Buffalo GalOs

I couldn't resist. I had to do it. My friend Stevio posted the old school song - Buffalo Gals by Malcolm McClaren and it was a throw back. I know the song and play it often but some times, timing is everything. When I heard it on his blog - the timing was great! Thanks Steve.



Buffalo Gals is in Malcom McClaren's DUCK ROCK album. The song skyrocketed during the early years of the Hip-Hop movement. The song became almost synonymous with Breakin' and Poppin' and was pretty much an anthem. In the video you can also see the great Dondi White rocking some graffiti on the wall. A "Sky's the Limit" piece

Malcolm was a great promoter. Knew how to work the scene. Many may not know but Malcolm once managed the Sex Pistols!!! yeaaaah!!! and has been credited for bringing the punk scene to London. He also managed Adam and the Ants!!

Who is Adam & the Ants you ask?? (shaking my head) check it out and take a trip down New Wave lane- for all you Goody two Shoes....

Blue Monday....

Shup? nothing blue about this Monday. Don't really know why Monday's are blue anyways. I guess it has to do with it being the day following the weekend. I am glad I don't go through those anymore. And even if i had a 9-5, I think I wouldn't consider any day BLUE...albeit, I love blue the color...here's a little something in light of that....



so back to this...

I just heard my all time favorite musician will be going to surgery. The purple man himself PRINCE - YEP!! He will be getting hip surgery. The 49 year old ARTEEEST needs to get his hip replaced otherwise he'd get a limp and will be walking with a cane. dang!! only 49 years old too.

I remember ditching Jr High School to go se his movie, Purple Rain, at the Westlake theater in MacArthur Park. I sat through the movie the entire day. I think I watched it three times that day. I was with friends Corey Dixon and his girl Sheila...I?? well by myself. I wasn't much of a smooth ladies man so it was just me and PRINCE - hahaha...

Back In the Circuit or Scene??

Wellllll aummmm....sorta...

Okay - it's been a while. Last year was good. I was in and out of the city and country. Last year, towards the end I was in Seattle, Oakland, San Francisco and Mexico and Guadalajara...

My trips to these cities were great. I completely dug Seattle and of course SF is great and being back home in Mexico was great abeit I did not like DF that much.

DF is PACKED like one may have no clue unless you've been there. Cogested, dirty, noisy and so on....Put it like this...I ran out of Mexico - ran straight to my lovely land and city Guadalajara...ahhhhhhhhhhh....calm, clean, nice, greener, and on top of that my old school homies some old aummmm flings and of course my beloved familia.

anyways - I am listening to Joy Division as I type this early Sunday morning. Sunday?? hmmmm...the Lord's day. But for some. it's NFL day or Soccer day or on this occasion Oscar Sunday...blaaaahhhh...it's like 8 hours of coverage dude...who can sit through that?? I guess some can...

anyways - for me well it's a usual day - as many may know, suprisingly more than I would want knowing, I got in a bit of jam upon my return from MEX last year - a day before Christmas - yes...a JAM...so now assigned to "remain at home" for another month I have a plenty to do. things such as: clean, draw, catch up on blogs and stuff, paint, write, watch movies, sleep, and eat...eat and EAT...I think i must of gained like 10 pounds already...woooo...anyays - plug back in - I need to get everyone back on the hook of things and update this everyday or so....so swing by and tell your friend..

my promise this year is o be completely open..

I will post some pics up too...

Stay Tuned N

peace everyone.
