The band can be heard playing their hit singles 'Genius Of Love' and 'Wordy Rappinghood' as well as signature covers of Al Green's 'Take Me To The River' And Hot Chocolate's 'You Sexy Thing'. The performance was recorded shortly after the September 11th tragedy, converting the stress and paranoia of the times into positive energy.<br /><br />Tom Tom Club was formed by Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth in 1981. Graduates from the Rhode Island School of Design, they moved to New York City where they founded the Talking Heads as a trio with David Byrne in 1975. In early 1981, the Talking Heads took a hiatus after five years of touring internationally and four studio albums. Chris and Tina began the Tom Tom Club and signed with Chris Blackwell and Island Records.<br /><br />"Genius Of Love" has been sampled since the early days of Hip Hop by a wide variety of artists including, Grandmaster Flash, Mariah Carey, Tupac Shakur and T.I. The second disc on this release features prominent Latin alternative artists like Ozomatli, Money Mark, Senor Coconut and The Pinker Tonestackling the track.<br /><br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F8115677"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F8115677" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="81" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/because/genius-of-love-senor-coconut-2">Tom Tom Club 'Genius of Live' Señor Coconut remix</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/because">Because Music</a></span>Amylu Meneseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508349151449528056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78481442517133610.post-87521613352828274152011-01-09T13:31:00.000-08:002011-01-09T13:53:34.397-08:00ARI UP (The Slits) Birthday Benefit Memorial<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjti8cyGnaMsdoXxIqjd-E62vBB2pdHUpdjjmlHUnxtvLIjnsWcyPfdgmPMKJxZzXMEkmqxfFb4gYSOQPs2QmI7uhriZJFjTw7131kGJ1RF8zLMnpW9U5ZLiQ-5OD9kzJnHQO0PA_lj8mE/s1600/TheSlits.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 323px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjti8cyGnaMsdoXxIqjd-E62vBB2pdHUpdjjmlHUnxtvLIjnsWcyPfdgmPMKJxZzXMEkmqxfFb4gYSOQPs2QmI7uhriZJFjTw7131kGJ1RF8zLMnpW9U5ZLiQ-5OD9kzJnHQO0PA_lj8mE/s400/TheSlits.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560303001430090530" border="0" /></a>I was fortunate enough to meet ARI UP (AKA Ariane Forster -TheSlits/Madussa/TrueWarriors) last year The Slits played a reunion show @ Webster Hall.

Please donate<p><a href="http://dougsakmann.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/spliff2_1_1_2011.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-602" title="spliff2_1_1_2011" src="http://dougsakmann.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/spliff2_1_1_2011.jpg?w=300&h=168" alt="" height="168" width="300" /></a><br />back in July of 2010, a <a href="http://www.suspension.org/hooklife/car-accident/">terrible car accident</a> severely injured several members our friends in the <a href="http://www.disgracelandfamily.com/upcoming">Disgraceland Hook Squad</a>. Thankfully Robby, Brandon and Jill have all recovered. However Arwen “Spliff” Rosa, the father of Disgraceland is still in need of constant medical care and rehabilitation.</p> <p>Spliff and Disgraceland have always been there to work with us on the live shows with the NYC Zombie Crawl as well many other amazing events. Spliff has done so much for the suspension and sideshow communities over the years and he needs our help now more than ever! Below is info on the situation as well as updates as of January 1st 2011; even if you can donate $10 every little bit helps! Spliff’s wife Jill is about 8 weeks away from having their baby on top of all this and they need to get back to NYC, we need to raise $20,000 ASAP!!</p> <p><a rel="home" href="http://www.arwenandjill.com/">CLICK HERE TO DONATE RIGHT NOW!!</a></p> <p><a href="http://dougsakmann.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/spliff_1_1_2011.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-603" title="spliff_1_1_2011" src="http://dougsakmann.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/spliff_1_1_2011.jpg?w=224&h=300" alt="" height="300" width="224" /></a></p> <p>On their way from Texas to California, Arwen Rosa and his wife Jill were involved in a very serious car accident. Arwen was rendered unconscious and was airlifted to a hospital. Robby was also airlifted to the same hospital, with a collapsed lung. Jill, who is pregnant with their child, has recovered, however Arwen is still in need of constant medical care and rehabilitation.</p> <p>From Jill – “His brain is functioning very well. He knows who we are and what we do. He remembers all of our friends, family, places we’ve been… Of course every now and then we still notice glitches. After all he did sustain a traumatic brain injury. He still doesn’t have much of a voice due to his tracheotomy, but we do communicate pretty well. As far as movement, he’s recently been moving his right arm. Not his fingers yet, but shoulder, elbow and wrist. He’s able to raise his arm enough to adjust his glasses on his nose. All of this is great news. Now for not so great. Arwen’s immune system is not working well. Right now he is in ICU with pneumonia for the 3rd time in 4 months. He’s had a very high fever and his white blood cells aren’t able to fight the infection. On the 28th he got a blood transfusion to help.”