Song-a-Day 019: Cinco de Mayo

In honor of the day, here are my two of my favorite Spanish language songs:

Orishas - Naci Orishas (2004)


Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - El Matador (1993) (OH MAN OLD)


Wikipedia tells me Los Fabulosos Cadillacs are together again? Yay to that.

Noise Diary 003: Volcanic Doom!

You might have heard that there's some kind of goddamn Volcano going on in Iceland.

Good old Silent Listening has just the sounds for us:

Suffice to say that it was a bone-chilling and mesmerizing experience which is not really carried along with this uncompressed and raw sound recording if heard at normal level – so please turn up the volume for a bigger effect (and imgine the smell of sulfer crawling up your nose)…

Andreas Bick - Mt. Yasur (2004)


And because a) I can and b) "Mother Earth" is today's fucking buzzword

Happy Earth Day: LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out (1990)
