Kat Von D para LA Times (Marzo 2020)

Kat Von D lamenta su publicación anti-vacunas: ‘Estaba completamente mal informada’

...

Kat Von D, cubierta en tatuajes, usando unos pants de yoga para día de mudanza y una blusa suelta color negro que permite ver sus hombros, te guía emocionada hacía la parte de arriba de su nueva mansión en Windsor Square. Estás ahí para hablar de su recién lanzada línea de calzado vegano, y otras noticias, pero primero, tiene algo que mostrarte.

Te lleva hacía unas escaleras magníficas, con remates de bolas de cristal brillantes, pasando por una pintura tamaño real de ‘el diablo’ susurrando al oído de Jesús, continuando más allá del cuarto. Ella expande sus manos de forma amplia con el drama de un “ta-dá” cómo el de los magos, revelando su marquesina.

Está parada en frente de un armario en forma de chelo lo suficientemente grande para esconder a un humano. Está decorado con un par de serpientes talladas en madera, acentuado con una cabeza arriba y un inscrito en Latín enfrente. “Dice, ‘En Dios Confiábamos’ — tiempo pasado”, ella agrega, antes de añadir un “ta-dá” más grande. “Éste era un regalo de Napoleon para su concertista de chelo favorito. Lo compré en una subasta, y llegó hoy.”

Von D, la artista de tatuajes de 38 años que construyó su camino hacía un reality de TV a base de agujas en “L.A. Ink” hace una década, es quizás igual de reconocida por una oferta de una colección de cuatro lápices labiales de licencia compartida con Sephora hace 12 años, que después se expandió a una marca de belleza global multimillonaria.

Kat Von D, en el set del programa “Miami Ink” de TLC, que la catapultó a la fama — y el derivado posterior, su propio programa llamado “L.A. Ink”, que era grabado en su estudio de West Hollywood, “High Voltage Tattoo”.

Entre el tiempo que estás buscando agendar la entrevista con ella, y el momento en que te apareces en su puerta frontal de su mansión en donde querubines de mármol arrodillados flanquean su chimenea, Von D ha anunciado en una publicación de Instagram que ella y sus socios de mucho tiempo en Kat Von D Beauty — LVMH, dueños de la marca incubadora Kendo Brands — se separan. Inmediatamente después de ese anuncio a mediados de enero, Kendo cambió el nombre de la línea multipremiada a KVD Vegan Beauty, dejando abierta la especulación de que la razón del rompimiento no se debía a lo que Von D había declarado — para que se pudiera enfocar en su creciente negocio de zapatos y en la gira para promocionar su álbum que será lanzado pronto — y que en realidad, tenía que ver más con cierta controversia de hace dos años.

Fue ahí que Von D prendió fuego al internet, cuando aún estaba próxima a ser madre, compartió una foto de su vientre y declaró que no quería vacunar a su hijo [en ese entonces] no nacido.

En esta mañana tardía de Febrero, con su (muy vacunado) hijo de 16 meses bajo el ojo de águila de su niñera en algún sitio de su nueva mansión y su gato sin pelo de raza Sphynx de nombre Nietzsche acostado en su regazo, la mujer cuyo nombre de nacimiento es Katherine Von Drachengerg, con lo que parece ser lágrimas pequeñas acumulándose en sus ojos, está lista para aclarar un par de temas.

“Cuando se trata del problema de las vacunas”, ella dice con un ligero temblor en su voz, “Estaba con seis meses de embarazo en el momento, y todavía intentando descifrar mi plan para el nacimiento de mi hijo. Y, en ese momento, hice una publicación totalmente desconsiderado en mi Instagram, sobre si iba a vacunarlo o no. Y, por eso, la gente piensa que soy algo no es cierto…”

Cuando estaba embarazada de su hijo Leafar en el 2018, Kat Von D compartió en su Instagram sobre sus deseos de no querer vacunarlo, iniciando una tormenta de controversia. (Mariah Tauger / Los Angeles Times)

“Pero la verdad es, que no soy anti-vacunas para nada”, dice Von D, “Simplemente cometí un error, y estaba completamente mal informada. Fue estúpido, y realmente no debí abrir mi bocata sobre ese tema”

Von D confiesa que mientras ella recibió un oleaje de respuestas negativas cómo resultado de dicha publicación en Instagram del 2018 — y que todavía continúa en la actualidad en cierto nivel — no tuvo nada que ver con que ella y Kendo terminaran su relación laboral; en realidad sólo se trató de la línea de tiempo con sus otros proyectos. (Representantes de KVD Vegan Beauty declinaron comentar al respecto, pero le desearon a su antigua fundadora “la mejor de la suertes.”)

“Ya habíamos estado en disputas legales profundas un año anterior a esto,” ella comenta. [Kat Von D Beauty] no era algo que pudiera simplemente entregar, sólo recoger algún cheque a cambio de desconectarme de todo. …Me involucro de una manera que llega a ser dolorosa en todo lo que hago, y tiendo a hacer “micro gestión” — estoy segura de que Kendo puede confirmar eso — pero, justo es parte de lo que hizo a la marca hermosa. Fue algo duro para mi.

