally, 21 was also Gutierrez’s age when he started in F1 racing.

Jean-Eric Vergne - 25
The number 25 was the Frenchman’s first choice as he was born on April 25. He also carried the number during his earliest days in karting.

Daniil Kvyat - 26
In a stroke of strange coincidence, Vergne’s Russian team mate Kvyat was born on April 26, so the Toro Rosso youngster has opted for that number. It means that the Italian team are one of only two squads to retain consecutive numbering. “I also competed in my first karting event in Russia with that number,” said Kvyat. “But there’s not much history behind it and I’m looking forward to making something of that number as I start my F1 career.”

Felipe Massa - 19
Massa’s title success in Euro Formula 3000 in 2001 was significant - it earned the Brazilian an F1 test with Sauber. The rest, as they say, is history. The number he used in 2001? 19, a number his uncle had used when racing and one that young Felipe adopted in karting. Perhaps it’s no surprise that Massa has claimed the number for his 2014 championship challenge with Williams.

Valtteri Bottas - 77
The Finn has gone for number 77 after floating the idea on Twitter with the hashtag ‘BO77AS’. We’ve got to hand it to him - he was clearly thinking outside the box.

Jules Bianchi - 17
The Frenchman was perhaps the unluckiest driver in the number stakes. Bianchi’s three choices were 7, 27 and 77, but all were taken by drivers who finished above him in the 2013 standings. Instead, the Marussia man will use 17.

Max Chilton - 4
Like Williams’ Valtteri Bottas, Chilton has opted to use a number which works as a substitute letter. So, on Twitter at least, Chilton is no longer MAX, but M4X.

Kamui Kobayashi - 10
The popular Japanese driver made his Formula One racing debut with Toyota back in 2009. Guess which number was on his car? That’s right, the number 10.

Marcus Ericsson - 9
With Kobayashi choosing 10 it was particularly apt that rookie team mate Ericsson plumped for number 9, a digit he simply likes. It means that Caterham join Toro Rosso as the only teams that are running consecutive numbers.

HAIM - If I Could Change Your Mind

This is the fifth video of HAIM. Released in 2014.

HAIM - If I Could Change Your Mind

Hope you will love this awsome lyric.

HAIM - If I Could Change Your Mind

[Verse:]
No, please don't cry
I've never done this before, drove a million miles
Back, when you were mine
I was too young to know you were the one to find

[Bridge:]
But if I was to say I regret it
Would it mean a thing?
Cause every time I think (I think) think about it
Memories take me back to all of the wildest times

[Chorus:]
If I could change your mind
I would hit the ground running
It took time to realize
And I never saw it coming
Forgive my lying eyes
Gonna give you all or nothing
If I could change your mind
I could make you mine, make you mine

[Verse:]
Now I won't go
I won't run away this time
But all I wanna know

[Bridge:]
But if I was to say I'll forget it
Would it mean a thing?
Cause every time I think (I think) about it
Memories take me back to all of the wildest times

[Chorus]
If I could change your mind
I would hit the ground running
It took time to realize
And I never saw it coming
Forgive my lying eyes
Gonna give you all or nothing
If I could change your mind
I could make you mine, make you mine

[Verse:]
Visions of our love pass right by me
Your eyes are enough to remind me
Visions of our love pass right by me
Your eyes are enough to remind me
Visions of our love remind me

[Chorus]
If I could change your mind
I would hit the ground running
It took time to realize
And I never saw it coming
Forgive my lying eyes
Gonna give you all or nothing
If I could change your mind
I could make you mine, make you mine

Visions of our love remind me
(If could change your mind)
Visions of our love remind me
(It took time to realize)
Visions of our love remind me
(Forgive my lying eyes)
Visions of our love remind me
(If I could change your mind, I could make you mine...)

HAIM - The Wire

Hope you will love this awsome lyric.

HAIM - The Wire

You know I'm bad at communication, it's the hardest thing for me to do
And it's said, it's the most important part that relationships will go through
And I'd give it all away just so I could say that
I know I know I know I know that you're gonna be OK anyway

You know there's no rhyme or reason for the way you turned out to be
I didn't go and try to change my mind. not intentionally
I know it's hard to hear me say it but I can't bear to stay and
I just know I know I know I know that you're gonna be OK anyway

Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled him when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled him when I came down to the wire

Does your imagination try to make you what you wanted to be?
Because I'm sorry I do what I did, but it came naturally
And I gave it all away just so I could say that
Well I know I know I know I know that you're gonna be OK anyway

Well I try to keep myself together, after all the opportunities
I try to stay true to you and try to do what you wanted for me
And I'd give it all away just to hear you say that
Well I know I know I know I know that you're gonna be OK anyway

Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
Ooh yeah

Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire
Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
Ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah
No no no no
It felt right
It felt right
It felt right
No no no no
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire

HAIM - Falling

Hope you will love this awsome lyric.

HAIM - Falling

I hurl into the moment like I'm standing at the edge (I know)
That no one's gonna turn me 'round
Just one more step, I could let go
Oh and in the middle,
I hear the voices and they're calling for me now (I know)
And nothing's gonna wake me now
Cause I'm a slave to the sound

And they're calling,
Don't stop, no, I'll never give up
And I'll never look back, just hold your head up
And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough
They keep saying
Don't stop, no one's ever enough
I'll never look back, never give up
And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough
But now I'm falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling,
Falling, falling, falling, falling, oh

Now we're going down,
And I can feel the eyes are watching us so closely oh
I'm trying not to make a sound
Cause I'll be found out somehow

So keep calling,
Don't stop, no, I'll never give up
And I'll never look back, just hold your head up
And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough
They keep saying
Don't stop, no one's ever enough
I'll never look back, never give up
And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough
But now I'm falling

Into the fire feeling higher than the truth
(I'm falling)
I can feel the heat but I'm not burning
(But now I'm falling)
Feeling desire, feeling tired, hungry too
(I'm falling)
Feels like I'm falling, yeah

HAIM - Don't Save Me

This is the second video of HAIM. Released in 2012.

