Calexico does an in-store

You lucky Minneapolis peeps get to see Calexico rock the Sculpture Garden on June 20 -- that is, if you were foresighted enough to score some tickets. If you did, I'm totally envious.

Here they are playing at Other Music in NYC:

random saturday morning ponderfest

the plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face
the mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
grave visitations
what is it that calls to us?
why must we pray screaming?
why must not death be redefined?
we shut our eyes

we stretch out our arms
and whirl on a pane of glass
an afixiation

a fix on anything

the line of life

the limb of a tree
the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women.

How can just a voice and guitar make such a big sound?
