In June an interview I did with Alvin Adams, host of Rise and Shine, aired on the topic of TELOS. This recording is from my portable recorder without the station’s promos. You can hear the full show by visiting URBANAFM’s download page.

HAVE FUN - I know I did recording it. Thanks Al and everyone at the station. And people - if you have any TELO stories to share do contact me. The project is alive and KICKIN’.

CONVERSATIONS WITH “ROCKY”

admin — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 01:24:53 +0000

While in Boston I had the great pleasure to meet up with Rocky Abalsamo just a few days after his 94th birthday celebration. I sat and chatted with him outside in a place where he has gone practically every single day for the last 16 years, his wife’s grave at St. James Cemetery in West Roxbury. He knew about me from the mutual friend that brought me (Maureen) and was excited to speak castellano and tell me some stories. He didn’t tell me the one that he is famous for, the one that reporters and writers from all over the world (the United States, China, Poland and more) have featured in magazines and newspapers. He knew I knew that story. Instead he told me some others. It was a but windy and I apologize in advance for the gusts that came across our microphones. Just ignore them and listen to this charming man. And also cut me some slack. Jaaa - I didn’t think I was going to play translator. It is not my forte and he loved switching to castellano ;0)

My great thanks to Rocky for sharing and to Maureen for arranging for such a beautiful meeting. Enjoy ! Besotes.

FELIZ CUMPLE ARGENTINA from MIT (Cambridge, MA)

admin — Mon, 24 May 2010 02:57:42 +0000

I had the great pleasure of attending an asado at MIT today with several Argentinos. I brought my recorder along to ask a few questions. The biggest question of the day was “What do you miss about Argentina?” Anyone that knows Argentina can guess the first answer: FAMILY. Listen in and find out more. It was great FUN.

Muchas Gracias for the invitation amigos. Un Beso ENORME.

Happy Birthday Argentina. We wish we could be there for the bicentennial but for now we fly the flag from afar. FeLiZ CuMpLe

WARNING - THIS RECORDING IS OUTSIDE AND IN THE FIELD SO ADJUST YOUR HEADPHONES ACCORDINGLY.

URBANAFM - RISE AND SHINE

admin — Sun, 09 May 2010 14:36:45 +0000

I apologize for not uploading new content in several months. I defected over the river to Uruguay for the summer and upon my return to Buenos Aires have been incredibly busy with other projects and workshops. In fact, I am headed to the USA for a workshop/seminar tour in New England and will return in mid-June. In the mean time I am posting this URBANAFM radio 89.5 interview I did with Alvin Adams about Complementary Medicine. Urbana’s direct links for download have a glitch therefore I have uploaded my copy to WTFA. I hope you enjoy Patt Putting the Sexy On (Air) with Alvin Adams. Rise and Shine !

My great thanks to host Alvin Adams - it was great fun ! And you all will have to just wait for the next interview about - yup - TELO’s - to be airing in June.

(The radio show is one hour in length in three 20 minute segments with 2 guests, music and promos. It aired April 17th. Catch the show each Saturday at 9am - 89.5 on your dial.)

“INTIMATE SPACES” - TELO ALTERNATIVES

admin — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 04:38:25 +0000

So what do you do, where do you go if you want to have sex but don’t have the money for a TELO? And if you do have the money for a TELO but there aren’t any nearby how do you get there? And who takes care of the transaction, who pays for the room? And do you go home with someone to have sex the first time or do you go to a TELO? From cars to clubs, to buses and bikes it is all just FUN.

Join in on more of the conversation with the English language students from the CORNUDO segment. MUCHAS GRACIAS CLASE !

For those of you unfamiliar with the word TELO you can listen to a full explanation interview here…

CORNUDO! A Cultural Exchange

admin — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 02:55:16 +0000

Recently I was invited as a native USA speaker to attend an English language class at an institute outside of Capital Federal. I agreed to the 2 hour 2 bus ride with one “catch” - I get to record the conversation and I get to pick the topic. My topic was and always is TELOS. The book project continues… Here is a short snippet of our conversation. It is not so much about TELOs. In this segment we talk about CHEATING. It is fun! The sound quality is not the best but please forgive. The laughter makes up for it. Join in. Besotes.

“de la muerte y de los cuernos nadie se salva “- kind of like death and taxes… Argentine relationship style. HAVE FUN !

A PASSION FOR WINE

admin — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:50:20 +0000

Meet Nigel Tollerman, sommelier and owner of 0800-VINO.COM, a premier wine delivery service in Buenos Aires. I met up with him at his offices in Abasto to get a mini wine lesson and taste some of the best Pinot Noir I have ever experienced in Argentina. Nigel really knows his wine and loves to share his passion. Listen in and learn about the company, the services and of course about wine. This is only the first recording. I am definitely going back to continue my education. Next time we will be recording from the cellar which is quieter but potentially dangerous. We may never emerge again. Murder by Malbec - drowning a delicious, delirious death in the cave. Coming soon… SAVE ME.

For more information please visit Nigel’s site - www.0800-vino.com. Get on his mailing list and join in on the next tasting. You will be pleasantly surprised.

BEER LOVERS TOUR

admin — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 04:12:05 +0000

Beer aficionados are passionate about their brew. In a country where 80% of the market is Quilmes where does a beer lover go to toss down a few microbrews? I met up with Chris Canty of Beer In BA in San Telmo to get some clues. I like this Aussie’s style, his sense of humor and his great passion for BEER. It’s a living thing…

“… beer is like music and art. If you like this music you like it, if you like this art you do. Sometimes it is not about what you know - it is about what you taste.” AMEN

Grab a bottle, a chopp, a jarra, a pint, a glass and exercise your baby finger… (the secret tip to knowing when you have had enough is in the interview). CHEERS !

Chris’ Beer Tour information can be found at his web site BEER IN BA. (www.beerinba.com)

EROTICISM IN THE MUSIC OF TANGO

admin — Sun, 31 May 2009 01:43:11 +0000

Join us as we meet with author, linguist and tango singer Jose Maria (Pepe) Kokubu and learn about the origins and development of tango music and dance in Buenos Aires. This incredibly informative and entertaining interview (complete with several glorious serenaded examples) will help you understand and appreciate this rich and deeply erotic piece of Argentine culture. I personally was fascinated and found it difficult to stop recording and end the interview. I hope to be invited back soon.

Philosophy. Eroticism and the History of the Tango. It is not the Minute Waltz - It is a 40 minute “walk” through musical history and the senses with Mozart, Gardel and many more. ENJOY !

Pepe’s book MOZART Y GARDEL - LA MUSICA DE LAS PALABRAS - is sold out. To read more about the history of the Tango you can visit this link AN OUTLOOK OF THE HISTORY OF ARGENTINE TANGO

admin — Wed, 27 May 2009 06:36:11 +0000

This is the first in a new type of program - Pato’s Quack - monologues about Argentina because - well - Patt is not always in the country but she does have plenty of stories and information to convey.

The first PQ begins and ends with a kiss - and the troubles they can bring. Listen in to “You Say Goodbye and I KISS HELLO” and post us what you think - better yet, post us what you have personally experienced. Pucker up and have a good time. This should be great fun. Muacks.