…No quería ser deshonesta con el público y decir, ‘Hey, todo sigue igual,’ cuando en realidad, es que no estaré involucrada de ninguna manera.” El cambio de nombre, ella adhiere, “tomó mucho compromiso por parte de ellos.”

Quizás la mayor huella que Von D dejó en la marca de cosméticos de 12 años (además de sus iniciales en los empaques) fue el haber presionado para que toda la línea fuera reformada para ser vegana. “Había sido vegetariana por un tiempo largo, pero en el 2011, cuando me convertí en vegana, sentí que debía tomar más acción, y menos palabras,” ella dice. “Y ellos siempre apoyaron mi visión, entonces me respaldaron. Tomó mucho dinero y energía en su momento — alrededor de un año — para simplemente hacerlo. Tuvimos que reemplazar ingredientes cómo cera de abeja y carmina [un pigmento hecho de escarabajos molidos]. No tenía idea de nada de eso cuando empezamos.”

Otra parte de poner el ejemplo, significaba sacar de su clóset cientos de zapatos hechos con cuero, lo cuál logró gracias a Twitter, al invitar a sus seguidores que calzaran del 8 EU que pasaran a su estudio de tatuajes en West Hollywood ubicado en La Brea Avenue, a recogerlos sin ningún costo. (Von D aclara que se quedó con dos partes de tacones dignos de ser expuestos en un museo, que fueron usados por la mismísima Bettie Page en una sesión fotográfica de Irving Klaw, pero ella no los usa.) Este movimiento resultó ser la semilla para su futura incursión al mundo del calzado.

“Cuando me convertí en vegana, estaba bastante desesperada por poder encontrar zapatos veganos que me gustaran,” ella cuenta.

“No podía, en pleno uso de mis facultades mentales, apoyar una industria que desolla animales vivos. Simplemente no podía. No podía ponérmelos [esos zapatos] en los pies y caminar por ahí, fingiendo que soy activista por los derechos animales. Así que pensé, ‘si nadie lo va a hacer, ¡Entonces yo lo hago’ ”

Ella aclaró que mientras hay, efectivamente, oferta de zapatos veganos allá afuera, no se acomodaban a su estética particular. “No son de estilo hippie,” Von D dice. “Me considero una vegana moderna. “

Su búsqueda eventualmente la puso en la misma órbita que Rebecca Mink, una estilista de moda de las celebridades y pionera en la rama de zapatos de lujo veganos (cuya línea propia homónima, Mink, fue lanzada en el 2000). Mink la conectó a su propia fábrica de confianza en Florencia, Italia, un negocio familiar que no solamente manufactura calzado para marcas de lujo exclusivas (Gucci, Dior y Christian Louboutin, entre ellos) también. Rebecca ya estaba familiarizada con el uso de sustitutos de materiales de derivados animales, cómo manzanas comprimidas para hacer cuero vegano (que además, es amigable con el planeta) e hizo que Kat quisiera incorporarlos en sus propios productos.

Von D Shoes fueron oficialmente lanzados en el Día Mundial del Veganismo — 1ero de noviembre, 2019 — con 13 estilos que son clave para entender sus nombres dentro de la estética visual gótica-punk-combinando-con-pinup. En la mezcla están las botas Slayer de color negro, que llegan arriba de las pantorrillas y tienen un cierre en la parte trasera en forma de cruz ($250 USD, en parte un homenaje a una de sus bandas favoritas, ella dice, y en parte un guiño a la idea del “Vampire Slayer” (cazador de vampiros) o “Slay all day” (“hazlo genial todo el día”).

También, hay unos con exterior en satín negro/interior rojo de cuero llamados Coven I con hebilla y un tacón esculpido pequeño ($180 USD, “Un ‘coven’ (aquelarre) es un grupo de brujas, por lo que creo que es un zapato de hermandad,” ella dice. Ambos estilos se agotaron muy rápido de una manera inesperada — en cuestión de minutos, de acuerdo a Von D

Los Adele ($220), uno de los más populares de los 13 estilos de Von D Shoes que fueron lanzados en el Día Mundial del Veganismo en el 2019, tienen un corte de láser en el material de terciopelo que asemeja una telaraña y unos tacones de 5 pulgadas.

“[Eso] fue algo aterrador para mi,” ella explica, “porque quería tenerlos en línea por un poco más, pero obviamente estábamos emocionados al saber que las personas estaban recibiéndolos tan bien. Recientemente lanzamos nuestra tienda en línea para Europa, y los mismos modelos se agotaron en menos de un día.”

Otros modelos disponibles durante el lanzamiento incluyeron los tacones de dedos abiertos Adele ($220), con corte láser en forma de telaraña en el material de terciopelo (“nombrados así por una de mis musas, diseñadora de sombreros y artista Adele Mildred,” Von D dice), y las zapatillas Calavera, con relieve de patrón de piel de cocodrilo y hechos con cuero vegano de patente ($200, en negro o rosa chicle) adornados con el detalle de un hueso “de perro” hecho de metal, algo caricaturizado, en la parte frontal. Ella le llama al zapato “mi homenaje para todas las mamás de perros por ahí”, dice, agregando que el 100% de las ganancias de este modelo en particular, serán donadas a Best Friends Animal Society, una fundación destinada al rescate de animales sin hogar en Los Angeles.

