Funny how things unfold.
Last night I caught around half of I'm Not There, the film about Bob Dylan without Bob Dylan. After a time trying to work out what was going on, just as I was about to switch channels, a group of hillbillies (a "brass band" according to the credits) in a country bandstand played a lush version of Goin' To Acapulco. It goes alright. (It was better on film than on Youtube.)
Today I open up the Age to see:
A recent string to Calexico's bow was working on the soundtrack to Todd Haynes' 2007 Bob Dylan film I'm Not There. They played on a number of tracks, including the album highlight Goin' to Acapulco, with My Morning Jacket's Jim James.
Anyway, I figured this post was too long for Twitter.
I've seen 'em play a couple of times. Which is to say that whilst the first time may have been out of curiosity, the second wasn't. Or something.

Was supposed to see 'em play last time they were out, but got lazy at the last minute and pulled the pin. My brother said I was an idiot because they were completely grouse.
