Odelay, Beck, 1996. Did you know that the title, Odelay, is a phonetic rendering of the Mexican slang interjection "Ăłrale", which translates roughly to "listen up" or "what's up?"

Funky Meets Cool at Insomnia's First Art Show in New Eastwood Digs
Local art gallery, toy store and music shop Insomnia Gallery held its first art show in its new east side digs on Friday, July 14. More than thirty artists reinterpreted either classic album art or their favorite album art work for "The Album Art Show." Insomnia's been around since 2011 and this is the third home for this six year old funky and cool shop. It's also the newest hot spot in the popular Telephone Road shopping center, Tlaquepaque Market at Eastwood, which is also home to Bohemeo's, Kanomwan, Chocolate Wasted Ice Cream and other interesting spots.
