Yeah, one of the best things with Calexico is that their collaborations with other artists/bands often turn out really well. I wouldn't mind if they did some more stuff with Jim James for instance.
If you'd like to check them out some more, I'd recommend the album Feast & Wire.
I watched that old 2001 on Springsteen show last night...aside from the occasional rambling speech, it's fantastic. Fun fact: Max never, ever stops staring at Bruce during shows. Once you notice, it can't be unseen.
I'm finally listening to Arcade Fire's first album. The music is fantastic but I think Butler is overextending himself on the vocals.
And in honor of the champagne supernova reference from the GDT:

Ah, the Boss, I can never get into him how some people do. I liked Nebraska and some of his other stuff. I guess I've heard enough by the book rock n roll, and spent enough time actually living a middle class american life, that his stuff doesn't seem as special as it was at the time.
I would agree about Funeral. I think it's still brilliant though. I had a similar opinion of Full Collapse by Thursday (came out around the same time as Funeral actually). Amazing album that was almost ruined by the singer. He learned to reign himself in a big and improved technically on their third alum, which was amazing.

I don't think too many people here like R&B from what I gather, but this song is pretty tight. These lyrics are so awful they nearly ruin the song for me. Sounds great in the background though.
