"I love spaghetti. And I like to cook spaghetti. And I used to eat it every day. I weighed thirty pounds more than I do now. You can’t — you can’t do that."
Heard this on the radio yesterday. It's by an Austin band called The Eastern Sea and it's just kinda sublime.
"La Cumbia del Rio" is by Los Pikadientes de Caborca, (Which is a name that deserves its own blog post, I think.), who hail from the Mexican state of Sonora. Their music reflects a sense of humor that is a requirement of Mexicanos these days. (Another one of their songs, "I Love You Te Amo," contains the lyric, "I love you mucho! Un chingo!") The album this is off of, Vámonos Pa'l Rio got a Grammy nod this year. Visit them on MySpace for more good times.
I don't even like this song, but this video is amazing.
