·26 min·2 clips

Plastilina Mosh returns with a new single after 30 years, and Checo shares his first-ever interview was with them in the 90s.

1. This Friday episode of Tamara con Luz en MVS features music critic Checo Sound — born Checo Pérez — presenting the week's new music releases. 2. The co-host is identified as Tamara alongside a co-presenter named Luz, broadcasting on MVS 102.5; it is also noted as the program's anniversary week. 3. The episode's framing is a weekly music recommendations segment where Checo introduces new singles and albums across genres. 4. The first presentation is Plastilina Mosh's new single 'Cynics, Sinners, and Blasphemous,' marking 30 years of career for the Monterrey-based bilingual alternative hip-hop duo. 5. Checo says he conducted his first ever journalist interview with Plastilina Mosh in the late 1990s, adding personal context to his enthusiasm for the band. 6. He describes the new single as a return to the feel of their early albums, with hip-hop elements and a strong lyrical hook, noting that their second album was so experimental it had almost no radio singles. 7. Plastilina Mosh will perform at the Pepsi Center on April 25, and Checo encourages anyone who can still get tickets to attend. 8. The second release is The Strokes' new single 'Going Shopping,' described as having 1980s-style guitar tones with chorus effects and bass reminiscent of early 1980s post-punk. 9. Their new album Reality Awaits will be released on June 26; Checo says the song thematically deals with escaping urban stress — specifically satirizing Mexico City chaos compared to New York City. 10. The Strokes released 100 cassette copies of the single, which Checo notes fits a broader cassette revival trend, citing Japan as a market where Walkmans are back in fashion. 11. The third release is Teddy Swims' new single 'Mr. Know-It-All,' described as a smooth contemporary R&B track; Checo compares its texture to Gotye's work in the 2010s and says Swims has had four or five years of career with two albums. 12. An audience member texts in during the show to say Teddy Swims sounds like Phil Collins, which Checo calls 'a very good reference,' prompting a brief conversation about Phil Collins' declining health. 13. The fourth artist is Disco Bahía, a band from León, Guanajuato, presenting new single 'Tus Palabras'; Checo describes their sound as elegant lounge-pop with synthesizer touches reminiscent of Flans and some Prince-style keyboard work. 14. Tamara says the song reminds her of Patti Cantú's era with the group Lou alongside Sandoval, which Checo agrees captures something of the same synthesis feel. 15. Checo says Disco Bahía released several strong singles in 2025 and that León's music scene is producing impressive work alongside the city's famous shoe manufacturing industry. 16. The fifth artist is M.I.A. — born Maya Arulpragasam, British-Sri Lankan, daughter of a diplomat — returning with new single 'Everything' and album M.I.7 dropping April 17. 17. Checo explains M.I.A.'s back catalog context: 'Paper Planes' sampled The Clash, appeared in the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, and became globally famous; her lyrics on conflict and politics were so sharp that she faced government investigations. 18. He also recommends Major Lazer, M.I.A.'s collaborative project with Diplo, describing their two albums as a genre called 'Mumbaton' — a tropical, danceable sound distinct from reggaeton, suited to warm-weather listening. 19. The show runs with a relaxed, jokey tone between Tamara and Checo, with listener comments read live via chat, and closes with Checo inviting listeners to his Saturday night show A-Track at 7pm. 20. The episode targets music fans in Mexico and Latin America interested in current alternative, indie, and pop releases across Latin American, Anglo-American, and global artists.
