Calexico - Cruel

[@ronalda.kuipers3935]

These guys have possibly succeeded in writing a sadder song than any ever penned by Hank Williams Sr., and that is a singular artistic accomplishment. This song is a lament of the highest order.

[@madcowhunter]

Best indie folk/country band I've heard so far. Not judging only by this song

[@ALESSA73]

I love Calexico, their music and songs really a great band!!

[@jtap66]

How is this band not the biggest act on earth?

[@Xaxannoul4]

Oh!His voice is awesome!!!I love Calexico!!

[@oaxakitajux]

Una gran banda, una gran cancion, de lo mejor que ha hecho Calexico... me encanta.

[@milkmit]

calexico, for me, is lots of hit and miss. but when they hit, they HIT.. love em.

[@suuzzee5]

Garden Ruin ... all brilliant, all good! ¡La mejor música en el Internet!

[@Oxigeno64]

Es uno de los temas más bonitos que he escuchado últimamente. Se agradece

[@Augussth]

I love Calexico! I hope you visit Buenos Aires again. Me encanta Calexico! por favor que buena banda espero algún día verlos en vivo en Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[@lamouchejohn4305]

17 ans déjà...toujours aussi bon!

[@oaxakitajux]

Me encanta lo que hace esta banda es realmente increible, su musica me es muy inspiradora. De las mejores bandas de hoy dia.

[@kigorg]

One of the best bands. Ever! Although "Garden Ruin" is not my fave, it is still way beyond many others.

[@FredC1968]

This is prof that great music can come from Tucson!

[@gri0tube]

February,9 in my city! Love his guitar..

[@pitbullfreiburg]

my favourite song from garden ruin

[@milkmit]

Yeah, I own all of their CDs, but they're really hit or miss for me, too. Absolutely LOVE some songs, but really, really don't care for many of them.

[@MysticalChicken]

I think of Calexico as "Latino-alternative-country," or "like a mariachi band crashed into Wilco's tour bus." I like 'em. I recently watched them on Austin City Limits on PBS. Can't remember if they did this song, but the performance was quite good.

[@kirkfried]

@racoondalini more people like you need to exist in this world.

[@rogermurray8553]

This band is traveling a unique road with an excess of talent and pleasure to impart so to the musical Gods, please extend their cult status passport for another ten years.

[@mandotodd]

I so totally agree with you!

[@bpaquin83]

Lvoe, love, love Calexico. I got started with The Black Light, then Garden Ruin, and now have Feast of Wire. Any suggestions on which album to go for next? It's incredible that each album is truly different from the one before. Can't get enough of these guys...

[@jimbo1066]

I live Texicaxicolco so there.

[@soyoumissyouroldlife1279]

thanks!!

[@jazzykins1]

well guess what ppl i live in calexico huh cant beat that

[@chrisold97]

@FredC1968 american classic...local folks in the band as well as canada germany and other parts of the us

[@TheBrokenFrog]

that may be true :P and I really apreciate you writing this! I know that's my weak point..

[@jolsonator]

good comment, i don't like it when people dismiss anything that is mainstream, it is rather close-minded. While I agree that most of it isn't good (dominated by thoughtless lyrics), every so often you get a song or artist that displays musical talent, just because it might deservedly get popular doesn't suddenly make it bad.

[@acousmaman]

Memmphis guitar :-) make me laugh, saw them live yesterday night in Bxl ... amazing show

[@14wAYNE]

yes, I hadn't made the connection, but now you mention it...

[@ninapersson5]

Amazing vid. I'd say sometimes Calexico are better live! Last time I saw them, Joey's voice was so crystal than ever. Ante kai tou xronou paides na tous ksanadoume na ta spane!

[@ryantheking12]

My second favorite American band (first is the decemberists)

[@omega311888]

now why cant they play songs like this on the radio ( yes i know its all about the money but i can still hope )

[@BlueHopi144]

@comurph Pinback is excellent too ! got one album since 2001 which is owesome !

[@comurph]

@MoonOfNeptune clearly youve never heard of pinback out of san diego. they arent quite popular but everyone i show them to falls in love with them

[@maclennan73]

@bpaquin83 You probably have the best ones, the live album-Scrapping was good and the last one Carried to Dust was excellent.

[@ledzeppelinbest]

On Lowlands!

[@kennyguitarguy]

best ever but how do u play the beginning on guitar

[@tomhapje]

@racoondalini master of what? science? pokemon? disguises? majestic space ducks?

[@CutterScene]

Bxl as in Brussels? Damn, I missed 'em :-

[@JasonPaulJohnston]

How do they get those tones in the video? so cool...

[@MarciBatchelor-w4s]

Cool

[@ATPFestival]

Calexico play London's Forum 11th October with Bodies Of Water and Get Well Soon

[@maranwe22]

I live in Mexicali, does it count? hehe xD

[@leobardogastelum9419]

puro Calexico buena banda q noo

[@andrebreton4]

I don't know but when I saw this I felt like you lied to me; there was no heart, nothing as it should be.!?"!"?

[@taniatania131296]

Te quiero calexico!jajaja!

[@joshbeykovsky1005]

''United States'' best band

[@Hobbgoblin1]

@MoonOfNeptune Right up there with Wilco in my opinion.

[@fimpudentdotcom]

who have made this video?

[@salambo31]

What is the instrument at 2:10 ?

[@angelogiangiorgi973]

salambo31 ..steel guitar player

[@fotoeventsteve]

....ist doch wirklich a cooler sound....forza steve

[@TheBrokenFrog]

I'm glad they don't! it's so mainstream and I don't like bands playing on the radio, I can't listen to them anymore

[@CrankyB1tsch]

very Simon and Garfunkel style this one

[@Orpheusdawn]

"Then you will become a true master." .... are you a Jedi or something? Racoondalini could easily be the name of an alien... Wait... are you an alien? Please don't stick those cold metal things in my... "places" again... oh... oh god... NO.... NOOOO!!!!

[@maxigoodvibes]

I think its just a guitar. there is only 6 strings and its sound like a guitar!!!

[@acousmaman]

Yeah Brussels ... very good concrt... sold out though...

[@GeraldZecker]

Cristof, It has been 5 weeks since i first sent you an invoice for the work i have done for city slang. I have send you 4 emails since then and about 20 today. You have not answered one email regarding payment for the work i have done for you. What gives?

[@richieroma]

shhhh don't tell them :)

[@ortonomics]

No offense to Wilco, they are okay I suppose, but I am growing really tired of hearing people compare Calexico to them. This is probably the most original thing to happen to American music since... well, I will leave that to opinion as well.

[@flyingwhitetiger135]

thought it smelt like dirty sanchez when i heard this song

[@alezi77o]

NO VENGAN AL VIVE LATINO

[@cigs41]

I'm not gonna hate they have a good sound but not for my ears hell at least I gave them a try

[@lapinchiloca]

decemberists

[@rougyshougy123]

i actually live in calexico, and it is not the best place to live. the nasty part is mostly due to the fact that it a stones throw away from mexico. it would be better to live somewhere else

[@kevinabadmena]

in California, it's the border with México, its a very ugly, very warm and nasty

[@itchyswellingbrain]

I would go even a step further and say it is boring...

[@gramerish123]

god damn bored

[@roxitoOcerezZa]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...................¡¡ tocan bien pero no para el vive latinooo

[@sandstromsimon]

Dull, empty.

[@baldemar05]

jajaja..q hueva no vengan al vive latino....no esta chido...