</p> <p>Also, soon Jill will be caring for her husband and their new born baby, Odessa. She is due Early Spring 2011. Because of this, it is imperative that she and Arwen move back home to New York. (The two of them have been in Odessa and then Lubbock in Texas since the wreck happened while in route from Houston to California). Although they have been fortunate to have many visitors and financial support, it just wont be enough once their baby is born. Back in New York they both have family and a large support system.</p> <p>From Jill – “Arwen is not getting the care he needs out here and there’s only a couple people who can physically help us. In New York we’ve got family, support system, lots of resources, everything we need. Not to mention our Baby girl is due in about 8 weeks! I have been trying to look into medical foundations and charities so far with no luck. Please help if you can.”</p> <p>Because Arwen’s condition is still so severe, the only way to transport him home is by medical air transportation. Yes, this endeavor is huge and expensive. With all the care he needs the trip will cost $20,000 and need to be arranged quickly. Once the call comes in to say the bed is available they will only have 96 hours to make it from Odessa to New York. The costs do not end there, as medical care extends beyond transportation.</p> <p><a rel="home" href="http://www.arwenandjill.com/">CLICK HERE TO DONATE RIGHT NOW!!</a></p> <p><a href="http://dougsakmann.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/spliff_car_1_1_2011.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-604" title="spliff_car_1_1_2011" src="http://dougsakmann.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/spliff_car_1_1_2011.jpeg?w=300&h=225" alt="" height="225" width="300" /></a></p>Amylu Meneseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508349151449528056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78481442517133610.post-10090474701353973442011-01-04T07:31:00.000-08:002011-01-04T13:51:57.523-08:00Best of BOOTIE 2010 Mix Download it or DIE!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ExQFhbtV9MCF1liIPl_22qnT2QN-wBDtJY_zqRbG1bJIBI3sHjnd5UutgHsqW0OaXAYEOq576IMyJoynOcHTrkmKw0o_eiVX72VKHXA8-cP-g-ORvIwZGuJhPBNiVVl3tH6pgFUJM8Q/s1600/BestOfBootie2010_CD.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ExQFhbtV9MCF1liIPl_22qnT2QN-wBDtJY_zqRbG1bJIBI3sHjnd5UutgHsqW0OaXAYEOq576IMyJoynOcHTrkmKw0o_eiVX72VKHXA8-cP-g-ORvIwZGuJhPBNiVVl3tH6pgFUJM8Q/s400/BestOfBootie2010_CD.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558353930236522898" border="0" /></a>This is the sound of <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://bootiemashup.com/bestofbootie2010">BOOTIE</a>, the world's biggest mashup bootleg party, with regular parties in several cities on four continents.<br /><br />The "<a href="http://bootiemashup.com/bestofbootie2010">Best of Bootie 2010</a>" mix is pretty much the soundtrack to Bootie, crammed into a nearly 80-minute mix -- from the early-in-the night ramp-up to the prime-time dancefloor bangers to the last-call drunken kookiness to the end-of-the-night sentimental slow jams, this is what a real mashup party sounds like.<br /><br />I first experienced BOOTIE at 2005 or 2006 NYE's party in San Fran. I was blown away w/ the mash ups and the posters on the walls of "mashed up" artists faces. I ran up to BOOTIE Djs Adrian & Mysterious D like a little kid in a candy store. Big smile on my face and introduced myself. We kept in contact and I invited them to DJ in NYC. Ever since they've built a NYC fanbase and today have a full blown BOOTIE NYC party established.<br /><br />BOOTIE is all about the love for music, art, costumes, having fun, being smart, creativity, and proving to the world that you can be different and it's alright :) My love for BOOTIE stands strong. Love you A&D!!<br /><br />If you haven't been to a BOOTIE NYC party you NEED to go to the next one on Sat, Jan 29th @ Public Assembly. If you don't live in NYC they have other BOOTIE parties in San Fran, LA, and even in other countries like Brazil and France, etc, etc.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Take a listen and download the Best of BOOTIE 2010 Mix</span><br /><br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F8463943"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F8463943" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="81" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/bootie/best-of-bootie-2010">Best Of Bootie 2010</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/bootie">bootie</a></span>Amylu Meneseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508349151449528056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78481442517133610.post-74294443728042518562010-12-29T12:03:00.001-08:002010-12-31T02:31:36.199-08:00Thank you 2010!

