Úlfur Eldjárn - Poyekhali! (Live on KEXP)

This week, Alt.Latino takes a deep dive into the animated Fox sitcom Bordertown with two of its writers, Lalo Alcaraz and Gustavo Arellano. Alcaraz is also the author of the Latino-themed syndicated comic strip La Cucaracha, while Arellano writes an advice column called Ask A Mexican for OC Weekly in Orange County, Calif.
A Most Imperfect Union champions the progress and ideals of the U.S. while recognizing its missteps.
History Goes To The Illustrators: 'A Contrarian History Of The United States'
Together, they offer some behind-the-scenes insight into the creative process of the show, describe the pitfalls of ethnically based humor and discuss how they got away with joking about the Pope's skills with his chancla. This is a historic moment for prime-time TV viewing in the U.S., so it's a pleasure to bring in two guys who are helping to write that history.

The artist and thinker, who just released a new album that's only one part of a larger multimedia conception, takes us from the drummers of Burundi to Adam Ant, Octavia Butler to David Bowie, Rakim to Young Thug. We also hit on ageism in rap, artistry for sale and how to work interviews.

Asadinho
https://www.xlr8r.com/podcasts/2016/02/podcast-426-asadinho/
Asadinho, whose identity, until now has remained a little obscure, is the latest chosen alias of DJ-producer, Asad Rizvi. The name is unlikely to be as instantly recognizable as some of those selected to submit their mix to the XLR8R podcast series, but the London-based artist, who has been silently plying his trade for the best part of two decades, has never been one to actively promote himself via the plentiful channels available today. His most prominent release under this latest moniker came in the form of a Lana Del Rey remix—but his other works, which have been presented under a variety of different monikers and via imprints including Om, Global Underground and Loveslap, are reflective of someone with an undeniable talent for production and great love for doing so. Accompanying this is his DJing, an endeavor that has seen him travel the world over and visit some of the world's best clubs including Fabric (London), XOYO (London), Stereo (Montreal), and The End Up & Mighty (San Francisco)—in part due to the assortment of genres and influences presented throughout all of his sets. Having seen Rizvi perform on several occasions along America's West Coast, we invited him back to capture this sonic diversity in a mix. Listening back to the recording, it's fair to say he achieved just this.
Wine Women and War Six Million Dollar Man Rare Opening and Closing Sequence
April 25 2014 / 25 de abril 2014
Now, this is a rarity. This is the original opening and closing of the Six Million Dollar Man TV series of the 1970's, with none other than Dusty Springfield singing.
¿Alguien se acuerda de esto? Yo sí. Esa es la apertura y cierre ORIGINAL de la serie televisiva El Hombre Nuclear de los años 70. Se usó en los primeros dos episodios. No es la canción instrumental de Oliver Nelson que los chiquillos de mi generación recordamos tan bien. ¡Esa es la voz de nada menos que Dusty Springfield!

Contact Opening Scene
Contact is a 1997 American science fiction drama film directed by Robert Zemeckis. It is a film adaptation of Carl Sagan's 1985 novel of the same name; Sagan and his wife Ann Druyan wrote the story outline for the film.
Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan began working on the film in 1979. Together, they wrote a 100+ page film treatmentand set up Contact at Warner Bros. with Peter Guber and Lynda Obst as producers. When development stalled on the film, Sagan published Contact as a novel in 1985 and the film adaptation was rejuvenated in 1989. Roland Jofféand George Miller had planned to direct it, but Joffé dropped out in 1993 and Warner Bros. fired Miller in 1995. Robert Zemeckis was eventually hired to direct, and filming for Contact lasted from September 1996 to February 1997. Sony Pictures Imageworks handled most of the visual effects sequences.

Mood II Swing
Mood II Swing are basically untouchable.
Lem Springsteen and John Ciafone released too many great records to count in the 1990s, both originals and remixes for the likes of Kim English and Fonda Rae. Although they were a house duo, their drum programming – skippier and more intricate than most house of the time – was hugely influential to the sound of UK garage, and like Armand Van Helden and Todd Edwards, they’re as respected amongst UK heads as US.
