I sure hope you are still watching the gossip shows, because LM gave a radio interview to Jacoba Zabludovsky last night and they are passing parts of it on the gossip shows. He responded SI, TENGO NOVIA!!(Yes, I have a girlfriend/love! And he also commented to how he's not trying to be the richest man in the cemetery, but wants to enjoy the best things in life now. They say the interview will pass at 1 & 3 Mex time (central?) on: http://www.la69.com.mx/ (click upper right box 'aquí' to go live) Afterward, LM & Myrka were seen dancing in a disco together, where he twirled and dipped her to the disco song that goes "I love you baby, and if it's quite all right, I need you baby, to warm the long cold nights...."(You're just too good to be true" -they've got video. Micky is wearing his hat and looks like he is just another happy guy out on the town with his gal. It was great to see!

TRANSLATION CONGLOMERATION OF ARTICLES: LM presented his album in Spain on Thursday, which is already at golden record status in Latin America and Spain. He explains, "the idea is to recover the great treasures of music". He will continue with his career doing _all_ the music he loves (*yipee!) LM says, "I especially like "Motivos" because my mother loved it so much, she always requested it from the mariachis". (*I love this one too, his voice is most showcased in it, for me).

Conscious of being an example for many artists, LM, whose sells exceed 50 million albums sold worldwide, avoids giving advise and comments, "I can't advise others, I'm still learning myself". (*contrast this to many lesser artists who have went on TV giving advice on what LM should do to help his career, snort!) He assures that it is a great honor to be perceived as an example, but if he gave advice it would be that behind success is great work and great discipline. When he said he would continue with boleros, rancheras and pop, he was asked if he wasn't afraid of repeating himself. He replied, "I'm not afraid of repeating myself, nor to receive criticism for staying with the 3 genres I've worked in for years, one needs to be optimistic and believe things will continue for the best.(*wonder why they never ask this question to singers who only sing ONE style?)

He says that for him singing is a therapy, singing is a form of releasing much energy on stage and is very addictive. It's more than just the applause, it's being able to express many things to the public. He says that to arrive where he is now, wasn't easy. There have been good times, but also ones not that good, nor sweet. He says, "If someone asked me for advice? I'd say it's most important to have a great discipline and love for this work." He mentions a desire to sing a song in Portuguese for Brazil.
Septemeber 2005 is mentioned as a tentative start of the new tour.

*My translation is a combination of the different articles. It is a bit frustrating to see QUOTES of what he said in different papers, quoted differently. Sometimes they are cut up and you lose so much of what he was expressing, other times, they are just different. Also, you find his interview has been cut up and put in a different order by different reporters. But, here is the best I could do in trying to bring it all together:

LM explains that he is happy at times, but needs to give more care to his spiritual side. "My spiritual side has been the most neglected, I've concentrated on my carreer and the emotional things, but in the future I will try to nourish my spirit more." Jacobo Zabludovsky presented LM at the press conference with these words, "This CD is a fortunate contribution to Mexican music. LM is giving the world a gift on a silver tray, and this gift is wrapped in the luxury of his voice." Lm said, "This album is a tribute to México, my intention is to rescue songs from oblivion that deserve to be heard by the youth, and not forgotten. I was born and grew up listening to mariachi music, boleros, and rancheras, they are very beautiful and very much mine, so, for me, to interpret them is to hear the echos from different stages in my life. This is a classic album for yesterday, today and the future." A different paper's quote says he said, "I want to talk a little about how I'm making this album, the same as the boleros, I want to recover songs for the youth, songs that shouldn't stay in oblivion, they are songs with great words and melodies and so there is a great responsibility to bring them to new generations".

It seems a reporter made a comment asking if his limited spirit could translate coldness to his music (*what a jerk, huh?) LM replied, "My music could be everything, except cold, it is many things in the hearts of the people. Perhaps you have the cold ears, because my music is *hot*!" Again, he had to remind the press, "let's leave personal things as they are, personal." He explained, "I record new songs also, but the thing is that I'm very traditional and I really like the older songs." When asked how he was doing, he said, "the years have treated me well, I feel better now than 10 years ago (this brought screams of approval from the audience and a look of surprise from him as he said, "see?!"), experiece has given me maturity and I live with a great intensity, I'm happy like this, at times, really happy.

After showing his optomistic side, he refused to talk about the problems of México and said, "I'd like to be a person who could do something beautiful for this country. One could talk for days about negative things, but it's better if we have a positive attitude and focus on the beautiful things that help us to grow.... that is more beneficial to our families, our countries and the world." Some of the press were disgruntled because he would not talk about his favorite books and authors, well, for goodness, sake, did they really think he was there to promote someone's book at his press conference? He also spoke very respectfully of María Félix saying she taught the world the best things of México. Someone asked what a woman one had to be to become his woman, he answered, 'to be a woman, that's all'.

*QUICKIE ENGLISH TRANSLATION*: The new CD started to be sold in DF this weekend, even though it has not been released yet, due to the high demand, according to the stores, even though the official release date for Latin Amreica is today, and tomorrow (Tuesday) for the USA and Spain. You could get it at places like Sanborns or Mixup as early as Saturday. It cost between 156-205 pesos (I have no idea what the exchange rate is).
Despite what's been said over the last few weeks, it's confirmed that the CD, produced by Luismi, includes 12 cuts and 'Sabes una cosa" as an additional song, but it does NOT have "En mi viejo San Juan", as was speculated by some.
Under the musical direction of Armando Manzanero, co-production of musician Francisco Loyo and accompaniment of Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, one can hear: "El viajero", "Entrega total", "Échame a mí la culpa", "México en la piel", "Cruz de olvido", "De qué manera te olvido", "Luz de luna", "Motivos", "Cielo rojo", "Paloma querida", "Que seas feliz" y "Un mundo raro", which had 4 from José Jiménez y Juan Záizar.
He will present his CD in the National Art Museum in the historic center of Mex DF Tuesday. The last time he present in Mex DF was 1995 with Segundo Romances.