“Si nadie va a hacerlo...¡Entonces yo lo haré”

Von D explica que los nuevos estilos van a salir tan pronto estén listos (en vez de manejarlo por temporadas), y los agotados serán surtidos de acuerdo a la demanda, en parte para disminuir el impacto ambiental, pero también para librarse de entregas cíclicas. “Eso está pasando en el mundo del maquillaje ahora,” ella agrega. “Todo es sobre lo nuevo, y ahora se agregan temporadas cada…día. No sé si quiero contribuir a eso. [Es por ello también], que con la excepción de pocos estilos que son para alguna caridad o colaboraciones, no planeo hacer nada edición limitada [zapatos]. Estoy dejando mucho de mi en cada diseño, y están destinados a que te duren toda la vida. ¿Por qué querría que estuvieran aquí [hoy] y ya se hayan ido mañana?”

Emmanuelle Rienda, fundadora de la Vegan Fashion Week en Los Angeles, dice que a pesar de que Von D Shoes no está precisamente líder en combinación de temas de ética y sustentabilidad de calzado vegano, sí está al frente cuando se trata de ser una línea lanzada por una celebridad. Y eso, de acuerdo a ella, vale mucho.

Los zapatos GirlSchool combinan el estilo clásico “saddle” en piel vegana con una plataforma de dos pulgadas y tacón de 6.

“Las celebridades veganas tienen un valor en señalar problemas de conciencia social,” Rienda dice. “Que Kat Von D esté haciendo un esfuerzo en tener una cadena de abastecimiento ética es excelente; que ella probando materiales nuevos cómo el cuero de manzanas, que es mucho más sustentable [que otros cueros veganos], es bueno. Estas cosas muestran que ella tiene una gran visión.”

Rienda, quien se convirtió en vegana a la par que Kat Von D Beauty reformulara sus ingredientes en el 2016 para ser totalmente libre de ingredientes de procedencia animal, también señala que el status de celebridad de la tatuadora, fue un gran instrumento para crecer una audiencia [en su momento] para la marca vegana de belleza.

Von D parece estar consiente de manera entusiasta de su poder y responsabilidad cómo celebridad, especialmente tratándose de educación y consciencia sobre algún problema.

“Siento que si tienes la oportunidad de tener una plataforma, ¿Por qué no la usarías para bien? Von D comenta. “Esa es la belleza de las redes sociales. Me encanta aprender y me encanta aprender cuando he cometido un error — no tengo problemas en admitirlo. De hecho, creo que es emocionante para mi [el ser capaz] de mejorarme cómo persona. Se trata de cómo mandas un mensaje hacía el mundo. No tienes que decir, ‘Hey, hazte vegano.’ Puedes decir, Hey, mira lo que estoy haciendo aquí.’ “

Kat Von D dice que no le importa si otras marcas imitan lo que está haciendo con su nueva línea de zapatos veganos. “Quiero que me copien” ella comenta.

“Si todos pudiéramos estar en sintonía, imagina el impacto tan grande y maravilloso que podríamos hacer.”

Además, la tatuadora, estrella de reality, ex-magnate de belleza y fundadora de una línea de calzado vegano, ha dejado en claro que su segundo acto ciertamente no será su último. El mes próximo, el primer sencillo de su álbum debut titulado “Love Made Me Do It” (El Amor Me Hizo Hacerlo”), llegará, seguido del disco entero y un tour internacional programado para otoño. Su esposo, Rafael Reyes (la mitad del dúo electrónico Prayers), saldrá de gira con ella, y su pequeño hijo, Leafar, será parte de la excursión.

“Quiero tener un equipo de puras mujeres para el camino”, dice Von D sobre su tour. “No creo que alguien haya hecho eso antes. Y haremos todo un documental sobre ello.”

TOP de la DECADA 2010

Estos son, en mi opinión, los discos más importantes de la década de los 2010′s:

10.- Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino - Arctic Monkeys - “What do you mean you’ve never seen Blade Runner?”

Tuve la oportunidad de ver en un par de ocasiones a esta banda en vivo esta década y siempre me impresiona la capacidad que tienen de reinventarse con cada nuevo disco que sacan; me quedo con este último porque me parece el mejor y va muy a tono con el discurso de esta época en que se desvanecen los límites entre la ciencia-ficción y la realidad en tantos ámbitos.

9.- El Mal Querer - Rosalía - “Amargas penas te vendo, caramelos también tengo...”

Si alguien está haciendo las cosas bien esta década, es esta morena de voz maravillosa. Quizás sea un poco pronto para calcular los daños de la irrupción de Rosalía, que me tuvo predicando durante el 2018: “¿tienes un segundo para que te hable de Rosalía?”; pero la influencia e impacto estético que ha tenido a nivel global es evidente. Para confeccionar El Mal Querer se junta con El Guincho, uno de los productores más interesantes e innovadores de la década y las consecuencias del giro que le dan al flamenco, son estupendas.

