How about the thousands of musicians that list the Beatles as influences? How about the hundreds of bands that have taken cues from some of the sounds the Beatles pioneered? Sure, some of their stuff was little more then a self indulgent LSD trip, but the vast majority of the Beatles catalog are both critical and commercial successes.

Just because you don't like them, does not automatically mean that they were "pop icons that the masses were told to worship and worship they obediently did."

The masses? You can't talk to me that way! I'll get big brother to wop you!

CALEXICO are basically unknown in Germany and possibly Europe.
Of course there are certain enthusiast who know them and most
other such bands, but even I had not heard of them - before RP
introduced me!

And I am thankful for the hint! They are a REAL GOOD band!
Authentic especially - one of the most important factors for me to
like a band!

I like the Slowness ...perfect for a Friday afternoon. My computer shoulders are less tight now. Thanks, Bill and Rebecca!

Clearly a Yank. Genetically deficient in irony.

I think this song is what the "3. Ho-Hum" rating was invented for.

Bill,

If you started up an "all Calexico, all day" radio station, I'd be the first contributor! Calexico is better than the Beatles.

Garden Ruin is a great next purchase then.

"The Black Light" is even better

Ah! a song about Tucson Arizona! I miss home, the monsoon sky and all the stars in their "slowness"

I bought this album after hearing some of the other tracks on RP. Very solid throughout. Likely step out and get another Calexico soon.

Not a single clinker on this album, but it's better listened to from start to finish...this track by itself doesn't shine as brightly. 7

Bill, this was ironic. Both of the sentences: RadioParadise is already an "all Calexico, all day" radio station. {#Stop}
