it was a cold autumn night in the city of angeles and the promises of sunset boulevard whispered softly in the gentle breeze...most often than not it's expected you're going to have a good time in los angeles...whether you're livin large on the rooftop overlooking the downtown skyline or kickin it ohgee style w/ a blue ribbon...you're going to (as you should) make the best of the situation...whether you're out of your comfort zone and swimmin with the sharks or amongst familiar faces...find your groove and own it...along w/ this way of life there's a code among angelinos: don't spoil the fun of others...getting hit in the driver's side front = no fun. especially before the holidays..but accidents happen and so there it is. that happened so i was really looking forward to the mexican institute of sound at the Roxy. even though i've never really heard or knew of M.I.S. (which is about eighty-five percent of the concerts that i attend anyway - so no biggie) i was able to forget my worries and anxieties of the evening...when you mix rock, mexican folk and electronica the way that M.I.S. does you just get something better than the carne asada fries-horchata combo at alejandro's...at least in my humble opinion (which is sort ofa big deal)...according to wikipedia M.I.S. along with Kinky and Nortec Collective has brought the mexican electronica movement...all three are movin and shakin the third largest metropolitan area in the world (another wikipedia citation). and fortunately for us they're visiting los angeles to please our souls. to bring more smiles to the masses than the chicles you get at the u.s./mexico border...call me old fashioned if you will but i enjoy M.I.S.
M.I.S. was created by dj/producer and president of EMI Mexico, Camilo Lara...not only does he know music he knows what the masses would like...at least its what i like. i won't say he's my soul mate but i felt the connection.
i was going to embed a live performance of this song rather than the music video but it wasn't a good one...like all music you really need to go to a live show to feel the music...i'm hoping at least one person reading this will be inspired to take the leap into the abysmal cosmos of music. p.s. if you can't go to a show l.a. dog and pony show gots you covered.
there's a self-fulfilling prophecy among narcissists that torments their consciousness...it finds you no matter how fast you run and where you run to. think outside of your norm. find what's beyond the star system and make it your dream. at least finish what you've started til you hit rock bottom. there's a million possibilities but only one self. believe, live, and let go. (believe or not i got all this from a fortune cookie...the font size was the smallest i have ever seen without the use of a microscope or the center of a bobby pin and dishwasher soap (macgyver style).
enjoy the music.
