[lapinchiloca]

decemberists

[jtap66]

How is this band not the biggest act on earth?

[SuperNijara]

Above all that, they're from Tucson! YEHEY for me...Love them, I started listening to them when I was in first year highschool, and still listen to them, and I just graduated from a Culinary School.

[cigs41]

I'm not gonna hate they have a good sound but not for my ears hell at least I gave them a try

[joshtheidiotman2]

All you dislikers, look at the dislike bar. Then look at your dick. NO DIFFERENCE IN SIZE.

[Augussth]

I love Calexico! I hope you visit Buenos Aires again.

Me encanta Calexico! por favor que buena banda espero algún día verlos en vivo en Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[TheStoyanowski]

Calexico is a dirty town but clean band.

[kukoljt]

PURE MAGIC!!! GREAT SONG!!!

[baconlatte]

great song. calexico will never be popular becuz they are too smart, too original, and too subtle for the halfwit american brain.

[JoshuaCuthbert]

@baconlatte and what country are you from oh enlightened one?

[salvadorathens]

Amazing Song !

Flowers From Athens !

[camilledenis21]

steve carell is a pretty good signer :p

[athaming]

[MoonOfNeptune]

Calexico is America's best band.

[Hobbgoblin1]

@MoonOfNeptune Right up there with Wilco in my opinion.

[CowboyMidnight]

@MoonOfNeptune

I agree with your opinion...

[comurph]

@MoonOfNeptune

clearly youve never heard of pinback out of san diego. they arent quite popular but everyone i show them to falls in love with them

[pasadena333]

@comurph Pinback is excellent too ! got one album since 2001 which is owesome !

[musodavid]

[bigboymjt]

[FredC1968]

[chrisold97]

@FredC1968 american classic...local folks in the band as well as canada germany and other parts of the us

[AntonMc1]

i love that comment

[bpaquin83]

Lvoe, love, love Calexico. I got started with The Black Light, then Garden Ruin, and now have Feast of Wire. Any suggestions on which album to go for next? It's incredible that each album is truly different from the one before. Can't get enough of these guys...

[maclennan73]

@bpaquin83 You probably have the best ones, the live album-Scrapping was good and the last one Carried to Dust was excellent.

[xaviera8]

de donde son???

[musicjacques82]

@xaviera8

[musicjacques82]

Austin, Tx me parece

[StPauli4ever32]

wonderfull song and wonderfull video.

[ELBONUSRK]

[Xaxannoul4]

[R1asi]

Yo ni los conocia a estos, y canta bien el, wey, ay que aceptar todo , y no esta aburrida, suena bien, talvez eres un poco desherebrado de buena forma aveces lo soy....

solo te gusta brincar y el slam, ami me encanta

[exirvin]

[taniatania131296]

Te quiero calexico!jajaja!

[deanmelancolico]

calexico es una super bandota ya me imagino a los que van a ver al vive latino a panda que mierda porque calexico en ese puto festival

[deanmelancolico]

el vive latino es una porqueria de festival que solo tokan las bandas con unas cuantas palancas pero en si es una mierda de festival

[alerosm]

[alezi77o]

NO VENGAN AL VIVE LATINO

[salambo31]

What is the instrument at 2:10 ?

[maxigoodvibes]

I think its just a guitar.

there is only 6 strings and its sound like a guitar!!!

[youngaikidoka]

a lap slide guitar :)

[ALESSA73]

I love Calexico, their music and songs

really a great band!!

[SiCkSiLeNCeRMxL]

pinshi kasion sarra bale berga

[itchyswellingbrain]

I would go even a step further and say it is boring...

[mangr626]

i find it a bit expectable,common sound i think!

[SufjanStevensWannabe]

The build up at 2:13 to 2:19! What a climax!

[SufjanStevensWannabe]

Is this a little faster than the album version. It feels like it or maybe i just woke up to such a high listening to this song :) on youtube i may add.

[asantegr]

Read the latest interview of Calexico's Joey Burns in asante Greece

[BIZBEEBLUE]

This really captures what's going on in AZ. Great video. Calexico is the best!

[poetikagirl]

wow so cool

[PatrickWJ]

people just don't wander around abandoned industrial areas like they used to.

[vintagezigg]

@PatrickWJ Great comment about my childhood playgrounds. These days you can get arrested for that.Also I remember they were atmospheric places during acid tripping days.Now I live in Newark NJ in a factory building. Not much difference.

[OleBentsen220]

@PatrickWJ I find your comment poignant, despite any silly intention. People explore far less than they used to. There are so much easy entertainment within reach now. I'm 34, and I'd still love to go explore abandoned industrial areas.

