LUCHA LIBRE

Well it's been a while and christmas has just been (i hope you all had a good one) so today my topic is "Lucha Libre". I recently just got this comic, i had found it a little while back and it caught my interest unfortunately i had to wait until today to get my mitts upon this item and let my eyes roam freely across it's glossy full colour pages.


It is brilliant. A cracking book.
The art style is delicious, action-filled, colourful and the story is interesting and funny.

So what is this comic book i so suddenly have fallen in love with about?

Lucha Libre is an anthology of comic books that are written by Jerry Frissen. The comic is regularly illustrated by Gobi, Bill, Fabien M., Hervé Tanquelle, Nikola Witko along with several other guest artists (again, the style of the illustrations is superb).

There are various stories about a range of characters.

Firstly there are the Luchadores 5.

These guys are a group of 5 middle aged latino men who all don lucha libre masks and protect east L.A. They face arange of unusual and entertaining foes but are usually seen by the pulic as a group of overgrown nerds rather then a group of superheroes.

Then there is Tequila.

Tequila is another who dons a lucha libre mask and faces the daily rigors of married life in a trailer park but ends up on the run as he is framed for the death of a friend.

The Tikitis.

A team of supposedly science minded superheroes (who also wear lucha libre masks, of course) who have retired to a small island in the South Pacific and charged with preventing its strongest resident 'King Katch' from leaving the island.

There are more characters that i have yet to discover as i only have this one book and i'm sure there are a many few of these stories that have yet to be read but i can say this book has won my heart. I've already grown fond of the Luchadores five, particularly Red Demon and Dr. Pantera (though i like all 5 of them of course) and i do so like Tequila and his wife Cheryl very much. But enough talk about this, i'm sure you can go read up more information about this if you wanna know more but i must say, if you like the sound of it, buy it, it's brilliant or at least in my opinion it is.

Let's start this shit then....

Well, today i'm gonna talk about music.

Lately i've been finding some very cool tunes but there are some new bands that i was introduced to a while back by a good friend.

These bands i would like to recommend to any one who likes music like : The klaxons, CSS, Daft Punk etc.

First things first: Metronomy

These are an electric music group.
The current band consists of Joseph Mount(Composer, Singer, Keyboards and Guitar), Oscar Cash (Saxophone, Backing Vocals and Keyboards) and Gabriel Stebbing (Keyboards, Backing Vocals and Bass Guitar)

I once visited Oscar Cash's myspace music page, he had some pretty sweet redo's of songs worth checking out especially his version of golden skans.

Songs that i would recommend are : Radio Ladio, My Heart Rapid, Thing for me (i don't know if they have released this yet) and Heartbreaker.

Second recommendation: Late Of The Pier (LOTP)

They have done some amazing stuff that makes you just wana get up and groove along.

I like all the songs on their album "Fantasy Black Channel" of which i would recommend also. Particularly i like : The Bears are Coming, Space and the Woods, Broken and Bathroom Gurgle.


Thirdly (for people who like Kate Nash or folk/acoutic stuff): Laura Marling

She does Folk-Pop and man has she got some beautiful songs going on.
My mother introduced me to her music and the first song i fell in love with was "The Man Who Sings About Romance", i have seen this brilliant tune go by a few other names such as The Man Sings and The Man He Sings, i can't find it on youtube but i did find it on imeem.

Some other songs i really do love by her are: Ghosts, Mexico and It's Only My Opinion.

I don't hear about many people liking these artist very often but they, in my opinion, are worth a listen, you might find a song you like.

Be sure to tell me if you're a fellow fan or even just say that you liked something here or even recommend something else by these people.

So dig open those earholes and let the music flow~~
