Birdman's Big BetNOLA's favorite hip-hop impressario is one y'at who appears to have gotten over the Saints' sorry ending. Instead of sinking into a barstool, and complaining about Greg Williams, Birdman is looking forward to the SuperBowl... and putting his money, five million dollars of it, where his mouth his. Paul Sanchez Got Drunk This ChristmasSinger/Songwriter Paul Sanchez has tasted fame for his musical adaptation of Dan Baum's "Nine Lives," plus his earlier work as cofounder and lead guitarist of Cowboy Mouth. But, all that success does not mean that he's abandoned his roots; to the contrary, Sanchez just penned a "New Orleans Christmas song," and released a free preview for a limited time. The track, "I got Drunk on Christmas" after the jump. Today's Events: 8.23.11August 23, when Italian shoemakers Sacco and Vanzetti were executed for Anarchism (1927), when Cesar Chavez began the Salad Bowl Strike, the nation’s largest worker farm worker strike (1970), when Germany announced its decision to unite on October 3rd (1990), when Gene Kelly (1912), Shelley Long (1949), Rick Springfield (1949) and Kobe Bryant (1978) were born, and when Luis Ponce de Leon died (1591). Today's Events: August 14Today in 1885, Japan issued her first patent... for rust proof paint. In 1908, the first beauty pagaent was held in Folkestone, England, and in 1935, Social security was inventing. (They're still fine-tuning that one.) Today is also the birthday of the American Football League, and Steve Martin. So, if the weekend wasn't enough for you, get out, get busy with these events. Hurray For the Riff RaffAudio Filé: A Celebrity Playlist SeriesHola Nola, and hola Hurray for the Riff Raff’s Alynda Lee Segarra. Still riding high after opening for Ani Difranco last week at the House of Blues, and about to embark on a ten day European tour, this country/rock/honky tonk assembly is (grass)rooted in NOLA atop two self-released albums- 2008's It Don't Mean I Don't Love You and 2010's Young Blood Blues. Washboard ChazAudio Filé: Alt-Fest Favorite's Celebrity Music PlaylistHola Nola- and hola Charles Leary, aka Washboard Chaz. The frequent whistler whose washboard has many bells serves as the likeness and inspiration for a Bywater festival set for tomorrow. Anamanaguchi's PlaylistBy Ary Warnaar Hola Nola- and hola video game instrumentors Anamanaguchi. Peter Berkman, James DeVito, Ary Warnaar, and Luke Silas make ‘chiptune punk’, music created from outdated technological consoles, from computers to gameboys- and it’s as raw as digital gets. Rebirth, of New OrleansYou Can Do More Than Buckjump to Brass Band Stalwart's New CDCDs and brass bands are like file and okra. In an ideal world, they would never have to mix. But, as any French Quarter tourist lunch joint can tell you, sometimes the packaging has to be a little disingenuous to reach a wider audience. The Hood InternetHola Nola: A Celebrity Mixtape Series- Vol VIHola Nola- and Hola Chi-town mashup duo ‘Steve Sleeve’ Reidell Aaron Brink, aka The Hood Internet. With close to 200 remixes to their name, the pair have established a name for themselves. |