[kevagonia]

@PatrickWJ i think your dad does

[dumpsterqueenattacks]

@PatrickWJ I do.

[MrPinheadSir]

@PatrickWJ I actually do for fotograph

[jet62095]

Does anyone know the trumpet part for this song?

I just want to double check mine. lol

[ledzeppelinbest]

On Lowlands!

[rococodebs]

Seeing them at the Big Chill in 2 weeks...........

[pipoewa]

They were on cactusfestival today and they were just great!

[pipoewa]

They were on cactusfestival today and they were great!

[HybridNosebloom]

New album is good really,but I have to say that early calexico till the feast of wire album is the best period of the band.Great video though

[fimpudentdotcom]

who have made this video?

[S1014994]

they'll be in Rome too!!...great..surely I'll be there.

[missgrunge]

They 'll come to Budapest this summer to perform at Sziget. I can't wait ! :-)

[fotoeventsteve]

....ist doch wirklich a cooler sound....forza steve

[Dunkthepunker]

Such an amazing song, Calexico are one of my all time favorates!!

[sATYRinVENUS]

i love this song..every time i'm travelling alone i love listening calexico..

[sorcerer4860]

So do I....My mind fills up with images whenever I listen to their music...

[Oxigeno64]

Es uno de los temas más bonitos que he escuchado últimamente. Se agradece

[Fiorinasulaco]

In whate state is there a town called Calexico? where is it like,

[silverman321]

californa - mexico

[kevinabadmena]

in California, it's the border with México, its a very ugly, very warm and nasty

[rougyshougy123]

i actually live in calexico, and it is not the best place to live. the nasty part is mostly due to the fact that it a stones throw away from mexico. it would be better to live somewhere else

[sergio3089]

sux to be you pal.. move!!!!!!!!

[simonburkeis]

MDR.

[MondayMeadows]

I'm a big fan but ... something is wrong in this song. Both the acoustic guitar and the drums are rythmically unsound, as if amateur musicians were performing.

[outcold252]

i think it kind of adds to the enjoyment. it not so predictable. kind of like there is unexplained back noise to figure out

[manowar1908]

great work men!!!beloved track

[Ydrilopaido]

31 january , calexico are in town baby.

[gri0tube]

February,9 in my city! Love his guitar..

[flyingwhitetiger135]

thought it smelt like dirty sanchez when i heard this song

[NigerianSeafood]

It's ironical that such a good band got their name from one of the most boring and shittiest cities in the USA!

[v072lc]

they're playing tonight in chicago!

yepee

[Phokhotic]

fuck your racist faggot dad fool

[avestairam]

gamiecai zwadi....

[acousmaman]

Yeah Brussels ... very good concrt... sold out though...

[loveanjel2]

lmao this boyfriend and I had such a funny but beautiful time last night!

[YourTeacherLE]

Great gig in Frankfurt too.

[acousmaman]

Memmphis guitar :-) make me laugh, saw them live yesterday night in Bxl ... amazing show

[CutterScene]

Bxl as in Brussels? Damn, I missed 'em :-<

[ATPFestival]

Calexico play London's Forum 11th October with Bodies Of Water and Get Well Soon

[madcowhunter]

Best indie folk/country band I've heard so far. Not judging only by this song

[sandstromsimon]

Dull, empty.

[andrebreton4]

I don't know but when I saw this I felt like you lied to me; there was no heart, nothing as it should be.!?"!"?

[jazzykins1]

well guess what ppl i live in calexico

huh cant beat that

[maranwe22]

I live in Mexicali, does it count? hehe xD

[GaryJenkins1976]

Viva Mexicali! Viva las Cachanillas!

[jimbo1066]

I live Texicaxicolco so there.

[TheBrokenFrog]

I'm glad they don't!

it's so mainstream and I don't like bands playing on the radio, I can't listen to them anymore

[racoondalini]

you should try being a little more open minded...you are possibly just as close minded as people that only like only mainstream stuff. you should give everything a chance and be individualistic. then you will become a true master.

[TheBrokenFrog]

that may be true :P

and I really apreciate you writing this!

I know that's my weak point..

[jolsonator]

good comment, i don't like it when people dismiss anything that is mainstream, it is rather close-minded. While I agree that most of it isn't good (dominated by thoughtless lyrics), every so often you get a song or artist that displays musical talent, just because it might deservedly get popular doesn't suddenly make it bad.

[Orpheusdawn]

"Then you will become a true master." .... are you a Jedi or something? Racoondalini could easily be the name of an alien... Wait... are you an alien? Please don't stick those cold metal things in my... "places" again... oh... oh god... NO.... NOOOO!!!!

