SON OF JACK

Yeah everyone has a kid inside, thing is, this guy is still a kid and as far as I remember, he’s better known for being a prolific musician than a nice kid. But don’t let that distract you, because the reason I have this exclusive MP3 is because I deserve it and so do you.

Here’s a little bit of Mexican Underground history:

Not a long ago, but quite a very while, this guy was drilling beats and destroying melodies with his formal a.k.a. Lumen Lab, but then all of the experimental hip hop wave hit the Pacific Ocean like a typhoon and after a couple of caguamas at an Abolipop gig, him and I decided to start a party-mash-up project called Jackson. Yeah it was hella fun for sure, but later appeared Warp's Jackson and His Computer Band along with some fights and young Diego Martinez decided to dump me and kept our party project for himself and this other hot guy with dreads better known in Guadalajara as Meiker.

But it wasn't until this week that Diego officially released his first record as Jack's Son, and dude its damn good, top notch shit. Fuck! There’s a sample of me rapping at the beginning of this record! So that kinda makes me, according to the title of that track in this record: "El otro hijo de Jack".

So there, but just in case my personal story doesn’t fulfill your strict expectations, here’s what Aussie Cyclic Defrost said about this release:

Wow! Where the hell did this spring from? Literally from Mexico - metaphorically from the cavernous dub station on the fringe of hip hop, soul and glitched out funk riding high with a mescalin milkshake and a touch of sunstroke.

Man, that's a good review and, this, a great song.

MP3:
Jack's Son - True Trouble feat. Lucrecia


Anyways, they will be performing live this 27th at FBolko in Guadalajara. There will be cumbias for everyone!

PEEK-A-BOO!

Check this out!

MP3: SPANK ROCK - Put That Pussy On Me (Nuuro Remix) M.I.A. - Bucky Done Gun (Nuuro Remix) PHARRELL - Angel (Nuuro Remix)

The kid who made these unauthorized remixes is on fucking fire I tell ya. He's 17 and currently living in Venezuela, yeah, land of Kid 606 and Devendra Banhart.

GET HIS RECORD AT DARLA!

THE IMMORAL BETTER BE AVANT-GARDE

So yeah, I haven't been able to update much these days, and neither will I do that right now, well kinda, so just for hecks here are a couple of songs worth a listen on your way back to work/home.

They're kinda oldies but man they're great, especially if you're in love or just needy. Thing is "Stay With Me" features Ne-yo, he's a Def Jam artist and the reason I know him is because of his great collab' on Ghostface Killah's "Back Like That".

GO PEEDI!!!

Peedi Crakk feat. Ne-yo - Stay With Me

And yeah, don't ask me why I used the Woodsy Owl image...

PURO GALLO

Según el sobre que guardaba esta imagen, ellos son Nito e Israel, la foto tiene 7 años de vida y fue tomada en donde ensayaba Thermo. Yo por mi parte, recuerdo que iba con ella el día que tomé esta foto.

No hablaré del pasado ni de lo que estamos haciendo cada quien actualmente, ya varios lo saben, pero sí haré énfasis en un capítulo que marcó mi vida abruptamente; se llamó Diario En Llamas, y la razón por la que he retomado el pasado esta vez, es porque Nito; miembro de Youth Recipee, Desarmador y Diario en llamas, el 11 de noviembre del año pasado lanzó una marca de skateboards llamada Puro Gallo que promoverá el trabajo de distintos artistas utilizando tablas de edición limitada como sus lienzos.

Sí, nada realmente novedoso hasta ahí (para los que no conocen a Nito), pero la cosa cambia cuando checas el primer colaborador invitado:



Se trata de Artemio Rodríguez, artista plástico y curador de La Mano Press, que también el año pasado fue invitado a realizar sus propios Vans. No que eso lo haga mejor, pero realmente me gusta su trabajo, y por ende, estas tablas.

So if you didn't understand a word I just said güero, just look at these amazing boards with your own eyes and BUY THEM 'cause even in Mexico, they're COOL.

TEENAGERS IN TOKYO

Alright, what did all of those "E! Wild On" nights showed you? I don't know about you, but for me, all I remeber is wet white trash and springbreak yupster hard-ons screaming:

SHOW YOUR TITS! SHOW YOUR TITS!! SHOW YOUR TITS!!

So, just because I know you want that too, here you go!



Their name is just as good as their music, they're Aussie, they're in their early 20's and you decide if they're hot or sexy. I still don't know, neither does Crackers United, which is the blog where I got this from.

THE CAPRI PARTY!

Y regresa ACNE con todo, Geek Chic vs Sexy Bitch no es más que una conspiración de todos los capricornios que andan vuletos locos por la ciudad! Así que a amontonarlos! No hay bronca, son cotorros.

HAH!

BCKTSCHL!

Don't pay attention to the dumb title, on a sugar peak I thought it'd go nice with the slick photos Marte took the other night downtown at La Nefasta Times. Though, a jarmuschesque title would've looked so much better.

