WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[jordanscollected]

we got stopped by TSA last year because I had 8 of those croissants wrapped in tinfoil to take on the plane. La Boulangerie's Chocolate Almond Croissant was at least 3x better than the ones we tried in France.

Pastrami on Rye

Oh boy.

[Mizmazzle]

Hell of a show at the Maple Leaf. Thanks @mclaincausey for the rec.

Johnny Vidacovich, James Singleton, and Michael Polara. Never heard anyone play the bass like that before.

[Matt]

Looks amazing.

[mclaincausey]

@Mizmazzle Vidacovich is a legend in New Orleans music. Has played with the best and he mentored the great Stanton Moore of Galactic, who now own the legendary venue Tipitina’s. I didn’t see any can’t miss shows there or I’d have included that in my recs.

That is super cool @twin. I'll be that apple butter smells amazing. Looks like a good time!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@goosehd Hey I've visited that troll under the bridge! about 15 years ago. It looks a bit ....different these days.

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey Vidacovich was incredible! He played with so much feel and movement. Every touch of his drum sticks was like watching a painter create a masterpiece. Incredible. Today’s mission is to hit a few records stores and find some music on vinyl of singleton and Vidacovich. Morgan has a friend who lives here and is deep into music. He’s recommending Domino Sound and Euclid records. I stumbled into Peaches yesterday as well but wasn’t ready to buy anything. Today is record hunting day!!

Tonight we’re going to BJ’s at the Bywater to check out some Cajun music.

[mclaincausey]

Nice have fun! I for one have a viscerally negative reaction, almost an allergy, to two forms of music that come to mind: Irish folks music (sorry, anncrstors) and zydeco. I really, really wish this weren’t the case but c’est la
me.

Tipitina’s has been releasing vinyl. Be on the lookout for pressings. I could see them releasing an old James Booker album with Vidacovich on it or something like that.

[goosehd]

@mclaincausey aren't you from the zydeco region?

[mclaincausey]

@goosehd near to it, and also largely Irish. I swear I don’t hate myself

[goosehd]

@mclaincausey I thought you grew up with a gator or two as a pet...and on St. Patrick's day, everyone is Irish

From yesterday - signal dropped out for a few hours and it was too cold later to fully catch up with forum stuff.

[SKT]

Envious of your snowy landscapes fellas

[weftyarn]

Heaviest snow in years here in Munich. Airport closed, public transport out of order, perfect time to take a walk through the park, grab some mulled wine just to return to a cozy and warm home.

[SKT]

@weftyarn I know how that much snow can wreck normalcy but damn it’s beautiful!
