sierras, ovejas y calaveras







Caught up with Judge Ed again, along with Kate, T-Lo and SS, at the Malkmus Empire gig - a good old fashioned Crops night out but another strangely unsatisfying SM gig: it's really odd how someone whose albums are so top-notch just doesn't seem to cut the live mustard, but there you have it.
Oslo's Thingumajigsaw, on the other hand, are well worth seeing live, if today's marvellous session was anything to go by - the saw and the banjo are a very fine combination indeed and they do a great cover of Daniel Johnson's 'Walking the Cow'.
The calaveras are on a mural opposite a primary school in Lant Street, just down the road from top cantina, El Vergel.

I'm guessing Sir-Text-Alot, has had three pints?
