Calexico to Play in Outer Space

Space Shuttle Calexico won't physically be orbiting in space, but their music will! Friends and family of space shuttle Discovery astronauts get to play DJ by choosing songs to wake the astronauts each morning and one such family member is a fan.

Shuttle commander Mark Kelly's wife, Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords, has chosen two songs: the bugle call from her husband's days at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (that song is so 19th century) and Calexico's "Crystal Frontier" from the Tuscon band's 2001 odds and ends collection, Aerocalexico.

This momentous event will occur on June 13th but you can make it happen now, here on lame ol' Earth, buy checking out the tune below. This is pretty sweet intergalactic publicity considering Calexico have a brand new record, Carried To Dust, coming out on September 9th via Touch & Go.

"Recorded entirely under solar power," Brightblack Morning Light like things like tee-pees, headbands and most likely hallucinogenic drugs. More solar power to 'em. Their second album of slow motion hippie blues, Motion to Rejoin, is due September 23rd on Matador. [DOWNLOAD]

Consider Rook essential summer listening. Like your "Summer Reading" list, Rook isn't really "summer-y" at all. It's heavy, dense, dramatic and beautiful and dark. Four of those five adjectives actually DO apply to summer, come to think of it... - jimtarnation  [READ REVIEW]
