Lazy Sunday: Armand Van Helden - you don't know me

Classic Track from the late nineties that was a huge commercial success for Mr. Van Helden at a time when it was ok to dress like Ali G....Respect. To be honest, he dresses like whatever is the latest fashion in Hip Hop....I think right now it's neon skinny jeans and shutter shades. Say what you want, the man really knows hwo to embrace a trend. I mean...even after 911 he had turntables from Pakistan, and you really can't fuck wit that.

ps: I dress like that too (...Jesus I'm such a poser!)

Art: Keith Haring (was a Sneakerhead too!)

Keith Haring has always been a hero of ours here at Manifest Destitute. Not only was his work incredibly appealing but he also had a social purpose for it. Recently a new documentary on his work debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival, and although I couldn't find a way to embed the trailer for it, you can find it here. Christina Clausen's Documentary tittled "The Universe of Keith Haring" offers a personal glimpse into Haring's life, from growing up in a small, conservative Pennsylvania town to the Downtown New York scene of the '80s and the success that turned him into an icon of the 20th Century.

Here's another Documentary called "Drawing the Line" from 1989. Enjoy!

Musica: Happy Cinco de Mayo Bitches!!!

Que Onda everybody! Listos para celebrar este Cinco de Mayo!!!? Pues aqui en Manifesto Destituto nosotros no la estamos pasando de la mejor manera con un seis de Corona, unos taquitos de Chorizo, y un tequilita pa despues de comer. Y como de costumbre aqui estamos para brindarles los mejores exitos de Discoteca de Ayer, Mañana, y Hoy. Y para los nolstalgicos de los noventa...pues aqui les dejo lo mejor del sonido "casa" o sea "house". Vale mis niños, TODOS A BAILAR!!! (y a mover ese culo!!!)

Calo - Ponte Atento: Mexican Hip-House band that I was actually really into at the age of 7. Dude...at least it wasn't Menudo! They also have a song about tacos (not kidding) and one about crashing a Yatch Paty (hot beat). Really...who doesn't love boobs and tacos?!

Locomia - Rumba Samba Mambo: well....This is Spanish gay house at its prime. You take Madonna's Vogue, sprinkle more gay, add some Latin spice, and you've gone a little too far! You can also catch them Dancing in the Background for the Petshop Boys Here...and for Duran Duran Here! (ps: did you notice Simon Le Bon with his Stussy Hoodie? 1988 was fabulous!)

Gerardo - Rico Suave: And how could you forget this? This is like the original Latin Lover's Anthem. I mean... I sing it in front of the mirror EVERYDAY just to remind myself of how Rico and Suave I am...no joke. John Leguizamo... he knows exactly what I'm talking about.

Projecto Uno - El Tiburon: Ah...this is a CLASSIC. Another Latin Lover Anthem about the problems with keepin' it real. If you want a party, play this and never look back... booty shaking guaranteed.
