I am fortunate to live in a place where so many of my peers are creating the kind of music I love. When most kids are worrying about how the grass is greener elsewhere, these bands are working hard to make where they are where they want to be. This mix is made up of current Texas synth-based projects and covers many genres, from industrial EBM to techno, leftfield disco to electro, deep house to minimal wave and even a little screwgaze for good measure.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">I am grateful to all groups who were so kind to contribute to this compilation; special thanks to <a href="http://www.klearlightstudio.com/" target="_blank">Klearlight Studios</a> for helping master the final mix as well as producing several of the bands in it. I’d also like to thank <a href="http://www.answeringmachinerecordings.net/" target="_blank">Answering Machine Records</a> for their submissions as well as their continued output of quality Texas synth music. I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for all my creative friends across this big state.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">There is something sacred in the geometry connecting Houston, Austin, and Dallas - this love triangle that we’re all a part of. This mix is a testament to what friends and neighbours are capable of and it’s a fitting time capsule for this time and place.

In the face of this threat, jarocho communities have joined together to spread the traditional practices and values of the fandango, not only to preserve the rural tradition, but to overcome and thrive.<br /><br />About the films:<br /><img src="http://www.fandangoswm.info/Images/about_musicos.jpg" /><br />Fandango, Searching for the White Monkey weaves together the stories of musicians as they struggle to revive a dying tradition of Veracruz, Mexico. This musical documentary takes us from California's inner city to the heart of the Veracruz savannah, the cradle of the son Jarocho. Fandango, featuring rare footage spanning 25 years, is the story of personal transformation and the power of culture.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sonjarocho.com/fandango1.jpg" /><br /><br />La Familia Raices is a short documentary on the family and Son Jarocho banda Grupo Raices from Oaxaca. The Raices Family play traditional Son Jaracho music in support of the Oaxacan people’s social movement. This traditional Afro-indigenous music originates in the state of Veracruz and is also traditionally played in some parts of the state of Oaxaca. This musical tradition is based upon popular education, collective organizing, and long term self determination for its musicians and instrument makers. The Raices family breaks through the difficulties faced by any family, with music, resistance, and determination.<br /><br />There is a $3 - $5 suggested donation. All proceeds will go toward the RGV participating in the Farmworker Freedom March this April 16-18.RIO GRANDE VALLEY VATO ~^_*~$$$http://www.blogger.com/profile/01723180838422928406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642946237912724286.post-37937924055938214102010-02-27T12:24:00.001-08:002013-07-08T20:49:18.237-07:00ENDLESS BLOCKADE/HATRED SURGE SHOW<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/141/l_3e6371cfda4e42838931f02db8b69fce.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 928px;" src="http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/141/l_3e6371cfda4e42838931f02db8b69fce.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Is it just me or is this flyer pretty weak?<br /><br />Anywho, this show is a call for all you angst-driven, socially outraged and pissed off youth looking to tweak your ears to the finest of power violence.

The central concern of my work has been the attempt to understand the fundamental processes at work in advanced capitalism […] How do market economies work, and why do they generate certain recurrent patterns which seem to cut across differences in origin, in culture, and even historic epochs. Why is capitalist growth characterized by order-within-disorder, periodically punctuated by episodes of general economic crisis?” – Anwar Shaikh<br /><br />Dr. Anwar Shaikh is a distinguished author and professor of economics at the New School for Social Research. He will be discussing the reasons behind the recent economic decline in the US and its consequences.<br /><br /><span> For more information contact Jenny Bryson Clark, Chairperson, Distinguished Speaker Series at jclark@southtexascollege.e</span><div><wbr><span class="word_break"></span>du or 245-2552</div>RIO GRANDE VALLEY VATO ~^_*~$$$http://www.blogger.com/profile/01723180838422928406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642946237912724286.post-72463217801801977822010-02-19T15:05:00.000-08:002013-07-08T20:49:18.259-07:00Ashanti A.

This is a fundraiser to send local SFAers to the Student/Farmworker Alliance 2010 Steering Committee Face2Face. Loteria, or chalupa as it's sometimes called, is Mexican bingo.<br /><br />Here are the details:<br />Friday, Jan 8, 2010<br />7 - 10pm<br />At Gina's house, 609 N 15th, between Gumwood and Fir on 15th<br /><br />$3 dollars per card per game, $5 for two cards per game, $20 plays all night. Free games will be played too. There will be free chalupas (tostadas), too!<br /><br />Please forward widely. If you'd like to donate a prize, rsvp. For more information, johnmichael@sfalliance.org<br /><br />Background:<br /><br />Student/Farmworker Alliance (SFA) is a national network of students and youth organizing with farmworkers to eliminate sweatshop conditions and modern-day slavery in the fields. We work in alliance with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), a membership-led organization of mostly Latino, Haitian, and Mayan Indian farmworkers and other low-wage workers based in Southwest Florida. We understand our work - which formally began in 2000 - as part of larger movements for economic and social justice. Youth in the RGV have been organizing with the SFA since 2005.<br /><br />The Coalition of Immokalee Workers is an internationally recognized, award-winning farmworker organization based in southern Florida. It has assisted the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI in successfully investigating and prosecuting cases of modern-day slavery and it has been recognized with the 2007 Anti-Slavery International Award and the 2003 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award.<br /><br />For more information on the Student/Farmworker Alliance and the SFA Steering Committee visit:<br />www.sfalliance.org<br />www.sfalliance.org/sc.html<br /><br />For more information on the Coalition of Immokalee Workers visit:<br />www.ciw-online.org<br /><br />Thanks!RIO GRANDE VALLEY VATO ~^_*~$$$http://www.blogger.com/profile/01723180838422928406noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642946237912724286.post-19014943250436520052010-01-05T01:03:00.000-08:002013-07-08T20:49:18.217-07:00JUMP ON THIS HYPE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o347/culnsweet69/dubbeldutchflyermcallen.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 366px; height: 548px;" src="http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o347/culnsweet69/dubbeldutchflyermcallen.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />No need to describe much.

It will be <a href="http://www.myspace.com/conquestofbread">Conquest of Breads</a> 1st official public appearance/show. They consists of members from Avocado hand grenade and Kegparty!. C.O.B. sound a lot like early anarcho-crust coming out of the late 80's and early 90's and draw their influences from antischism and propaghandi. Their sound is epic and harmoniously exacerbated. Expect to see a lot more coming from this band in the near future!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/thetentaclesaflower">Tentacles</a> will also be making their 1st appearance. Though they have been playing for a fair amount of time, their sound is breathtaking nonetheless. They are largely influenced and sound like mid 90's hardcore bands such as pg. 99, gallows holier than the cross, shikari and bands from the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/roboticempire">robotic empire</a> label. Heavy!<br /><br />I stumbled upon <a href="http://www.myspace.com/drewhoffmann">Drew Hoffman</a> through a friend of mine and have yet to hear him play live. Although, from hearing his mp3's I can say his music sounds straight up like melodic acoustic.
