Esta semana comenzó muy bien, mi abuela llegó a visitarnos y eso que significa? Significa MUY buena comida, buena compañía y más que nada, buena música.
Mi abuela es una persona con un carácter fuerte, sus opiniones son directas y sinceras, es una de las peronas mas cariñosas y más independientes que he conocido en la vida. La admiro y la adoro, así de simple.
En los años 60´s, mi abuela fue descubierta por tener una fabulosa voz y mucha habilidad con guitarra, y fue así como llegó a grabar unos cuantos discos para Capitol Records en la Ciudad de México con el nombre artístico de “Juana Gallo”. Afrotunadamente, mi tio encontró los viniles y los pasó a formato CD para poder guardarlos y sacarles copias. Una de esas copias llegó a mis manos y he decidio dedicarle este post a mi abuela Juana Gallo.
Brief Translation of Text:
This post is dedicated to my grandmother. She was a singer in Mexico City in the 60´s and she recorded a couple of records for Capitol. She went under the name of “Juana Gallo”. This is my grandmother at her best, I love her, she´s spectacular with her voice, her guitar and her food *gurgle gurgle*!!

… The good news is, there are a handful of artistically minded inkers at work out there, and if you’re gonna spend anywhere from a few hundred to a few grand on something that will be inked into your flesh until you die, well, don’t you want it to be atypical and dynamic and ingenious? Don’t you want something you can look at every day and go, whoa, what the hell is that, and is that really a part of my skin, and isn’t that just the most fascinating thing?
Don’t you want, in other words, a piece by someone like this French guy named Yann? Sure you do. The newish tattoo blog Needled.com pointed me to this guy’s deliriously cool work, which you won’t find in any of the aggro-trashy American tatt mags. He is, apparently, quite the sensation among tattoo cognescenti in France and Europe. Yann’s work is amazing and odd and childish and beautiful and strange, Egon Schiele meets Edward Gorey meets Picasso in a deep closet of folksy childhood whimsy. You gotta check out his gallery.
It is, of course, not a style for everyone. And you’d have to fly all the way to France to get a piece by him. But it could certainly encourage anyone considering the acquisition of serious ink to maybe think beyond your average dolphin-in-a-rainbow. Please. …

Return to basic list. I am trying to do series of smaller, more functional playlist, to change mood and to go around increasingly belligerent ezarchive. (gah!) First list, just to cheers Moka shiny new MdM section (Electric Bungaloo) is a hip-hop-electronica-near folks mix. Yes that is possible. Actually anything is possible while doing it half asleep.

Society Islands
I tag a mini review here, because it’s an interesting unsigned artist. Society Islands recently released their debut album, Kiss & Tell. The album is somewhere between happy lounge and ballad pieces, with very down to earth songs. The lyrics are classic poems, innocence but magical combined with the melody. Remember Innocence Missions? Yeah that. It’s the type one listens while looking at the window watching leafes floating by. etc. I love it. It’s simple and makes me smile. Go visit his webpage.
