Another episode: Trying to read some kind of post-ironic value or miraculous creative vacuum which the label as handler may have stumbled upon, I’ve attended the MySpace of Sam Francis as suggested by his saran-wrapped CDr and found little sway in any possible direction, leaving me just the folded, hand-written wrapper and nine songs of ‘The Roarkian Template’ to determine. While very uneven in terms of quality – really mandating just one shit-fest (“Close the Deal”) to be excised entirely - the disc earns points for idiosyncracy alone, beginning with the cultural autism of Ted Leo picking unrequited Van Halen riffs on “Koshabox”, Francis’ style crossing the oblique songwriting of Jacob Smigel with the ugly, home-tracked production of a Belly Boat or Ariel Pink. Vastly outshining the tack-board of his guitar, Francis' use of synthesizers and drum machines frequently (and likely unintentionally) suggests the gauzy brilliance of ‘Low’ era Eno and ‘The Return of the Durutti Column’, most notably in the canned-Salsa of “Productivo”, and the closing pair of (mostly) instrumentals “Jersey” and “Sea of Orange”. Bizarre, yet inexplicably relevant.

The Cities is were we where Born or live... Yes we are going to perform... At the moment we are very broke with some equipment that needs to be fix and other problems. We had a local show almost four weeks ago and went very well. It was a local bar and we got people on top of the tables screaming.
Even this album was done in a soft key... We can Rock in many ways... This our first CD was done with very little equipment even we own our hown recording studio with state of the art equipment. We recorded inside a 30 food RV... jejeje. Three weeks and that is after at that time we worked. We didi it from 2 to 5 pm every day for three weeks... Then we had to quit the job because we weren't getting pay... Still owes us $499.00.
We still with out work... But its Ok.
We want to move to Miami Fla. We are in Albuquerque NM.
If you feel to reply I am going to be here for couple hours still.
I personally (Chispa here) feel that the apocalipse has been here since immemoriable times... As bad we have today, I feel it has been worse in the past... But with all the world new that we are getting it has become a mayor input in our brains.
The most important thing that I can think right now is for us to unite and kick out the landlosrds, Ministers, and all these who wnat to be more. today the change has to be global. and respect will be the key for all.
Thank you for the comments, friendship and all that jazz... We enjoy them very much. We are wishing you a great and extraunordinary day.