Just a quick overview of my year...<br /><br /><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.heineken.com/us/es/AgeGateway.aspx">Mezclasonic tour</a> w/ Camilo Lara (M.I.S.), Marcelo, Javier Romero, and the kids of D'Marquesina. The tour lasted a whole year bringing us to Chicago, Miami, NY, and LA. We had a lot of fun!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PARKED</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Oktoberfest</span> @ Governors Island w/ MeanRed Productions in Sept and Oct. These two massive events had thousands in attendance and a whole lot of organized chaos. I had a blast working on these projects even though it took a week to recover from each of these large scale events!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Remezcla Musica launch party</span> @ Broadway East. This was an amazing production w/ Remezcla.com and some of the best up and coming Latin alternative performers. Nina Dioz, Zuzuka Poderosa, Sunsplash, and some great Djs as well. I wanted this production to go extra well and I think everyone was very happy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CMJ Blood n' Bones international showcase</span> @ Fontana's. This was a personal project I created during CMJ and it turned out to be a great success! The line up was a melting pot of international bands Hard Nips from Japan, Outernational from NY, R-Tronika from all over, and Les Handclaps from Montreal. I got to even sing the song "Barbarella Pop Club" I wrote in Spanish w/ Les Handclaps!!<br /><br />There are so many other awesome projects and events I worked on this past year that I can't even list them all, but I'd like to say <span style="font-weight: bold;">THANK YOU to everyone</span>!!<br /><br />I welcome 2011 with open arms and look forward to many more awesome things to come.

I automatically fell in love w/ her song <span style="font-style: italic;">“Ai Voce Gosta”</span> and have been following her music career ever since.<br /><br />I'm happy I've been able to work w/ her on various events including Nacotheque, the Remezcla Musica launch party, and Que Bajo?!<br /><br />She's a snazzy dresser, an energetic pixie w/ tons of life, an awesome live performer.<br /><br />If you haven't already please vote for Zuzuka Poderosa TODAY on the MTV Iggy show!!<br /><br />ZP grew up loving the raw Miami bass-inspired dance music Brazil calls funk and started throwing reggae and funk parties with members of the Nossa Crew when she moved to New York ten years ago. Eventually, the emcee and DJ started chatting in Portuguese on the mic and in studio — to the immediate and visceral delight of everyone within ear shot. She tells her origin story in greater detail in this great video interview.<br /><br />Not only is she bringing her own brand of the hot Brazilian underground sound to the rest of the world, but from her international vantage point she operates like a provocatively rhyming hurricane, sucking up global riddims from ghettotech to dancehall and flinging them back out at gale-force speeds.<br /><br />The funk Carioca spitfire regularly works and performs with cutting-edge DJs, rappers, and funk heavyweights on both sides of the equator. She recently did a guest turn on Iggy fave Sub Swara’s new album Triggers.<br /><br />We predict that she is going to be very much in demand worldwide within the next twelve months.<br /><br />The sultry vocalist is a must-hear for anyone who loves Maluca, feels the pain of Bonde do Rolé’s recent quiet, and who can’t wait for Marina Gasolina’s solo debut.<br /><br />Zuzuka is currently working on her debut album and aims to make it an international affair with many producers in the mix. Maybe she’ll team up with Ms. Gasolina for a track or two! Dream collab!<br /><br />Taste the funk in the video for her Eurythmics-sampling track “Ai Voce Gosta”:<br /><br /><object height="285" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ewRPJZSfQww?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ewRPJZSfQww?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="285" width="400"></embed></object>Amylu Meneseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508349151449528056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78481442517133610.post-32025269262635133512010-12-02T08:34:00.000-08:002010-12-02T08:49:46.674-08:00NEW DJ mix "Viva Las Vegas" ready for download!