Well, it’s New Year’s Eve, and we are having the first of what I hope will be many NYE parties. My grandparents, Nanana y Pachu, siempre had NYE parties. Even after he passed away, she continued to have NYE parties until just a few years ago. I think she was already in her 90s [...]

Best song of 1968 in 2009 – Las Ovejitas by Los Salvajes. A song about counting sheep. Killer rhythm, awesome guitar solo, spacey intro and outro, my daughter loves it and loves to sing along to the chorus and how it turns around at the end from no to si. Here’s a good version [...] I’m really digging estos fake Beatles. Rompan Todo. This is such a rocker. I don’t know when the video was made, but I like it. They have an interesting concept – Uruguay band, writes own music, but with a strict Beatles vocabulary, titles records and songs in Spanish but sings in English. [...] Peruvian rock and roll. This is where I would start the histories of rock in Latin America and rock en Español. They were around for only a couple of years, released six 45s and then stopped playing. Here’s the wiki entry, it’s concise and the point. And listen to Demolicion, a song [...] Not sure what happened to Week 161… but… Talk about hidden gems. Los Albas were a somewhat cheesy rock band from Spain in the late 60s early 70s. They had a solid beat, but they favored chorused vocals with the cheesiest of pop melodies. Like a lot of the best/worst pop music their stuff [...] I’ve been diving into the darker corners of rock en español. Famous Jonny Mambo asked me to do a one time set of rock psicodelico en español on his Mojo Ballroom show on WCOM. So in preparation I’ve been digging deep into the dusty sections of my collection and crawling through the greasy corners [...] We were talking about how we store our music. We currently have vinyl and CDs in several locations throughout the house. There is also a crate full of cassettes in one of the closets. There are several computers with almost, but not quite the same selection of MP3s in them. And several Ipods also [...] Went to see Leonard Cohen. Had tremenda noche. Amazing really. Like a wish upon a star. Left la chiquita con Grandma and picked up mi chuchin from work and off to Durham we went. Had never been to Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC), but had directions and we found it easily, parkeo facilito, [...] I posted last week on time, and i read all the posts this week, and there were several I meant to go back and listen to things, post comments, etc. I still think I will, but now suddenly it’s Friday and I haven’t even thought of anything to write about. But don’t worry, I’m [...] I haven’t been a fan for a long time. I used to be a Beatles fan when I was a kid. I was a Rolling Stones fan in college. Then it was Sonic Youth which I think was the last band about which I could fairly call myself to have been a fan. Let [...] |
