Episode 58: WORLD PREMIERE(s)!!
We WORLD PREMIEREd brand new original acoustic live ditties and brand new freshly recorded album tracks. We reprised the WORLD PREMIERE of Musicians, Mentors, and Barroom Heroes by having Marc “Pepe Peligroso” Paradis back on the air. (On the civilian side of the air, that is–he is also a DJ at WHIV.) I think I am capitalizing WORLD PREMIERE to evoke the PHYSICAL CHALLENGE of Rory Danger, who we also spun. What fun!!
Episode 56: 15,000 Seconds of Live Radio
http://www.offbeat.com/news/video-washboard-lissa-nervous-duane/
This came up in my facebook memories <3. Anyways, special extended edition last Thursday as we were covering for Steve Williams’ show 9-11pm as well. Thank you to all you new friends and old ones for tuning in, tuning up, hanging out, etc., many thanks to Sharappa for all these videos and Natasha for the photons! The GoFundMe page to produce a live Musicians, Mentors, and Barroom Heroes album from the last season can be found here at gofundme.com/mmbrh ; please consider chipping in! (Or sharing with your social mediaites.) Half the proceeds will go to WHIV 102.3 FM New Orleans, the other half to the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic in honor of Washboard Lissa.
Episode 55: Hair in the Chair (+ help fund the CD!!)
Almost halfway to fundraising goal, and playlist from last Thursday’s show! Thanks to all the musicians and lurkers who hung out, and to my Annie and Dan (my aunt & uncle in from Massachusetts!) for hangin’ with all us crazies 🙂
If you like what you hear, please considering chipping in to help make our live album! All proceeds go to good causes: 50% to WHIV 102.3 FM, and 50% to the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic! Big thanks to all who have chipped in so far; every little bit helps!
Visit the GoFundMe link here to support the Musicians’ Clinic, badass community radio, and New Orleans music!
Episode 52 (S2): My Last Brain Cell is Called Custer
Fun 4-hr episode with a slew of familiar faces/guitars/etc back in the studio! The unofficial theme was, “Eh, fuck it,” but of course the actual theme was “?”.
Big thanks to Lili and Natasha for taking these pics! And this playlist is probably only 90% accurate (and maybe 60% in the correct order) because my brain spontaneously shut off approximately 75% of the way through the show. (Being away from New Orleans for a few months made me revert back to my natural state of being a perversely-early bird, plus the uptick in sobriety is always a jolt to the system….)
Episode 51 (S2): Mics, Open & Pizza
So wonderful to be back on-air for Season 2 during our new timeslot, 7-9pm every Thursday! Heard some words of… wisdom? from Pizza Mike and some killer original tunes from real, live locals including awesome first-time MMBRH playa’ Sean Markey, longtime favorite lurker/photographer/Buffa’s-open-mic-host extraordinaire Natasha Sanchez, and Checkpoint’s open mic host Jim Smith, who can now attend this show since it’s not on Sundays anymore! (Had a nice round-table discussion about open mics as well… tried to call Mike Darby to get his 2 cents, but apparently none of his cents had been going to his phone bill…)
Episode 50: THE LAST STRAW (Season Finale)
Oh lawd!
Finally getting the playlist and pictures up from our season finale a week ago. What a night! We ran from 8pm to almost 1:30am and had over 50 guests in the studio, and various others tuning in from near and far. There were several newcomers (including my best&most-clever frand Brady, the notorious “Whalevo Rob”, and Jim Smith of Checkpoint Charlie’s Acoustic Open Mic), a bunch of old-comers, one dog, one child, a lot of delicious food, a lot of gas station food, Hair-on-the-Air (victim: me), Amber bringing a SPOCK candle (!!!) and Patrick Cooper announcing he was going to play “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” seconds after I’d cued up that album on my laptop.
We heard tons of local tunes (mostly live, a few …un-live? dead? undead? ) in the company of an ever-charmingly-diverse crew dear friends, sworn enemies, and neighbors. Our pals at United Bakery Records came in to announce the fabulous shows they’re putting together this holiday season, and we even got a surprise visit at the very end from our illustrious leader, MarkAlain Dery! (emojis) It’s been a great year, and I’ll miss y’all like the dickens. See ya on the flip side! Semi-accurate playlist etc. below… there was a rough draft, then people started shouting requests… you know how it is.
Episode 48: The Mikes in Our Lives
Former MM&BRH guest tuning in from Nevada
Hark, such brain music and brain words gracing the airwaves last night! We heard from several of the talented folks slated to perform at this month’s Homegrown variety show, spun some brand-new tracks by Noggin (whose own Amber Mouton got her hair victimized by Stacey Kelly Styling such that Spock himself would blush to see it…), and listened to some sawweeet live tunes from Natasha Sanchez, Jeremy Joyce, and the Sabertooth Swingers. Amidst the music, we were treated to some fiery opinions about Halloween courtesy of Pizza Mike and tackled such burning questions as:
Beatles vs Stones?
Star Wars vs Star Trek?
Kirk’s Svelt Musculature vs Capt Picard’s Shiny Bald Head? (…or Voyager….I guess…)
And I ask you:Â
Chevy vs Ford?
Chevy vs Florida?
Pizza Mike, Trumpet Mike, or Money Mike? (Which Mike is *your* Mike?)
Episode 47: Tequil-over (Buffa’s After-Party, Oct)
What happens when you are physically undead from too many gigs/witless side-hustles and want to kick everyone in the kneecaps? You put on bear-cat ears, drink a stimulant, and show up at the after-party! A whale of a time! (Happy birthday to Renard Boussiere and Gloria Turrini.) Heard tunes from tons of excellent local singer-songwriters after kicking things off with Katie Sikora talking about “The Sexism Project” (journalistic exhibition she’s spearheading which runs Nov. 2, 3, and 5 at Prez Hall.) Many of the recorded tunes we “spun” last night are from the artists playing the event. (Also, past MM&BRH guest Dominique LeJeune aka DJ Dominomnom is DJing the opening night. Woo!) See playlist below!
Episode 46: The Big Ol’ Chicken-Less Fest

(It’s October 22nd, and you know what that means…it’s time for THE BIG OL’ CHICKEN-FEST!
(I completely made that up.) We’re celebrating my dad being in town with a boiled chicken/fried fish fiasco a la Darby and Brandy Roden, plus mystery *legal* reptile courtesy of Cajun cooker Red DeVecca… And (duh) New Orleans music played live from 102.3 WHIV FM studios! Plus…
