< Hofmann raves about El Norte >

For another subtle statement on the American Dream and people who have
no part in it, see the powerful documentary of streetlife, Streetwise.
There's even a Tom Waits song on the soundtrack.

A superb album to accompany Streetwise: Chris D./Divine Horsemen's
Time Stands Still. If you've given up on acoustic pseudo-folk of the streets
the rawness and intensity of this one will blow you away. "Heat of the Sun"
is more disconcerting and chilling than anything I've heard recently.
