2004-12-17 Tucson review

From the Casa list:

Last night's show was quite unique. John and Joey were there, Joey on acoustic for almost all of the songs. Gene Ruley, formerly of The Drakes, River Roses, Phantom Limbs....played lead. I refer to him as the man who invented Desert Rock, though I have come to loathe that term. He really added a rough edge that I haven't heard live at a Calexico show before. It was great to see him dirty it up a little. Nick Luca played keyboard and filled out the sound quite nicely. Chris Giambelluca of Nick's trio played bass. Ummm, and I think local delta blues man Tom Walbank jumped in every once in a while. It was a slightly different sound than usual. In a good way. There were the usual songs they've played all tour, plus some cover song at the end that I knew the words to put couldn't figure out the artist.
The lead singer of Galactic Federation of Love(opener) came out and sang back up during this song. If you're in the area, I highly recommend seeing these guys. (...)

Puta Party lyrics

Sunday night, 3 a.m.
In the backyard of Yvonne's
On my street in the old red light district
In Barrio Viejo, Tucson
Perfect place for the ladies to engage
Perfect place for the night to erase
One come all dressed in lace, black satin corset
Made-up face, dreaming of love
Way out on the wire of the night
Smashed up bottles all over the place
She come from old town Chicago
Where the hearts are left out in the snow
Waiting for the night to erase
Perfect place for the ladies to engage
Perfect place for a puta party
Another one come all done up in black
Fishnets and strapless top
Thinking about her lover, unanswered phone line
Busy, your line's engaged
Every time she tries to call
A little knife blade inches its way
All stuck out there in the hour
The hearts to engage
Perfect place for the ladies to erase
Perfect place for a puta party
Perfect place, saving up for a burial place
Perfect place for a puta party

Oki Dog lyrics

Oki Dog

Stars are out
And the sky is brown
Their eyes are burnt
Where the sun went down
Somewhere over the deep blue sea
Far away from here
When hopes crush dreams
Didn't dream a thing
Up the whole night
And out on the street
Both freaky Dave and Angelene
Searching for Crissy
Who never came back
Hopped in a car and it didn't feel right
Didn't feel a thing

Over at Oki Dog's
Scrounge up some food
Hanging around and looking (digging) for clues
Oki Steve points, stares at the tv
Turns down the volume
And Angelene weeps
Oh, Angelene weeps
Didn't feel a thing

(Ad libing:)
Didn't feel a damn thing
Didn't dream a single dream
Driving, driving, driving away
Didn't feel a thing

1998-04 Jade Web interview

In French:

Red Crayola : "Victory Garden". Quand j'ai commencé à étudier la musique classique, on nous faisait écouter des extraits de disques de n'importe quel style et de n'importe quelle période. Le but du jeu consistait moins à identifier le nom de l'ouvre ou celui de l'artiste qu'à situer dans le temps l'enregistrement. On appelait ce jeu « Drop The Needle ». Ce morceau de Red Crayola est magnifique, on dirait Dylan à la période "Desire" ou "John Wesley Harding". Pour être honnête, je ne suis pas très familier avec les disques de ce groupe.
