Manu Chao Shakes It Up At Outside Lands. Saliva & Spirit!I fell in love with Manu Chao somewhere on the bus between Bairritz and Barcelona. It's been a love affair ever since: His beat-friendly pan-global rock is infectious and diverse; you can groove to one night and then fall into a delicious nap under a hammock in the sun while listening to it the next morning. Thus, it was good to know, Man...

Manu Chao's music vids consistently capture a beautiful spirit on film. His brand new video for "Politik Kills" off La Radiolina is a prime example. Self-directed with JS Sauvaire co-directing, it's shot from Chao's perspective as he follows a young fella around Monrovia, Liberia. FADER Mag reports that the kid was a soldier during the civil war that ended only a year ago. As I watched this...

He sings for the disenfranchised; about ghetto poverty and economic immigration; about the bludgeoning power of the USA. Just don't call his infectious exotic cocktail of genres 'world music' - that's "a neo-colonial label ... for music not sung in English."~~

Went and saw Manu Chao the other night, and it was a great show. He's a great artist, and although I couldn't understand lots of the words because I'm a stupid gringo, it was real high energy and tons of fun. I'd recommend it if he ever comes anywhere close to you.

Fascinating new widget, this one, "Top Songs of MOGs Like Me."- I hate Interpol!- "13 Angels" by A Silver Mt. Zion was one of my favorite pieces of music when I was a teenager!- I love the Magnetic Fields!- I dig that Thom Yorke character!- I love Steely Dan... but not Can't Buy a Thrill!- I have a (very brief) history with Francisco Lopez ... that I'd rather not divulge here. Also has to do wi...

Manu Chao is at the Greek in Berkeley tonight! The show is sold out, but I'm considering walking up there to check out the scalper rate. I mean, after all, it is Manu Chao.If you haven't had a chance to hear any of his music, I highly recommend Clandestino: Esperando La Ultima Ola. I don't know if this is his first solo album post-Mano Negra, but I know it was released in 1998 or so. And it is ...

MUSIC: TOP 1501 Goodbye the Band - Sky Tiger LP [download it here, free]Goodbye the Band (download many more of his other albums here, free, as well) is my longtime friend and couple-of-times roommate, the New Jersey-born John Acquadro. He and I have bonded (and occasionally tussled) over the last near-decade about the music we make (among other things), and it is safe to say I've rarely (if ev...
