Che Guevara & Chipi Chipi

Have you seen the movie 'The Motorcycle Diaries' ? If you've ever wondered who Che Guevara was then I'd recommend it. It shows Che and friend Ernesto on a journey through South America during 1951-2. My favourite part of the film is when they at a party where the song 'Chipi Chipi' is being performed. It's one of those songs that has got lodged in my head, forcing me to seek it out and purchase a copy of the soundtrack. Here is the clip from the film itself.

I also found this wonderful version by a band called Los Gofiones who seem quite unique.

Wolverine Toy Pipe Organ

Wow ! Look at this cool crank driven music box. They pop-up on Ebay from time to time.

Replica Stylophone

Can you spot anything unusual about this stylophone ?
Nope, nor can I.
However, it is in fact a fully working replica made in 2004. The case is made of MDF and the white keyboard overlay and the Stylophone logo are computer scans of the original.
Bidding is still open with a few days to go, so go ahead and grab a unique toy for your collection.

By the way, the maker of this little treasure is known to pass by Squeezytunes from time to time, so if you have any questions perhaps here would be a good place to ask them.

Illegales - Mi Novia Me Va A Matar

I bought an Illegales CD a couple of years ago in Washington DC - it's got some great upbeat tracks on it in between the boy-band power ballads. This song, for example.
