MM&BRH #23! Belated (tis the season…) playlist from last Sunday, in which Timothy Robertson, David Brouillette, Jamie Vessels and I wax lyrical about Checkpoint Charlie’s ad nauseum (have you seen Randy Mack’s movie “Laundry Day” yet??), they introduce me to a bunch of amazing and/or hilarious music and a dog named Kora, we eat beef jerky, Peter shows up, etc.
Tune in tonight folks, we’re reminiscing fondly about the Ooh Poo Pah Doo Bar and discussing plans for the future at a different location. I’ll be joined in the studio by some combination of fellow WHIV deejay Martha Alguera and her beautiful kiddo Lola, Big Chief Alfred Doucette, Michael Connor, Nooie Man, Reynard Green, and any other bar regulars that may or may not show up (holler at us if you’re in Mid-City and you have some bar stories you want to share ) Expect tunes from James Andrews, Jessie Hill, Fantasia, Ernie K-Doe, Prince, Allen Toussaint, TUCKA, and spotify’s most lackluster karoake version of “La Bamba”.
One of my favorite artists of all time, Aurora Nealand, orchestrates a full ensemble for her solo project. Got to catch the above show at the Marigny Opera House.
