Dear,

Whether it is a consequence of this national health crisis, or prohibition to enjoy the beginning of Beltane, I feel the bonfires are already reaching my very soul. I wear a dress and skirt underneath, and it is impossible to feel comfortable in them, even though the design of the dress is more suitable for a pregnant woman. I do look like a pregnant woman! Still, men stare at you, you give them what they  want. I scream, speak loud, ask what do they want, why do they stare, but every single of them keep staring and look lasciviously to my legs. Those men, fat, greasy dickheads.

FEMINISTA GORDA Y PELUDA


Así es, ya es tiempo de que las mujeres mexicanas despierten ¡MÁS! A falta de espacios feministas en México, la Comandante A abre este nuevo blog para hablar de feminismo. Vivimos en un entorno ultra machista señoritas! ¡Todas lo sabemos!

Sabemos que no podemos ponernos una falda o unos shorts sin pensar que en cuanto salgamos a la calle algunos o muchos barbajanes nos gritarán, insultarán o mirarán lascivamente.

Sabemos que los espacios para mujeres en el transporte público NO se respetan, que muchos hombres se meten y apretujan su pene contra las mujeres. Que las tocan, que las manosean, que les levantan la falda, que les faltan el respeto. Que invaden su espacio de intimidad. Su espacio que debería ser libre en donde ellas pueden decidir ponerse lo que quieran sin que los hombres piensen que es para su satisfacción visual - fantástica.

Sabemos y muy bien que las mexicanas estamos siendo bombardeadas por anuncios tanto espectaculares como en todos los medios (televisión, publicaciones) que están llenos de curvas y sensuales figuras (no acordes con la realidad) alimentando el instinto animal penetrador del hombre mexicano. Hombres que en gran mayoría, roban espacio con sus panzas taqueras prominentes y eructos cerveceros, y que desde su condición carente de arreglo personal y galanura, se sienten con el derecho de gritar, chiflar, manosear a las mujeres que, EN GRAN MAYORÍA, nos bañamos, nos peinamos y maquillamos.

Es hora de informarnos y hacer algo al respecto.

El feminismo no es sinónimo de machismo mujeres! Hay que informarse bien.
Están invitadas, toooodaaaaas, porque este mensaje es especialmente para las mujeres. Habrá que tomar armas al respecto.

Basta ya. Visiten y comenten, todas lo necesitamos.

It's been ages since I don't post anything in this blog. Wow, November 16, 2007! So many things have happened in one year, it makes me shiver, it actually gives me goose bumps! I was just visiting this morning and realized that I really like this blog. Even more than myspace's. Many times, I have planned to terminate it due to the lack of visitors and comments... Now I wonder who reads these words on the other side? And who's been reading it. It has, so much memories kept in a dream case, so many ideas lost in the process, people who have gone into another dimension, people who have just vanished from the surface. . . Overwhelming.

After our debut EP, The Mean Machine, Dagger has stopped rehearsing and playing. The very last time we performed was at the Indie O Music Awards at Polyforum Siqueiros, Mexico City. We sucked so much! I guess, I was driven by some pointless distress at the time, turning everything to a poisonous and fatal stab against me.

Now I realized that our real debut was long time ago. We kind of stuck on the fact that an EP album is the key to correctly and officially present your work. But now that I think about it, we gained some kind of reputation from our very first demo back in 2005. I still receive from time to time emails of people asking for that CD. The thing is that I have no time to print it right now (even though the solely work involved is hitting some Fedex Kinko's and print the damn cd label and booklet). Now things are different. Pablo left the band months ago (even though he tells me he might be joining again for some reunion gig soon), Ericka is still playing in Occulta, and Valeria, our recent bass player, is just holding there asking me desperately when she is finally playing live with us. But Dagger is having a break now. I am considering this period for a time to rest, to calm down, even that The Mean Machine EP won Best Metal Album Award, even we were performing better than ever... Sometimes you can't oversee when the time has come for some dear siblings to die. Sometimes you have to give things a rest.

. . .

But that doesn't mean I have a rock and roll break, I have joined The Sweet Leaf, a doom/stoner band formed in the nineties (more info soon to come). I was thinking, what if I open a new blog dedicated to TSL? But, it's going to be interesting to see what develops from now on and make a whole story out of all my musical work and projects. Anyhow, you can still visit Dagger's myspace and listen to some old classics, and one new track called "My Eyes Are Bleeding" which I entirely recorded myself some months ago.  

