This is a new song called Ternpat (Repeat) and it will be included in the new album. This was my VERY FIRST TIME playing with a band... fucking adrenaline experience... thrilling to say the least. Thanks to Diegordo ElPagano and Pablo Felipe Mtz Perez (played bass here BUT the camera was not wide enough to show him 🤦‍♂️).

It was a HOT 🔥Sunday in Texas and it was the dream of Memo Trillo to turn one of the greatest Misfits songs, Hybrid Moments, into something cool, weird and eclectic. Soooo we took our cameras and some of our best friends to film this super cool video... Special surprise cameos and all! Haha
This video was filmed and edited by the beautiful LauLau Zamorano ♥️
Special thanks to LBASi (Ezequiel León Moreno), Mayela De La Huerta and of course Guillermo F. Trillo. See! Sometimesm, you can have shitloads of fun AND be productive at the same time... haha.

Chacho and I wrote this song in one of our many drinking nights in good ol' San Antone.
I seriously cannot believe that I get to collaborate with such an incredible soul that is Chacho Saldaña.

Note: About two weeks after I performed this, I was working with Vicente Fernandez himself... weird how things align. Ha!

One of the coolest songs in the worldddd...

This is a beautifully written song by the best band in the world, Against Me!!
"The world is not enough, I want your brutal truth."

For fans of VINCENT VAN GOGH.
This was made by Don McLean and it's based on the artist's beautiful, tortured soul.
Personally, I like the NOFX version better, but they're all good...

Como muchos jovenes Mexicanos, mi juventud me la pase corretiando muchachas y escuchando el album RE de Cafe Tacuba como veinte mil veces y picandole al boton de "repeat".

I fucking love this song. No LSD needed.

Originally recorded for the album ANGST but it didn't quite fit with the feeling of the whole album. It was a really weird and confused time for me as I was just divorced and starting a new chapter in the book of my life and it was a really scary to stare at a blank sheet. Thankfully, everything was okay.

## (There's Nothing More Frightening than a) Blank Sheet
If you want to write your own destiny
just let go of the fear, let go of doubt
and let's go out into the world

when we came, we came with nothing
and when we go, we'll go with nothing at all
To some that's frightening, to me that is comforting

Just buy me a coffee and let's talk about inspiration
The travels and the philosophies
and the fears of your worst monstrosities
don't worry we are all afraid

I kind of wander around, I kind of linger and taste and touch
and feel what I don't have
I don't have an agenda, I am cage-less and free

all I need is my backpack and a guitar, a fire and some company
a drink or two of the finest beer we could afford

chatting up a nice girl and go for a long walk
and If I'm lucky I'll hold her hand, I can't believe that is my goal

In the morning I'll end up swollen and hungry maybe that's no way to be
but that's what I want right now, and I guess that's how it will be (for now)

Chords D F#m G A D

This is a song I made in 2013, was supposed to be a part of my album ANGST, but I just couldn't get it to work. HOWEVER, just recently I heard the demo and the song has a brash personality and an independent spirit. So, here it is... in all its glory, untouched, distortioned, unperfect, the way it should be.

LYRICS:
## Hard Days
Without these hard days
I wouldn't know about these fun nights
A long day makes your beer taste better
And the hugs and the kisses so much more

We put our whole souls into each day,
living from check pay to pay
overdrawn checking accounts
and dealing with a busted car

There is worse than this, Where there's war and famine.
places I can't even imagine. So I am great right here!

Let's fight. I'll take these hard days.

I just had a hard day today, feeling like a machine, less of a man
Working 10 straight hours, grinding the cogs
feeling like I'm wasting my life

And the reward is long nights sipping wine
and maybe some eggs and coffee before dawn
and a good conversation
talking how we can make the world a better place.. according to us.

What is better than this, You say "fame and fortune".
Man, that's not me. I am great right here!
Let's fight. I'll take these hard days.

The day is over, let's get together
and call all of our friends pass me a cold beer, let's go out
oh how good it feels going down my throat
and into my blood let drink more and more and mooooore

Oh my god, where am I?
And where are my clothes?
Who are you people?
I gotta go because I just had me a long and grueling, powerful, wonderful, full of promise... a long ass fucking day

I'll take these hard days

It's super cold, the year almost ending and I've got some songs.
Here's one of my favorite Tony Sly songs...

November 14, 2015 was a historic day for me. Me in one of my home towns, Eagle Pass, Texas.
Songs: Risktakers, Stars Maligned & Marmalade.

Just one of those days when Tim Barry's masterpiece makes you feel less lonely in the world.

Performed on November 13, 2013 at Headhunters in Austin, TX
From the album ANGST songs and spoken word by Ricardo Mendoza
