New Song: Janelle Monáe - Dance Apocalyptic

My favorite ArchAndroid, Janelle Monáe is teasing us with a new song titled Dance Apocalyptic from her upcoming album The Electric Lady due out Sept 9th, 2013.

The song is very peppy and fun and out just in time for summer bbq's.

New Vid: M.I.A. - Bring The Noize (2 editions)

M.I.A. is back with not just one but two editions of her video for her latest single, Bring the Noize off her upcoming album MATANGI.

Version one everyone in the video is wearing white and only a few pops of color appear like her hot pink wig, some club lights and some gold plated scenes.

Version Two is the Matangi Gold Edition - Everything is gold plated and it all looks embossed.

Either way, I am glad to have new music from M.I.A. just in time for summer!

I am back to posting!!!

Hello again!

After not posting much for almost over a month, I realized that I still want to do this and I will change the format slightly to include events in the L.A. area. 

At one point I will be switching to something else perhaps a website with a new more encompassing name but for now I will continue to post periodically. 

I do enjoy doing this and while the time away was good. 

There is just way too much good music out there that needs to disseminated.

Hope you are having a great summer. 

Regards, 
El Güido 

New Vid: NIN - Came Back Haunted

New Video: Café Tacvba - Aprovéchate

Fresh off their latest album El Objeto Antes Llamado Disco, Café Tacvba are back with their newest video for their single Aprovéchate.

The video was directed by Rubén Albarran (lead singer of the group.) The black and white video features a party with the awesome rockabilly-pin up-cholo-pachuco stylings of the attendees and a cross-dressing Rubén, cool low-rider bikes, old cars and lots of bad ass girls with pompadours. The band members are all dressed like an old school prom band. I have to say that I love Meme's vocals on here more than other tracks he has sung on before, he is quite the crooner on this track.

Enjoy!

New Vid: Q.U.E.E.N by Janelle Monáe feat. Erykah Badu

Janelle Monáe is back with a new video for her single, Q.U.E.E.N. that features Badoula Oblongata aka another one of Erykah Badu's alter egos. Q.U.E.E.N. is the first single from Monáe’s upcoming album The Electric Lady, which doesn’t have a release date yet. It’s the follow-up to Monáe’s critically-acclaimed and amazing album, The ArchAndroid. 

The video is very stylish and Monáe even dons a chic new hairdo which looks great on her but I still love her with her iconic pompadour. Looking forward to hearing more from this album. 

For now, turn up the bass on your speakers and shake it because as the lyrics say, "the booty don't lie."

You can buy  Q.U.E.E.N on iTunes here. 

Enjoy & support!

New Video: Bowie - The Next Day

David Bowie returns with a controversial new video for his title single, The Next Day that YouTube has already censored. It is still up on Vevo and after watching it I still can't determine why it is deemed inappropriate other than the subject matter of a church being a bloody nightclub, literally. Sure there is Gary Oldman playing a bad ass priest, a monk flogging himself, and a prostitute played Marion Cotillard that has projectile stigmata but there is no blatant nudity that violated YouTube's terms. I'm not saying that the images are not unsettling to some people but to be censored and banned seems a bit much. 

Take a look for yourself while you still can:
