El 8 de Octubre de 1985 -dos semanas despues del terremoto del 19 de Septiembre que azoto a Mexico- FLANS vio la luz por primera vez, (aunque no se ha comprobado jamas que hayan sido consecuencia directa del lamentable sismo).

Este grupo conformado por las Mexicanas Ivonne Margarita Guevara Garcia e Irma Angelica Hernandez Ochoa ('la mimi') y acompanadas por Maria Oliva Schewein Furth; fue de un éxito de dimensiones epicas, no solo en Mexico sino en toda Latinoamerica, e incluso poco tiempo despues cruzo el 'charco' y azoto a Espana. En Marzo de 1990 y despues de una exitosa carrera la 'FLANS' deciden desintegrarse (debido a estos cinco arduos anos de trabajo en pro de la musica Latinoamericana) y asi nos dejaron de dar lata estas mechipintadas de copete 'alf', vestidos de pano gigantezcos (en las que cabrian con todo y 'alf') y los muy famosos 'converse all stars'.

Aqui hago un pequeno homenaje (inmerecido) a estas divas de la cancion pop ochentera y a todos los que sobrevivimos el movimiento telurico para tener que soportarlas. Jesus mio, como sonaba esa cancion hasta en la sopa. ...no controles mis sentidos, no controles mis vestidos...no controles...bla bla...

Para alegria de algunos pocos, las FLANS se reencontraron tiempo despues es una fecha que no vale la pena ni mencionar y segun nuestro equipo investigativo, realizaron su ultima gira por alla en monterrey en el 2005.


In October the 8th of 1985 –two weeks after the earthquake which devastated Mexico (September the 19th)- FLANS came to life for the very first time, (albeit it has not been proved it was as a consequence of the natural disaster). This group, formed by Mexicans Ivonne Margarita Guevara Garcia and Irma Angelica Hernandez Ochoa ('la mimi') and teamed up by Venezuelan Maria Oliva Schewein Furth; was a success of epic dimensions not just in Mexico, but also, in the whole Latin-America, even crossing the Atlantic and threatening Spain.

In March 1990 and after a successful career ‘FLANS’ decided to break up due to those five years of thorough work for Latin-American music) allowing us to have a rest from these Alf-like blond dyed tuft girls, tucked into huge blazers (which could easily contain also Alf himself) and the largely known ‘Converse all stars’.

Here there is a little (non deserved) ‘homage’ to these pop divas form the 80’s and all those whose survived the Earthquake to have the misfortune to stand them.

Volan's last will.

This is a picture of the envelope I received. On September the 29th I received a letter sent from London Metropolitan Police’s forensic department. The envelope contains Volan’s death report. I am still recovering from such a terrible moment. As Volan’s closest (and perhaps sole) friend I am in the obligation of publishing these lines on his own blog, as it was his last will. In strange circumstances my dearest friend Volan passed away in the dawn of the 23rd of September in Homerton Hospital in London. His body was carted off from the churchyard of Saint Paul’s Cathedral after a mad night out with Siobhan (Sweeny), -an Irish-Scottish blues singer whose Volan had just met few hours before in the surrounding areas of Anexo Bar, close to Farringdon Station. At the moment that the ambulance arrived at the place Volan showed a critical state and almost without vital signals dying a while after indoors, in the above mentioned hospital. The death certificated shows a very cryptic language ...

Siete cosas que nadie sabe de mi... (conque puedo mentir)

Aceptando la tarea que gloqui me dejo en la cajita de mensajes me dispongo a enumerar siete secretos que nadie sabe sobre mi (de saberlo no serian secretos). Para empezar, estuve dandole una mirada a los siete secretos de otros blogeros y la verdad la mayoria terminan siendo un listado de "siete cosas" que me gustan o no, o "siete caracteristicas de mi personalidad". Asi que para dejarnos de bobadas voy a revelar "siete cosas que mucha gente no sabe de mi" (teniendo en cuenta que el 99.9999% de los blogeros no me conocen en persona pues tampoco me afecta demasiado el resultado de estas terribles revelaciones -menos interesantes que las de la Virgen de Fatima pero mas trascendentales en mi vida cotidiana. Here I go.... 1. Soy dislexico desde chiquito. 2. Las mujeres con la que he estado alguna vez en mi vida ya estan felizmente casadas y tiene hijos y hogares estables. 3. Estuve preso por 48 horas. La razon no es importante, sin embargo no me arrepiento....

Norman McLaren was one of the most significant abstract filmmakers of the British inter-war period. Born in 1914 in Stirling, Scotland, he entered the Glasgow School of Fine Arts in 1932, where he became interested in film and joined the School's Kine Society. His earliest extant film, Seven Till Five (1933), a "day in the life of an art school", was clearly influenced by Eisenstein and displays a strongly formalist attitude. (more)