8.- Innerspeaker - Tame Impala - “The only one who’s really judging you is yourself, nobody else...”

Tame Impala nace a principios de la década para darle un nuevo giro al rock psicodélico de estética de caleidoscopio. Con una voz que evoca a Lennon, nos recuerda que hacer música desde casa está en nuestras manos. Si bien el debate sobre cuál es el mejor de los discos que han lanzado esta década sigue abierto, elijo este primer disco porque es el que pone a Australia en el mapa y porque en él es más claro que la base que cimienta las deliciosas interacciones entre los múltiples efectos de las guitarras y el bajo, es la batería. Las canciones de este primer disco son suficientemente ricas sin añadirles la levadura psico-activa de los sintetizadores y la influencia de esta banda va más allá de otras propuestas que adoptan esta estética de caleidoscopio; importante ha sido la capacidad de asociación de sus integrantes con Pond, Mark Ronson, A$AP Rocky, Kali Uchis y un sinfín de artistas innovadores más.

7.- 22, A Million - Bon Iver - “I’ve been sleeping in a stable, mate; not gonna do you no favors...”

Disco brutalmente reconfortante con el que arranca una nueva etapa de Bon Iver, después de que se disolviera en algún sombrío momento de la década. Nos brinda, desde que arranca hasta que termina un revolcón de sonido que consiste en la industrialización del folk y art-pop de su primera etapa. Cuenta con letras más abstractas y arreglos que algo beben de Yeezus y James Blake. No se puede pasar por alto el elaborado simbolismo de la portada del disco y de los nombres de las canciones; encubre un disco brillante con el que otras civilizaciones disfrutarán al descubrirnos.

6.- Salad Days - Mac Demarco - “Goodbye weekend, so long darling, Mac’s been a bad, bad boy...”

Esta década nos trajo a uno de los personajes más geniales y genuinos del rock cervecero, actual bandera de innumerables festivales veraniegos. Joie de vivre. En este disco considero que se plasma el sonido original de ropa vieja enjuagada en psicodelia, construido a partir de un amor por el rock & roll de décadas pasadas, sin dejar de ser un sonido tan fresco como para permear nuevas propuestas. Se acabaron los días de ensalada.

5.- La Fiesta del Rey Drama - Americania - “Necesito tomar aire, no estar solo, hablar de lo que me pasa...”

De la manera más sutil que se haya visto en Caracas, tres amigos experimentan los dolores de tener un corazón puro. Compuestas en esa atmósfera silenciosa de las noches de ardor, estas canciones nacen como una necesidad profunda de expresar lo que se está viviendo. Un disco con un sentido de despedida y es que es una obra con la que recordar que Americania sigue siendo un continente por descubrir.

4.- Channel Orange - Frank Ocean - “Monks in the mosh pit!”

De los negritos más creativos de la década, rompiéndote un montón de esquemas con una voz más sedosa que la de tu querido Romeo Santos. Más sedosa y menos merecedora de ser un guilty pleasure. Un brillante disco que parece consistir en tomas de grabación registradas con naturalidad y que denotan un profundo sentido artístico.

3.- Musas, Vol. 1 & 2 - Natalia Lafourcade de la mano de Los Macorinos

Natalia continúa paseándose río adentro en el homenaje al folclore latinoamericano en que ha convertido su obra esta década, realizando un estudio profundo de los más importantes compositores y rindiéndoles pleitesía reconstruyendo sus canciones. Ambos volúmenes de las Musas son un refresco en la incesante producción de música nueva. Un poquito en nota de reutilización medioambiental, es el mayor provecho que se podía extraer de estas canciones: revivirlas. Inicialmente sería un único disco pero terminaron saliendo tan bien estos experimentos y conversaciones entre músicos, que hubo que quedarse con ambas partes. Tiene un documental preciosísimo en el que se explora la intimidad en que este conjunto de canciones fueron reconcebidas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-9N4kcNpmw

2.- My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West - “Who will survive in America?”

MBDTF no solo establece las pautas de lo que será un ascenso ilimitado del hip-hop esta década, sino que da paso a un montón de artistas que beben de este género, influenciando la mayor parte de la escena mundial. Es difícil concebir la música de gran consumo y concretamente la rama del hip-hop, rap, trap, R&B e incluso pop rock, sin tener en cuenta esta obra maestra de Kanye. Marca además un antes y un después en las sucesivas producciones que nos comparte: los discos dejan de ser mixtapes compuestos por beats más o menos elaborados y juegos de palabras memorables, sino que van con un concepto y una estética disruptivas.

1.- Random Access Memories - Daft Punk - “Give life back to music”

Con el surgir de la Inteligencia Artificial este par de robots desarrollan un soul y una capacidad de asociarse con los humanos más talentosos para regalarnos un maravilloso compilado de recuerdos en forma de canciones.