DAMN! Si el Trip se compra estos decks, nunca nos sacará de su casa!

PLEASE DO!!!!

ALL COVERS SHOULD BE FREE

Recuerdo a esta chica perfectamente, digo no ha sido nada difícil tampoco, pese a mi terrible memoria atrofiada por el mal consumo de drogas sucias. Sin embargo no recuerdo en qué proyecto canadiense se supone que cantaba, yo sólo la recuerdo así, como en esta foto, al lado de mí, pidiendo cervezas.

Esa noche hacía mucho frío, todos traían copas de nieve en los poros y había un chingo de lodo. Esta canción nada tiene que ver con la foto o esa noche en sí, pero de igual modo proviene de la misma gente. Me costó dos searchs en el Soulseek, a ti ni uno.

Qué terrible cover dirán, pero al escucharlo estimulado, con la lengua chiclosa y 20 BPM's más arriba, las cosas cambian for sure. And you know I ain't lying homie...

Es como cuando te resbalas lujuriosamente, sí.

MP3:
Xlover - Aneurysm

EXACTITUDES

They call their series Exactitudes: a contraction of exact and attitude. By registering their subjects in an identical framework, with similar poses and a strictly observed dress code, Versluis and Uyttenbroek provide an almost scientific, anthropological record of people's attempts to distinguish themselves from others by assuming a group identity.

Exactitudes is alright yes, but what creeps me out the most is the wide span of this specific style. These kids are from Bordeaux, but you can also see them in Baltimore, Rotterdam, Los Angeles, NYC, Tokyo, and so on, until you go as far as my city: Guadalajara. Are they in your city too?

Scary gay cultcha.

DIY & INDIE: So Different.

Israel Martínez wasn't brought up very differently than you or me, even if you're a yuppie or a guanabi gringo.

The difference between him and other people is that while your buddies were just hangin at their cribs, he was locked up inside his studio producing whatever you may wonder, right by the late nineties. A little bit to the left, but yeah, he was there, blasting dark hippie stuff with his lil' brother Deg who has also just released a record under the a.k.a. of Jack's Son and was embraced quite nicely by Textura.

Anyways, the thing is, while you were having crazy sex at your parent's beach house "somewhere near Cancoon" or camping at some rustic rave with two bucks in your pocket and a jar of shrooms on your back; my buddy here was releasing records and songs on his own.

You should try that too sometimes, its punk.


MP3:
Nebula 3 – So Different

YOU ARE THE PRIDE OF YOUR STREET

Not long ago, at some dumbshit blog I wont even link, I read the most awful sort of insults directed to the scene I belong to.

At first I didn't know if it was meant to be funny or hurtful to some specific friends of mine, either way I laughed, but it was around 2005, and well I was on my own shit, kinda arrogant too. But that's not the point yo, what that stupid blog said was mostly crap about our movement and our music, and gave absolutely no credit to whatever media had raved our friends so far back then. It even called us liars.

I always thought it was just some jealous ignorant poseur ('cause his Spanish wasn't really good either) talking shit about some of us, but well, just for this once (again! the first time I showed you pictures of us getting high with some Mexican celebrities), here you go buddy... So you won't be able to keep on doubting about the things we DO and you simply DON'T, culturoso.

Alright, back to the original post; his name is Ángel Sanchez, and not only has he had one record released, but quite a few already. But just because I know you and your buddies only read Pitchforkmedia, here's a little review for you:

8.6 BABY! By your favorite webzine... IN YOUR FUCKING FACE!

Seekers Who Are Lovers - Modern Heirs (Soundsister)

THUNDERHEIST

Eso de que la escena Canadiense apesta no me lo termino de tragar. El rollo de Peaches, falso o real, no es lo mio. ¿Es el tuyo?

Thunderheist no es la primera sorpresa que me llevo en estos meses de Canadá, y por si fuera poco, entre un enlace y otro, encontré estas grandiosas fotografías por MatDeRome que no tienen madre:













And guess who I found.... So little is the world.



Well hello Sofía! I remember you from 2005

YO! SIMIAN...

Look at'em spinnin' and kissing and spinnin' and touchin' and spinnin'...

Simian Mobile Disco es un buen compañero cuando se va rumbo a la fiesta o se está en ella, también cuando te arrastras por la Calzada trás la ineludible búsqueda de reboot.

En año nuevo, cuando llegamos a La Bastarda, parecía pueblo fantasma. Sólo había zombies con cartón como calzones cerca de Obregón.

MP3-Blogger? AQUÍ hay varios para ti.

Anti-Anti

¿Recuerdas Jade Tree?

Cap'N Jazz estuvo ahí, todo el clan Kinsella estuvo ahí. ¿Lo recuerdas? Yo sí, y cada que puedo le echo otra oreja.

Snowden es una banda de Atlanta que tiene todo lo que necesito para dar patadas y saltos por la tarde antes de que se largue el sol con la cola por el culo. El sencillo no es tan reciente, pero el video sí y les quedó bueno. Lo acabo de topar en Cliptip.
