I feel like I haven’t given these doods enough props on this blog. I used to be super into them when their first ‘album’ came out, and it slowly waned because they hadn’t toured much or new artists came into the collective, but there are some rad jams to be heard.
A quick primer on the Nortec Collective from wikipedia:
Nortec originated in 1999 when Pepe Mogt, started by experimenting with samples of old banda sinaloense and norteño albums and altering them on his computer or filtering them with analog synthesizers. He had picked up on the idea by listening to the percussive and angular grooves of the tambora and norteña music played at a family social event. Through some contacts in recording studios located in Tijuana’s notorious Zona Norte red light district, Pepe compiled tracks of isolated instruments from multitrack recording of tambora and norteño demo recordings that had been abandoned at the studios by the bands that recorded them. He began to burn these tracks onto CD-Rs, which he would later distribute to friends under the condition that they make a new track using the material.

I’m gonna try to make an effort and post more often on here. We can start with this ridiculous Cure tattoo photo gallery. I have nothing against it on principle, it is just that the ones in here mostly suck.
And speaking of Robert Smith, my buddy Steven pointed out that he looks like “a fat and confused Alice Cooper“. Remember when he was cool enough that you would consider keeping a rats nest on top of your head because it might make you look cool by association? Me neither. One more quick tattoo picture of him looking Chucky with lipstick, just for yucks.
It’s not all bad of course, the man was is a musical genius. I submit to you, A/V proof of this below. Welcome back, bitches.
Play For Today (I can’t embedded it, but its the best song in my opinion and worth this crummy link)
