The day approaches... next Friday 24th will be "Red Nose Day" in the UK and "Love Actually" mini-sequel will be screened. Here's the trailer... and there's a second trailer for their American screening.
"Love Actually" tendrá su secuela, 14 años después. No será realmente una segunda película, sino un corto que se emitirá en un evento benéfico en la TV británica el 24 de marzo. Su director Richard Curtis se encargará de dirigirlo. Y contará con la presencia de: Liam Neeson, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, su hijastro en la película, Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Colin Firth, Martine McCutcheon, Andrew Lincoln, Lucia Moniz, Bill Nighy, Marcus Brigstocke, Olivia Olson, Laura Linney, Chiwetel Ejiofor y Rowan Atkinson. No está en la lista Emma Thompson ni, obviamente, su marido infiel Alan Rickman, que murió el año pasado. Tampoco estará Martín Freeman. Se grabará esta semana. Impacientes por verlo... aprovechamos para recordar su banda sonora y la versión acapella del "GOD ONLY KNOWS" de los Beach Boys con el que acaba el film.
"Love Actually" will have a sequel, 14 years later. It won't be a second film really, but a short film for charity shown on British TV on March 24th. Its director Richard Curtis will be directing. It will feature: Liam Neeson, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, su hijastro en la película, Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Colin Firth, Martine McCutcheon, Andrew Lincoln, Lucia Moniz, Bill Nighy, Marcus Brigstocke, Olivia Olson, Laura Linney, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Rowan Atkinson. Emma Thompson isn't on the list, and obviously, neither her unfaithful husband, Alan Rickman, who died last year. Another that won't be either is Martin Freeman. It will be shot this week. Looking forward to see it.... we use this post to remember its original soundtrack and the acapella version of Beach Boys' "GOD ONLY KNOWS", which ends the film.

Vamos a comenzar una serie de entradas dedicadas a canciones veraniegas, que no, del verano, que publicaremos a lo largo de este agosto que empieza. Y empezamos con un grupo que hizo infinidad de canciones de inspiración veraniega, porque ya el propio nombre del grupo lleva connotación veraniega: The Beach Boys. Aquí os dejamos varios de sus temas.
We're going to start a series of posts devoted to summer songs, not summer hits, which we'll publish throughout this starting August. We start with a band that composed summer inspired songs, because even their own name has a summer connotation: The Beach Boys. Here are some of their songs.

Abba tuvo éxito masivo en todo el mundo, el país que más se resistió fue los EE.UU. Ellos comentan porque no actuaron mucho por allí, sólo hicieron una gira por esos lugares en el '79. Abba se expandía por el mundo gracias a los videos que emitían por la tele, pero los EE.UU. son muy grandes. En el '78 hicieron una campaña de promoción de cara al disco "THE ALBUM", e hicieron un especial de TV con su amiga Olivia Newton-John. Digo amiga, porque habían coincidido con ella en la Eurovisión'74, Olivia por Gran Bretaña competía con "LONG LIVE LOVE" ("Larga vida al amor"). En el '78, Olivia estaba en pleno bombazo de "GREASE" por lo que un especial con ella podría dar ser una buena forma de darse a conocer allí. Andy Gibb, hermano fallecido de los Bee Gees estaba en el programa también. Incluimos hoy videos de ese especial.
Abba had massive success worlwide, the country which appeared most resistant was the U.S.A. They say because they didn't play mucho round there, they only did a tour there in '79. Abba was famous around the world thanks to the videos broadcasted on TV, but the U.S.A. are too big. In '78, they did a promotional campaign for "THE ALBUM" and appeared on a TV special together with their friend Olivia Newton-John. I say friend, because they had entered together in competition on Eurovision'74, Olivia for Great Britain with "LONG LIVE LOVE". In '78, Olivia had great success with "GREASE", so a TV-special with her could be a good way of becoming known there. Andy Gibb, dead brother of Bee Gees was also in the programme, too. We include videos from this special today.

El grupo californiano que representa al verano, al windsurf y los años '60, los Beach Boys, han inspirado a muchos compositores... (Benny Andersson los incluye como grupo referente) y su canción "GOD ONLY KNOWS" ("Sólo Dios sabe") [1966] fue elegido, hace pocos meses, uno de los temas más importantes de la historia de la música pop en una encuesta hecha por El País entre los más relevantes cantantes y compositores hispanoamericanos. Aquí lo traemos por su conexión con el cine, donde aparece como final de "LOVE ACTUALLY" ("Realmente amor")
The Californian group that represents summer, windsurfing and the '60s, the Beach Boys, have inspired many composers... (Benny Andersson includes them as a reference band) and their song "GOD ONLY KNOWS" [1966] was elected, a few months ago, one of the most important songs in the history of pop music in a questionnaire done by the newspaper El Pais among the most relevant Spanish & Latinamerican singers and composers. We bring it here for its connections with cinema, where it appears as the final credits for "LOVE ACTUALLY".