[tomniggah]

@racoondalini master of what? science? pokemon? disguises? majestic space ducks?

[kirkfried]

@racoondalini

more people like you need to exist in this world.

[omega311888]

now why cant they play songs like this on the radio ( yes i know its all about the money but i can still hope )

[licketysplit101]

yeah i live in tucson, and they don't play it.

[oaxakitajux]

Me encanta lo que hace esta banda es realmente increible, su musica me es muy inspiradora. De las mejores bandas de hoy dia.

[kennyguitarguy]

best ever but how do u play the beginning on guitar

[kigorg]

One of the best bands. Ever! Although "Garden Ruin" is not my fave, it is still way beyond many others.

[Schotsmannetje]

I wake up listening to Calexico and I fall asleep listening to Calexico. Need I say more? Their DVD World Drifts In is from another planet by the way, try to get it!

[maythomaymega]

teleio!! phra to cd very nice!!

[satincowboydingo]

I love these guys! There are some great bands from Tucson, have you heard of Project Parallel? Darker sound but still beautiful and really talented. I know they have a video called "Uninhibited" posted on YouTube.

[chipdevourer]

I love how their sound moves around so much.

[autumnalcity]

Is the instrument the guy is playing on his lap a dobro??

[kendo1972]

Think his voice sounds a bit like The great Gram Parsons.

[14wAYNE]

yes, I hadn't made the connection, but now you mention it...

[suuzzee5]

Garden Ruin ... all brilliant, all good!

¡La mejor música en el Internet!

[robvanvelzen]

Great!! Mustload: Johnny Hallyday Mon Fils. Live. Superclip!!

[darktime1]

the new stuff is fucking brilliant - love em all - I find it takes a while longer for some songs to grow on you but you find yourself humming them later

[duclosnicolas]

Bravo mon grand! Tout le monde est content pour toi!

[pitbullfreiburg]

my favourite song from garden ruin

[zenwyo]

Dave and Helen dig this shit! Darn tootin'. Not many finer bands than the Calexico boys.  Long may they roam.

Cheers!

[oaxakitajux]

Una gran banda, una gran cancion, de lo mejor que ha hecho Calexico... me encanta.

[robvanvelzen]

Mustload: Johnny Hallyday Mon Fils. Live. Superclip.

[Partysmurfen]

Calexico rocks! :)

Or, atleast some of their songs do! :)

[milkmit]

Yeah, I own all of their CDs, but they're really hit or miss for me, too. Absolutely LOVE some songs, but really, really don't care for many of them.

[ortonomics]

No offense to Wilco, they are okay I suppose, but I am growing really tired of hearing people compare Calexico to them. This is probably the most original thing to happen to American music since... well, I will leave that to opinion as well.

[lacrimax]

I'm goint to see their presentation in my country...they are here, in Chile

Awesome!

Calexico rocks!

@_0

[1803ana]

my hart is in calexico hands

[Boberman43]

This song is crap. What happened to the mexican guitars!!?? The TRUMPETS!!!! THE VIOLENS!!! ??? !!! That rocked. This sounds like wanna be Steve Nicks crap.

[nuke20ar]

i don't think their new stuff is crap, but i find myself going back to feast of wire a lot because i enjoy that sound a little more.

[MysticalChicken]

I think of Calexico as "Latino-alternative-country," or "like a mariachi band crashed into Wilco's tour bus." I like 'em. I recently watched them on <i>Austin City Limits</i> on PBS. Can't remember if they did this song, but the performance was quite good.

[ninapersson5]

Amazing vid. I'd say sometimes Calexico are better live! Last time I saw them, Joey's voice was so crystal than ever.

Ante kai tou xronou paides na tous ksanadoume na ta spane!

[the1duck]

nai korifi

[dinis3456]

gamatoi :)

[milkmit]

calexico, for me, is lots of hit and miss. but when they hit, they HIT.. love em.

[absutara]

exactly my opinion..

[zola70cfc]

greatest band. cool vid - catch them live if you can !!

[jesstherese]

Best. Band. Ever.

[mandotodd]

I so totally agree with you!

[TheKokuya]

the weird tones are a pedal steel.

They are such a good band, both on CD and live. If you ever go you'll know what i mean, theres just such a great atmosphere there.

[karma9797]

band is great and the kid in it is cute too!

[Avaloner]

calexico are great. White stripes too, and dmb, and eels, and jjcale and walkabouts and lambchop and...lol put some more calexico.

[jasonpauljohnston]

How do they get those tones in the video? so cool...

[Checkyourpants]

Calexico is good
