					<description><![CDATA[Gentle Reader(s)—hold onto your hair—today is your lucky day! Why is today your lucky day? Today is your lucky day because YOU have stumbled onto Part Nine of the Road Crew saga! Place a bet on the ponies, buy a lottery ticket, acquire some risky stock, forget about getting hit by a meteorite, cuz YOU are on a roll. This chapter is a real thriller, let me tell you: The band ventures ever deeper into the heartland, hits the stage in support of the high-flying Tom Kindler Band, risks life and limb in their valiant quest for the Big Time, and comes face-to-face with their fandom. Spoiler alert: No vintage Stratocasters were harmed and everybody gets to go home happy&#8230; at least for the moment. So, there you go. I will sound one note of alarm, however, and that note is that this is likely to be the second-to-last episode...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When I walked in the door last night my first thought was that they were having me on. Katia and Wolf were sitting there at the end of the bar grinning at me and, other than the two of them, the Place. Was. Empty. It wasn&#8217;t my birthday or anything so it didn&#8217;t make any sense that everyone would be hiding in the back to spring a surprise party on me—there simply weren&#8217;t no one there. Slow evenings are bound to happen every once in a while but it is very rare indeed for Ye Olde Matador Bar &#38; Lounge to be completely devoid of clientele at any given point on any given day. It&#8217;s always possible, if not probable, that things will pick up substantially over the course of an evening but when you&#8217;re coming from an absolute dead-in-the-water, tumbleweeds-blowing-through-the-joint cold start it&#8217;s a hard road to turn it...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Welcome back once again to that paragon of Euterpian virtue, that Orphean/Eurydicean journey through the dense subterranean murk of Ye Olde Matador Bar &#38; Lounge, that curiously curated labyrinthian musical curlicued dance of Id and Ego—yes, you guessed it, it&#8217;s another edition of DJ Inky&#8217;s Matador Playlist. Did you miss me? I sure as hell missed you, whoever the hell you are. I&#8217;ll be of a truth unto you, Gentle Reader(s)—it&#8217;s like This: The older I get (and the process does seem to be inevitable and ongoing) the harder it is for me to rouse my skinny ass up and return to the Matador DJ booth after an absence. The more prolonged the absence, the more difficult it becomes and my regular relocations to Ink South are quite prolonged. I&#8217;ve never been a morning person, but in recent years I&#8217;ve gravitated further and further away from the night owl ways...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It has been a weird winter in Santa Fe, Gentle Reader(s)—more like The Winter That Never Was in actual fact. Here we are in mid-March and temperatures are headed for around 85 degrees over the next few days. That&#8217;s not just odd—it&#8217;s bizarre, freaky, unheard of. I&#8217;ve been living in this town for 36 years and I&#8217;ve never seen anything quite the likes of it, and it&#8217;s got me a bit rattled I don&#8217;t mind sayin. But what&#8217;s that got to do with Part Eight of The Road Crew? Well you might ask: Absolutely fuck-all, that&#8217;s what. I just wanted to get that particular observation off my chest. On with the matter at hand then. Part Eight of the Cretins saga finds the boys recovering from a night out on the &#8216;town&#8217; and heading further into deepest, darkest Middle America for their rendezvous with the Big Time in Omaha, Nebraska....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Part Seven! At last, Gentle Reader(s)—here it is! I have relocated to Ink South for a break from chilly Santa Fe, though seeing as how it has been The Winter That Never Was out West it&#8217;s actually a bit redundant. Yes, it is warmer in New Orleans, but not by a whole lot. We do have that nutty carnival thing going on at the moment though, so that&#8217;s something. This installment of the TRC saga finds the boys launched into the unknowable mysteries of post-gig nocturnal Wichita—sort of a Lynch-ian type late night scenario&#8230; minus any backwards-talking tap dancing dwarves or mysterious teen queen murders or anything like that. Actually, there&#8217;s no Twin Peaks resemblance whatsoever, but hopefully you&#8217;ll read it anyway. Until next time&#8230; Part Seven Backstage at Croaker’s the band lounged around on a couple of ratty brown naugahyde couches, mopping themselves off with towels and chatting about...