The Pocho Ocho worst Valentine’s Day gifts evah?
8. Candy Bra: Lets face it, dude, the gift wasn’t really for your girl — it was for your own enjoyment. If eating chalky conversation hearts is what turns you on, you might as well just give her one. Plus, you could have thrown it on her body when she was 
naked. Now you just wasted $14.95 instead of Brachs conversation hearts which are 99 cents.
7. Humidifer: Don’t buy shit just because it’s on sale, unless he or she has severe allergies. Do not let yourself look like a mouth breather.
6. Electric Blanket: I know, I know, I actually got this as a gift on Valentine’s Day. He explained that because he had a Jeep I should take it along when we go out. Shortly after the relationship ended, the blanket ended as well when my niece spilled her Dora the Explorer juice box all over it.

We didn’t see you yesterday in Jerome Richfield 118 at 3:30, hermana. We passed out these flyers, you know.
PREVIOUSLY ON MEChA:
Screw Dora the Explorer and her pinche monkey too
I’ve got a problem with Dora the Explorer. I know you do too.
What the hell is the matter with television’s longest running bilingual toon whore?
This passive-aggressive little cow yells too much.
She asks a question, then waits silently for the answer while staring at you like a creep. I swear she can see me through the TV screen!
This unemployed bitch has been on air for almost 13 years now and she hasn’t figured out why her backpack is on acid and why her pet monkey stole her boots.
Ask the monkey, it fucking talks, dumbass!
Dear Guy Who Just Made My Burrito: Have you ever been to Earth?
This is an epic rant by @LuckyShirt, who says he is not really THAT angry:
Have you ever been to Earth? On Earth, we use the word “burrito” to describe a tortilla filled with things you eat.
Pretty simple stuff, and I’m surprised you at least got that part right. My burrito was, in fact, filled with food. In this, you and I agree and are friends.

Maybe it’s me. I mean no one else gets presents like this, do they? This year, mi cholo got me action figure condoms!
Hard to believe I know, but it’s been worse. Here’s my list of the pocho ocho worst Christmas presents evah:
8. Flan-flavored vodka

La Chata’s Music Box: Outernational ‘The Beginning Is Here’ (video)
La Chata’s Music Box presents spankin’-good Spanglish ska from Outernational – The Beginning Is Here, the first video from the activist New York collective’s latest CD (Todos Somos Ilegales We are All Illegal.) (NSFW lyrics.) The title track video (with special guest stars!) is right here, and the band is on the Pocho Hour of Power today at 4PM PDT on KPFK.

Fitter shoots first music video in El Salvador: ‘The Coconut Tree’
Check out The Coconut Tree, the new reggae-toned psychedelic video from Los Angeles band Fitter, shot in El Salvador. Fitter is James Ramirez, drums; Wilfredo Mendez, vocals, guitar and congas; and Edgardo Velasquez, bass and timbales. One question for the band: How can you shoot a vid in El Salvador and not feature a single pupusa? 😉
La Chata’s Music Box: Maluca charms the boys in ‘El Tigeraso’ (video)
I truly believe that Lady Gaga stole this New York Dominicana’s hairstyle. “Maluca” in Spanish is a derivative of “Mala” which means bad or mean girl; in Portuguese “maluca” means crazy or mischievous. Maluca Mala’s performances are filled with heat and intensity. Keep your eye on this lady, folks, she makes heads turn, just like in the video!
La Chata’s Music Box: If it’s Friday, it’s got to be FIshbone (video)
Local heroes Fishbone join PRIMUS at the Greek Theater next week and we predict a lot of boot-stompin’ fun and all kinds of adrenaline running from the stage pouring back into the crowd. See you there?
Happy birthday to Morrissey, the moody Brit who stole Latino hearts
Happy fifty-third birthday, Steven Patrick Morrissey!
You would might think he was dead, with all the tribute bands and karaoke nights and even a whole convention in his honor. The real fans, of course, will be at an actual concert, like tonight’s show in San Diego, where the venue will be filled with lonely misfits who spend a lot of time in their bedrooms. I have been a fan since 1993.
Yes, I was an odd third grader, but we can blame my older sister for that.
In 2009, while my pal uber-fan Dagenham Dave was looking for a friend in Seattle he spotted the Mozza and did what each Morrissey fan does when they meet him. He asked Morrissey to sign a part of his body so he could later get it tattooed. I haven’t gotten there yet; I’m a little rusty on my stalking tactics since gas prices went up. I should start contacting the Arab side of the family.

LaChata’s Music Box: Aztlan Underground’s newest video ‘Our Nature’
With love from LaChata: For 20 years, Aztlan Underground has presented an evolution of consciousness intertwined with pre-Colombian thoughts, feelings and sounds. In a search for the other — the unknown — Aztlan Underground gives birth to a visceral sound that challenges listeners.
Check out their new, visually-stunning music video Our Nature. It starts with indigenous drums, channels the apocalyptic opera of the Doors and celebrates the natural animal spirit that inhabits us all.
From the hidden vaults of the Mayan pyramids, two more videos below:

El Conjunto Nueva Ola is chido! ‘Chido Chido’ actually (music video)
TGIF Music Video from La Chata’s Music Box: El Cunjunto Nueva Ola — a crew of masked cumbia-loving luchadores — has a new album out called Chido Chido. No, no I am not saying it’s chido (cool in English.) Well, actually, it is. This tune is called Cumbia Town.
La Chata’s Music Box: Rocksteady fever from The Delirians
TGIF Music Video: The Delirians from East Los include members of Arise Roots and Upground. They make fun, infectious rocksteady and ska. If this live performance music video doesn’t result in your doing a happy chair dance, see a doctor.

Pocho Ocho items every pocha should carry in her purse
8. Aqua Net: Yeah, for hair, stupid. But I also use this for multiple things like bug spray, deodorant, and even as a substitute for glue.
7. Mazapan: Marzipan is a yummy almond-flavored treat and mazapan is a similar treat made with peanuts. Instead of eating like a horse on your date, pop one of these in your mouth to hold you, you don’t want to look like my homegirl La Piggy.
6. Morning After Pill: I know you have probably taken this within the last two months but it’s quite all right, I am a ho, too. Always be prepared, Junior does not need a little brother.