Sunt fata de 15 ani ce a intretinut relatii sexuale cu fratele sau de 22. Am mers la controlul ginecologic impreuna cu el, si sunt insarcinata. Ma gandesc sa pastrez copilul, iar el vrea sa fugim impreuna si sa il crestem impreuna. Parintiilor nu le pot spune nimic, mama mi-a tinut morala sa nu raman insarcinata pana la 23 de ani, ca si ea, dar chiar imi doresc copilul asta. Il iubesc, nu stiu daca intelegeti. Tata m-ar omori atat pe mine cat si pe fratele meu in bataie daca ar afla. Un sfat pls

Eu zic ca cel mai bine este sa faci avort si sa stai acasa langa ai tai si sa nu mai intretii relatii sexuale cu fratele tau. Dupa fuga ta, ai tai vor suferii, unu la mana si doi la mana, iti strici toata viata. Faza cu chiar imi doresc copilul, nu e ok, pentru ca ai doar 15 ani si va fi super naspa dupa, nu vei avea timp sa-ti termini studiile. #Punk --Pai in principiu, e cel mai bine pentru tine si pentru copil sa faci avort. Ca nu este momentul acum sa faci pasul asta de a avea un copil,pentru ca asta este. Si sunt multe alte chestii de luat in calcul atunci cand iti iei lumea in cap.Plus ca relatia asta dintre tine si fratele tau nu e una okay, si fratele tau fiind mai mare ar trebui sa fie constient de asta.#Ad --Parerea mea este sa faci avort si sa iei distanta de fratele tau pt ca din moment ce ati intretinut relatii sexuale relatia voastra frate-sora nu va mai fi niciodata la fel. Daca fugi cu el si nasti exista 80% sanse ca el sa-si gaseasca pe alta si sa te lase. El e tanar, tu esti sora lui si el a vrut doar sex, acum vrea sa plece cu tine, dar din moment ce e tanar o sa caute o femeie matura la un momentdat. Nu o adolescenta care e sora lui si mai are si un copil cu el. Daca alegi sa fugi o sa traiesi o viata mizerabila, iar copilul este posibil sa se nasca cu o boala rara fiind cu un membru al familiei. Uite, eu de exemplu, am o prietena care are o prietena care are un copil cu verișorul ei, sunt turci si la ei e normal, copilul s-a nascut handicapat. Mai bine pastrezi distanta fata de fratele tau si sa pastrati secretul.#Jess--viata ta nu e un basm. nu poti fugi cu fratele tau pentru ca ai ramas gravida. gravida cu fratele tau. atunci cand doua rude, mai ales primare, fac copii una cu cealalta, sunt sanse trecute de 90% ca acea sarcina sa fie una esuata sau ca acel copil sa se nasca cu handicapuri majore, si aici nu vorbesc decat de maini si picioare intoarse pe dos, ci si de boli si afectiuni mintale grave. nu cred ca vrei sa dai nastere unui copil care n-o sa aiba nicio sansa la o viata normala. in general, cand sunt cazuri de genul frate-sora si afla lumea, toti spun ca fata a fost violata. vrei sa se auda asta despre fratele tau? sau, familia voastra o sa fie privita cu niste ochi atat de reci si plini de ura. nu suntem in filme, si cum ti-am spus, viata nu-i un basm. oricat as vrea sa te incurajam acum, sa iti spunem ca totul va fi bine... ai facut o prostie mai mare decat casa in care stai. plus ca... ai 15 ani, multi inainte. vrei un copil la varsta asta? sa lasam aspectul ca e copilul fratelui tau. vrei un copil la varsta asta? tu stii ce inseamna un copil? cate responsabilitati? pe scurt: cand prietenele tale o sa mearga la ore, tu o sa il asculti pe bebe cum plange, cand prietenele tale o sa iasa la terasa cu prietenii, iubitii, tu o sa stai in casa si-o sa speli la haine, o sa schimbi scutece. cand prietenele tale vor merge in club, tu vei plange de nervi ca nu poti dormi. cand ele o sa isi intemeieze o familie, o sa se casatoreasca, tu o sa ai deja un copil de 7-8 ani pe care il vei duce la scoala. cu tot regretul iti spun, dar nu e normal. speram ca vei face alegerea corecta si vei avorta. e spre binele tau.#Oanita

Nicolás Igarzábal

31 años - periodista

tequierocomoabrigo.tumblr.com

¿Cuándo escuchaste hablar de Internet por primera vez? En el año 98/99, por un amigo más grande que yo, que tenía internet en la casa vía dial-up y, me contaba cosas que, ¡wow! parecían dignas de la NASA.

¿Qué fue lo primero que buscaste? Cosas de bandas que me gustaban en la adolescencia, generalmente punks o grunge, como Attaque 77, Ramones, Nirvana... Y mucho "Britney Spears naked".

¿En qué plataforma empezaste a chatear? ICQ, a full. ¡Ih-uh! Y también recuerdo el mIRC y muchas noches de meterme en las salas de chat (qué viejazo sonó eso) de Ciudad y Starmedia. Las conversaciones arrancaban preguntándome "¿sos H o M?" (hombre o mujer) porque me ponía "Igar" de nick.

¿Te acordás tu número de ICQ? Sí: 100906086. La regla mnemotécnica era 100 + "las medidas de una modelo casi perfecta" (90-60... 86).

