As the media basks on the meaningless rising numbers on Wall Street and in declaring victory for capitalism, it is still all too clear that the poor continue to get poorer, and the rich continue to accumulate ill gotten funds to pay for offensively extravagant lives.
Pinche California Governor Schwarzenegger has ordered cuts of over $85 billion from services, including health insurance for children, assistance for people with AIDS, and families with foster children. State workers will be forced to furlough 3 working days of each month, a 14% cut in wages. At the same time, Andres Piedrahita, who helped loose over $6.7 billion through Bernard Madoff's $50 Billion global ponzi scheme, just bought a $30 Million boat to cruise in. The malvados are oblivious to the charities they have pilfered or the pensions they have pillaged. He and Schwarzenegger do not lose any comforts or sleep while millions loose pensions, homes, health care, and their very lives.
Abajos with these pinche criminales who get away and prosper from these atrocious crimes where they ruin thousands of people’s lives, yet do not have to face any repercussions!!
Pinches Capitalista!

¡¡Puras Covers!! Only Covers!!
Algo que siempre me ha gustado es la habilidad de un artista de tomar una canción de otra artista y cantarla en su estilo único. No estoy hablando de esos artistas que solo toman partes de otras canciones sin dar creadito al artista original. Estoy hablando acerca de bandas que solo por el puro amor a la música "cover" canciones que nos transportan a otro tiempo o a otro tipo de música.
Me gustaría compartir con ustedes algunas de mis "covers" favoritas y otras que he encontrado recientemente y me han encantado. ¡Déjenme saber que les parece!
Something I have always liked is a band’s ability to take another artist’s song and sing it in their own unique style. I am not talking about those bands that sample parts of other songs without even giving credit to the original artist. I am talking about bands that out of their pure love of music cover songs that can transport us to another time or to another genre of music.
I would like to share with you all some of my favorite covers and others that I have found recently and I loved. Let me know what you think!
Jaula de Oro: Julieta Venegas (Original: Los Tigres del Norte)
La Negra Tomasa: Caifanes (Original: Compay Segundo)
Dancing Days: Stone Temple Pilots (Original:Led Zeppelin)
Hotel California: Panteon Rococo (Original: The Eagles)
La Bamba: Ska-P (Original: Cancion Tradicional de Veracruz)
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun: Ska-P (Original: Cindy Lauper)
Ring of Fire: Social Distortion (Original: Johnny Cash)
Hurt: Johnny Cash (Original: Nine Inch Nails)
Rock el Casbah: Rachid Taha (Original: The Clash)

¡Feliz Día Internacional del Trabajador!
Striking garment workers block traffic in Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2006 to demand better working conditions, which they won after 13 hours in the middle of a busy street.International Worker’s Day 2009 – Las RSF will be celebrating by taking to streets to demand justice from San Francisco to Palestine, legalization and worker’s protections for immigrants, and an economic bail-out for the working classes from this crisis created by los meros adinerados. On this, the 119th anniversary of International Worker’s Day, let us not forget that the day was originally observed to honor a labor strike that took place in this country, one of the few countries that refuses to officially recognize this day.
In solidarity with the workers of the world, we offer you these songs.
La Pachuquita
The Magnificent Seven - The Clash
la diabólica
¡la tierra es para quien la trabaja! the land belongs to those who work it!!
A Desalambrar - Daniel Viglietti
La Cumbiambera
This song, by Guatemalteco Ricardo Arjona, flooded the radio stations right around the time of the mass Immigrant Rights marches of spring 2006. Listen up, políticos, as photographer and essayist David Bacon points out, “The wealth created by undocumented workers is never called illegal.”
“Si la visa universal se extiende el día en que nacemos
y caduca en la muerte, por qué te persiguen mojado
si el cónsul de los cielos ya te dio permiso.”
“If the universal visa is extended to us on the day we are born
and expires when we die, why do they persecute you, mojado
if the consul of the heavens has already given you permission”

tributo a the clash
llama a tu viejo, llama a tu vieja
y todo, todo, todo va a estar bien
escúchalo, no lo ignores
y todo va a estar bien
: revolution rock
barbican in london is bringing together some musicians (rock en español ++) for a tributo en vivo a the clash.
it's called spanish bombs: tropical tribute to the clash. and this is the description :
In a highly-anticipated world-premiere concert, appealing to fans of both The Clash and Latin music in general - the legendary band’s repertoire is brought to life by guest vocalists and musicians from some of the hottest Latin bands on the planet.
god. really? i'm not gonna lie, if i was in london right now, i would be going to this show. i love the clash, i love clash covers. and how cool to see rubén albarrán (café tacuba) singing joe strummer (sigh...)?!
but... "latin" is a dead language not a musical style, and spain (nor austin, texas nor monterrey, mexico) is not in the tropics, ok?

the police
...the “power” which is called the state ... arose from society but places itself above it and alienates itself more and more from it. what does this power mainly consist of? it consists of special bodies of armed men having prisons, etc., at their command.
: the state and revolution (lenin)
when they kick at your front door
how you gonna come?
with your hands on your head
or on the trigger of your gun...
: guns of brixton (the clash)
24th street, san francisco

the oakland police department wants to push a youth curfew law through the public safety committee of the oakland city council tomorrow. the curfew would apply to all young people under 18 years of age on the public streets between the hours of 10pm and 5am sunday through thursday, and 11pm to 5am fridays & saturdays. young people who violate the curfew would be questioned and detained. what?! really it's the police who should be put under curfew. they're the ones that go around shooting unarmed people in the back in the middle of the night.
show up for public comment!

oh mi corazón
the hillsides ring with “free the people”
or can i hear the echo from the days of ’39?
with trenches full of poets,
the ragged army, fixing bayonets
to fight the other line...
spanish bombs (joe strummer & mick jones), versión tijuana no!:
