Channel: Latin American AffairsColombia’s FARC guerrillas announced over the weekend that they will no longer kidnap civilians for ransom, taking what some analysts described as a small but important step towards peace talks with the Colombian government.
The rebels announced that they would conduct no more kidnappings on Sunday, in a statement that talked about the group’s desire for peace, and criticized the government for increasing its military budget.

Silencio is golden: Just in time for Oscar, a brief history of Latinos in silent film

Channel: EntertainmentWith its 10 Oscar nominations, The Artist allows us to contemplate the rich history of silent film with a wistful nostalgia. But almost unwittingly, the film reminds us of the role Latinos played in that era, and the way the motion picture industry both highlighted and obscured that role.
That’s right kiddies! While everyone is in an uproar over this French film, we Latinos paved the way. Always know your history!

Dirty Ghosts
Dirty Ghosts - “Shout It In”
The Dirty Souls, a four piece rock band from Atlanta, Georgia, consists of Alex Slinin, Jason Holt, and Adam and Matt Johnson. Forged from the friendship and love of music shared by Matt and Jason, the family ties of Matt and Adam, and the new addition of Alex, The Dirty Souls have developed a truly unique sound. With influences such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and various soul artists, The Dirty Souls emerge as a welcome breath of fresh air to the music scene. With a rhythm section reminiscent of 1960s R&B, combined with vocals and lyrics that are both truly honest and soulful, The Dirty Souls create a sound that has both mass appeal and musical integrity.
They were a part of the SXSW lineup for 2011… let’s see if they make a second appearance this year. *fingers crossed*

F*CK ART Exhibition @ The Museum of Sex
F*CK ART Exhibition
February 8th – June 10, 2012
Show Description:
In response to the growing anti-institution sentiment pervasive in our culture, the Museum of Sex has engaged a group of 20 select street artists to occupy the third floor gallery at the Museum of Sex. Showcasing work that pushes the boundaries of our relationship to sexuality in public space, F*CK ART invites a dialogue around the power of visual provocation in the urban environment.
This installation is a combination of existing pieces and site-specific works created for the run of the show.
F*CK ART is curated by Emilie Baltz and Mark Snyder.
Chief Advisors Meghan Coleman and Alex Tanaka.
Objective:
We seek to provoke not simply the notions of museum-going experience by presenting provocative work, but also push the boundaries of what artists can create. This is not an exhibition for the timid, and we have engaged artists to use this space as a forum to create and present critical, provocative commentary around sexuality and its relationship to both human and cultural identity.

Fitz and the Tantrums-Don’t Gotta Work It Out
Sooooo digging this groove right now! Aesthetically they look like a cross between The Human League & Arrested Development (no David Cross jokes intended here folks) over a Dusty Springfield / The Spinners backbeat! Would’ve made Amy proud…always give credit where credit is due.
PS: “Shoot that poison arrow through my heart…” ahaha, that’s another band and a really bad joke. But do yourself a favor and hit the hyperlinks - trust me you’re gonna love it.
