It's been 4 years since the last new Calexico album, so hot damn! I really do love this band.

 

And I'm loving this album. *swoon*

 

 

You can hear all songs from this album in their entirety at Amazon's Calexico page. I think this is the link. It's $9.99 right now, but fangirl that I am, mine is on preorder from the band, should get it next week.

I need to delve into these guys a bit more, but I am not usually a "Greatest Hits" kind of guy. Is there one album that you would recommend as a good starting point?

 

Not the "classic" line-up of earlier years but this is a wonderful record:

Ask 5 different people about the Go-Betweens, get 7 different answers. I think that's a good sign!

 

 

For me today:

Indeed. I love the older Go-Betweens records but the last few years I've listened to the newer stuff--Bright Yellow Bright Orange, Oceans Apart, and The Friends of Rachel Worth--way more than the older ones.

Saw Mould last night and the band (bassist Jason Narducy and drummer Jon Wurster) ripped through this to open the show. They took a breath, addressed, the crowd, and then launched into a mix of songs from Silver Age and some choice Husker Du numbers (and a Cheap Trick cover). It was pretty great.

David Byrne & St. Vincent - Love This Giant

Not as brilliant and amazing as I'd hoped. Maybe it's just me, but it sounds like it picked up on some 70s vibe that molested Leonard Cohen.
