THEM AND US

"MARICHIWEU!'" [6]

Referring to President Enrique Peña Nieto, who is turning out to be at least as inarticulate and factually challenged as George W. Bush. Marcos wrote "chaos" with the letter "k" in Spanish: "kaos." Like anglophone anarcho-punks and other rebellious youth, Mexico's young rebels often replace the "c"s in certain works with "k"s in the written language. "The beautiful people" is written in English in the original. Bourgeois Mexicans like to sprinkle English words and phrases into their vocabulary. Hola! is a Mexican magazine for women. It featured exclusive photos and interviews regarding current president Enrique Peña Nieto's fairytale wedding to soap opera star Angelica Rivera. Region 4 is the DVD region code for Mexico, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, New Zealand, Australia, Papua New Guinea, and much of Oceania. Mexico also uses Region 1, the region code for the US and Canada. A Mapuche phrase that means "we will win one hundred times over." "Pachuco" means "zoot suiter" in Mexico. Marcos uses a lot of Mexico City slang here and is making reference to another Maldita Vecindad song called "Solín," which is about a poor man who reads about Mexican comic book hero Kalimán and decides to change his name and make a living as a carnival psychic. Maldita Vecindad is a classic Mexican ska/punk band that has supported many Left causes since the band's inception in the 1980s. The band is still popular and active, but they haven't put out an album in years--much to Marcos' chagrin, apparently.

January 2013Those from above say:(…) (the tee-tu-ta-ta-tatatata sound, from the smartphone)(to be continued…)From any corner of any world.SupMarcosPlanet EarthJanuary 2013___________________Listen to and watch the videos that accompany this text:a.- Pacheco"Pachuco," by La Maldita Vecindad y los Hijos del 5to Patio. Video is from the perspective of "from below," that is, in the middle of the mosh pit. The moral of the story: don't record while you're on the trampoline. And what the heck, Maldita? Don't be so idem and get it together. Or what, you're just going to leave the raza to the mercy of the Justin Beibers of the world? Fine, greetings from Solin, because you guys really did understand that the communities are pure Kalimán.[7]_____________________b.-"More for your money.""More for your money."
