 An article on Argentina's assembly movement several years on from the perspective of someone there as a tourist of the pickets, published in Totally Dublin this month and available online at http://soundtracksforthem.com/blog/?cat=204 Just recently Buenos Aires became a mass partying destination for Americans, all intent on a retail respite from the gringo trail that runs down the spine of the continent. It lends itself well to most of the disconnected vignettes that pass for travel writing. You give some harried mentions of local poverty, and assurances of stabilisation, then you roll into dishing advice on where to join the local urbane consumer class as it gets mashed to drum and bass. Or if you really know your shit: to the strange combinations of electronica and cumbia that haunt the ears of music bloggers.
