A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Salome - Old 97's (1997) Remastered Audio & 1080p HD Video



Published on Apr 30, 2014
"Salome" was released on Old 97's third studio album, Too Far To Care, in the summer of 1997.

I'm a huge fan of Old 97's and this album in particular, this is my second video for a track from it, the first being "Broadway" (which I uploaded in October of 2012 and mentioned that I hoped "Salome" would be my next as it's maybe my favorite track from an album filled with favorites (love the lyrics and the unusual arrangement....wow, didn't think it would be almost 2 years!)

Came across this old footage clip a while back and immediately thought that it would fit perfectly with "Salome"...didn't spend much time on it...just wanted to let that headless lady find the groove a bit! :-) It also includes clips from the 1923 silent film...a strange thing in it's own right (I wanted to use more of it....but then there wouldn't have been enough headless dancing! LOL!)

Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for checking it out!

As usual HUGE THANKS to everyone who's art made this new art possible...THANK YOU!!!

[Lyrics]
Salome, uncross your heart.
I know what goes on inside, it's over before it starts.
Well I'll stay all night, I'll wait right here.
The full moon might work magic girl, but I won't disappear.

CHORUS:
And I'm tired of making friends, and I'm tired of making time,
And I'm sick to death of love, and I'm sick to death of trying.
And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you.
And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you.

Salome, untie my hands.
Well I'll find another lady, and you'll wreck another man.
It's over now, yeah and so are we.
My blood's turned to dirt girl, you broke every part of me.

And I'm tired of making friends, and I'm tired of making time,
And I'm sick to death of love, and I'm sick to death of trying.
And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you.
And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you.

(repeat chorus)

Paul McCartney - Everybody Out There (2013) HD 1080p Video



Published on May 7, 2014
"Everybody Out There" was released in the fall of 2013 on Sir Paul's 23rd studio album, New. I'm not going to say much on this video, except that I own every single album Paul has ever released and I think this one ranks pretty high up there...and I think it'll definitely be one that stands the test of time. I've been listening to it alot since it came out and I'm still amazed that it's so unique and really well-produced. I guess this is easily the most recent video I ever made....it's probably my favorite track on the album (and there are LOTS of great tracks on this record!) and I just had to play with it some. This is my third edit, the second edit was slower and I would have gone with it except there was a glitch in the rendering so I had to pull it down and correct...ended up repeating some sequences to make it faster, really this edit is a tad too fast and repetitive and I wish I'd maybe kept the second one, but it is what it is.......I hope you enjoy it! I LOVE this song!

As usual HUGE THANKS to everyone who's art made this new art possible...THANK YOU!!!!

[Lyrics]
Hey, everybody out there
You know what it's like
If you haven't got a life
When you haven't got a life

Hey, do you want to make a difference?
Well, stand in the line
If you haven't got the time
I can give you some of mine

There, but for the Grace of God go you and I
We're the brightest objects in the sky
There, but for the Grace of God go you and I
Do some good before you say goodbye

Hey, I was trying to remember
How bad it was then
When you didn't have a friend
When you didn't have a friend

Hey, everybody out there (oh oh oh oh)
Everybody out there
Hey, everybody out there (oh oh oh oh)
Everybody out there

There, but for the Grace of God go you and I
We're the brightest objects in the sky
Remember, there but for the Grace of God go you and I
Do some good before you say goodbye

Hey, everybody out there...

That Is All - George Harrison (1973) Remastered Audio 1080p Video

Published on May 16, 2014
"That Is All" was released on George Harrison's fourth studio album, Living In The Material World, in the spring of 1973. The expectations for this album were through the roof after the success of the monumental All Things Must Pass album. I think it's a perfect successor, though the general consensus at the time was that it didn't continue the greatness begun with the earlier album.

It's inevitable comparison with the earlier album certainly affected it's acclaim. I remember reading about the album being too preachy.....I never felt I was being preached at.......enlightened, yes. I still think it's a very strong George Harrison effort.

