Also, like as not, spilled Margarita mix.

― Austin (Austin), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Not bad, so far one actual Mexican band, and one with actual Mexican members!

Rebecca del Rio singing "Llorando".

For when you want everyone to go home, obviously.

I have a great collection of Latin renditions of Beatles songs, that I got as a present once, called 'Here Comes...El Son'. I always pput that on at my Mexican-themed fiestas.

Here Comes El Son (which I'd like to get a copy of) is Cuban.

If Expressonym sees that on the list, he's going to send out the death squads.

Fiesta by The Pogues. Bring on the Cuervo and Tecate!

Meat Puppets first three albums

― Lairy Hair (hullcity), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Shit, you're right, drop me an email if you'd like a copy though.

― Jena (JenaP), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I personally would have it be mainly norteno, old and new, with some narcocorridos and rock en espanol for spice, but that's where my taste and knowledge lie--I don't know much about mexican music south of mexico city.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Jena, thanks, if you like that one, I probably have some other CDs that would interest you.

― RS £aRue (rockist_scientist), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

RS you are stereotyping me again! I like Cuban music! I just don't understand the difference between good salsa and bad salsa! Damn it!

that having been said, it's NOT THAT HARD to learn about Mexican music, people. Good acts that are actually Mexican or Mexican-American and still together and have released records in the last two years:

Molotov
El Gran Silencio
Paulina Rubio
Ely Guerra
Los Tigres del Norte
Beto y sus Canarios
Akwid
David Rolas
Yolanda Perez
Grupo Montez de Durango
Grupo Climax
Grupo Bryndis
Grupo Exterminador
Los Angeles de Charly
Crooked Stilo
Kinto Sol
Cafe Tacuba
Kinky

Hey Sourpuss thanks for the list... i'll put them into slsk later - are you on? whats yr username?

― maracas (maracas), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't have a soulsuck account. all these acts should be easy to find though. later when I'm not on deadline I'll compile a list of songs. Everything should have Paulina Rubio's current hit single, "Dame Una Tequila," at the very least, and Molotov's "Amateur," which is a spanish hip-hop rock version of "Rock Me Amadeus."

― The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

2Mex (hip hop)
Los Nativos (hip hop)
Kico Rangel or any great old mambo records (I'd love to track down a compilation myself)

― Pete Scholtes, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Sourpuss, but Cuban music at a Mexican-themed party? Anyway, paz. I'm not trying to start one of our old style fights.

― RS £aRue (rockist_scientist), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

the 'tijuana sessions vol 1' compilation by the nortec collective is a ton of fun...

I highly recommend the Tigres del Norte tribute album. It's got some great covers and bands on it. I can't find the name of it anywhere, but it exists I swear. Check it out.

Also, you can never go wrong with Cafe Tacuba, particularly anything of "Re."

― rocknrolldetox (rocknrolldetox), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

"Malaguena Salerosa" by the Tubes
"Mexico or Bust" by New Kingdom
"Mexican Radio" by Wall of Voodoo
...and anything/everything by the Plugz.

Brujeria "Matandos Gueros"

― dave q (listerine), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Americans use us for wiping their asses
They treat us like pig shit
Have balls and be men
A... trip north
Centuries pass and our race is fucked up
American bastards, they give us dick and...
Forced into poverty,
We are...
Your vengance will be your dark destiny
Killing white boys - Long live the race!!!
Killing white boys - Like Pancho Villa!!!
Killing white boys - Satan takes care of you
Killing white boys - Killing white boys!!!
Machete in hand and hot native blood
Satanic force, looking for vengance
In the north we will take over
Killing white boys - Long live the race!!!
Killing white boys - Like Ricky Ramirez!!!
Killing white boys - Satan takes care of you
Killing white boys - Killing white boys!!!

My friend Ramon used to say "The South WILL rise again - these dumb fuckers just don't understand how far south."

― Austin (Austin), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Doug Sahm's various projects are good for this type of thing, especially Sir Douglas Quintet and the Texas Tornadoes. I can't get enough of "Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone?"

― drfunk (DrFunktronic), Thursday, 10 February 2005 07:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Duh.

Obviously the Mexican Hat Dance should be on repeat for the entire evening.

― Sasha (sgh), Thursday, 10 February 2005 07:40 (twenty-one years ago)

At least put on Beck's "Burro" - mariachi version of "Jackass"

― kickitcricket (kickitcricket), Thursday, 10 February 2005 08:16 (twenty-one years ago)

xxxpost - in "Matandos Gueros '97" he says "estilo OJ Simpson"

― dave q (listerine), Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

>"Mexico or Bust" by New Kingdom...and anything/everything by the Plugz.

Until this moment, I thought I was all alone in the world.

dave q that is beautiful, I'm actually welling up right now

San Diego burrito joint jukebox picks:

Vicente Fernandez
Lupillo Rivera
Chalino Sanchez
Los Tigres del Norte
Los Tucanes del Tijuana

― tylero (tylero), Thursday, 10 February 2005 17:13 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, Los Tucanes had a great album last year and the year before, every year really

also: Julieta Venegas (Bueninvento is better than Si but the new song/video is DOPE), Celso Pina ("the rebel of the accordion," his new album is all about Che Guevara), Maldita Vecinidad.

For dancing: INSPECTOR, especially last years' Unidad, Cerveza, y Ska. "Ska Voovie Boobie Baby" was in my top 10 this last year; video (miniaturized band perving on hot supermodel in whose house they live, kind of like The Littles) is super-caliente!

And no thread can be complete without me bigging up my fave alternative chica: Natalia LaFourcade, who is kind of like what would happen if all awesome girl-pop music (Avril, Bjork, Nellie) were concentrated and sweetened and poured into a Mexican young woman.

Mexicali Brass Band

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 10 February 2005 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I used to think Bueninvento was better, too, but Si has really been growing on me lately. And yeah, Natalia LaFourcade is fantastic, even if I'd rather stick flaming chopsticks in my ears than have to listen to one bar of Avril Lavigne or Nellie McKay.

― pdf (Phil Freeman), Thursday, 10 February 2005 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

aw phil, "he who fucks nuns," etc.

― The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 10 February 2005 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

It isn't real mexican music unless you got it on cdr with an ink jet quality cover at a saturday afternoon flea market on the southeast side for 4 bucks after bargaining from a guy who doesn't speak english.

Tylers picks are OTM. He totally stole my barbacoa-and-tortillas joint picks from me. ;)

― Disco Nihilist (mjt), Friday, 11 February 2005 07:24 (twenty-one years ago)

fourteen years pass...
