It doesn't matter how much you like music. None of us will hear every excellent record ever recorded. They'll be there, for all time, just waiting for you to discover them, one by one. Excellence is boring. Sometimes you need that extra thing that excellence lacks. Not sure what it is, but it's a common thread running through much of the really interesting stuff, be it music, art, film, or just standing around not being excellent.
That's what drew me to these two songs. The first one, by Anibal Valesquez, sounds like some sort of a Latin Legendary Stardust Cowboy. He's just yelping and making weird noises and stuff. It's a good thing I can't understand the lyrics, what few there are, because if they were meaningful, it would just ruin the whole thing. The other song is a cover of Led Zep's "Moby Dick", by Los Commandos. It's either got that certain something, or it's lacking a certain something else. One thing is certain, you'll be reminded how hard it is to pull off a long boring drum part. So now you really have to hear it.
Both of these are at Super Sonido, a perfect hang out if you like interesting unfamiliar Latin stuff that you may never come across elsewhere. I get lost over there.
