oakland was sold out!

oakland was sold out yesterday for the A's game and for bomba estereo, a band from colombia. what do they both have in common? putting a bike on it. of course.

put a bird on it! scraper bike that is!



put a bike on it en oaxaca...



bomba puts on a great show, saw them in ACL awhile back. last night tho, no bikes. we rented a zipcar since we knew these people like to party and put on a great show. i might be paying for it today, but life's short, right?



then just for fun, bomba estereo also brought on stage oakland's own, panama-bred, los rakas. i did a quick search for them on bikes. hmmph. gotta get them to work on that... ;) on a scraper bike perhaps?

bike never die

i was listening to alt latino from npr earlier this morning. i woke up to too much sunshine at around 6:45am and decided to listen to some music.

i discovered, lê almeida, a band from brazil doing some lo-fi sounds that sound reminiscent of the indie labels kill rock stars and 1990s era matador records.

music and bikes. what a great way to start off the morning. enjoy.
