Oh man you guys, I was on a 6-week Canadian tour and directly after that went to New Orleans for 10 days, and returned from all that with about 98 records. I straight murderlized this one shop in New Orleans with the 3-dollar bins. Records and alcohol are cheap in the states!

 

Not that I've listened to them all yet but my favorite so far is the Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings one. I saw them at the New Orleans Jazz Fest too! Also saw the original Meters, their first club gig in over 30 years and their last club gig ever. Also saw Budos Band, the New Mastersounds, Herbie Hancock, Mystikal (haha, but actually he was awesome), and a bunch of crazy bayou swamp funk with accordions and shit. I win for this week I think.

it was the New Orleans Jazz Festival, so there was music there from 11 - 7, but then the city keeps going til about 6 am with shows and debauchery. And most of the venues are in walking distance from where we were staying, in the French Quarter. AND! In New Orleans you can get a drink in a bar, and then take it out of the bar and walk around. Everyone's walking around with drinks on the street.

 

a couple of the records I got down there are Sly & the Family albums. They are really great. Does it seem to anyone else that Sly doesn't get quite the recognition he deserves? He's like a proto-Prince.
