Language[edit]

Someone please clarify. This passage: "At the end of 2000, Calexico joined with two French friends Naïm Amor and Thomas Belhorn to record Tete a Tete for release at the beginning of 2001. The band released two collections of rarities during 2001. Even My Sure Things Fall Through collected outtakes from previous albums, B-sides, remixes and material previously unreleased in the US. The album also featured Mariachi Luz de Luna who frequently played live with the duo. The Aerocalexico album was sold exclusively at their gigs in 2001."

What album is the 'this album' that featured Mariachi Luz de Luna? Even My Sure Things Fall Through? Aerocalexico? Tete a Tete? Something else? I'm confused. JonathanNil 23:44, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Videography: The article says the video for Quattro from Feast of Wire/2003 was their first one (6th column of recording history). I recall watching videos both of The Ballad of Cable Hogue and Crystal Frontier (both from Hot Rail/2000). Does anyone know if there are possibly even older ones? -Simon

There was a video for "The Black Light", see http://youtube.com/watch?v=K6r8i9SH-hQ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.216.115.217 (talk) 16:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any justification for 'Calexico' diverting here rather than to the city? Marthiemoo (talk) 22:08, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discography should be a separate link like other bands have. Also, several items missing from the discography:

The band history section needs to be updated

In 2010, a new album of Calexico was released: the soundtrack of the documentary "Circo".

"Until recently, Calexico has been on tour with Arcade Fire along the west coast in 2010." - recently was 2 years ago

"A new album, Algiers, is due out in September 2012 on ANTI Records and CITY SLANG (Europe)" The record is out now — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.132.209.156 (talk) 19:11, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Discography[edit]

The discography needs to be split into an article of its own, unless it has been merged before? Karst (talk) 11:14, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support split - Discography section takes up close to one third of the page, and should be split to a new article entitled Calexico discography. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:44, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
