I was recently in New Orleans. You can read all about my adventures here, here, here, here, and here.

Enjoy!

Jay was able to find an old 311 album I’ve been looking for for quite a bit: 311, Omaha Sessions. These are some of the best songs of 311 played before they went mainstream.

Sure brings back memories of all the early concerts I used to to at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha, NE in the early 90’s.  Great stuff.

Now I’d just like to find a way to send them $10 for the album. Is anyone has any ideas of how to attempt renumeration to a band for music pulled of the Internet, let me know.

One more fantasy gone to hell.

I’ve recently come across two new (to me) bands that really rock.

One, I’m sure everyone’s already heard / about: The White Stripes.  I was listening to NPR (wdetfm.org) last night and they played “Ball and Biscuit” off the elephant album, and I was just amazed.  Very good guitar on that song…

The other is Zebrahead.  Album is Playmate of the Year.  I just pulled this down on a whim, but it’s very fun.  Kinda 311 / ska’ish. 

Nytimes.com has a review of the new Nirvana album (they must be back from the dead…)