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGHmmPycxU7uV97zg4xEcS1te1pE0Sr30C7O-gloUaoFrNH7XG2qgbBuPqrA-euO7zP-m7SbkAffYBRa5P1K7NKfCtIbKjylEEuEdsvfVDT6L5TMs4g7u7Psa806Vxwj7FUi9gzsT4ZOc/s1600/VivaLasVegas_SMbanner.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 386px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGHmmPycxU7uV97zg4xEcS1te1pE0Sr30C7O-gloUaoFrNH7XG2qgbBuPqrA-euO7zP-m7SbkAffYBRa5P1K7NKfCtIbKjylEEuEdsvfVDT6L5TMs4g7u7Psa806Vxwj7FUi9gzsT4ZOc/s400/VivaLasVegas_SMbanner.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546124395306030418" border="0" /></a>Here's a little ditty for ya my newest DJ mix "Viva Las Vegas" inspired by late night romps down the strip in Las Vegas this past November.<br /><br />We had fun...a LOT of fun.

It was the worst feeling in the world and I definitely suffered from all the taunting and poking fun mentally and physically for many years. Since moving to NYC at 17 I have since realized how awesome it is to be unique. [Photo to the left is me at 15yrs dressed up a Drag Queen after wathcing the movie <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DJC-ECU8IE">Priscilla Queen of the Desert</a>] More fun pictures below...<br /><br />If I could say one thing to the kids who harassed me almost everyday in school it would be <span style="font-style: italic;">"F*CK YOU, YOU F*CKNG FUCKS!! You didn't get the best of me!!!"</span> Hopefully Obama's efforts w/ his <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/itgetsbetter">"IT GETS BETTER" project</a> will help some kids not have to go through the torture I did. Crossing fingers...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/itgetsbetter">www.whitehouse.gov</a>: Recently, several young people have taken their own lives after being bullied for being gay – or perceived as being gay – by their peers. Their deaths are shocking and heartbreaking tragedies. No one should have to endure relentless harassment or tormenting. No one should ever feel so alone or desperate that they feel they have nowhere to turn. We each share a responsibility to protect our young people. And we also have an obligation to set an example of respect and kindness, regardless of our differences.<br /><br />This is personal to me. When I was a young adult, I faced the jokes and taunting that too many of our youth face today, and I considered suicide as a way out. But I was fortunate. One of my co-workers recognized that I was hurting, and I soon confided in her. She cared enough to push me to seek help. She saved my life. I will always be grateful for her compassion and support – the same compassion and support that so many kids need today.<br /><br />In the wake of these terrible tragedies, thousands of Americans have come together to share their stories of hope and encouragement for LGBT youth who are struggling as part of the It Gets Better Project. Their messages are simple: no matter how difficult or hopeless life may seem when you’re a young person who’s been tormented by your peers or feels like you don’t fit in: life will get better.<br /><br />President Obama is committed to ending bullying, harassment and discrimination in all its forms in our schools and communities. That’s why he recorded this message.<br /><br />Last year, the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services joined forces with four other departments to create a federal task force on bullying. In August 2010, the task force staged the first-ever National Bullying Summit, bringing together 150 top state, local, civic, and corporate leaders to begin mapping out a national plan to end bullying. The task force also launched a new website, www.bullyinginfo.org, which brings all the federal resources on bullying together in one place for the first time ever.<br /><br /><object height="390" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/geyAFbSDPVk&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/geyAFbSDPVk&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="390" width="400"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHLAE_fmGg77zAECjxkhrtyV_oRe3v9jOBzdeHtOLKBqIxe1yIJ6pz9s-Sy5bccie6eomJMGBsoSr8XoBKGNaeGxll0nc27kLUyd4Fp02EX_XMPZWbYID7s3bIR2nFGQnSQEsGqcc2ycE/s1600/Ptown.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