¿Tenías fotolog? ¿Cuál era? Sí, muchos años, casi toda la etapa final de mi secundario. Era /igar, creo que todavía está online. Lo jubilé cuando empezaron a aparecer los blogs, pero me dio muchas alegrías. Recuerdo el famoso "efeame" (por los F/F) y el truquito ese de copiar y pegar los comments, cuando tenías muchos, porque para poder tener espacio para más cantidad de comments, tenías que ser premium o alguna gilada así. También tenía una especie de Diary Land, que era un diario de tu vida, antes de los blogs. Ahí escribía todo lo que me pasaba en el colegio y mis primeras crónicas de recitales en la era pre-Cromañón.

¿Quién fue tu primer amigo de Internet? Mmmm, no recuerdo el primero-primero, pero me acuerdo de personas que hablé durante años sin conocernos, como una chica que tenía una página de humor (hecha con Front Page) llamada GARCHOFLA, un amigo que cruzaba en recitales de Cadena Perpetua y Bulldog (y nos seguimos viendo) y un Ignacio Igarzábal que era de Entre Ríos, y nos agregamos a ICQ por esas cosas inexplicables de ponerte un día a buscar gente con tu mismo apellido a ver si aparecía algún primo lejano.

¿Qué fue lo más insólito que te pasó? Son demasiadas cosas, ahora que lo pienso, pero me quedo con tres de la época de los blogs, como conseguir laburo gracias a un posteo del Día del Periodista entrevistando a muchos periodistas que admiraba, que Andrés Calamaro me bardee en los comments bajo seudónimos que se inventaba antes de tener Twitter, y que el músico de una banda me cuente personalmente sobre un posteo muy gracioso que leyó en un blog, sin saber que era mío. Ah, ¡y que un músico conocido hable en una nota de la Rolling Stone sobre un post donde yo lo trolleaba!

¿Qué es lo más preciado que te dio Internet? Horas y horas de diversión, de data importante, de contactos, de conocer gente, de descubrir bandas, de ver pelis y series, de entrevistar a músicos que admiro un montón. Es una fuente inagotable, lo más parecido al infinito que conozco.

¿Te googleaste alguna vez? Muchas. Siempre es divertido para hacer después de una cantidad de meses o años. Siempre aparece algún equis bardeándote o elogiándote en alguna web perdida, gente famosa con tu mismo apellido (Rochi Igarzábal, a quien tuve que ponerme a investigar quién era porque muchos adolescentes me escribían para preguntarme si era su hermano, WTF?) o cosas locas que escribiste vos mil años atrás y ni te acordabas, pero por alguna razón extraña se reflotaron en Google, y decís: "¿Esto lo escribí yo?".

¿En cuántas redes sociales estás? ¿Cuál es tu preferida? Facebook, Twitter e Instagram. En Facebook son todas fotos de bebés y perritos en adopción, en Twitter son todos irónicos y se creen los más pillos, y en Instagram son todos cool y están siempre de viaje. Me quedo con Instagram, para viajar un rato por el mundo con desconocidos, dado que no me voy de vacaciones hace varios años.

¿Tenés una rutina en Internet? Sí, tengo personalizado para que cuando abra el Chrome, se me pongan mi correo, mi Facebook, Twitter, Whattsap Web y la página donde laburo, como por arte de magia. Así arranco mi día. Cafecito + internet.

¿Cuánto tiempo de tu día le dedicás a Internet? Entre 8 y 10 horas, seguro. Ya voy casi una hora respondiendo esto, flasheando recuerdos lindos y yéndome por las ramas, así que...

8,9, and 11

8. Padge’s theme song: ‘Think the World’ by ALL, off the Punk-O-Rama 4 anthology. He declared this to be his personal them song when he was 17 and now can’t believe what a corny, angsty teen he was. (this has not diminished his affection for the song.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txzOzKvooV4&list=PL554721417D264FB4&index=8

9. Voice claim: His canon voice is more or less a 90′s-era Corey Feldman. Think of Ricky from ‘The ‘Burbs’ or Donatello from the live action TMNT movies and that’s pretty close.

11. Hobbies: Old video games. Padge used to be more of an all-purpose gamer when he was human, but his chunky three-fingered hands make most modern controllers pretty uncomfortable, but hand him a joystick and 1-3 buttons and it’s on. he also really enjoys stargazing and astronomy, but living in the city makes it tough to indulge that passion. Padge is a disaster in the kitchen but loves to grill. Anything that can be made outside with an open flame is great in his book.

Sounds of the Galaxy, one of my most fondly looked up projects, is at its heart, pure pop culture appreciation. It’a a mashup of Star Wars and Music art. I created about 17 Star Wars themed parody covers based on popular album covers.

The whole project started from an off-hand joke from the Family Guy: Blue Harvest Star Wars special where Cleveland Brown as R2-D2 expresses his desire to listen to “Tatooine, Wind & Fire.” “That’s The Way of the Galaxy” became the first in the collection based on that joke. next came a slew of other ideas including

“R2-D2: Droiditude” based on Raditiude by Weezer

“E-M-P-I-R-E” based on Epitaph Records’ “Punk-O-Rama vol. 8″ compilation album

“Bad” based on Micheal Jackson’s album of the same name.

