We finally dropped an EP of cumbia music Paco and I have been working on for a while. Paco and his band mate Joe Quinonez started this project a few years back and thought it would be great to keep the momentum going. Originally named after the old flower shop my family owned in the 90s til just about last year. Paco and I had a few cumbia tracks of that we’ve been working on throughout the pandemic and I’m grateful to have had a few friends get in this as well.
Francisco Flores: Guitar, Percussions
Esteban Flores: Organ, Piano, Percussions, Flute (track 4)

Bought tickets to this show 2 whole ass years ago. Covid pushed it all the way back to last night and it was pretty damn worth the wait. Been waiting for a lineup like this practically my whole life, very happy to have finally seen these legends in the flesh

LA11 - time are tough, and the older we get, it seems like they only get tougher. But all the more reason to be grateful for moments like these where I can be with the people that make the tough times a little more bright. And regardless of anything, I still feel like we all accomplished so much this year, and that’s more than enough.
Thank you all, love you, so happy my old tape cam came back into my life last year. Also happy that my homies don’t mind me sticking it in their faces all the time, otherwise I wouldn’t have cute shit like this share with y’all haha.
If you’re not in this video, it’s probably cuz I just couldn’t find you in the hours upon hours of footage I went through 😬. But I still love ya 🥰
Anyways, Happy New Years, stay safe, fuck covid

I found this cheapo gladiator mask at Halloween club that I decided to wear as a MF DOOM mask. Turns out Halloween was the day he actually passed and his fam kept it a secret til now. I don’t know how to really process this, one of my all time favorite artists and heroes. All respects to him and his fam and everyone affected by this including the fans. I’m absolutely crushed. Long Live the Villain, remember all caps when you spell the man name!
Hey friends, in case you haven’t noticed yet, I’ve been doing stuff with my old VHS camcorder, a JVC Super VHS-C. I used to use this thing to make little short films when I was like 10. I put a page together where I’ll be sharing my works so if you’re into that kinda thing, shoot @tapewormspaghetti a follow and see if you dig it. You can also look in my story highlights to see some of the past work I’ve done. Thank you

Peace out to the 2010s. Let’s leave all the bullshit and baggage in this past decade. We’re not getting any younger so let’s fucking get it! Also the last post is a little body transformation kinda thing. I know it’s not a huge difference but out of all of my accomplishments this year, this is my proudest one. Gave up a lot of bad habits and plan to keep it that way. Love y’all, might have to do a part 2 just to fit in everyone
I really do have the best friends in the world. I love everyone in these pics so damn much. And if you’re not here, I still love you and let’s kick it soon
