Hip Hug-Her

Before you start reading, click play. Ok Go.

As I surfed our friend’s “Miss Mars” MySpace I heard this great song “Hip Hug-Her” by one of the “creators” of the Memphis Soul sound, Booker T. & The M.G.s, “one of the first racially-integrated bands in popular music.”

The cover of the album looks pretty late 60′s fashion
Hip Hug-Her

But they’re most known byt their song “Green Onions”, which we can see was all about good dancing and happy moments

Once introduced, “Miss Mars” is a new Clothing Brand by some of our friends here in Monterrey. That’s Elena, Marcela Viejo & Priscila from Quiero Club.
We’re helping them to do their Launch Party next Saturday 19 at Topaz Deluxe, where Marcelo Cunnin and Amylu will be doing the now famous Nacotheque Party whose slogan is “Quality music for cheap people”.

Here are some Miss Mars designs.



Apart from telling the story, I started this post to learn and show how to use some basic common web features to bloggers: linking text (not writing the http://www.URL.com but doing a link that opens a new window), the mp3 player and the YouTube embedd.
Note: upload your files with no blank spaces in the filename.ok

Sushi delivers art on a plate

There’s something fishy going on in the art world.

The new substance of choice in making a masterpiece is sushi.

Sushi art is being pioneered by inventive Japanese chef Ken Kawasumi, who has written a number of books about the popular dish, including the Encyclopedia of Sushi Rolls, Sushi for Parties and Fun and Fancy Sushi.

 

To show off his skills at the launch of his lastest book, The Most Simple Way To Make Decorative Sushi Rolls, the cook replicated one of Vincent Van Gogh’s most famous works, Sunflowers, with an array of sushi.

Hungry anyone, hu?

 

And for all the Sushi lovers let me suggest this awsome website http://www.sushiordeath.com/

 

(Sorry, I know this website is meant to be all about elegiac stuff like arts, music, design, fashion, but when I bumped into this news I couldn’t help but spread the word! Everyone has to know about this God of the Rolls and Nigiri!!!!! ^_^ 

I promise next post will be more serious..)

 

cheers, 

x Lotti

And that’s me..

Hiya everyone, 

Let me introduce myself..

I'm Laura (but you can call me Lotti), the other blogger from London Town - 

In this year that I've lived in here, I've changed the lenght and the colour of my hair a few times (from plain dark curly Italian style to Agy lesbo-nazi pixie blonde 'do - I'm boringly straight thou), I've organized a music festival in Shoreditch, moved from Camden Town to Shoreditch, developed a serious addiction to hummus (or humous..? wha'eva..) and broaden my music tastes quite a bit (now I'm getting more and more into experimental and noise - but I don't have any musical prejudices and can't stand the snobbish ATP- style attitude of some dudes towards pop and commercial music - I heart Britney - and I loooove elctro rap and mash ups for parties - and I can't forget my punk background).

But despite all this, in the end I remain a lazy fucker who's trying to sort out her life as most of the people living here...uhmmm...

For further information please visit my myspace page or find me on facebook (but I'd rather avoid it - it's boring, thou useful), and please befriend me on last.fm cos I've just a few friends and I feel lonely in there - my flatmate, who's mexican and works there, among them

So, this is me

and this is where i'm working this weekend

'FESTIVAL OF THE YEAR 2007' Plan B Magazine

Supersonic Festival

"Of this welter of well organised, wisely curated festivals (ATP, Faster Than Sound, Sonar, Greenman) perhaps the best organised and most wisely curated was Supersonic. Plotted by Birmingham promoters Capsule, 2007's Supersonic inhabited the nexus where metal, folk and noise met."
Louis Pattison Plan B Magazine

"The Custard Factory is a typical Birmingham name, typical in its self deprecating frankness. The city of Birmingham, although the second largest in the UK, has always had more of an inferiority complex than a chip on its shoulder. Hard to love architecturally despite a recent makeover of its city centre, it feels like a city shambling ruefully on - the West Midlands accent of its citizens considered inherently risible - its hopes of civic prestige some way south of the horizon. And yet, as Supersonic once again demonstrates, Birmingham has shown itself in recent years to be far from the "cultural wilderness" this writer once offhandedly described the city as."
David Stubbs The Wire

Pitaya Frenesí

Our good friend Mauricio Rebolledo has been partying in Europe since last week. I talked to him yesterday.

M: So how’s the party?
R: so far, the best wedding ever!

wedding…………..right

So, he went to popnoname‘s wedding last saturday, where Matias Aguayo made everybody dance “like if there’s no tomorrow”. GREAT, we have a video of this wedding set where Matias is mixing Rebolledo’s song “Pitaya Frenesí”. These first songs are “created as models, sketches”, so here one more sketch.

Kind of a funny image cuz, Im sure my friend Alvin has to face great vynil stores and save money for food haha…..he would definitely get this.
By the way, a Pitaya is this beautiful fruit.
