¡Grita!

I work at a discoteca-turned-video store, but the store is still called Discoteca. A few days ago I was rummaging through the rack of what's left of our Mexican cds looking for some sweet Mariachi music to dance my way through this, so far, depressing summer. Being unfamiliar with the bands, I wasn't quiet sure what I was looking for. So I just flipped through the rack looking for the album with the best cover. For the most part every album had the same cover design: a portrait of the band posing in their colorful, matching charro outfits, some of the band members carrying their instruments. Kind of like this:

(Band: Mariachi Internacional)

Anyways, I found a cover I liked. The band was dressed sharp. They had mustaches, sombreros, and these awesome checkered jackets--each square had a picture of a Looney Tunes cartoon character, i.e. Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner, Taz, Tweety, Elmer Fudd, Wile E. Coyote, and (my favorite) Marvin the Martian. I like it. It's good music.
