OK, I’m sure some folks are really excited about the Free Taco’s for America promotion during this year’s World Series…

In a truly bizzare twist of cultural irony- the gringo suits at Taco Bell Inc. thought it’d be awesome if they encouraged overpaid minorities to steal, then rewarded degenerate America with another slap-in-the-face to real-Mex-cuisine- a powdered beef shit-taco…talk about Soiling America’s Passtime.

After a long 10 hour day at work, and nothing much to do this evening, I got the feeling I got to ramble… So I head down to where I used to dwell, Riverside area in South Austin. Thank god I just paid my car insurance, one thing about driving on the East Side, especially around Oltorf and Riverside is that folks drive like cock-asses. After dodging low riders and angry community college kids, I decide to go down memory lane and drive by my old misery pit, my old apartment complex in South Austin. Chevy Chase Downs, I actually picked the place because it was named after Chevy Chase, it had two pools and looked pretty depressing. Read the rest of this entry »

Take that, music industry. This will turn out to be a historical touchstone in the evolution of the record business.
Why Radiohead? Because they have all the ingredients to spearhead this revolution.. They know that their art has value.. and that it lives on its own without the need for a marketing machine or a billboard chart. This is not pop music.

Its the dawn of a new age, where good ideas travel on their own. The internet has evolved to a point where grass roots comminication can trump the boob tube. Hype comes from the streets, to the forums, to the blogosphere, and then to the mainstream. The inherent nature of the process acts as a filter - it weeds out the crap. Read the rest of this entry »

I was taking my necessary weekly break from tacos the other day.. visiting the salad bar at Whole Foods.. feeling good about myself..salad, sushi, Feeling like a yuppie prick, which is something that bothers me about WF.. that place is eerie….its like yuppitopia -pious aroma in the air …sure, they got some cool shit but it needs some balance.. it could use a dash of Fiesta Market to even the keel …

anyway.. As soon as I paid for my food, I saw it.. A new taco bar at whole foods.. build-your-own-style tacos nestled up next to the raw food and the coffee bar.. the sign said breakfast tacos in the morning, regular tacos at lunch.. $2.99 each or 2 for $5.00… Read the rest of this entry »

TacoBlob: Front Line reporter

It’s Wednesday. I’m pissed as usual, thinking about George Carlin today, he always points out “instead of T.G.I.F.” that we should say “H.S.I.O.W” – Holy Shit It’s Only Wednesday. It has been my mantra all day, it really feels like a Wednesday. After a miserable day at work, I knew it might be time to write a review for Taco Town, I write best when pissed, so all I needed to do now is get drunk and we’d have a review. After downing some old High Life that has aged (I found in our carport earlier in the week) I made my way towards ZuZu. It’s actually one of the closest taco joints to my house.

My last blog was on Taco Bell, so in keeping with the tradition of chains and fast food, I wanted to try this place out. Turns out it has pretty high regards in my circle of friends, even the TT staff has given this place some props. Since my last blog was on the dreaded Taco Bell, I figured I might be able to get away with getting some food to go once more. Read the rest of this entry »

Down on South First.. in a little strip center, next to the sushi karaoke joint, just south of Stassney.. its called Evita’s Botanitas.. I have no idea what a botanita is and I never met Evita either.. nonetheless, and moreover, this place is not messing around. On my two visits, the food was way above average.. spectacular in a down-home kinda way..the decor inside is gaudy, full of momentos and various nick nacks from over the years.. it reminds me of my cuban grandma’s house. theres a wall full of plaques and awards, letting you know they’ve been to the proving grounds and they brought back gold a few times..
