Is Too! Chilean Music
Some cool music to get you through the hot summer day. Also hope to cool down memory of the polemic I created calling all this Chilean Music, "not". 'Tis. But blandness never got Vicente Sanfuentes reading anyone's blog, now did it. Well, it did. I just don't know how Leo Prieto does it. Is there life beyond antagonism? Only one way to know for sure.
Not only is all this music Chilean, but it's fucking fantastic:
Original Hamster So hot that readers with epilepsy are advised not to open this link. Was that antagonistic? Did I set the flashy background?
Okay, starting now, no antagonism:
Los Mono Great stuff! (I never said it wasn't).
Sebastian Silva
Sebastian via CHC
Funky C
Surtek Collective
Gepe A departure...
I mean whatever these are just some selected artists once you get into the myspaces there's no stopping you. If you ever make it back tell me if there actually is life after antagonism.
Oh yeah, speaking of departing from Latin Funk, here's a group I heard over a year ago, Chilean rock recorded in Williamsburg, you can listen to it all online...Nutria (Spanish for "otter").
UPDATE: I should have mentioned this earlier but I'm tired of wankers so if you're gonna flaunt "your" coolness gained entirely by other people's music then please save it for the cows because you're gonna regret it: I'll explain to you exactly why you are, in the case of Julio Osses, a hick. As for Seba, whose tone fluctuates between "angst-ridden teenager" and "uneducated housewife", there's nothing I can do because he's really well-adjusted and loves himself so I'll just fight fire with fire and say: Thanks for the suggestion! (He recommended Los Tetas). That's some funk-hee shee-it.
Los Tetas
Groove on!
And it's that spirit that I bring you to the point of this update. If you don't have anything nice to say, shut the fuck up. This post is about music, not your personal insecurities (or background in agriculture). Thanks :-)

Thanks! I've been looking for some Chilean music, but I didn't try very hard, and the best I could do was "El Cuarteto De Nos" which isn't even Chilean. But it is good.

I will cherish this information until it bores me. Then I will search for newer Chilean music.
jaja
tantas vueltas para que te dieras cuenta que estabas absolutamente perdido.
I found quite amusing the way you discarded Los Mono as being rather "un-Chilean" because it sounded much like Los Amigos Invisibles (I wonder who influenced THEM?) only to have Mr. Sanfuentes himself break it down for you. Almost as ridiculous as saying the vossa nova movement in Brazil is un-Brazilian.
Now that you've finally aquired a higher taste in Chilean music maybe you should listen to Los Tetas. Then again, you might not be ready.
I found quite amusing the way Julio and Seba are jumping on a bandwagon of "I told you so" when it was, um, me who first whipped the horses.
:P
Way to really call me out guys. Geez, I'd be so lost without you.
Julio, if taking a controversial stance (which benefited my blog by sparking discussion) and then immediately, in the same post, noting my own mistakes, and then opening up the forum for discussion in conscientious manner is "lost" then...well, you didn't graduate third grade for nothin, as they say.
And anyway, we know you weren't lost at all, Julio, but why did you delete your own comments last time? Was your own wisdom so blinding? (I certainly wasn't reaching for my shades).
Seriously, though, Julio, I had like four different people tell me via chat/email/phone that they thought you were kinda stupid. I think one of them said "jackass". This was all in private, sorry to bring it up. I mean, I thought I should just tell you. So these were people who disagreed with my point of view about Chilean music, right, but they were able to dialog intelligently with me about it. Similar to Vicente.
Take it or leave it, Julio, this is just a friendly heads up - the way you express yourself: you sound like a hick. Oh, you know already? That's why you deleted your own comments? Ah, cool. Never mind then - what? Oh yeah...no worries...chau.
Seba, it's a statement like:
>>>Now that you've finally aquired a higher taste in Chilean music maybe you should listen to Los Tetas. Then again, you might not be ready
which has "I love myself" written all over it. You're 22, way past those intolerably self-righteous teenage years, your condescension is a product of your own wit. It is well earned, and has nothing to do with absurdly and arbitrarily earned "status" or "maturity" for having clicked on a certain myspace link. Nay, you stand on your own two feet, and regard others squarely. Might I add that you come off as quite a self-assured young man - in a good way. Truly, Self-Love at its highest potential.
What's that? In an earlier post you claimed...? It's unbelievable...no, you must've been joking...Seba you, you said - you said you had a "self hating complex"???
Impossible.
I mostly indulge in "self-loathing" when I visit this forsaken blog as an attempt to retain some of my fading Chilean qualities. Living in another country has its drawbacks, as I'm sure you must know.
Otherwise I'm rather self-righteous, much like you described. In case you haven't realized by now, my interaction with you is mostly reactionary. Thus, my condescension only comes as a reaction to yours.
We are not so different, you and I. Your gringo-like condescension and my Chilean-like self loathing are both qualities that seem to come and go. The only difference is that one of us chooses to ignore his own shortcomings.
Anyway, keep your misplaced judgements coming. Quite amusing. Los Tetas are (were) good, seriously.