“Republic Enemy: Fear of a Space Station” Based on Public Enemy’s “Fear of a Black Nation” (A personal favorite)

and finally “The Separatist Underground” based on Andy Warhol’s famous artwork for The Velvet Underground

Kuala Lumpur nightlife: A guide to the city’s best bars

(CNN)It's when hot days give way to balmy nights that Kuala Lumpur really comes alive.

Following global trends, a new crop of dedicated cocktail bars -- many conceived in the modern speakeasy style -- are especially popular right now, offering up twists on classics and new inventions with Southeast Asian flavors.

There are also sky bars with city views, dance clubs, craft beer bars and live music bars.

Whether you're looking for a laid-back lounge or a party, here are some of the best places to spend your nights in Kuala Lumpur.

FOR COCKTAILS

PS150

This Chinatown cocktail bar sits in a colonial shophouse that was once a brothel.

It's all very "In the Mood for Love" with a tinge of "Mad Men" -- swanky, illicit and whimsical all at once.

A vintage toyshop facade obscures the entrance.

Walk down a corridor lined with lovers' booths and an earthy courtyard outfitted in wood and leather before entering PS150's beating heart: the neon-lit bar.

The sign reads "Chee Cheong Kai," the Cantonese name for Petaling Street, referring to the tapioca mills that once occupied the area.

PS150 co-founder Angel Ng spent some soul-searching months living in Chinatown in her mid-20s, so it's a place close to her heart.

The cocktail menu is cheekily inscribed in composition books customarily used by Malaysian school kids.

Try the vodka-based Salty Chinaman, the Lychee No. 3 Martini or the Assamboi (preserved plum) Margarita.

On weekends, entry is restricted when it gets crowded, so make reservations.

PS150, 150 Petaling Street, Chinatown, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; +603 2022 2888

Omakase + Appreciate

O+A recently celebrated its fourth year in operation. The only bar from Malaysia on Drinks International's list of Asia's 50 Best Bars of 2016, it's in the basement of an office building behind a door stamped with a "No Admittance" sign that looks like it might lead to the utility room.

It fits just 20-25 people comfortably, but there's no limit on entry and no dress code.

The bartenders each have their own cocktail menu to encourage a loyal following.

The menu changes every few weeks, but the Jungle Bird remains.

A concoction of rum, Campari, pineapple juice, lime juice and sugar syrup, it was originally created in Malaysia in the mid-1970s at the old Hilton's Aviary Bar.

"Everyone knows Singapore Sling. Now we want to promote the Jungle Bird," O+A co-founder Shawn Chong says.

The bar is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Omakase + Appreciate, Lower Ground, Ming Annexe, 9 Jalan Ampang, 50100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; +603 2022 2238

JungleBird

At first, you might be tempted to call this a tiki bar, but there's nothing tiki-tacky about it.

There are no drinks with pink umbrellas, no hula girls, no one taking liberties with a ukelele.

There are bamboo and rattan furnishings, wallpapers of green palms, and bartenders sporting Hawaiian shirts -- but all tasteful and understated, balanced by sleek lines and contemporary elements.

Joshua Ivanovic, an English transplant who's lived in Malaysia for years, co-founded JungleBird and describes it as "a tropical house of rum inspired by Old Malaya".

But there is one standout drink not made with rum, and it's called Closed on Mondays.

It's made of tequila, coconut milk, salted egg yolk, red chili and curry leaf syrup, and is inspired by the salted-egg squid -- legendary among both locals and tourists -- at Jalan Alor's Wong Ah Wah restaurant.

On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, DJs play live sets of funk, soul, rockabilly, Motown, disco, or hip hop.

JungleBird, 15 Plaza Damansara, Jalan Medan Setia 1, Damansara Heights, 50490 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; +603 2011 7715

Coley

Nestled in the back of DR.Inc cafe in Bangsar, this sliver of a cocktail bar is a neighborhood gem.

It also seems to be a bartenders' favorite.

CK Kho, Coley's unassuming founder, is a stalwart of the local bar scene with more than 15 years of experience.

He named the bar after Ada Coleman, the legendary creator of the Hanky Panky cocktail who made her name at the London Savoy's American Bar in the early 20th century.

Coley has a retro-modern vibe and sits somewhere between a bar and a cafe -- airy but intimate, buzzy but laid-back.

There's no pretense or fantasy here.

"I wanted to set up a bar where people could feel free to hang out at anytime," CK says.

Try the Saffron Sour, Kopi Old Fashioned, gin with coconut water, or whiskey with bubble tea.

Coley is closed on Sundays.

Coley, 8 Jalan Kemuja, Bangsar, 59000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; +6019 270 9719

FOR THE VIEW

Heli Lounge Bar

The working helipad on the rooftop of Menara KH moonlights as a bar from 6 p.m. every evening -- unless it rains.

You can enjoy a 360-degree view of the city as the sun sets, unfettered by even safety barriers.

Access the helipad via the companion bar on the tower's 34th floor, where you must buy at least a drink before heading the two floors up.

