Hey I like how this links up with a book of the same title written by my old CU Writing Program buddy Luis Alberto Urrea; Bravo Luis, and Bueno, Calexico! Con carino mucho, amigos!

Pseudo illegitimate my a**!! Get yer cattail down to the Border and learn a bit first before you comment. They are the real deal just as much as Selena and Los Lobos and la banda and mariachis (who are actually pan-Mexican imports from Jalisco). One big musical melting pot, sweetie. catmaven wrote:

The more I hear Calexico, the more it grows on me. I happen to like this "illegitimate gringo pseudo-mex "music" (as catmaven referred to it.), always have. I prefer not to limit myself musically or otherwise.

This is there original genre. They are highly talented musicians that happen to have Mexican/South Cal influences. To write them off as "gringo pseudo-mex" music means no one can be influenced by any culture.

You can have the trumpets, I'll take the pedal steel!

Ok stuff, but the other tunes were much better. Tired of hearing this.

In my experience, Calexico is like pizza and sex...when it's good it's great, and when it's bad, it's still pretty good!