HAIM - Don't Save Me

Hope you will love this awsome lyric.

HAIM - Don't Save Me

Never thought that I would grow so old of seeing the gold
Still I never want it to go
I would hold it up to my cold heart
Feel the way it used to start up

Take me back, take, take
Take me back to the way that I was before
Hungry for what was to come
Now I'm longing for the way I was

You say you will, say you will save me
You say you will, say you will save me
You say you will, say you will save me
You say you will, say you will, oh-oh

Take me back
Give it up, give it up to me
Cause I can't go on
If your love isn't strong
See I wanna know
Give me, give me all your love
If you can't hold on
Then baby, baby don't save me now
(If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
No, no

All my life I wasn't trying to get on a highway
I was wondering which way to go
Spending all of my damn time
Leaving all the weight behind you

Take me back, take take
Take me back to the song how it used to go oh-oh
Screaming for what was to come
Now I'm dreaming 'bout the way I was

You say you will, say you will save me
You say you will, say you will save me
You say you will, say you will save me
You say you will, say you will, oh-oh

Take me back
Give it up, give it up to me
Cause I can't go on
If your love isn't strong
See I wanna know
Give me, give me all your love
If you can't hold on
Then baby, baby don't save me now
(If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
No, no

And if I have to beg for your love
(Again, and again and again)
Tell me, tell me
Oh, will it ever be enough?
(Again, and again and again)
Tell me, tell me
And if I have to beg for your love
(Again, and again and again)
Tell me, tell me
Oh, will it ever be enough?
(Again, and again and again)

So, baby don't save me
No, baby don't save me
Baby, don't save me now
(Again, and again and again)
(If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
(Again, and again and again)
(If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
(Again, and again and again)
(If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
(Again, and again and again)
(If your love isn't strong)
Don't save me
(Again, and again and again)
Don't save me
(Again, and again and again)

HAIM - Forever

Haim (pronounced /haɪm/ to rhyme with "time") is an American rock band hailing from Los Angeles, California. The band consists of sisters Este Arielle (born March 14, 1986), Danielle Sari (born February 16, 1989) and Alana Mychal Haim (born December 15, 1991) along with drummer Dash Hutton, son of Danny Hutton and previously a member of the bands Wires on Fire and Slang Chicken.

Most frequently compared to Fleetwood Mac, Haim's sound has been described as "nu-folk-meets-nineties-R&B" and "music that sounds like it was written on a lakeside retreat attended by Stevie Nicks, John Waite and En Vogue". The band played at the 2013 Glastonbury festival, earned a top ranking in BBC's Sound of 2013 poll, and later signed with Jay-Z's Roc Nation management group.

This is the first video of HAIM. Released in 2012.

"Forever" was originally released February 10, 2012 as a free download from the band's website.

HAIM - Forever (Official Music Video)

Hope you will love this awsome lyric.

HAIM - Forever

Hey you!
Remember me? Remember love?
Remember trying to stay together?
My time, you took it all.
You tried to see.
You tried to bring yourself up without involving me.
It isn't fair, to have your way,
To try and get up and go and na na na na now can't you see,
It isn't fair to have your way,
But I'm trying to get your attention and I need you to know that.

Hey you! Hey you!
Can't you make this thing?
I know, I know, I know you ain't the one to play the game.
Now I know I'm gonna go your way.
Here we go, now I know, I know know know.

Forever I try to make it right,
Together we suck, end in sight,
I'm tired of fighting the good fight,
If you say the word then I'll say goodbye.

Forever I see you and me,
Forever I'll try for you and I,
No I never believed in the reason,
Just another good reason to get a ride.

I don't want to turn around,
So come on baby,
Come on and try to let it out,
Let it go.
We're still the same,
So come on baby,
Kick to the sounds, figure it out,
Let's get back to where we started out.

Hey you! Hey you!
Can't you make this thing?
I know, I know, I know you ain't the one to play the game.
Now I know I'm gonna go your way.
Here we go, now I know, I know know know.

Forever I try to make it right,
Together we suck, end in sight,
I'm tired of fighting the good fight,
If you say the word then I'll say goodbye.

Forever I see you and me,
Forever I'll try for you and I,
No I never believed in the reason,
Just another good reason to get a ride.

Go go go go get out, get out of my memory,
No no no not tonight, I don't have the energy.

Go go go go get out, get out of my memory,
No no no not tonight, oh not tonight, oh not tonight.

Forever I try to make it right,
Together we suck, end in sight,
I'm tired of fighting the good fight,
If you say the word then I'll say goodbye.

Forever I see you and me,
Forever I'll try for you and I,
No I never believed in the reason,
Just another good reason to get a ride.

Forever I try to make it right,
Together we suck, end in sight,
I'm tired of fighting the good fight,
If you say the word then I'll say goodbye.

Forever I see you and me,
Forever I'll try for you and I,
No I never believed in the reason,
Just another good reason to get a ride.
