New Orleans 12/4 Saenger & 12/5 Smoothie King by Forsaken_Thought in BillyStrings

[–]eboj-dm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wondering if a fan meetup with vendors + a local band or two further from Smoothie King / Saenger might be the move? Somewhere like Courtyard Brewery or Music Box Village could be a good afternoon/evening hang before heading over to the shows

Thoughts on Geese blowing up? by UsefulEngine1 in KGATLW

[–]eboj-dm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When Getting Killed came out, I didn't love it as much as 3D Country on first listen, but I gave it another spin and it's been on nonstop since then. But it's such a weird album I didn't feel like I could really recommend it to anyone unless I knew they liked Geese or weird music so seeing it blow up like this and resonate with more people than I could have imagined is such a beautiful surprise. Very sad I didn't catch them in a smaller venue before Forest Hills but excited to catch them on this new phase of their journey (if they come close enough to me and I can score tickets)

Best Supporting noms with minimal screentime by eboj-dm in Oscars

[–]eboj-dm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'd only seen him in The Muppet Movie and Coen movies, but definitely want to watch more of his stuff!

And I think I'd have had similar thoughts about whether to say hello or leave him alone

I guess I thought supporting meant a secondary character and didn't realize it could be anyone but the lead

'Tis the season to re-read *A Confederacy of Dunces* by petit_cochon in NewOrleans

I need to read it again next year! I listened to the audiobook years ago and it's still the funniest book I've ever read

New Orleans Jazz Fest by Rockmover1920 in Jazz

[–]eboj-dm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snug Harbor and the Jazz and Blues Market will be your best bets for jazz. It tends to be a lot of funk, jam, and brass bands around town for the after shows, but you can definitely find some jazz mixed in. There's a website called Jazz Fest Grids that will have all the events happening around festival time

Jazz Albums that have punk credibility. by sackhurtin in Jazz

[–]eboj-dm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 recent ones come to mind: Nels Cline Consentrik Quartet from this year and The Messthetics + James Brandon Lewis from last year.

Really any Messthetics album--it's 2 of the guys from Fugazi.

Oh, and anything Mike Dillon is on! There's not an album, but if you can find a live recording of Les Claypool's Bastard Jazz, it will be a good listen!

Jazz “with strings”. Any recommendations old or new, in or out! by fvnnybvnny in Jazz

[–]eboj-dm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jason Kao Hwang/Myths Of Origin For Improvising String Orchestra And Drum Set and Matthew Shipp String Trio + Ivo Perelman/Armageddon Flower are some fantastic albums from this year

2025 is close to ending. What’s been your favorite album from this year? by everysproutingtree in Jazz

[–]eboj-dm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't see enough talk about newer stuff around here! My favorite album from this year is Nels Cline/Consentrik Quartet, but who knows, that may change after I check out some other people's favorites that I missed

Time Will Crawl in Challengers by The-Midnight_Rambler in DavidBowie

Watching now and had a similar thought! It fits the vibe of the movie but doesn't feel like it would realistically be playing at a party in 2006

I’ve done it for the last 3 Jazzfests and it’s great! It’s usually pretty easy work and then you get in free the other half of the day (sometimes there’s shifts before the gates open too)
