This video was made by my brother and long time collaborator Joe last year with our friend Ted Altman. Shot on a hill somewhere outside of Marfa, Texas. I spent Christmas Day 2008 with Rudi, this song is the story he told me over 2 High Life’s wrapped in aluminum foil and more than a few glasses of various whiskeys. This song is also on ‘Pairs of Things…’

Nicholas Monsour made this video a few years ago, shortly after I wrote the song. The prayer is borrowed from a Mexican votive candle called ‘the spellbreaker’ that somehow appeared on our back porch while living on Maplewood Ave in Chicago. Still love it. A more recent recording of Spellbreaker is on the new record ‘Pairs of Things and Other Stories’.

This is a new-ish song called ‘Keeping up with the Poets’ recorded at our show at Quencher’s in December 2010. Not Summer 2010, jeez.

We once played ‘The Dude of the Dead Festival” in (west) Presidio, Texas. This is someone’s wonderful video collage of that date in time. Yes that is a brief snippet of Cortez the Killer.