Cheers and Happy New Year all!

HOT ROD HOT CHICKS STONER BBQ



Last weekend, I was jamming with Jenny Bombo and my little brother José (we are currently forming a rock band, but will tell you later) and Jenny gave me this dvd, "Hot Chick Hot Rod Stoner BBQ" to check out. She hangs out with Lori S., from Acid King, so I had the idea that this was going to be like a stoner rock documentary.

Hell I was wrong, or wasn't I?

I've seen it twice already! I was amazed to find really cool BBQ recipes I am definetely trying home -will cook that potpopcorn for sure!-, but the shocking thing was to find, or find myself in that video.

I mean, girls like me, actually cooking, having a good time, craving for what actually enthus them in life, in this case, rides, but hell! Not anything meant to be a girly, stupid, rock pose or Paris Hilton or sexy diva or whatsoever like thousands of girls I see in Mexico.

The thing is, in my country, you have lots and lots of ride addicts, but they actually listen to reggaeton and stuff like that. They run to see the last Fast And The Furious Movie! The only place I know where you take your car for tunning up is for the solely change of woofers and cheap chinese dash stereos!. It's amazing how, there are thousands of car addicts, and still, they can't get a clearer idea of what a real tune up is. And of course, what your ride deserves to listen to.

But still, the shocking moment is that I've never imagined, hell no, and of course I'm living in a third world country, yes, my Mexican readers, we are, to see these girls already mastering oil change, advanced mechanics and talking about cars like no man I know in Mexico.

I guess, you're not surprised. Macho land, you're thinking! You're right.

Then, the heavy metal videos, man, was I suddenly in my world! Those are what I call real rock bands, not the extreme metal current idea like we're used in Mexico, The metal heads here still think that virtuoso guitar solos and mastering grind vocals are the real shit! Ever heard of Fu Manchu for instance, High Tower, Alabama Thunder Pussy? Hell no, they have no idea!

I mean, I feel misunderstood I guess. But glad to find that I should had borned closer to California!

Anyway, I reccommend this DVD, give it to your little nephew on Xmas, and contribute to save Rock n Roll!

CHICK BAND VIDEOS

Behold! My Chick Bands TOP Videos:

Let's start with the Queens of Rock n Roll, the very first ladies that dared to step onstage and play hard, and sexy too -

The Runaways / Cherry Bomb



Now, one of my favorite bands,

The Donnas, Take it off
I was so happy and felt that something was happening when they used to play this song in Mexican radio!



F*** yeah! L7 I think it was the first chick band I ever listened to! I used to think these girls were so brutal, they still are! This is true Rock n Roll girl, not "almost Rock Chick" , watch and learn before you dare to cut your hair funny and use converse shoes and chains!

L7 / Rocking Machine



I love these girls! The Donnas / Skintight

Skintight was one of the first songs I ever learned on guitar, and it rocks because of that!



Sahara Hotnights / Hot Night Crash ..
Here, I like the fact that they're playing in a small rodeo down in some town near Tijuana (?) the kind of party we make every Friday night in Mexico (haha) I also loove the looks!




I just found this video from Las Ultrasonicas / Descocada
I love the way the girl grabs the bottle and still manages to sing sweetly! "Eres mi papito"!



Behold! The best Metal Amazons! Phantom Blue. I remember well a dear friend drop me their CD, I was amazed how these girls knew how to play: shocking guitar solos, blasting riffs, powerful vocals, and hair, lots of !

Phantom Blue / Live clip



Now, Bratmobile, a Look Out Records band, toured with the Donnas, their Big sisters!
This is one of my favorite songs indeed!

Bratmobile / Eating Toothpaste



Yet another Sahara Hotnights video, this time All right All right, the very first song I listened from these Swedish rock babes. Love the bass and guitar lines in the verse:



More videos from my generation, Babes in Toyland / He's My Thing:



I adoooore The Go Go's, I know it's Pop, but GOOD Pop, and played by girls, not dancing at! They're sweet enough, good bass lines, good vocals, just remember they had one of the most important sex scandals in Rock History.

The Go Go's / Our Lips Are Sealed



And this, definetely one of my favorite songs. I met her on myspace recently!

Brigitte Handley / Alien Movies