I always love having an excuse to wear costumes...and glitter, eat candy, and listen to halloweeny songs!<br /><br />Last year I created a Halloween mix w/ all music in Spanish just for fun and it was quite popular. I decided to make another one but I mixed it up w/ English and Spanish-sung music, some dance remixes of classics, and even a couple of horror movie sound clips:)<br /><br />The mix is called <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Amor y Sangre"</span> and I think it's pretty entertaining. I hope you enjoy it and listen to it while you get all dolled up in your Halloween costume this year!<br /><br />Thank you to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Vogue Paris magazine</span> for the promo image that inspired the name of this mix. I somehow find Love and Blood to go well together...like sex and chocolate?!? xoxo<br /><br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F6121834%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-TqLtM&secret_url=false"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F6121834%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-TqLtM&secret_url=false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/amylulita/amylulitas-amor-y-sangre-halloween-mix-2010">Amylulita's "Amor y Sangre" Halloween Mix 2010</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/amylulita">Amylulita</a></span> <br />1.

Spanish Punk Legends SKA-P @ Irving PlazaSKA-P, the iconic ska-punk rock outfit from Madrid, Spain, will be playing a rare, one-night-only concert at New York's Irving Plaza on Saturday, November 11th. Tickets are $34.50 and are available at <a href="http://www.livenation.com/event/00004522BE516519?artistid=1171072&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=3" style="color: rgb(89, 123, 183); text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">LiveNation.com</a>.<p></p><div style="float: right; margin: 4px 0pt 15px 20px; padding: 0pt;"><img src="http://madmimi.com/system/promotion_images/0079/0473/SkaP.jpg" style="border: 0pt none;" height="302" width="302" /></div><p style="color: rgb(58, 53, 42); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0pt 0pt 1.3em; padding: 3px 0pt 0pt; vertical-align: top;">Ska-P's songs feature an infectious and energic vibe, with the rockers mostly singing about non-conformity and individuality, criticizing capitalism and racism, and defending equal justice for all people. Throughout their career, Ska-P has backed up their words with actions, taking part in various multicultural, alternative and anti-globalization festivals and protests. After wildly successful tours throughout Europe and South America in the 90's and early 00's, Ska-P took a hiatus, much to the chagrin of their fans, to pursue side projects, and personal endeavors. The band reformed in 2008 and toured South America and Europe, before releasing <a href="http://ska-p.com/discografia" style="color: rgb(89, 123, 183); text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><em style="font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;">Lágrimas y Gozos</em></a>. New York was not a stop on that tour however, but now for the first time in years, Ska-P will perform at the legendary home of rock & roll in New York City, Irving Plaza. </p>Amylu Meneseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508349151449528056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78481442517133610.post-58490736835256005382010-09-28T04:06:00.000-07:002010-09-28T04:08:29.596-07:00Historias Breves (VI) por mi amigo Gonzalo Navas Medina<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifUEmKFLvBLgWXZ_MqmhML6_8wdexXdgUmp_yqZx87YA8qmwnlGKK3r3ZJZHJshGUadUUizDjk5sOGct_IjNffopGztWf74w1lFRErRbRLqKXNDXFn4dI1dfVBo82XR_2t3YuU_LBPfqo/s1600/lo-gotico-2-1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 169px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifUEmKFLvBLgWXZ_MqmhML6_8wdexXdgUmp_yqZx87YA8qmwnlGKK3r3ZJZHJshGUadUUizDjk5sOGct_IjNffopGztWf74w1lFRErRbRLqKXNDXFn4dI1dfVBo82XR_2t3YuU_LBPfqo/s400/lo-gotico-2-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521919559774254994" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Historias Breves (VI) por mi amigo Gonzalo Navas Medina</span><br /><p><a href="http://el-compendio.lacoctelera.net/post/2010/09/23/historias-breves-vi#c5156994"><strong>18-</strong></a>Finalmente, después de haber imaginado ese momento