Taco Tuesday Music Video: ‘Mexican Hippic Sauce’ (Vegan Mix)
Belgium’s “anti-rock/ex-noisy-surf-band” The Poneymen are cooking up vegan Mexican Hippic Sauce with sombreros. That’s all we can really tell you, as our high school French didn’t cover situations like this. Horses reading horse-porn magazines, mon Dieu! [FYI: “Hippic” means “having to do with horses.”]
Europe’s most popular ‘surf guitar’ tune: ‘Mexican Bodega’ (video)
Swedish composer Lennart Clerwell (photo) wrote Mexican Bodega, a perfectly lovely “surf guitar” instrumental ballad that seems to have been covered by every middle-aged Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Finnish and German guitarist on YouTube.
It’s a sweet tune, as Tibor Slamovits shows in this video. We don’t know how or why the composition got its name — in Mexico a “bodega” is a warehouse, not a tiendita or “little shop” — but if this song reminds you of a bodega near you, go there now and buy or store some stuff.
