datzenmike Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Oh man to be 20 again with my '70 Dart. The smell of smoke cleaning the tires off. The Z28 guy is so excited with all his talk he jumps the gun while I wait. On the second start he misses second but I want to race. We again go through the restart ritual. Go! Hold it, wait till the tires hook up and floor it through the remains of first. Got him off the start and all three power shifts I pull ahead half a car length each. "That car ain't stock" he yells later and I smile. I know why he's pissed because his buddy had told me he had work done on his engine. Consistency for the win. 3 Quote Link to comment

For the record , I do prefer scratchy /screaming lyrics like they have , just haven’t connected with any songs. I guess that’s the Siskel and Ebert version . 3 Quote Link to comment

Since it was Mexicans who started the Lowrider culture. Also on the song "Cisco Kid" there seems to be someone talking Spanish in the background. But just now that I paid closer attention to what the guy in the background was saying. It's mostly gibberish. It sounds like spanish but there's only a couple actual spanish words in all that. Been a while since I heard "On The Road Again", Great song. Reminds me of "Green Onions" by Booker T & The M.G.'s . Edited May 13 by IZRL 3 Quote Link to comment
IZRL Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 (edited) I'm gonna throw a female vocalist into the mix as well. I just heard this band performance recently. This is the band "Jinjer" performing at the Wacken metal festival in Germany. Crazy how big the guitar sound is with only one guitarist in the band. Girl has decent vocals.

IZRL Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 (edited) Here's some music most folks will never come across. This is some of the music I grew up listening to. All these bands fall under the "Spanish Rock" umbrella believe it or not. There is so much variety in this genre its unreal. I'm not sure if there are any spanish speakers here, but I figure music is music whether you understand the lyrics or not. "Entre Canibales( Between Cannibals)" by the band "Soda Stereo" from Argentina. "EL Esqueleto (The Skeleton)", By the Band "Victimas Del Doctor Cerebro" from Mexico. "Mama(Mom)" By the band "Los Amantes De Lola" from Mexico. "La Selva Negra(The Black Jungle)" By the band "Mana" from Mexico. "Solin" By the Band "Maldita Vecindad" from Mexico. "Avalancha "Avalanche" by the Band "Los Hereos Del Silencia" from Spain. "Poli Love" by the band "Zoe" from Mexico. "Pensando En Ti(Thinking of You)" By the Band "Mago De Oz" from Spain. This song is a spin off of "Dust in the Wind", but with different lyrics. "Afuera(Outside)" by the Band "Caifanes" from Mexico. Edited May 13 by IZRL 2 Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 (edited) Gracias IZRL, me gusta que nos lleves a la escuela al estilo español. La escena de Ska Mexicana está de moda, y Dust In The Wind en español fue un buen toque. I'll admit, my Spanish grammar sucks. I had to use Google for this so I didn't slaughter it like the disléxica gringo that I am. Edited May 13 by paradime 1 1 Quote Link to comment

So I speak Spanish, but writing it is a whole nother story. I'm ok at but I haven't had to use it much over the years, so I know what you mean. I got to see the two Ska bands I posted above, live (Maldita Vecindad and Victimas Del Doctor Cerebro). They put on a show! I also got to see "Caifanes" and "Mana" live. "Soda Stereo" was one of my top bucket list bands but they split up before I was able to see them. The vocalist passed in 2014 so no chance of there being a reunion.

This song is getting downloaded and placed in my music collection. This is the concert live version of the Japanese song "Skaravan" you posted above. What a performance, great song. 2 Quote Link to comment
IZRL Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 (edited) The above Japanese band reminded me of this Argentinian. I had a ticket to see them in Mexico in like 2010, but I got the worse flu I ever had the day before the show. They're still touring so might get to see them yet. "Matador", by the band "Los Fabulosos Cadillac" from Argentina. Here's another Ska band I got to see live in Phoenix Az. They are by far the best live performance I've seen! "La Dosis Perfecta(The Perfect Dose)" by the Band "Panteon Rococo" from Mexico. Edited May 14 by IZRL 2 Quote Link to comment
