Consequently we all lost interest and left to see the recently reformed American Music Club. They played four great songs before I ventured across the street to Exodus, braving an extremely full house to see Calexico, who played a bunch of my favorites, including their terrific cover of Love's "Alone Again Or," the wistful "Not Even Stevie Nicks" from their last album Feast of Wire, and their triumphant "The Crystal Frontier." South by Southwest seems pretty cool when you can check out Mark Eitzel and then run across the street for Calexico.

Wären S. und ich nicht so müde gewesen an dem Abend, dann wären wir am selben Ort gewesen, der Berichterstatter und wir, beim American Music Club, aber wir haben anderthalb Bands zuvor aufgegeben. Sonst war er immer anderswo, entnehme ich dem Bericht.
