How was Calexico, Jon?
See them. At your earliest convenience. I've seen them many times -- they never disappoint and are often transcendent.
I'll be in my bunk.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I second that recommendation. Calexico never fails to be fascinating.

I know EFO! I used to work for a small music management company that handled their merch.

Rock! I'm glad they're at least somewhat known. Now I just have to make fans out of you.

My reactions to various commercial co-options...
My favourite of these was an Australian airline (now defunct) that used The Who's "My Generation" as a theme tune. Dudes, you're an airline. You're using a song that includes the lyrics "I hope I die before I get old." Think about it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's a full service airline.

Is it any weirder really than a cruise line using "Lust for Life"?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
