Iâm liking the new stuffâŠbut I loved âOnes and Sixesâ too. No matter their approachâŠexperimental or bland their music is very calming for me. Headphone stuff though, because some of it annoys Mrs. LITSL.
Aye, I was thinking more of Câmon and The Invisible Way, where they seemed to be treading trad indie water.

One of my favourites too, from the same show (Austin City Limits 2006) âDetroit Lift Up Your Weary HeadââŠfrom 11 mins 53 secsâŠon.
One for Ted:

Been a fan of these guys since a Brazilian friend introduce me to their music. Itâs rare they play together but theyâre coming to London in November and now I just need to secure 4 tickets.
I love this song.

No secret here of my love for the music of Calexico. Started back in the early '90s when I stumbled across âGiant Sandâ, Joey Burns and John Convertino were the rhythm section. They lived and recorded in Tucson, Az which I suppose endeared them to me as I love the desert statesâŠmaybe I was a Native American in a previous existence.
Sad when they left Giant Sand and their first album âSpokeâ was promising but they really didnât find their true voice until a year later.
âThe Black LIghtâ has proved to be their masterpieceâŠwhy it happened to fall to earth fully formed, who knows. They had invented a new genreâŠâDesert Noirâ and I played that album to death.
Itâs now 20 years since it was recorded and this evening I listened to it again in its entirityâŠI was right when I first heard itâŠa masterpiece.
Whole albumâŠ
