NEW CALEXICO ALBUM THIS FALL!

Two years after Garden Ruin, Calexico has returned and is offering up Carried To Dust, the new full-length record due September 9, 2008.

For Carried To Dust, Calexico co-founders Joey Burns and John Convertino called on a rotating cast of musicians and friends to help them create what is arguably their most varied and strongest work to date. The band lineup that solidified around Feast of Wire is back again, along with a number of guests, including Sam Beam, Douglas McCombs, and Pieta Brown.

This new record is a shining example of Calexico's commitment to constantly molting and redefining who they are. A continued examination of their sources of inspiration, Carried To Dust is the next step in Calexico's ongoing quest of moving forward while never turning its back on the past.

Along with extending the collaborative bridges with other artists, Carried To Dust also reflects Calexico's amazing live shows, as well as underscoring the band's restraint and beauty. A remarkably well-rounded album, Carried To Dust showcases every aspect of Calexico's exceptional talents.

THIRD TIME'S A CHARM

Kanye has three different versions of his "Flashing Lights" video. I really like the 3rd version the best! It actually has some "Flashing Lights" action throughout the video.

A LEGEND LOST

Bo Diddley has died at the age of 79. The world of music pays tribute in this article written by THE INDEPENDENT.

3 Imagninary Boys

Sunday night at The Shrine auditorium, The Cure played and intimate show the day after their sold out Hollywood Bowl evening. This performance has left me speechless, so I am going to do my best to talk about it. I unfortunately did not have my camera, so no pics, sorry guys. I have seen The Cure a number of times since before Disintegration, and this by far, in my opinion, was the best I have ever seen! When the chandelier lights went down, the stage turned into a majestic view of stars as if we were descending into space. The boys came out, Robert, shy as ever, and they started off with a bang! Then going into their classic 'Pictures of You'! The performed over 39 songs, and played for 3 hours and 15 minutes, with no break. They performed everything from Boys Don't Cry, 100 Years, Strange Day, Killing an Arab, Jumping Someone Else's Train, Fire in Cairo, Just Like Heaven, and the list goes on and on and on. ALL CLASSICS, ALL NIGHT!!!! Now growing up, I used to save up all my dollars and go into the city and buy whatever rare Cure goods I could get my hands on, no matter the price. It came to a point where my family was going to take me to counseling because I had almost 200 pictures of Robert Smith on my walls, and my parents couldn't figure out why my idol wore makeup. I finally would make them mixed tapes, and then they understood (and actually liked them). This show was definitely the icing on my birthday week. It was a truly amazing show, that I will never, EVER forget.

IN CASE YOU MISSED EM...

Coldplay performed live on the MTV Movie Awards yesterday after their long absence from the stage . I really like Coldplay, but they didn't sound as polished as usual. I know they haven't performed in some time, so I'm sure it was just a mixture of nerves and getting use to being back in front of an audience. Lets hope they can shake all of those things on the upcoming Viva La Vida tour.
