Angular art-rock trio Experimental Dental School--who perhaps play around in the same kitchen sink as Deerhoof--make music that sometimes sounds like it’s been cranked out of a meat grinder: it’s gritty, messy, but still cohesive. Their Jane Doe Loves Me album is coming out next week, and you might find the band’s Shoko Horikawa celebrating this feat with burritos.

For Horikawa, a Japan native, there was a time when burritos were a novelty. Her first experiences with them were at a fast-food joint and in a dorm room, so it wasn’t until moving to San Francisco’s Mission district that she gained an appetite for the Mexican delicacy. Now residing in Portland, Horikawa’s appreciation for burritos has grown. “Before I moved up here, I didn’t expect too much from Oregon burritos,” she says. “But I was wrong. There is this really good Mexican place called Taqueria Los Gorditos. My favorite is filled with tofu, and it's so good that I can't chit chat or do anything but enjoy the great time with my burrito.”

And, in case you are curious about translations, Horikawa’s done some sleuthing: “I found out that the word 'burrito' literally means ‘little donkey.’”
