Mercy's Somewhere in the Middle Dept.
Still writing when I can about music. My two abbreviated takes on Pancho Quinto and the Rough Guide to Brazilian Electronica.
Mostly, today's post is an abbreviated excuse that allows me to pay attention to the new online magazine edited by Luis Rodriguez, which I was hipped to via email.
"Luis Rodriguez is the best-selling Latino author in the U.S. He is a contributing editor at Rock & Rap Confidential. He runs Tia Chucha's Cafe Cultural in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles.
"Now Luis is the editor of a new on-line magazine, Xispas: Chicano, Art, Culture, and Politics. This doesn't mean Chicano to the exclusion of everyone else. On the contrary, it means Chicano in the context of embracing everyone else. Check it out at www.xispas.com."

While at Xispas, be sure to take some time with this read: "The Music Never Stops: A History of Xicano Music" by Chuy Varela.