'Ah, Vladimir, we are not so different, you and I. We are both men of taste in a tasteless world. Do you know how many compromises I have made in my life? Do you know the things I have done ... '
'Yes, I know,' Vladimir told the apparatchik. 'I do not judge you.'
'Likewise,' Frantisek said. 'Now remember: cruelty, anger, vindictiveness, humiliation. These are the four cornerstones of Soviet society. Master them and you will do well. Tell these people how much you despise them and they will build you statues and mausoleums.'
I don't know what just happened.
In any case, Seba, let me respond in earnest. First of all, I appreciate Los Tetas despite the mocking tone. Secondly, you said:
The only difference is that one of us chooses to ignore his own shortcomings.
Not me. Remember who whipped the horses in this bandwagon of, e-hem, self-criticism. Also, although I didn't hit you over the head with a hammer I think it'd be evident to anyone with more than a pea-sized brain, that I differentiated the way you condescend to the way I condescend. I said to you, with obvious sarcasm:
>>>your condescension is a product of your own wit
I never denied that I condescend, but simply pointed out that I don't rely on other people's artwork when I talk down to you.
Your problem, Seba, is that you pay lipservice to your own shortcomings, but you don't really have the strength to dig down deep and feel the abysmal pangs of remorse which you ought to feel. Not only do you hate yourself, but you are shallow.
I want my statue now! ;-)
Quite amusing...quite amusing...quite amusing.
Note from Chileno: I got this second little jewel of wisdom from Seba late so I'm moving it down here, Seba said:
And by the way, I wasn't calling you out. Not at all. Please. As I clearly stated, I was only describing the reason why I found the whole "situation" amusing.
This as a result of your rather incendiary, convoluted thinking pattern. Funny stuff. Keep them coming, cowboy!
I'm glad you are titillated, baron, but your slipperiness ain't that funny. You were too "calling me out" that oozes from your self-righteous tone, whether or not you're self-aware enough to realize it. Someone with so much pent up bitterness as yourself isn't "quite amused" and anyway, where'd you learn to write like that? Ick, it's so lame and pseudo-professorial. Get real, man.
I thought "nutria" was a furry-friend.

"Since then Los Bunkers - which I showed incredible restraint and didn't go to - and this Thursday night almost didn't go see Javiera Parra but at the last minute buckled: Javiera y los Imposibles y I don't regret it."

So am I misunderstanding, or do you have something against Los Bunkers? If so, what's wrong with Los Bunkers? Why the restraint?
You are misunderstanding. Puzzle it out.
What about Rodrigo Jarque? He's done some soundtracks for the Chilean director Matias Bize - this is how I found out about his music. I find him quite amazing, although I've only listened to his stuff on myspace and last.fm
