Jóvenes y Sexys - Bruno Remixed



Hey everybody, we're coming very close to the end of our netlabel & Blogspot "era". That sounds pretty wicked, right? Well, it is. But don't mind that, for we have an entirely better and rather more interesting surprise for you guys. Oh, don’t worry. We will tell you all about our "good bye" within the third surprise we have planned for you, but before that (again), let’s go back to the true meaning of this post.

Our Venezuelan "panitas", Jóvenes y Sexys, are back. Were they ever gone? Not really, well, in a way, yeah. But don't get shaky, here's the update: After their "Bruno EP" release, Cheky & Loo came to Mexico, met a bunch of talented people, and somehow, they did not only end up appearing in two soundtracks (for the Mexican films "Rudo y cursi" and "Voy a explotar"), in case you were wondering, JYS just got back home from playing a few gigs in Brazil a few days ago.

Remember their last release? Well, María y José (Tijuana), pepepe (Guadalajara) and Nuuro (New York) certainly do. Don’t worry if you don’t. We’re done with the words, anyway. All you have to know from now on is that, because of artists like Jóvenes y Sexys, we have decided to take Poni Republic to a whole other level. But please, remain tuned. Don't drop out!

Anyways, starting from this release...

Well, kind of...

Argh.

OK, OK. We hate surprises; so let’s just say we sort of have another Venezuelan release ready for you to enclose our official "farewell", but before that, please, go ahead and enjoy these fine tunes (and artwork)…

Yamamoto, Summer Songs For Winter People



About five years ago, a couple of friends from Tijuana gave me this cutesy folk pop demo that made me smile and sigh every time I listened to it.

Back then, I was very upset about the incipient and so-called "indie music industry" that was going on in my country; actually, scratch that: I still am.

Either way, Mario & Brenda, better known as Yamamoto in Mexico, as well as Nuuro, are pretty much the main reason I started this netlabel (or blog, how you guys prefer to call it) and later decided to sustain my passion for unreleased music, even today, five years later.

So here we are, altogether again, thanks to wonderful sweet music.

You write the review through our comments, I just wanted to drop a line after so many months of rude silence.

Happy 2010 everybody!

Best wishes, enjoy.

Bi-Log, Nos casamos en África



Querían contraer matrimonio en el "continente negro" porque allí hace calor. En las valijas guardaron anteojos de sol, ropa y juguetes de playa. La Policía los entretuvo hasta que ubicaron a los padres

Cuando en Alemania, más precisamente en Hannover, se celebraba el primer día del nuevo año, enamorados, él, de 6 años, y ella, de 7, decidieron fugarse de sus hogares para casarse en África.

La travesía comenzó en las primeras horas del 1º de enero cuando Mika, el joven novio, Anna Lena, la futura esposa e hija de la novia del padre del niño, y Anna Bell, testigo del enlace matrimonial de sólo 5 años, armaron el equipaje para irse al "continente negro" "porque allí hace calor". Entre las cosas que llevaron en la valija había anteojos de sol, juguetes de playa, ropa de verano y provisiones.

Los menores de edad caminaron un kilómetro hasta tomar un tranvía, el mismo que, tres kilómetros después, los dejó en la Estación Central de Hannover, donde pensaban abordar un colectivo directo al aeropuerto.

Sin embargo, en intención quedó la idea de tomar el micro, ya que empleados de la estación ferroviaria advirtieron que los tres niños no estaban con adulto alguno y dieron aviso a la Policía, quienes entretuvieron a los enamorados hasta la llegada de sus padres, publicó el diario Clarín.
