Un 18 de agosto de 1936, hace 89 años, por la madrugada, los fascistas fusilaban a Federico García Lorca, por marica, por rojo, por raro.
No sabían que algunas almas ignoran la muerte.
Malditos fachos,
Salud.
:: El tótem del lobo ::
El lobo es uno de los animales que más simbolismo mágico han tenido a lo largo de la historia. Representante del Inframundo, el gran devorador, una fuerza destructora; pero también encarnación de las mayores virtudes: coraje, fuerza, astucia y honor.
"The Bad Touch" was created when Bloodhound Gang's frontman Jimmy Pop was at home marathoning the Discovery Channel and saw monkeys having sex on TV. Frustrated, he thought, "Damn, even the animals are having sex and I'm here writing lyrics for another stupid album." This moment directly inspired the song's legendary chorus. The video, recorded in Paris, became one of the most iconic music videos of the 2000s, with more than 550 million views.
While it peaked at #52 on the US Billboard Hot 100, the track was a massive international phenomenon, reaching #2 in the UK and #1 in Germany, Spain, and Italy. Built around musical interpolations of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" and Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax", its infectious groove provided the perfect contrast to the band's irreverent humour.
"The Reason" is from Hoobastank's 2003 album of the same name. The emotional rock ballad became the band's biggest hit, peaking at #2 on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it was kept from the top spot by Usher's "Yeah!", and spending months on the charts. Written by all four members of Hoobastank, the lyrics were described by singer Doug Robb as a personal reflection on recognizing one's flaws and wanting to become a better person.
The music video, directed by Brett Simon, avoids a typical breakup story in favor of a clever, twist-filled heist. Its cinematic storytelling, unexpected ending and constant misdirection made it one of MTV's most memorable rock videos of the 2000s and provided a striking contrast to the song's introspective lyrics.
