Mayan Fox for the most part is an acoustic band but with a difference. The music is as exciting as the performers themselves.

Naked in the Basement

I had an epiphany yesterday. As our newborn daughter Akira worked herself in to a state of inconsolability (due to her being hungry and Maria having ducked out to the shops), I took her for a walk outside. She immediately began to settle. This wasn’t a new experience for me. I’ve always noticed that when I take an unsettled baby or child outside that they more often than not calm down. Many other parents and carers have probably noticed that too. So what was the epiphany? I suddenly realised …

The Worst Song Lyrics of All Time

I’ll admit that I’m no Leonard Cohen when it comes to writing prose but I feel I’m at least worthy enough to judge the latest Chris Brown song ‘Transformer’ as having some of the worst lyrics of all time. It’s as if they were written by a prepubescent boy who had just come back from watching Megan Fox running around in her denim hotpants on ‘Revenge of the Fallen’. “Imma transform ya like a transformer…” “turn you from a human in …

My Top 5 Songs that have the Number 1 in the Title

Christmas is over (at least it is for us Southern Hemisphererers). Now we look ahead to 2010.

In premature celebration (or is it audacious anticipation?) of Mayan Fox having a number 1 song in 2010 I thought that I'd list my Top 5 songs with the number 1 in the title. Agree or disagree as you please

1. One Drop (Bob Marley)
2. One (Metallica)
3. One (U2)
4. No One Knows (Queens of the Stone Age)
5. One Crowded Hour (Augie March)

Hottest 100 Dead Musicians

Okay maybe not 100. I was just thinking about Triple J's Hottest 100 of all time and Nirvana/Kurt Cobain's placing which got me to thinking, "Who are the hottest musicians that have passed on 'before their time'?" (which will exclude Frank Sinatra etc.) Odd subject maybe but these are the 10 who I rate (in no particular order).

10. Elliott Smith
9. Sam Cooke
8. Elvis Presley
7.Jeff Buckley
6. Bon Scott
5. Jimi Hendrix
4. Michael Jackson
3. Marvin Gaye
2. John Lennon
1. Bob Marley

Teenage Girl, Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz, Strong Men, & More!

Welcome to the first blog on the first Mayan Fox website! What do we write about? Are you familiar with us individually? Let us introduce ourselves (in the 3rd person). Maria 'Fox' Hamon ( nee: Wilder ) - birthplace: Nicaragua She's the estrogen in a room full of testestorone! As a 6 year old she picked up her first instrument (violin) followed by the piano and then, inspired by her biggest teenage girl crush, Michael Jackson (she was oblivious to the fact that he was so much older …
