but not a medium-sized university?

@charlie - kinda large lol - 40000 in a town of 80000
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:34pm Charlie:

haven't spent much time in Albuquerque . . . I've visited Taos, Santa Fe, and an obscure town all the way in the south of NM . . . always had a great time.
Avatar 12:36pm Michael:

Joey - Heading out to NM in September, mostly Santa Fe. Like Charlie, always had a great time there.
Avatar 12:36pm ndbob:

good song here Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:37pm Charlie:

ndBob -- this is a whole album of covers, all different singers, quite good; there's a second album too

@Charlie @Michael, Albuquerque is the worst place in NM. The state is incredible, absolutely love Taos.

Fave NM places - Las Vegas, Madrid, Ribera
  12:45pm joeydehnert:

I second Madrid, it's so awesome. Super funky town.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:45pm Charlie:

Loved Taos, and environs (Ojo Caliente). Spent a few vacations south of Silver City, remote, desert, great. Near the Gila cave dwellings.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:46pm listener james from westwood:

I have friends in Rio Rancho, who have been eager for folks to visit. Would be great to explore the scenery w/o having to pay a hotel!!
  12:48pm frenchee:

So I walk away for a bit and come back to ETTA. OOOOh, ETTTA
Avatar 12:48pm Michael:

Have yet to get south of Albuquerque but would like to. Love the area around Santa Fe and up to Taos. The drive there was fantastic I thought. Acoma, Bandolier; hell just driving around was an adventure.
  12:49pm frenchee:

@ndbob: Bloomington is the only place I'd return to Indiana for. Need to do more New Mexican traveling.....OOOh ETTTA

Dogs and cows are the official animals of the Parqbench family, so when FMU adopted them as its symbol, that suited me just fine.

It seems like no matter where I go on vacations, I always find a cavern to explore. New Mexico I only passed through, but our one stop was Carlsbad Caverns.

That piano gag was stolen from Lenny Bruce, BTW.

"Otherwise, what are the characters going to fall off of?" That was the line that first made me a Laurie Anderson fan.

I got a speeding ticket in Albequirky in 1979. That's it. end of story.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:38pm pacific standard simon:

@Charlie - I'm pretty sure the CDs are out of print, but there are downloads available at Amazon & iTunes. While I was checking, learned that The Weedkiller's Daughter was named for a 1970 novel.
Avatar 1:43pm northguineahills:

Thanks for the links, Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:48pm Brian C.:

John & Mary's 2nd LP "Weedkillers Daughter" has Alex Chilton on a track or 2
I always liked them a lot too. John's vocals are an, uh, acquired taste

There's more to Arlo than just... well, you know.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:55pm Charlie:

I like the other quieter version of Big Day Coming that opens the album too.
  1:56pm frenchee:

I was enjoying the Arlo until he sang "off-DEN"--a recent pet peeve of mine, but I can forgive Arlo.
