Univision’s Maria Elena Salinas interviewed Charlie Sheen for Aqui y Ahora for his new show, Anger Managemen, on Fox. Comments in the Latin community seem to have been pretty negative, with one blogger asking Charlie “to re-enter the Latino denial closet. He can keep Cameron Diaz, Christina Aguilera, and Jessica Alba company.“ Oh please. I think his comment that he doesn’t…

Gee, I wonder how some people stay in business here in Chillán. This is how things work here, businesses exist because their owners have the money to open one, not (necessarily) because they know anything about the corresponding craft or service they offer, nor –the least of which– do they worry about customer service. One…
Baya, no entiendo como algunas mini-empresas de provincia no quiebran. Éstas empiezan porque sus fundadores tienen algo de dinero, y no (necesariamente) por un amor al producto o calidad de servicio que proveen. Es así como funcionan las cosas aquí en Chillán, Chile donde existe poca competencia. Un tal ejemplo es como la experiencia que…
Había planeado publicar este articulo con un vídeo de canciones Nu Folk de Christian Aguila , pero después de esperar por un año y de perder contacto, decidí mover adelante sin su música de solista. Feb. 20, 2010 Finalmente tuve la oportunidad de entrevistar Christian Aguila (mejor conocido por el apodo “el Lana”). El divide…

Works by various German artists entitled Exposición Artistas Alemanes-Grabadores de Sajonia Dresden were displayed at the Museo Internacional de la Gráfica de Chillán on January 28, 2011. On the one hand there was no central theme to…
A bit of progressive Canadian rock from more than a decade ago –and probably the best song I’ve heard from the Rheostatics, although a little short for my taste.
Well, so long to SkreemR.org! They closed sometime in 2010. If you hadn’t heard about SkreemR, it was fantastic search engine that scoured the net in search of music (mp3s, podcasts, remixes, & ringtones,). Features included: a native player that allowed users to create play lists, use of metadata, and a fancy algorithm to place higher quality results…
The above is from a tribute the 2008 vh1 Hall of Fame ceremony. Wow, and I thought Prince was just going to go through the motions and join in on the sing-along. I knew he could play guitar but he blew all those other musicians away, considering they are only song writers singing from a…
I thought it was about time to publish an interview –I’d been sitting on for almost two years. Sonja San Martin is a rising Chilean photographer. Her works have been published in magazines such as Rocinante, El Sur11111111111, Colegio Médico de Chile (Medical Journal of Chile), Hatuey, and her photography has made the cover of…