On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays after 9 p.m., bottle service -- or a minimum spend of 100 ringgit per person (around $23) -- applies to access the helipad.

During this time, there is also a strict dress code: no shorts or tank tops for men, and no flip flops.

Heli Lounge Bar, Level 34, Menara KH, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; +603 2110 5034

Coppersmith

Coppersmith inhabits the shadowed walkways between a wine bar and a restaurant in the imposing Troika towers.

It's small but stately, with high ceilings and full-length windows with a view of the Petronas twin towers.

Uniquely, the copper bar is built facing the wall -- accessible to the odd patron who may fancy making his own drink, with the guidance of a bartender.

The cocktails here look less like cocktails than works of art, each one topped with an edible decorative complement.

Copper Fairies, a mixture of tequila, blueberry and black pepper syrup and sparkling wine, is crowned with an intricate salted bancaramel structure.

The Banana Rama is banana beer mixed with Ron Zacapa rum, topped with dried banana dipped in dark chocolate.

Coppersmith also serves small bites, such as foie gras curry puff and smoked-eel doughnut with caviar cream.

Coppersmith, 23rd floor, Tower B, The Troika, 19 Persiaran KLCC, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; +603 2162 0886

FOR CLUBBING

TREC

TREC (Taste, Relish, Experience, Celebrate) is the largest entertainment hub in Kuala Lumpur, with clubs, bars, restaurants, and live music and comedy venues.

Its most famous resident is Zouk -- which, according to several locals, is still one of the best places to go clubbing in the city.

The superclub has lasted 13 years by constantly revamping itself, and now has a whopping 11 rooms.

TREC is also home to Como, a Spanish restobar which hosts live music and DJ sets.

IKKI, a speakeasy-style bar with the look of an English gentleman's club, serves Japanese-influenced cocktails and food.

There's also iPong KL, a beer pong bar, and Friendscino, a darts bar.

TREC, 436 Jalan Tun Razak, 50400 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; +603 2110 5095

Ky KL

For a more low-key clubbing experience, there's the basement of the Mandarin Oriental.

Originally founded in Singapore, Ky means "vibration" in Japanese and was conceived as a place for underground music aficionados.

It sports a minimalist luxe-industrial vibe and plays house, techno, hip hop, R&B, afro funk or disco, depending on the day.

It hosts both international and local talent, and has seen the likes of the UK's Nick Warren and Detroit's Octave One perform.

Ky, the main room, is open on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11 p.m.

Ren, a smaller room that also doubles as a cocktail bar in the early evenings, is open from Tuesdays to Saturdays from 6 p.m.

Club Ky KL, Basement, Mandarin Oriental, off Jalan Pinang, 50088 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; +6012 921 1730

FOR CRAFT BEER

Taps Beer Bar

The craft beer scene here is still a nascent one, but Taps leads the way with the largest range of craft beers in the country.

Its selection spans America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Southeast Asia.

It also has 15 beers on tap at any one time.

"We'd been wanting to open a bar because we drank a lot as a family," Alvin Lim says.

He's one of five cousins who founded the place in 2011, and their uncle and his friends make up the resident live band that plays Thursday to Saturday evenings.

Those new to craft beer can order a beer paddle for a taster of three tap varieties.

Taps also organizes the annual Better Beer Festival in October.

Taps Beer Bar, A-0-3 One Residency, 1 Jalan Nagasari, 50200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; +603 2110 1560

FOR LIVE MUSIC

The Bee

The Bee has long been committed to hosting an eclectic mix of live music acts, both local and international.

"We want good music, period," says Lim Kok Kean, a.k.a. Bunga, of music collectives Indiego and Twilight Actiongirl.

He's one of a group of creatives behind The Bee and the annual Urbanscapes music and arts festival, which takes place May 5 to 21 this year.

Recent guests at The Bee include The Temper Trap and Japanese psychedelic punk band Bo Ningen.

A recent makeover gave it a bigger stage, a better sound system and a new DJ console.

It also gave it a more rock 'n' roll edge, with neon lyrics emblazoned on walls and a line-up of vintage pinball machines.

The Bee also hosts quiz nights, pun competitions, swing dancing and sneaker-swap meets.

When there are no events, The Bee operates as usual as a restaurant and bar.

The Bee, 36B Block C, Level G2, Publika, Jalan Dutamas 1, Solaris Dutamas, Sri Hartamas, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; +603 6201 8577

Bobo KL

No Black Tie and Alexis Bistro Ampang are the big names synonymous with live jazz in the city, but more intimate venues have popped up recently.

Bobo KL's upstairs piano lounge is an exercise in minimalist elegance, with earthy hues of gray concrete and warm wood balanced by sleek marble tops and plush drapery.

It feels like a private living room, with the small stage hardly removed from the audience.

Guest musicians perform on Friday and Saturday nights.

On other nights except Mondays, the resident pianist and singer David Gomez takes over.

Bobo KL serves Modern European food and dessert and a decent selection of wines.

Bobo KL, 65-1 Jalan Bangkung, Bangsar, 59100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; +603 2092 5002
