We haven’t posted any Mexican Surf music in awhile, and that’s completely our bad–here’s Mascara del Mar and his Dragon Surfers performing “La Espanola Coma”:

Here’s a clip from the first of many films starring the “Man of 1000 Masks” Mil Mascaras. Lucha Libre stars have been featured in Mexican action films for decades, dating back to El Santo and the Blue Demon. In this 1960 film, entitled simply “Mil Mascaras” our hero rolls up on a gang [...]

One of our favorite Mexican Lucha Libre/surf bands–Los Santisimos Snorkels–have just updated their MySpace profile with this cool new logo:

Jordan Breen @ Sherdog has an excellent crackback on the surprising number of people who had issue with Brock Lesnar’s “roping the imaginary bullrope” move after his wall to wall teabagging of Heath Herring at UFC 87.
