Silvio Rodriguez – Ojalá
Can you articulate why some things are just better than others? Understanding something’s quality is a very philosophical concept and whether or not something’s value is intrisic or subjective is debatable, but sometimes you just need to STFU and accept that it just boils down to It Is or It Is Not (better). In this case, listening to this live recording of Ojalá is just better than listening to Nickelback. It just is. Accept it. In fact, it’s better than most things.
No explanation will ever suffice to explain why this song is an experience that will never leave you.
Mano A Mano (Recorded live in Madrid @ Plaza de Toros de las Ventas on September 24, 1993)

Ojalá que las hojas no te toquen el cuerpo cuando caigan
para que no las puedas convertir en cristal
Ojalá que la lluvia deje de ser milagro que baja por tu cuerpo
Ojalá que la luna pueda salir sin ti
Ojalá que la tierra no te bese los pasos
Ojalá se te acabe la mirada constante
la palabra precisa la sonrisa perfecta
Ojalá pase algo que te borre de pronto
una luz cegadora, un disparo de nieve
Ojalá por lo menos que me lleve la muerte
para no verte tanto para no verte siempre
en todos los segundos y en todas las visiones
Ojalá que no pueda tocarte ni en canciones
Ojalá que la aurora no de gritos que caigan en mi espalda
Ojalá qu tu nombre se le olvide a esta voz
Ojalá las paredes no retengan tu ruido de camino canzado
Ojalá que el deseo se vaya tras de ti
a tu viejo gobierno de difuntos y flores.
Ojalá se te acabe la mirada constante
la palabra precisa la sonrisa perfecta
Ojalá pase algo que te borre de pronto
una luz cegadora, un disparo de nieve
Ojalá por lo menos que me lleve la muerte
para no verte tanto para no verte siempre
en todos los segundos y en todas las visiones
Ojalá que no pueda tocarte ni en canciones
Ojalá pase algo que te borre de pronto
una luz cegadora, un disparo de nieve
Ojalá por lo menos que me lleve la muerte
para no verte tanto para no verte siempre
en todos los segundos y en todas las visiones
Ojalá que no pueda tocarte ni en canciones
Das Racist – Sit Down, Man
give me a second to figure out how to break this down….
All I ever hear about Rap is that it’s dead, usually when nothing good has come out for a month or two, and then someone(s) comes along and saves it from being the stale tired imitation of itself.
Das Racist will take control of the indie, alt rap, hip-hop have you genre for now with their ADD driven surplus swirl of synapse cracking information overloaded internet stream of consciousness. Or, as they call it, “panic attack rap”. These dudes are funny, intelligent, hyper aware of themselves and urban culture and they are heavily armed with a wealth of information – oh, I almost forgot, a deadly sense of irony. They know what they are doing and they know how to do it.
Get it while it’s still fresh.
Das Racist is based in Brooklyn, composed of Queens-born Himanshu Suri and San Francisco-born Victor Vazquez joined by hype man Ashok Kondabolu, known as Dap, for live performances and in music videos.
Listen with a soft focus.

Das Racist is wide awake in a pop-culture world of irony & excess.
Something else, (from wikipedia)
“When cartoonist Farley Katz of The New Yorker poked fun at Das Racist for ‘Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell,’ Vazquez (also a cartoonist) challenged Katz to a cartoon-off. Katz accepted, and The Village Voice declared Vazquez the unambiguous winner, saying he ‘destroyed’ Katz.”
The cartoons are worth checking out.
