my new obsession: MALUCA 2:03 AM
if you haven’t heard of her, you will. before monday i had not heard of her either, i had planned to go to one of my favorite destinations on monday nites in downtown la (mustache) with a friend. besides having awesome music mustache also presents an array of performance artist, singers, dancers, drag queens, lets just say performers of all types. i was checking out flyer for the event and headlining was maluca, decided to look her up… found out she is from nyc and she has a single out produced by diplo. i was intrigued and had to listen to it.
the single is called “el tigreaso” (which you can listen to below)
which i loved!!! i was excited to see her perform. unfortunately she only performed 2 songs i believe (i had one to many drinks) i had to go up to her and tell her that i loved her, she was a doll and super sweet. she also took a picture with us. she also let us know that she was going to be playing the day after at another bar in la.
day after decided that we loved maluca so much that we had to see her last performance in la. we left my place around 10pm it takes us about 35-45 minutes to get to la… well it took us 2 hours… partly my fault, partly not…
one there was traffic
two we missed the freeway
three the freeway on the opposite direction was closed so we had to do a detour
and lastly we made a wrong turn and ended up in a not so pretty side of town.
finally we made it to the sliver platter found parking a few blocks up
walking up to the club and we see maluca standing outside, we’re both hoping that she hasn’t played yet.
we went up to her and say hello and ask her if she’d played yet, she said no that she had been waiting for us.my friend called her a ”mentirosa” (liar in spanish) we all laughed.
we went on to tell her that it took us 2 hours to get there, she was very thankful that we’d do that just to see her. and told us she’d make it worth it, and she did she performed i believe it was about 4 or 5 numbers. she went all out, i can’t wait for a single or ep from her!

fave albums of 2008 12:26 PM
my favorite albums of 2k8...
2k8 totally sucked, for me at least... for a number of reasons that i won't go into at the moment, anyway these albums helped me escape my reality... music= best therapy. its not a top 10 or 25 list. it's just my favorites it would take me a long time to decided which are better, and some you can't even compare so here they are:
morrissey - greatest hits
anything ever released by this man will always be on my list.
yeah... it's a greatest hits album and i have all these songs,
but it's fucking MORRISSEY!
like i always say, "most people pray to jesus, i pray to morrissey."
lykke li – youth novels
prior to this year i had never heard of ms. li, this album is amazing.
hercules & the love affair - self titled
i heart me some antony ... so this was just fucking amazing!
conor oberst- self titled
i downloaded the album... and it took me a while to actually listen to it, but once i did i couldn't stop.
crystal castels – self titled
2 words electro - fab
girl talk – feed the animals
you won't understand until you listen
she & him – volume one
i would go str8 for zooey... love this album <3>
santogold – self titled
i had a raw version of the album that i loved, when the actual album was released i thought they over edited ... but i still loved it!
robyn – robyn
who would have thought she would make a comeback? well she did!
meiko – self titled (re-released)
i've seen her become an artist... met the girl a handful of times, very sweet.. just like her music. so glad she finally got signed!
eric hutchinson – sounds like this (re-released)
he also got signed! if you ever see him live he make the funniest facial expressions when singing .
the smiths - the sound of the smiths
i've already expressed my feelings for morrissey.. so ofcourse anything by the smiths would be on here too. no, i do not believe they will ever reunite.
vampire weekend – self titled
i bought this album because @postgay told me a should, great buy!
kylie minogue – x
best dance album! why didnt you tour the us?
lady gaga – the fame
after reading about her in w, i could not wait... worth the wait
natalie portman’s shaved head – glistening pleasure
