From Calexico's fourth studio album, Feast of Wire. This one is a masterpiece. Well, most of Calexico's records are, but as I listen to this track while typing these words, I remember exactly how I felt the first time Mr. Brown played it for me back in 2003. Which is fitting, as I'm listening to Mr. Brown's copy of the record, which he lent me during our previous record swap and I only just acquired a new turntable that easily plays 45 RPM. Now that I can play this, it won't be leaving my 'on deck' pile until we switch out again at the end of the month.
Hot damn is this record fantastic!
NCBD:
Last week I walked into Rick's Comic City in Clarksville and realized a kind of comic book apocalypse had come to pass: with Diamond now bankrupt and liquidated, their POS system, Comic Suite, is defunct. My Drinking with Comics co-host Mike Shinabarger had mentioned this was coming a while ago; however, I didn't fully understand the implications until last week. Stores now have no computerized way to assign books to customers' pulls, order specific books for customers, and a whole mess of other complications. So it's anybody's guess if I'll be able to pull down the books I flag each week, especially the upcoming new titles beginning over the next few weeks. Apparently, there's no good substitute for the software, either.
Here's what I'm hoping to bring home today:
Mindbender's revenge. 'Nuff said! Love this cover.

I'm not sure how I discovered this Captain Beefheart interview on Lettermen, but for whatever reason, it just felt right today:
It's crazy how much he looks like my Uncle Phil. Also, this is 1983, and before I watched the old NBC show that I became such a fan of in the mid-to-late 80s, staying up, watching it with my Mom (always Magnum P.I, and this).