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Gear: Can’t live with it, can’t live without it! Ye Olde Matador Bar &#38; Lounge has its share of Gear: A DVD/BluRay player, hundreds of movies, a rack full of amplifiers, crossovers and EQs, turntables, mixers, speakers, a sub-woofer, and cables—LOTS of cables. The Gear rack originally contained a professional dual CD player but I don’t think it was ever used and it went the way of the dodo bird years ago. Much of the Gear is covered in a thick layer of greasy bar dust and grime and I generally try not to touch any aspect of it that I don’t absolutely have to touch. Cesar set all the Gear up and all concerns and requests are best referred to him. A fair amount of this Gear has been here since the bar opened and, generally speaking, it has held up quite admirably these past 19 years. Various bits...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A brief hiatus, Gentle Reader(s), for Goth Night (every third Thursday) and a winter storm and Your Humble Narrator is back in the saddle at Ye Olde Matador Bar &#38; Lounge for another inimitable evening of signature DJ Inky toonage. The second winter storm of the season—this one of intimidating strength and size—is bearing down on our little mountain town and Katia and I are hoping that the fevered anticipation of being snowed in for the weekend is inspiring folks to come out and lift a warming beverage before the fluffy stuff flies. As it happens, Santa Fe is the capital of our fair state, and this year’s legislative session just kicked off a couple of days ago. The Matador has long been a favored haunt of the legislative crowd (staffers, lobbyists and journalists for certain, if not quite so much the actual legislators themselves) and from the look of...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A bit late, perhaps, Gentle Reader(s), but here at last is Part Six of the TRC saga. I&#8217;ve been somewhat distracted of late, I will admit, by the distressing state of both world and national affairs and it requires some effort to restrain myself from spending half the day poring over the newspapers (I typically peruse five no less than five). Here, perhaps, is a bit of welcome distraction for both of us. Chapter Six steps aside, briefly, from the Cretins tour schedule for some philosophical musings on the road life and the penurious state of Ink&#8217;s affairs at home in the Dook City. I hope you enjoy and please, don&#8217;t just look at the damn Contact page (I can actually tell when you&#8217;ve been looking!) and use the damn thing to tell me that I am delusional and should hang up this misguided project forthwith. Or otherwise. I await with...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[‘History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.’ &#8211; James Joyce, Ulysses, 1922 ‘My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.’ &#8211; D. Drumpf, New York Times, 1/8/26 The mind doth well and truly boggle, Gentle Reader(s). Every time I begin to imagine that perhaps I’m beginning to get some sort of a handle on the extent of the corruption (moral and otherwise) and criminality that is the core ethos of GoblinReich 2.0 I am reminded anew of the folly of my presumption. Each and every passing day finds the vile regime exploring exciting and innovative techniques with which to plumb new depths of depravity, venality and cynicism—in the immortal words of William S. Burroughs, ‘A new standard by which to judge infamy.’ In addition to my own blabbery I’ve been cherry-picking some choice observations from those who know...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A New Year. A new beginning. A moment for reflection, a moment for change, a moment for—dare I say it?—optimism? Optimism—imagine that! A commodity in dangerously short supply in cynical times such as these in which we live. Be that as it may, DJ Inky returned to the Matador to kick off 2026 and—Praise Be On Most High—beloved Katia has returned as well! If that ain&#8217;t a good thang then I don&#8217;t know what is. In this inaugural 2026 playlist a belated farewell is paid to Taos resident Joe Ely and to Raul Malo of that great lil&#8217; band out of Miami, the Mavericks. I got turned onto Joe Ely back in the early ‘80s largely because of his association with the Clash. I can’t remember the particulars other than I was intrigued that Joe Strummer and the boys felt that an acoustic guitar strumming singer/songwriter from down Amarillo way...]]></description>