I created the album cover effect for this video a long time ago, but couldn't decide which song to video next and played with this song and "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)". I liked the way it looked in this more obscure track so this one was finished first, but I saved some interesting effects for the video for the other song.

As usual HUGE THANKS to everyone who's art contributed to this new art....THANK YOU!!!!!

[Lyrics]
That is all I want to say
Our love could save the day
That is all I'm waiting for
To try to love you more -

- and that is all I want to do
To get right next to you
That is all I'm living for,
Your love and nothing more
And that is all

Times I find it hard to say
With useless words getting in my way
Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been
said before.

That is all I want from you
A smile when I feel blue

That is all I'm waiting for
Your love and nothing more

And that is all

Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been
said before.
But that is all I want to do
To give my love to you
That is all I'm living for,
Please let me love you more - and
that is all

Food, Festivals, Free Music — Why I Love This Portable Income Posted on May 16, 2014 by Tara Lowry

Food, Festivals, Free Music — Why I Love This Portable Income



The smell of fresh tamales mingled with whiffs of 
sweet atole and my stomach grumbled. Throngs of
 people of all ages were crammed into the dark
 plaza with lighted brujas (lamps) as the only source
 of light. Someone came onto the stage: a roadie
 setting up a mike. An excited murmur moved the 
crowd.
It was the Martes de Brujas gathering in Santa Cruz
 Xoxocotlan (Xoxo to locals, pronounced ‘ho ho’), a
 municipality of Oaxaca, Mexico. Every Tuesday
 night for a month, starting in late February, the
 small central square is set up with stalls selling
traditional tamales: a corn-dough mass filled 
with a variety of sauces and then roasted in 
banana leaves or corn husks. You can buy all
 kinds: mole (a slightly sweet sauce served with chicken), beef, bean, pork, and even sweet ones 
like pineapple and chocolate. They sell for an average of 50 cents and it doesn’t take many to fill 
you.
Atole, a hot, sweet drink also made from corn is served along with the tamales. Both tamales and 
atole are pre-Hispanic foods that were often used as offerings to the Aztec gods.
The word bruja translates from Spanish as ‘witch’ but it’s also the name of an old fashioned 
wick-style lamp, made from tin. In the colonial days when the first cathedrals in this area were
 being built, the workers often toiled long into the night, and the lamps, lit by the women were 
the signal of a shift change. The men were given tamales and atole as their meal. They all ate
 together as if they were one big family.
Now the lit brujas draw in neighbors and visitors looking for a delicious and cheap meal…and
 to pay tribute to the hard working men and women who helped construct the town. The recipes
 have been passed down for generations and the mood is friendly and social. The entertainment
 is nothing to sneeze at either!
I stood among the crowd, peering for a look at the stage to see when the popular singer, Lila Downs,
 would emerge. Well known and loved within Mexico, and in particular her home area of Oaxaca,
 Lila might be best known internationally for her role in the movie Frida (although she holds many
 projects to her credit and three Grammys.) Her songs, often remakes, are tailored to take on a 
distinctively Oaxacan sound and encourage the preservation of the indigenous heritage of Mexico.
So there I was, full of tamales and atole and about to watch a free concert of a world class artist. The
 large crowd was excited and the atmosphere electric.
Because I am an English-as-a-foreign-language teacher, events like this one are easily accessible. 
In fact, this particular festival and concert took place 10 minutes away from my house.
Teaching English is a great way to break free from being location dependent and to experience 
local customs, food, and festivals. And teachers are in demand in most parts of the world.
Apart from the opportunities available with language schools, universities, and private classes, 
giving lessons online is another option that makes for even more flexibility.
Teaching English to students from all around the world by Internet, while based in Oaxaca,
 allows me to receive good pay in a city with a low cost of living. I don’t have to work much
 to cover my expenses. A few hours of conversation classes in the morning and I have the rest
 of the day (and weekends) to explore Oaxaca and the surrounding villages—and to attend local 
events like this one.
As Lila Downs burst onto stage and the crowd went wild, I smiled, feeling grateful once again for 
my career choice.
