Guero + Remix = Guerolito
Beck announced a remix version of 2005's Guero will be released on December 13th. The remix version is titled Guerolito. Anyone who has taken Spanish classes will know that the adding of -ito to Guero means smaller Guero. It works with everying. Zapatos is shoes, zapatitos is small shoes. Brilliant right? But what is a Guero anyway? A friend tells me that its Spanish slang for white people, or as the Urban Dictionary says "Spanish equivalent of "whitey".
Does Beck fancy the remix as something less endowed than its original, a smaller, stunted whitey? Is that a bad omen? Taken derivatively, its just a small Guero. Beck's dig at the remixing artists perhaps? Fucker.
Beck's Guerolito will join Bloc Party's Silent Alarm Remixed as an album that spawned its own (officially sanctioned) full length remix in 2005; the same year as their respective original releases.
