What I'm Reading:: Alaistair Reynolds. Jaime Hernandez. Landscape theory. Peter Whiteley. Books about projectile points. Site forms. The Baffler.

What I'm Listening To:: Low, Bedhead, Seam, and lots of other bands that don't come to Albuquerque. Oh wait, the New Year just did...

I'm also writing a book about contract archaeology in the SW if you ever want to pontificate on the topic.

At 12:20pm on June 12th, 2008, Angelo Baca said…: Thank you for your comment. You have the true conservitive values that Albuquerque needs. However think of how much water we flush down our toilets. Will you be my friend? :-)

i love info about the archaeology of the region, particularly how it relates to native/indigenous cultures. i worked at the maxwell museum of anthropology many years back assisting the return of NAGPRA related items (mainly skulls). in that case, as in many others around the world, land was purchased by private individuals who kept what they found--namely bodies that had been buried by indigenous people. i guess that was kosher 100 years ago from a legal standpoint but ethically it doesn't fly today....

anyway, thanks so much for the info about alameda pueblo!

At 8:40am on June 2nd, 2008, Laura said…: hi there - thanks for the info on the white doves. You're an archaeologist, huh? I worked in the contract world from 1996-2001, here and in Tucson.

At 1:40pm on May 16th, 2008, 1.6 Band said…: There were a lot of people there. It was a good show. I have been going to the Stove for most of my shows lately. I have no idea when the LP will open back up. The date keeps getting pushed back. A friend in the fire marshal’s office told me they have to install an entire sprinkler system and few other mods before they open. *

At 4:51pm on May 13th, 2008, 1.6 Band said…: Any good shows this summer that you heard of? I don't know if it's because the LP is closed, but this summer is not looking too good to me. What did you think of the Malkmus show?

A couple of hours later, I'm driving up to TJ's and I realised that I wrote Mongomery instead of Paseo del Norte in my post. I thought, well that was a stupid thing to do and hoped that a nice person would catch my mistake.

Someone nice did.
