La Pelota de la Muerte!!!: Boredom

Late again on this kick of La Pelota de la Muerte, maybe the most boring of them all. As exciting as music can be, there are also some songs that make you wonder why you are wasting your time listening to them. So, that’s the most interesting thing to say here. The rest will come on a future kick when something interesting happens. As in football, sometimes the ball and the players are not outstanding, and not even bad enough for the audience to yell at them. Not a very promising intro, I know, but true.

La Pelota De La MUERTE!!! All Metal’ed Out

On reflection, perhaps La Pelota De La Muerte was an ill-conceived idea. It’s just given Mache an excuse to make me listen to various flavours of metal. This week’s offering is special, though: its truly SOBIG…

La Pelota de la MUERTE!!! Infectious Music

Last week Mike threw at me a seriously dangerous Pelota. After that I’m not at peace anymore and I will not be for a while, maybe never again actually. The pass was Aaron Kwok’s “I am Aaron Kwok”. My response declares the first score in this evil game and the honest concern about the destiny of human kind. If you want to keep your hope for a better world and the kindness of human beings, I beg you, please, do not check the video Mike published on the last Pelota de la MUERTE!!! And please please, do not continue reading this article.

La Pelota de la MUERTE!!!: Misery Loves Company

‘No matter how hard I try I can’t pretend not to be bored stupid by this song.’

La Pelota de la MUERTE!!!: Pelota III – Ed’s Revenge

Last week, I subjected Mache to some Welsh rap, and in return she made me listen to Judas Priest. Here are my thoughts…

La Pelota de la MUERTE!!!: Kicking back a Spicy Deal

Last week on La Pelota de la MUERTE!!!, Ed kicked me Goldie Looking Chain’s “Self Suicide”. A clever but soft first pass for our new weekly column, all based on my difficulty understanding his sweet, but bloody British accent. Now, this is my response to him and his Pelota de la Muerte, a Pelota from a football and heavy metal loving Chilean. Actually, I may do the classic ‘Chilenita’ one of these Fridays. Ed does not like football (sinner!) and maybe doesn’t know what a Chilenita is, and he just might not know what to do with the ball I’m kicking back at him, either.

Introducing: La Pelota De La MUERTE!!!

This is a new weekly feature, some light Friday fun, in which members of Layabozi force each other to listen to and review tracks we think they won’t like, in a sort of comic and semi-vindictive musical pass-the-ball. Partly a joke, it is also an opportunity to share music with fellow Layabozians that they simply might not bother listening to normally, due to preconceived ideas, laziness, or what-have-you…
