This Puerto Rican alternative rock group is big in the Latin music scene right now, for good reason. Unique alternative sounds meet Latin vocals in a mix between rap and spoken word with rebellious anarchical lyrical themes. The songs are of varying styles, sprinkled with strings and horns and electrical beats, and classic Latin guitar best exemplified in "Baile de Los Pobres". The album has a quirky intro and outro that shows off their alternative style. This is good music. Check it out.
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
This book ran me through the gamut of reaction based emotions. A thriller and mystery, with relationship themes that subscribe to both genders, it's not a girly book but I think the title would defer men. The twisted plot follows husband and wife Nick and Amy through Amy's sudden disappearance and Nick's attempts to investigate and avoid a curious amount of damning evidence pinned to him by the police and media. I think I both loved and hated Nick and Amy at various points, a clear good-guy not even possible. It was satisfying and hooking. Read this instead of 50 Shades of Grey.
