[Calexico]

Wow, there is some strange stuff on there. Strange bedfellows I mean. Calexico, Alec Empire, Faust, Fishbone, Helmet, Mark Kozelek, Lee Perry and Sparklehorse to name a few. Weird scenes inside the goldmine!


Good cause though and I hope it sells a bunch for them.

It be almost impossible not to find something to like on there. It is a good cause because the government is dragging their feet on helping folks.

They promised to reduce the involvement of the government in our lives. They've largely done that, but perhaps, not in ways one might expect.

Nothing new there then. Plenty money for Bush and his war but fuck New Orleans and Minneapolis.

The State doesn't want to set precedence by paying out before they know who's fault it is because next time something happens people may expect help. That's why they're pushing for a design flaw in the bridge so they can wash their hands of the whole thing.
