Mexicans trying to land an UFO, or the Epic Performance of Nortec @ The Opening of the Pan-American Games

Watch Bostich + Fussible stealing the show, the first piece of music is Polaris (special remix for this ceremony) and Tijuana Sound Machine, which is the flagsong of the Collective.  

For people who don’t know them, they’re basically Krafwerk doing Mexican music.

Nortec Collective - Polaris by NovaBright

And the original mix seems to be a little bit different from the Pan-American one since perfectly fit on my set of apocalyptic music.

Refresh

Toreros Muertos

Well, the idea is more or less the same misskprimary via FlickrThis antique band is probably the most epic band of the 80's in Spain since all of them are notable trolls, this song is a sample:
Mi agüita amarilla (My lil' yellow water) is the water cycle explain it very thoroughly where the starting point it's a drunktard taking a leak, just figure it out guys...
So you guys probably asked themselves why we posted this song while we promise a full week enterely devoted to Día de Muertos or Halloween (the same thing), well, we do it because they're los toreros muertos, the dead bullfighters...
(...)
Ok, we will post more about día de muertos or Halloween tomorrow, then, enjoy the music of these geniuses.

Víctimas del Doctor Cerebro

Oh hai der Getty Images via @daylife

OK guys, our next band for this Halloween or Día de Muertos weekend, Víctimas del Doctor Cerebro was one of the most creative bands of the 90’s, maybe the most creative. This is their first hit: El esqueleto. Basically depicts one the day in the life of a unemployed. This poor boy is only asking for a opportunity and while he receive one, he dances making sound his skeleton like a drum. Surely this boy need a quiropractor urgently.
Check at 2:50-2:57, major lolz happen there ;)

Bon y los enemigos del silencio

Yep, "Bon & The Silence's Enemies" this is a such particular mexican band from the darkest 80's, just watch them, everything on them shout it.
Also note this: They don't have a drumer in the band, the beat was programed in a the beatbox as you can check in this video, Voy a buscar, (I gonna search). The lyrics are epics.
Voy a buscar la paz interior en tu interior (I gonna search my inner peace in your inside)
te voy a partir en dos (I gonna tear you apart in two)
Y te voy a preguntar a dónde vives y cuántos años tienes  (and I gonna ask you where do you live and what's your age)
y por qué eres así conmigo (and why you're such like this with me)
Voy a buscar el hilo negro en tus medias (I gonna search the black thread in your stockings)
y el hilo blanco en tus guantes (and the white thread in your gloves)
Voy a pedirte tres deseos (I gonna ask you for three wishes)
a ver si me los cumples (to watch if you're able to fulfill them)
voy a gritar tu nombre (I gonna shout your name)
¡Hasta que muera! (till I die!)

P.D: The gurl is not a gurl...

Amores perros

One of my favorite songs of all times is this one, Lucha de gigantes (Gigants' struggle) by one Spanish band named Nacha Pop, my generation cry every time that they heard it...
This tune was used for the soundtrack of one of the best movies on Earth...

Psicodelic riffs? In my rock en español?

Yep, bros, it's more likely than yo think. Since Mexico had a very cute and nice version of Woodstock named "Avándaro" (Valle de Bravo, wey), a lot of bands emerged from this festival, like Three souls in my mind, Love and Peace,Trolebús and (of course) Love Army, whose frontman was named Pájaro Alberto, he came from the happiest place on Earth (Tijuana) and certanly the guy was too advanced with respect to his time, just check it fellas.

Pájaro Alberto, Viaje fantástico (Fantastic trip).

 

The bitching rumor of the day: Gustavo Cerati has passed away

Wow, Zemanta works fast. Image via WikipediaTwitter give us something to rejoice today, according to a report of a Costa Rica's newspaper (Srsly), Gustavo Cerati, frontman of Soda, allegedly passed away today. So, to celebrate this fucking scam, we ganna post this Soda Estéreo classic named De música ligera (Of light music). Enjoy it.

Green, supergreen

Charly García delivering lulz while he supports Chile Wikipedia (c)

In one of his best songs, Charly García assumed that he, when he was a child, "never was so smart" and also "played the piano like an animal".

That was a utterly lie. In fact he was the typical überkid able to found an off-key string of a guitar just hearing it. As a young man he became a rockstar and today he is a legend. No, srly.

He's not Bob Dylan because he's more musician than poet, this don't means that his songs lack of poetry, the point is that his music has a lot of humor. You surely note it seeing  his mustache, one half is blonde and the another one is chesnut. One half of his being is awesome, the another one goes nuts. 

One of my favorite songs is this one, Estoy verde y no me dejan salir  (I'm green and they don't let me go out, supergreen anyone?). When a boy isn't  mature enough to go out and have fun at Latin America he's green, like the green firewood that cannot burn well. This is the metaphor that Charly García alludes with this song.

His bands were Sui Generis in 1974; Porsuigieco, La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros, and his solo career began in1982. Estoy verde... is then his first hit.

I hope you like it. This is a classic.
