One of my favorite songs by Limite. A group I used to be into when I was little.
(A song I can probably sing to if I'm drunk...lol)

From Julia...

Hey Chicano/as!

I hope you're all doing really well :) I wanted to send you the link to a program thats going to air on Dec. 14 on PBS about Chicano Rock from East LA. I've copied and pasted the blurb but just in case you don't want to read it all right now, it basically looks at the history of Chicano music, its influences, and the role it played in Chicano consciousness and history. It looks really good! Also, randomness, my high school sweetheart's (lol - honestly, when in life do you get to use that phrase?) Dad was a big part of the era and is part of the film. I really don't know if I needed to add that, probably not, jaja but anyway.. fun fact! Check it out!

besitos,
Julia

Blurb:
Narrated by Edward James Olmos, this landmark film chronicles more than 60 years of America's largest Mexican-American community as generations of artists and audiences defined themselves with music. It began in the 1940s, with the Father of Chicano Music, Lalo Guerrero and continued with the brilliant but tragic career of Ritchie Valens in the 1950s. During the 1960s, bands such as El Chicano and Tierra produced national hits and reflected a new militancy. Also included is the amazing and inspiring story of Cannibal and the Headhunters, kids from local housing projects whose best-selling recording of "Land of a Thousand Dances" led to a tour with the Beatles in 1965, and Thee Midniters, whose song "Whittier Blvd." captured the spirit of Chicano car culture and an East L.A. cultural renaissance. During the 70s and 80s, Chicano punk bands such as "The Brat" gave a voice to women and it all came together in the 80s and 90s with perhaps the greatest East L.A. band, Los Lobos , and continues today with the multicultural music of Ozomatli and Quetzal.. Others who appear include Don Tosti, The Premiers, Art Laboe, Casey Kasem, Bob Keane, Billy Cardenas, Max Uballez, Steve Loza, Tom Waldman, David Reyes and Ruben Molina.

Study Break II, Oldie but Goodie!

Don't worry, they keep their clothing on lockdown (don't flag it as inappropriate because even if you're on a diet, don't mean you can read the menu. And yes, by menu I mean these men. and by diet I mean if you got a man. In case spelling it out was necessary.)

And everyone, read up on the Mumbai tragedy! I am sure there might be groups around campus holding awareness events!!!

OMGZ

Alright, I know everyone is stressed out with school work but I thought it would be really neat if everyone made an effort to post a "study break" worthy story, video, or picture. Email them to chicanoblog@gmail.com and I'll post them as I receive them!
We can also vote at the end to see who had the best study break post.
Also include all the school work you have to do so the Caucus can send good vibes in your direction!

Alright here goes mine:



I mean, Meryl is amazing. and everyone loves seeing someone receive a verbal bitch slap once in a while. And yes lapis is a color




Workload: Essay revision due at 6pm (cries) and a spanish presentation tomorrow morning.
