POP! Goes the Mariachi!!!
When I post my new music "findings," I'm often enthusiastic, rarley insistent. This time I'm both. You have to hear this! When I lived in Tucson, I was an emissary of a cultural institution. I was expected to attend things I was invited to, like theater, symphony, special city-wide cultural events, etc. Tuscon holds the largest Mariachi convention each year. It's a week of workshops, performances, and lectures. Like most of those things, I went because I had to. So much of it was really awful, mediocre at best. Two-and-a-half hours of a Paul McCartney symphonic piece, GMWAS! I was supposed to attend for the opening day meet-and-greet, the usual. The very second I heard just one band, I was dragged in. Some of those Mariachi-only players are magnificent musicians, and at a thing as big as Mariachi Week, there were tons of hot musicans and vocalists. I was blown away! I went as many days as I could sneak away from the museum, and for as many hours as I thought I could get away with. I realize that Mariachi isn't for everyone. It can feel a little repetetive and one-dimensional at times, like Cake. So, here they are: MARIACHI el BRONX! They're an 8-piece outfit from LA. They write contemporary pop songs (good ones with good lyrics), that are arranged and performed full-on Mariachi--the whole schmear--percussion, guitar, guitarono, horns, accordion, strings, backing vocals... And, aside from a few Spanish choruses, they lyrics are all in English!... "With four different lovers And 48 roses I need a confessional That never closes..." Fun stuff! If you like Mariachi at all, you gotta get this.

Dum Dum Girls - Only in Dreams
Liking it more than their first album so far. Still not a real grabber, though, so we'll see how it grows on me. |

Listening to The Mark Poniatowski Situation this morning. Nice jazz on my Mackies while I catch up on some office stuff. Mark was a high school classmate of mine.
