Oh, today feels like a Nina Simone kind of day. I ain't got no job, but I do have my hair on my head.

Al Johnson – Carnival Time / Mardi Gras Strut Compilation*
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axNmY5nnmjA
Now that the Superbowl is over, and Ray Lewis is redeemed, we can get back to focusing on what's really important in NOLA ----> Carnival Time.
If you have any interest at all in the traditions and roots of Carnival and Mardi Gras in NOLA I highly recommend All On A Mardi Gras Day. Seriously, it's so much fun, y'all just don't know what you're missing.
*there are few acceptable live recordings of Al Johnson Singing Carnival Time on youtube so you'll just have to deal.
Marilyn Monroe – Happy BIrthy (Mr. President)
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqolSvoWNck
It's my birthday, and well, yeah, this is the song I choose.
On a different note, I've been known to do a wicked impression of this, but I'd never actually seen this clip. Talk about a bygone era.
Alan Sparhwk – Hatchet
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CByWgoH2BEc
Listening to Alan Sparhawk makes me miss Duluth terribly, but this track is great for the WGOM Beatles / Stones history. Also, it's awesome when they get kicked out of the school.
Butthole Surfers – Sweat Loaf
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dorrqt8RU8M
Where would I be without the Butthole Surfers? Probably successful, but what a ride.
Deerhoof – Freshborn
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QscSFKeyQfY
Paging E-6. Love em, or hate em, today's video is Deerhoof. Applause not necessary.
[edit] suck it, pitchfork.
Pussy Galore – Pig Sweat
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbyotKurvkw
John Spencer, before the blues exploded.
Live from Germany, 1987.
Laurie Anderson – Only An Expert
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yVBRDNnt1o
I saw Laurie Anderson three years ago at the Kimo Theater in Albuquerque, NM. She puts on one hell of a show. Here she is with WGOM favorite Colin Stetson on Dave.
Sam Cooke – Twistin’ The Night Away
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yIMt-aZjCo
There aren't a whole lot of live performance videos of Sam hanging out, but this one is pretty great and seems to be an appropriate 100th post for me.
John Fullbright – Satan & Saint Paul
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5teMqHsThI
This dude and Woddy Guthrie were both born in the same town. His debut album, From The Ground Up, is getting a lot of high praise.
