Oxomaxoma - Sin boca con los ojos negros





Oxomaxoma is one of the rarest groups ever, a pariah in its own land, Avantgarde? Progressive? Darkwave? The eerie atmospheres and the senseless vocals, lyrics are not spanish or any other language, it is a construct from a faraway land. (Magma would also invent their own language and utopian realms, but Oxomaxoma is less interested in utopias)



TRACKLISTING :
01. El tarot de acuario (nostalgia por el agogó) 4:17
02. Extraños 7:39
03. Ella mira la tranquilidad de la tarde 5:12
04. Bahía abandonado 6:37
05. Violenta 4:54
06. El ejército de la noche 6:03
07. X música 4:33
08. Mientras los angeles duermen el ogro también descansa 6:41
09. Donde sólo el silencio habla 6:38

The robot who rode with Pancho Villa



Why didn't anyone tell me that eBoilerplat, the mechanical man invented by Archibald Campion in 1893, fought alongside the Villistas against the Carrancistas in the siege of Guerrero in 1916?
It is details such as this that make me extremely disappointed in the Mexican Educational system, if only my Mexico History class had had less memorization of useless dates and names and more steam-powered mechanical men I would have made honor roll every single month!
Of course, Heidi aced history every month without needing robots or dinosaurs, but me... Some educational aids would have been handy instead of my spending the whole class figuring out why my History teacher was nicknamed "The She-wolf of the SS".

And they didn't ask it in the bimonthly exam, dang!

The art of Funky Paper Friends

We are two artists, Heidi Hinojosa, graphic designer and fashion guru and C. Augusto Valdés, playwright and critical thinker. We will be using this space to showcase the things we do and the things we like. If we see or listen to something rare and beautiful we will let you know.
Let's start things over by sharing the weird discovery that lead to the creation of this space;



Someone decided to take Heidi and I to create merchandise and they didn't even tell us! A paper doll called Monsieur Gus at Heidi dot com, that is intended to be the next internet meme, you are supposed to print Monsieur Gus and assemble it for some photoshoots.
We contacted the lawyers about a possible suit but we decided against it, because the unassembled doll is so unflattering, so I am better off disowning it and playing along.
Besides, we are going to create much better things here, so, enjoy!
