GRUPO SOÑADOR & LOS PINK CHEESE GREEN GOES - “El Paso Del Gigante”(2025)

 
I just found out that Los Pink Cheese Green Goes will be playing in a local Wings joint here in a couple of months, and I thought they had an interesting name so I looked them up. Anybody with even a rudimentary grasp of the Spanish language should be able to figure out what the Mexican/English play on words their name is.
Like Carne Asada, Los Pink Cheese Green Goes are basically an Anglo punk band, but the lead singer sings in Spanish.
 
 
I couldn't see that Los Pink Cheese Green Goes have any record releases, but there are quite a few herky jerky videos of their songs on YouTube, but the one I found most interesting was when they joined up with Beto Tlahuetl of Grupo Soñador. 
Beto is a pioneer of the keyboard and synth heavy cumbia poblana, and Grupo Soñado was formed in 1998 by Beto and his brother Richie, and these days the group includes Beto's daughters Lucero and Maritza Tlahuetl.
While some people might consider Los Pink Green Goes to be payasos, they are not joking around on this song and show just how talented they really are.
If you want something more hard and fast, then check out some of their other songs.

WHAT IS THE BEST SCREAM IN ROCK?

 Rich here. Have you ever given thought to the niche-topic of "What Song Includes the Best Scream in Rock History?" If you google the topic, you'll find all kinds of discussions and lists on the subject. Unsurprisingly, many names keep appear repeatedly in the lists for a variety of songs featuring their screams, including Ian Gillan (Deep Purple), Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), Roger Daltrey (The Who), Paul McCartney (The Beatles), Kurt Cobain (Nirvana). Various lists also include songs by other great screamers such as Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Janis Joplin, Merry Clayton (backing vocals on "Gimme Shelter"), Brad Delp (Boston), James Hetfield (Metallica), and on and on.

THE ELECTRIC TOMBSTONES - "Big Night" (1984)

 
Sometimes you just have to do it yourself!
This single by The Electric Tombstones is from my own collection, and I also have it for sale on Discogs.
It's a great song, and even though there are other songs by The Electric Tombstones on YouTube, I couldn't find this one, so since I have a copy I decided to upload it myself. I hope the band doesn't mind!
This song is from 1984 and is the flipside of a song you can find on youTube titled 
"The Ghost Of Beethoven (And His Cadillac)," but I like this one better!

THE FOLK IMPLOSION - "One Part Lullaby" (1999)

"One Part Lullaby" was The second release from The Folk Implosion, and it came out in 1999. 

 
The following year, a song from that album was released around the world everywhere except the United States. 
Does that say something about the musical tastes in this country?
No wonder commercial radio in this country sucks! They think we'd rather listen to "Freebird" for the thousandth time instead of something cool like this.
Twenty-six years later, and nothing has changed!

THAT PETROL EMOTION - "End Of The Millennium Psychosis Blues" (1988)

 
It's 1988, and a Northern Irish band called "That Petrol Emotion" came out with an album called "End Of The Millennium Psychosis Blues."
That's quite an energetic title but this band accomplished living up to it.
Wind it up, and let it go!

R. STEVIE MOORE - "Glad Music" (1986)

 
I never got to communicate with R. Stevie Moore back in the 80's. He's one of the few who come to mind that I wish I had traded tapes with, but it just never happened. 
Here's one of the reasons why I wish I had.

THE CREEPS - "Enjoy The Creeps" (1986)

 
Oops! Sorry to the five people who came here today and found a blank page. I got lost in time, but now I'm back, and at least I got the smoke alarms installed, and speaking of getting lost in time, here's a great tune straight out of Älmhult, Sweden, by the retro band The Creeps, and their 1986 release titled
 "Enjoy The Creeps!"
