Treme Wrap-Up: The Storm, The Storm, The Storm

[SPOILER ALERT] Last year, I asked Wendell Pierce if Antoine’s financial and musical instability were functions of Katrina, his musical limitations or himself. He couldn’t answer because he hadn’t seen scripts yet that would clarify that issue, and I doubt he’s seen them this season either. One thing’s clear, though—the issues he faces have less [...]

Treme: Bulldogs and Napkin Ladies

I may have made my dramatic television debut this weekend as “Guy on the Right” during Susan Cowsill‘s scene on this week’s episode of Treme. I qualify this not because I’m not sure I was there—I was, standing at the front of the stage in front of Sam Craft—but because I’m out of the country [...]

SXSW Day 1: Crowded in the Graveyard

The first sign that things have gone wrong – the goodie bag. For years, registrants at South by Southwest would be given a bag with art done by a musician – Jon Langford, Wayne Coyne, Thurston Moore (I think), and so on – filled with magazines, CDs by bands and countries that want attention, flyers, [...]

The Gravy: In the Kitchen with Susan Cowsill

“My mom and dad both came from Cranston, Rhode Island, outside of Providence. Lots of Italian, Portuguese and Irish Catholic, which is what we are. The meat loafs and the stews and the roasts, that’s all Irish. Anything you can put a potato in. The roast was always smaller than all the potatoes. My mom [...]

Euclid Records Shop Grand Opening September 4 and 5

Vinyl fans rejoice! Brand new Bywater music shop Euclid Records opened its doors for their first day of business yesterday, offering up thousands of used and new LPS, 45s, CDs (they still make those?) and other musical goodies. Rumors from the inaugural day (via Facebook) are that guitarist/singer King Louie bought a Billy Preston record [...]

Notes from a Boogalooer

Notes from da Boogaloo…. Went to Bayou Boogaloo on Saturday, and I really loved it. The setting is really nice, on the grass right next to Bayou St. John. I even saw people wading in the bayou, which was apropos because it was so freakin’ hot. As the afternoon wore on, though, clouds obscured the [...]
