And now, here are three don't-look-outside-if-stuck-at -work-it'll-only-make-you-more -depressed reasons to hit up Schubas tonight... 1. It's an evening with Depedro ! Uh, Depedro? The name might sound unfamiliar with you, but if you dig the smooth sounds of Tucson's alt-country outfit Calexico , then you now Depedro. The new project from Calexico's Jairo Zavala, Depedro fuses together latin, folk, blues, alt-country, classic rock, blues, jazz fusion into a sweet delectable package that, even though the majority of the songs are sung in Spanish, features an earnest and warm vocal delivery.

Day Four – I cool breeze swept the Bonnaroo my campground early Sunday morning. This would be the biggest tease considering the Weather Channel was calling for a high of 104 degrees today. This was also the first day I would be able to take shower while camping at Bonnaroo. For every 10 campgrounds there is a shower station. So obviously as the day goes on, the line gets longer. The shower stations are nothing special, probably something you'd expect at any other campground. It's how you feel once you step outside and the air hits your clean skin that [...]
Enjoy their absolutely fabulous performance of 'Roka' in the feature below. MP3: Calexico - Across The Wire (Acoustic)
As we previously reported, Primus will return to the road this summer for their first headlining tour in four years. The quirky funk-rock act is wasting no time in lining up additional shows by announcing plans for the second annual Oddity Faire, which last year was headlined by Les Claypool's solo band. Joining the bill for the traveling fest, which kicks off on September 14 in Sacramento, CA, will be Mariachi el Bronx , Portugal. The Man and Split Lip Rayfield , with more acts to be confirmed [...]
When you arrive in Manchester, Tennessee, you know you're at Bonnaroo . The heat hits you like a ton of bricks, if those bricks were each tiny little suns. The heat this year was the worst that it's been in a long time, even with the near constant threat of rain, which fell on Wednesday to make for a muddy Centeroo. But after nine years, we've come to expect the mud and the heat. They're hallmarks of Bonnaroo. And even though some people didn't expect this year to live up [...]
HEY! Guess what! We made a mixtape for Amanda over at Tadpole Audio of, what was originally supposed to be at least, "children's tales" - please note the quotation marks - called Come On In, Sit A Spell, & Let Me Tell You A Tale Mixtape!!! It's chock full of tales of hobos & hobbits, of murder & robots, mountaintops, mountain towns, & transvestites, stories of science fiction & hippie adventures, [...]
A bunch of new tunes and an old cover by Calexico that'll hopefully tide you over 'til more new Arcade Fire . Enjoy! I'm not a Band "I'm not a Band" from self released School of Seven Bells "Windstorm" (A Place To Bury Strangers Remix) from Windstorm Single Calexico "Ocean of Noise" (Arcade Fire) from Intervention 7" Fanfarlo "Atlas" from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse OST [...]
Today I ventured down to our local lido in the sunshine with the mackerel sprats for a birthday celebration, and boy, was it busy. I used to swim there in the silence of early summer mornings with a friend who emigrated to Colorado a few years back. Farewells are always hard, particularly when you're the one who's staying put. So this TFI Friday, I'm feeling a tad reflective and rather sentimental as another very fond friend has left these shores for the land of muesli, Toblerone and Heidi. She will be much missed. As TFI is [...]
Filed under: The Hit List , Free MP3 Download of the Day Though it was once considered a concert exclusively for jam band fans and classic-rock revivalists, Bonnaroo has evolved into one of the most diverse musical events of the year and a standout among the countless summer festivals. This year's impressive lineup features some of the biggest names in indie rock, electronica, dance and even comedy. With Bonnaroo 2010 less than a week away, Spinner is here to help you prep for the big weekend before you pack your [...]

#40 Schrapnell - Isolée Album: We Are Monster Year: 2005 Elements of glitch, house and surf pop combine delightfully to make this modish tune from German producer Rajko Müller. Gentle waves of strings mimic hula-esque twang while twitchy guitars, artful layers and sleek hi-hat beats paint a clubbier picture. Somewhere between waves washing up on a [Read Full Post...]
This is my new favourite photo of Boy Z. I think it just personifies him. In motion. Hair flying (Enjoy that hair, little one. Male pattern baldness is hereditary). A cheeky crooked smile. A little bit feral. It's just essence of Boy Z. It has been kind of a lost weekend. Not like those that were frequent in my 20's - days of memories lost to booze, drugs and the trappings that went along with them. No, lost in the sense of time that is irretrievable. Lost to a combination of driving rain, a dodgy tooth, a croupy [...]
My internet shat itself yesterday, and didn't come back up until this afternoon - here's what should've appeared yesterday... What better way to kick off your Friday than with a selection of the best tracks from the It All Started archives? If I'm honest though, this is really just an excuse for me to repost all those tracks that I love and that you may have missed the first time round. Today's edition is all about the coverage... enjoy! Always On My Mind (Willie Nelson Cover) - Iron & Wine with Calexico [...]

MySpace It's bad form, but I'm generally too lazy to type out the HTML special characters that properly render things like accents or other non-English written language goodies, but in the case of The Dø , I'll make an exception - one usually only reserved for the mighty umlaut. It's hard to describe what The Dø do - their debut album A Mouthful encompasses a wide range of styles, dwelling where folk, jazz and hip-hop intersect at pop. The ensuing melange is catchy yet discomfiting, [...]
MySpace It's bad form, but I'm generally too lazy to type out the HTML special characters that properly render things like accents or other non-English written language goodies, but in the case of The Dø , I'll make an exception - one usually only reserved for the mighty umlaut. Partly because failing to do so reduces French-Finnish duo's brief yet memorable name to something utterly forgettable (though either way they're going to have to accept that it's going to be mispronounced), but also because the slashed o - "ø" - just looks so cool.

L'idea sembra è venuta a Gary Lightbody , voce e frontman degli Snow Patrol , alla fine dello scorso anno. Così ha contattato il chitarrista degli R.E.M. Peter Buck, il batterista dei Belle And Sebastian Richard Colburn e Scott McCaughey dei Minus Five (da anni ormai in tour e in studio con gli stessi R.E.M. ). Detto fatto: messa in piedi la band, ha deciso di incidere un disco. Il gruppo si chiama Tired Pony e il primo disco arriverà nei negozi il prossimo 12 [...]
Arizonan (don't hold it against them) duo Calexico will join Ozomatli , Los Super Seven , and The Mexican Institute of Sound for ¡Viva Mexico! and their first performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The concert, part of the KCRW World Festival series, is to honor the bicentennial of Mexico's independence and the centennial of the Mexican Revolution, neither of which (contrary to the beliefs of tequila lovers everywhere) is celebrated on May 5th. Indeed, the event takes place on September 18th, and will also feature Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles [...]
The first post of the month features covers of every track on a famous album. Got an idea for a future pick? Leave a note in the comments! London Calling entered into the world in December 1979, but didn't make its stateside debut for another month. That makes 2010 the album's 30th Anniversary on this side of the pond. It's aged well. While many classic albums sound very much of their time -
