show3: MY FACE IS MELTING...

...from the hot light of the streets, from the glare of millions of camera lenses... from the heat coming off in waves from computers, from wires, from the toxicity of speech... at the sight of a cramped room filled with people who sweat and jiggle in gyms instead of walking/running/biking/skating/whatever... From self-regulation, from frustration, from all kinds of junk seeping into my pores...

On that note, (was there even one?) this show was dedicated to un amigo de un amigo. Keep hittin up billboards, kids.

Y para mi compadre...










The songs by Los Mirlos, Juaneco y su combo, y Los Hijos Del Sol are from The Roots of Chicha: Psychedelic Cumbia from Peru. The record company that put out the CD says;

"Chicha started out in the late 60’s, in the oil-boom cities of the Peruvian Amazon.
