man, i was a cunt a year ago

all said, i go back to mexico continually and lcd soundsystem has a surprisingly huge presence there. i gave some girls from guadalajara a ride and they played a cd and i remember them being blasted on the stereo when i was at a kinda hippie-dippie beach hovel in sayulita. def would never have expected this.

for the last year the biggest search engine hit on my blog by several orders of magnitude has been "mexican hipster boots"

Been playing "Cómo puedes vivir contigo mismo?" a lot recently:

Particularly recommended to anyone mourning the lack of a new Kelley Polar album (though I guess it's a bit dancier than most KP). First read about it on the Singles Jukebox but don't know if it has crossed over to ILM at all.

The rest of the Alex Anwandter album is solid too, if not quite as massive as "Cómo puedes..."

loving gepe and a lot of indie pop + hip-hop chilenos for years, glad to see his been getting around stateside, we just had him in dc this past weekend

that alex anwandter is great.

this isnt really what this thread is for but i figured a nerdy genre-specific compilation of obscurities at least partially qualifies as hipstery:

The Sexy Fi album is some decent Brazilian art rock hipster shit that I haven't seen many people pick up on:

Los Master Plus were noveltyish but still fun live Friday night. They'ge got a Los Angeles gig coming up I think, and then back to Mexico

It's a kind of reverse-colonial legerdemain to post Bflecha here but there's no thread for Spanish hipster shit iirc and followers of LAHM will probably be into this album:

Posted this on another thread, but will try again here to see if anyone else has listened to the album:

And was listening to the new Jorge Drexler album this morning. Caetano Veloso and rapper Ana Tijoux guest on it. So far I like Drexler's pop-rock en espanol. Some nice vocal melodies

Alex Anwandter returns!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CLEcVaVbW4

Doesn't sound like a big departure from his previous house/disco sound ...but who could possible get tired of that? No word yet on whether Cristian Heyne is involved.

daavid, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 16:30 (eight years ago) link

Full song. Exactly what you would expect from the clip.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecC-HMZPPMs

Brilliant bit starting at 1:50.

I think Cordillera is my favourite on first run thru, love its just full on going for the jugular

kruezer2, Friday, 22 April 2016 00:59 (eight years ago) link

yeah so el sonido de los corazones que is a tour de force. the title track is a jam too, this album is my shit. will try to limit my gushing to these four posts, heh

kruezer2, Friday, 22 April 2016 01:22 (eight years ago) link

back to say upon repeated listens the quieter final third of this album is great

That MULA jam is really really great...and after investigating in them a little more, most of their stuff is.

Do Femina from Argentina or Ile (sister from Calle 13) fit in this thread?

curmudgeon, Monday, 29 August 2016 17:50 (eight years ago) link

I don't really think iLe does aside from the final track from the album, which I just posted.

_Rudipherous_, Monday, 29 August 2016 18:56 (eight years ago) link

I don't know anything about this, but it seems like it goes here.

agreed, awesomely laid back, really great song. will listen to more of their stuff

No mention of Maria Usbeck upthread. She belongs.

I just heard Bomba Estéreo for the first time this evening and I'm really surprised that there is only one mention of them on this thread. They are pretty incredible.

Non-Stop Erotic Calculus (bmus), Wednesday, 31 August 2016 02:06 (eight years ago) link

Bomba Estereo have been mentioned on the various yearly Afro-Latin threads.

curmudgeon, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 03:35 (eight years ago) link

La Lechera has talked them up a lot, maybe mostly not even on the Afro-Latin threads.

_Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 04:21 (eight years ago) link

(Not feeling well and don't have the mental focus for much of anything, which is why I'm joining you in these go nowhere comments.)

_Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 04:24 (eight years ago) link

Yeah, I had a feeling I probably missed it somewhere. I don't think I've ever checked out those Afro-Latin threads before. Either way, it seems like it would fit in here.
