The debut film of Robert Rodriguez. El Mariachi (literally, "The Guitar Player") is a movie about two drug dealers down in Mexico and a musician.

One drug dealer (Azul) is running his operations out of prison. His former partner, Moco, owes him a lot of money, and opts to kill him off. Azul leaves the prison after killing Moco's men and paying off the guards. He takes up a guitarcase full of weapons and leaves to the town Moco has set up shop in to get his money, even if that means killing him.

Meanwhile, a nameless musician we know only as Mariachi, comes to the town looking for work. But since he, like Azul, always wears black and carries a guitarcase, a case of mistaken identity ensues with lots and lots of violence along the way.

The reason I bring it up is because there is a scene where Mariachi goes looking for work at a bar, but the bartender has already hired a guy with a keyboard that produces the sound of a whole band, though in truth it really sucks.

As he's leaving, Mariachi's narrative describes, "Whatever happened to the days when the guitarists were gods? Like in the days of my ancestors. Technology is slowly robbing us of our culture, turning us into machines."

EDIT: God d[size=2]a[/size]mn I'm slow tonight.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Amherst as in UMass-Amherst?[/QUOTE]

It encompasses both the private and public universities at Amherst. Unless the UMass Amherst is intended to stand in for Scooby.

Apparently it's a Five-College system currently but the traditional four college system is still in place and which elicits the comparison.

Fix'd.

Yeah, what I said was sort of like that, except in a much less artistic way about a much less artistic enterprise. :p

Aside from that, though, it sounds like a good film. Perhaps I'll check it out.

If nothing else, it will give you some songs to learn. Ganas de Vivir is a beautiful ballad which I'm strill trying to track down a tab for. Until then, I'm just mimicking the movements on the screen.

... Which are really mimics of the actual guiarist who recorded the song. Carlos Gallardo couldn't actually sing or play guitar, so they recorded a real musician they had hired performing it and used a pitch shifter to change his voice to a tenor.

I think there's a small [liberal arts?] college that's simply called Amherst...I'm sure that UMass-Amherst outdates Scooby Doo.

Yeah, so it's just Amherst.

The title sounds familiar. Is it an authentic song? Because there's probably an official transcription somewhere, even though we all hate official transcriptions right about now. :p

Anyways, I'm off for a bit to watch a movie. I'll be on later.

And I'm finally listening to enough music weekly to get a sense of my habits via last.fm, now that I'm home, so I'll be excited to post my stats on Sunday. :)

It was recorded specifically for El Mariachi.

Is it me, or does trolling piss anybody else off?

[QUOTE=Cain]Fun fact: the Four College system in Massachusets is based off the foursome of humans in Scooby-Doo, in terms of the general academic environment and the students who go there. Amherst is Fred, Smith is Velma, Mount Holyoke is Daphne, and [B]Hampshire is Shaggy.[/B][/QUOTE]

So, you eat pot all day at Hampshire?

Everyone knows those Scooby Snacks were actually Dooby Snacks

Basically. Why else was there all the smoke, giggling, bad music, and ludicrous dancing + "monsters," and conspiracies?

Hey guys. I need a little help from you since you're like, good people.

What's the name of that song that's played usually when a wedding is about to start? Much appreciated if you could help me thanks. :)

Uh... Bridal March? I'm not sure.

Here Comes The Bride? I don't know.

No, I found it.

Wedding march, it's Canon in D major or something around that line.

Thanks for the feedback, though. :)

Why did they call themselves 'brides'

And I've never heard anything by Finntroll before.

Wasn't Ginger from The Wildhearts involved with that project?

And by the way, I checked out Manic Street Preachers yesterday; my god, what amazing stuff. It was only stuff from The Holy Bible, but wow.

Pretty Rainy this time of the year. I don't know.

I've just always liked how "Italia" sounds, so I put it in my location. Despite I'm not there.

the manic street preachers are amazing. spat out plath'll lecture you on them for hours, im sure. you should check out some of their other stuff too, though the holy bible is probably their best. i like gold against the soul a lot and generation terrorists isnt bad.

It's hard to believe Christmas is under a week away. It really snuck up this year.

It always seems to sneak up now. When I was a kid december used to seem like an eternity.

Yeah it used to seem like so long until Christmas as a kid. I think it's those advent calendars. They really make every day drag on.

Indeed, my friend, Indeed.

The worse thing is that I just left school this very evening, so f[size=2]u[/size]cking year has been very swift. The last half, to be more specific.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]It always seems to sneak up now. When I was a kid december used to seem like an eternity.[/QUOTE]

Yea I used to look forward to it so much more as a kid. One of my teachers suggested it'll get that way again once you have kids, so I'm not worried.

What's trolling?

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]What's trolling?[/QUOTE]