mil veces en los últimos meses, no se dijeron nada, estaban sentados frente a frente, con las piernas cruzadas y tomándose las manos, esperando a que la megafonía anunciara su vuelo. Pudo pasar una hora, pero se les hizo como tres segundos, tres segundos para recordar, tres segundos para decir adiós a demasiadas cosas que habrían dado para hablar una vida entera, pero que se pronunciaron en un silencio que sólo admitía una mirada, una mirada de despedida, de agradecimiento y de dolorosa felicidad. En la mente de ambos imágenes del futuro, de un futuro que la lógica y el sentido común gritaban que no sería tal, ¿qué le iban a hacer? eran demasiado jóvenes como para saber cómo son las cosas, pero demasiado jóvenes como para no permitirse soñar.</p> <p>Aquello era un adiós a las personas que habían sido al conocerse y compartir sus vidas ese breve espacio de tiempo, probablemente lo recordarían siempre, esos momentos ya tenían sus propias canciones que lo habían grabado todo mejor que cualquier foto.</p> <p>Luego abrazos, lágrimas y un tímido "adiós" a dúo. Pero nada de aquello fue la auténtica despedida. Vino después, después de separarse definitivamente. Ella pasó la línea de seguridad que separaba la zona de embarco, y justo antes de perderse por el pasillo se detuvo un momento, y como poseída por un pánico repentino echó una última mirada atrás, buscando entre la gente, y le encontró, sonriendole de vuelta una última vez.<br /></p>Amylu Meneseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508349151449528056noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78481442517133610.post-57024444112314391292010-09-28T02:02:00.000-07:002010-09-28T02:26:05.476-07:00Una Poema: The Broken Muñeca<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHPirX9jednLUp1s8vgTyErr58ssqTEbAWp1MAFyrHJtJt0quHpmCLopF5YPeZSqZd-xd5QUz9HbbL97OIo4xUCCRfy8k1sScHedhI4GeYD3stBy6LgAXjve0F0FSGXKypYsKfHnxPxyM/s1600/broken-doll-in-a-box.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 270px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHPirX9jednLUp1s8vgTyErr58ssqTEbAWp1MAFyrHJtJt0quHpmCLopF5YPeZSqZd-xd5QUz9HbbL97OIo4xUCCRfy8k1sScHedhI4GeYD3stBy6LgAXjve0F0FSGXKypYsKfHnxPxyM/s400/broken-doll-in-a-box.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521889843584278738" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Broken Muñeca</span><br />1 year ago an unexpected surprise arrived<br />1 year ago she fell into a well<br />1 year ago she broke the bones in her body<br />1 year ago she almost died<br />1 year ago the world fell apart<br /><br />1 year ago she collected her broken limbs and ran away to hide<br />1 year ago she sat on the floor day after day and glued herself back together<br /><br />1 year ago today she stands in front of a mirror to see herself put back together again<br /><br /><br /><object height="385" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-DYg0pN5vDc?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-DYg0pN5vDc?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="400"></embed></object>Amylu Meneseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508349151449528056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78481442517133610.post-2489452384334621482010-09-22T09:30:00.001-07:002010-09-22T09:50:11.820-07:00AIM TELL-A-VISION GROUP LAUNCHES “PUNK OUTLAW RECORDS”<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKarlfKF2eJ8CCOgbaUrX-GXBZMW0l2QY33oWfxXI6bgbq5P2KQmAkHwadUO77KfBIYjHdGJfdIHSEsQFSuDOo4jDbQixxWaJHSp3tA3RH4X_W6oN_opCLSl2oz413ipTPI61fLtJ8AqQ/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 154px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKarlfKF2eJ8CCOgbaUrX-GXBZMW0l2QY33oWfxXI6bgbq5P2KQmAkHwadUO77KfBIYjHdGJfdIHSEsQFSuDOo4jDbQixxWaJHSp3tA3RH4X_W6oN_opCLSl2oz413ipTPI61fLtJ8AqQ/s400/Untitled-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519780179459589810" border="0" /></a>One of my favorite types of music is PUNK and some of my favorite places punk comes from (besides UK and America) is Latin America, Spain, etc so I was very pleased to see my friend Robert Rose launched his new record label <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.punkoutlawrecords.com/">PUNK OUTLAW Records</a>!!<br /><br />The digital record label will initially focus on 360 degree partnerships importing music from emerging punk & independent artists.

