Saw these way out east on Javier Mina.  They’re in the process of painting over them so get there quick.  Half are already gone.

So we were heading down to the grito last night in the centro and got a bit thirsty.  We ended up in a bar called Escalera that, I think, is located at the corner of Zargoza and Morelos.  As the name would suggest, it’s on the second floor, up a flight of steps from the [...]

[ September 12, 2008 4:00 pm to September 18, 2008 10:00 pm. ] Update:  This is back and playing at the Cine Del Bosque at 5:35 and 8:15.  See it!!

Just saw this at Centro Magno - brilliant.  The story of recent Emory grad, smart, competent, but with a truck-load of emotional baggage from his parents’ dysfunctional marriage.  Not so different than a trillion other kids his age but with a [...]

What a boring week.  Nothing but crap at the theaters.  Instead I’ll catch up on some street pics.  Here a few that caught my eye.

This one was released in the states about a year ago and is finally washing up on the shores of GDL.  A heart-warming, touchy - feely, love story, about a widow (Steve Carell) who’s still can’t seem to get over his wife’s death.  He meets someone (Juliette Binoche, in an odd bit of casting) who [...]

[ September 19, 2008; 12:00 am; 12:00 am; ] Another Melbourne-based band that’s been described by Rolling Stone as “ ”David Bowie if his Berlin Trilogy was a collaboration with Kraftwerk and Faust”, yeah, whatever.  The lead singer does manage to pull off that warbly Bowie thing well and it’s definitely space-fixated (song’s include: Into the Galaxy, Galaxy Grandmaster, World Converged, etc.) so I guess [...]

[ August 31, 2008; 12:00 am to 11:00 pm. ] So these guys (yeah, they’re guys) are doing tribute to The Ramones and The Misfits at the Ananke Bar on Manual Acuna 371 (corner Alcalde).  From their youtube video - they look and sound glam and amateurish - but I mean that in a nice way.  Falxa Alarma plays as well - less glam, more [...]

Don’t miss this one.  Quiero club is a experimental indie band from Monterrey and they rock.  Goofy and very danceable - sort of like Ciba Matto but Mexican (and therefore more fun!)  Check out the video below (Showtime) from their from their new album and then go, go, go to see them.  There playing at Foorum Sol at [...]
