All my friends that have seen this movie in Mexico have said it’s one of the year’s funniest and the soundtrack is raising a lot of eyebrows because of the tremendous talent that has been assimilated on the album doing Mexican standards. Camilo Lara (aka Mexican Institute of Sound) and Carlos Cuaron are directly responsible…

Record Store Day is only four days away!
and Matador is coming up to bat (I’m having baseball fever, though, the Rockies are on a three game slide for the moment) huge with what they have in stock for Record Store Day. Twist and Shout will be having a full schedule that day, so make sure and stop by. Pavement-Date with Ikea (live…
Yeah Yeah Yeahs on SNL
The group is riding high on the strength of their radio friendly , Zero, and why not? The album is consistent from top to bottom and one of my favorites of the year. I would look for their Summer concert agenda to come very very soon. Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Zero (Erol Alkan Rework) [mp3] Yeah Yeah…
The Decemberists Live from SXSW
NPR shows at SXSW scare me because of the long lines that scatter up and down 6th St. Lucky for you, IFC was on hand to capture the literary magic that is The Decemberists. The Oregonians are on tour as well in support of their latest album, The Hazards of Love. The Decemberists-O’Valencia [mp3] THE…

These United States ::: Hillbilly Prom @ Hi-Dive ::: 03.27.09
After many missed opportunities, I have finally gotten a chance to see one of DC’s best! The group plays like a rollicking bar band without the abrasive chicken wire for protection. The guys played to a hillbilly crazed crowed and the stage was smaller than the band. It contained them a bit, but the guys…
Last Day @ SXSW
We will be wrapping up things today and amid speculation that there will be a Mr. West at Fader today, we will be planning accordingly. I have found my new favorite Mexican restaurant here, the salsa is to die for, and new Asian restaurant?! Random. We ate at Koriente for dinner yesterday and we were…
SXSW Day 2
We are still alive and kicking, but updatese will resume later this weekend, next week, or sometime soon. We met Little Boots somewhere off of 2nd and Guadalupe right after we saw The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. It has been a very swell time and we are only half way done. The scheduling…
Von Bondies ::: Red Eye Fly ::: 03.18.09
In a situation that brought me to Red Eye Fly, we caught the Von Bondies when we thought we would be seeing the Evangelicals. One of the casualties of being at SXSW where schedules get flip flopped faster than the political views of television pundits. I couldn’t hear anything because of my position dead center…