The digital record label will initially focus on 360 degree partnerships importing music from emerging punk & independent artists.</p> <p>AIM TV Founder, <a href="http://www.aimtvgroup.com/home/founder.html" target="_blank"><em><strong>Robert G. Rose,</strong></em></a> formed Punk Outlaw Records when traveling abroad gathering material for his documentary “Punktology…The Worldwide Influence of Punk”. Rose witnessed firsthand that the DIY (Do It Yourself) spirit of punk music was very much alive and thriving in places where artists sacrificed tremendously to make music in the face of incredibly challenging circumstances.</p> <p>The new record label’s roster of recently signed artists include <a href="http://www.rudoswild.com/" target="_blank"><em><strong>“Rudos Wild” (Rough and Wild),</strong></em></a> a raucous, in your face punk and punkabilly band from Montevideo, Uruguay that has been performing since 2003. Rudos Wild plays straight up classic punk rock heavily influenced by rockabilly, psychobilly and artists such as <strong>Social Distortion, The Misfits, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Stray Cats, The Clash, Tiger Army, The Living End and Reverend Horton Heat</strong> to name a few. Rudos Wild has independently recorded two full length CDs and toured extensively in <strong>Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. </strong></p> <p>Punk Outlaw Records also recently signed <a href="http://www.lossuziox.com/" target="_blank"><em><strong>“Los Suziox” (The Dirty) </strong></em></a>a talented punk band hailing from the working class barrios of <strong>Medellin, Colombia.</strong> Los Suziox (LSZX) has independently recorded several tracks with a large repertoire of socially conscious songs that has garnered them legions of loyal fans in their native Colombia and throughout Latin America. LSZX’s musical influences are diverse and include bands like<strong> Stiff Little Fingers, Klamydia, The Addicts, The Clash, Konflikt, Ramones, Minor Threat, The Meteors & Stray Cats</strong> to name a few.</p> <p>“Latin America is a hotbed of punk music and culture. Rudos Wild and Los Suziox represent the diversity and quality of the music being made there.” states Robert G. Rose, president of Punk Outlaw Records.</p> <p>“American Latinos having a rich history of contributions and are a powerful force in the punk, psychobilly and rockabilly scenes in the U.S. today. With the changing nature of the music business and the declining influence of major labels, now is the perfect time to start an indie label that will help artists get their music to a wider audience. Our goal is to provide a platform to expose talented artists to a group of fans otherwise not able to experience important music that demands to be heard” Rose continues.</p> <p>AIM TV Group and Punk Outlaw are wholly owned subsidiaries of Artist and Idea Management, Ltd, the pioneering creators of the long running, English language syndicated television series, <a href="http://www.americanlatino.tv/" target="_blank"><em><strong>American Latino TV </strong></em></a>and <a href="http://www.latination.tv/" target="_blank">LatiNation </a>which were sold to Los Angeles based <a href="http://latv.com/" target="_blank"><em><strong>LATV Networks</strong></em></a> in 2008 and are still airing in the U.S. via broadcast syndication and cable today.</p> <p>For more information visit <a href="http://www.punkoutlawrecords.com/" target="_blank"><em><strong>www.PunkOutlawRecords.com</strong></em></a> and <a href="http://www.aimtvgroup.com/"><em><strong>www.AIMTVGroup.com </strong></em></a></p>Amylu Meneseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508349151449528056noreply@blogger.com1
