Happy 60th Post!

Yes. 60 cheese-tastic and very pointless posts.

For those of you who requested, here is the rest of the video: (the one with the aztec and his unbelievably amazing headress that I could never recreate even if I tried real hard.)

Here's some of what you saw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9OewnRP0uw

Isn't it delicious?! :)

So it's a theatrical re-enactment of the Spanish conquering the Aztecs (and all indigenous populations, for that matter) blah blah they fight, Aztecs lose because the Mayans are pussies and gave in, therefore the original plan to kill the Spanish and use them as sacrifice so the gods could bless and multiply their culture fails. The spanish inflict and force their culture, religion, language and weapons upon the Aztecs and all of the poor Aztecs' beloved belongings such as sacred rituals for mother earth, poetry, dialects, MUSIC and children are removed never to be seen in whole again. Well, that much isn't re-enacted, but let's pretend :) I'm here to educate you :D


I'm currently trying to get hold of some prehispanic drums. At this point in time, any drums (not the set) that my trick uneducated peepz into thinking they're Aztec drums. I had an offer to some ancient asian drums and apparently I'm willing to look into it. I mean, live drumming is so much more exciting than a recording of it, right? Could you come any slower, international week? Give me some more timeeee!
