Music Mania thirded.

As far as Austin Mexican, Chuy’s is good for TexMex (also Matt’s El Rancho, my family’s favorite, weird fifties/sixties boxer-gone-straight James Ellroy style), if you want int. MX try elsewhere, lots of little places around. I like La Michoacana on E 7th (right? can’t remember).

If we’re talking Mexican food in Austin, I heartily second Chuy’s, esp the roasted poblanos. !Ay dios mio que rico!

And the Whole Foods (new) flagship store is worth experiencing too. Surreal in scale, and it’s right around the corner from Waterloo Records to boot — though you wouldn’t know that from Google Maps, which shows a large empty lot where the behemoth market now stands.

AMODA is great. They’re the only crew putting on progressive, electronic shows in Austin. I can recommend Music Mania for Texas Rap (http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Guides/Location?oid=45544), and for Mexican music, I’m sure there are a few shops down Cesar Chavez. This page has a good list of Austin record stores (http://www.ctxgrooves.com/tt_records.html). But, in case you’ve never been, go to Guero’s, El Chile, Chuy’s or Las Manitas for delicious Mexican food. Damn, I miss the food. Where can I get some good tacos al carbon in NY?

PS Have you heard dalek’s remix for this Austin instrumental band called My Education? Slow, melodic, dirty. It’s a split 12″ called “Spiegel im Spiegel”. Worth a listen for sure.

Hope you enjoy yourself.

Record stores in Austin, huh? There is one in South Austin called Friends of Sound that has a lot of vinyl of various kinds. That is, to the best of my knowledge the nearest proper DJ-oriented shop. Antones has some good stuff and Waterloo is a good look, they tend to go out of their way to promote Texas music. I think that Rapid Ric would be the best person to talk to, in terms of Texas rap. I am really looking forward to the show, I can barely contain myself.

to be your i.t.,
but i have less special skills,
than N. Dynamite.

Damn! Had the good fortune to hear an amazing piece of vinyl the other day featuring the voice of Uma Sumac. Wondering if in your sonic omnexcellence whether you might know if her sounds live anywhere online… and if you’ve ever reworked her voice. She’s in that realm verging on Diamand Galasiousness. as in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
