Music of the day is definitely Tex-Mex

I was blown away by this incredible video for the song "Frijoleros" by the band Molotov. Catchy tune, with creative graphics and great color sense. Check it out -- but be prepared to wait for a slow download.

Also read this interview with the director of "Be Here to Love Me," a new documentary about singer-songwriter-senstive-and-cruel-70's-man Townes Van Zandt. Unrelated to Van Zandt, I love this part of the interview:

Margaret Brown (the young director and NYU grad): You thought I was some dumb New York girl.
Lee Daniel (veteran cinematographer): [laughs] Well, you know, NYU.

Read a brief into to Van Zandt here, and check out his family's site here. The man created a special body of work, and it gets my purple thumb's up.
