NEW CD3 ADS

My story about the latest tv ad campaigns among CD 3 candidates can be found HERE.

Below are the first Ben Ray Lujan commercial and the latest Don Wiviott ad.

XIU XIU AT CSF

Xiu Xiu, whose album Women as Lovers I just reviewed in Terrell's Tune-Up, played a crazy intense set Monday night at the College of Santa Fe. (check some photos HERE.)

They were far more powerful in person than their album. Singer Jamie Stewart performs like a man possessed. Sometimes his eyes roll back as he submerges in song. It's like he's sobbing and shouting into the abyss -- and the abyss roars back.

I was most impressed with drummer Ches Smith, who pounds away like a madman.

Keyboardist Caralee McElroy is pretty amazing herself, nonchalantly moving around from instrument to instrument -- synths, harmonium, melodica, flute, a tiny glockenspiel, whistles. And occasionally she'll pound on the drums. I'm not sure how she remembers all her parts.

Rounding out the band is bassist Devin Hoff. He stays in the background, but his playing is solid.

At one point after a song, Stewart seemed to stumble. He said "Oh shit!" and sat down for a moment. Caralee brought him a glass of water. After a couple of sips he got back up and continued on without further problems.

One thing that's obvious, Xiu Xiu is a band that gives it their all.

$2,000 NAVAJO RUG/25 CENT NEW MEXICO COIN

Hundreds of people just crammed into the state Capitol Rotunda for the official launch of the New Mexico quarter.

I could barely hear the speeches, but, because I was standing right behind them, my favorite part was The Santa Fe All Stars, who provided music for the ceremony.

And my favorite song the All Stars did today was, immediately after the ceremony, a subversive little Joe West tune called "$2,000 Navajo Rug," a gentle jab at Santa Fe elitism. You can hear a version HERE by an earlier Joe West band, The Sinners.

Quick math: A $2,000 Navajo rug would cost 8,000 New Mexico quarters.

RICHARDSON EXILED TO ARIZONA

At least according to the Trinidad & Tobago Express:

That power, however, appears at last to be fading. How else to interpret the Clinton campaign's loud denunciations of Arizona Governor Bill Richardson for endorsing Obama, two weeks ago?

I know Trinidad is in Colorado, but where is this Tobago?
