So instead of starting three different threads for three different albums I have decided to save the WORLD and only post one. So yesterday I bought the new Howe Gelb album...it's really wonderful and probably his best piece of work outside of Giant Sand. AND. the new Jason Collett album which is wonderful and slightly suprisingly so. AND. the new Calexico which is quite dissapointing really, it's really not a patch on 'Feast of Wire' or 'Black Light'.

Your thoughts BELOW, now.
