MACHOS! - An Answer to Women's History Month at La Casa Encantada - Show 46 - March 20 2015

The Haunted House @ KUSF - Show # 46 - "Machos" - March 20 2015 by Casaencantada on Mixcloud

Who's really the fair sex? 

Is loving women a waste of time?
Are man smart, but women smarter? 

Will women rule the world?
Can you enjoy a piece of art even if you disagree with its content or with the author's points of view?

These are some of the philosophical questions we have for you today at the Haunted House. We continue celebrating the Women's History Month, but in a twisted, sick and probably criminal way:
This time, after TWO shows devoted to women, which makes us, as Popoff pointed, half as sexist as any other show, we are going to let the MEN offer their version of the eternal war of sexes and its causes. We'll hear them praise and condemn woman and womanhood, and we'll learn why and discuss their points!

This is a very risky show that may be slightly offensive for some and that should be illegal in at least 3 states!

MUJERONAS - International Women's Day at La Casa Encantada - Show 45 - March 13 2015

The Haunted House @ KUSF - Show # 45 - "Mujeronas" - March 13 2015 by Casaencantada on Mixcloud

For the second week straight, Popoff and your Ghost Host continue celebrating Women all around the world, because we don't know what we would do without them.

Today we praise MUJERONAS, women that are all personality, attitude and character, ladies that sometimes outraged the societies of their days by making everything a woman was not supposed to do, from divorcing twice to pimping or smoking or writing incredible songs or joining a circus.

We celebrate these strong women, but don't you think the House is just kept by our witch ladies and ghostesses, NO SIR, we are modern ghosts and we share all chores: ironing our wearing sheets, polishing our own chains and balls (ehem!) or spreading cobwebs all over the place to keep the House neat and decorated. We even cook the bats ourselves! (check the recipe for our famous Ectoplasm Sauce on our blog archives!)

Our ladies come, as usual, from all around the world! This is the list we played, though for the actual order, you will have to listen to the show!

 

Taki Rari – Yma Sumac 

No, no y no – Toña la Negra

My Daddy Rocks Me – Sidney Bechet and Trixie Smit

Hot Stuff – Memphis Minnie

Solitude – Billie Holiday

Feelin’ Good – Nina Simone
