Song stuck in my head of the week

Aleks Syntek y la Gente Normal’s “El Camino.”

Still to this day my favorite song of his. I gotta say, I like a lot better his early stuff. This one must’ve come out between ‘92 and ‘94. I know it was just the musical style of the day, but I really like [...]

Observaciones sobre el Juego Mexico – Trinidad y Tobago

Previo al juego:

Suena decente el ataque: Cuauhtemoc de inicio, Nery, Guardado, Guille. Chingado, creo que vi a Arce, espero estar equivocado.

They took a song by Dominican Artist Juan Luis Guerra, and [...]

A Wolf At The Door

I keep the wolf from the door, but he calls me up, calls me on the phone,
tells me all the ways that he’s gonna mess me up, steal all my children if I don’t pay the ransom,
