/|\(;,;)/|\ I am a vinyl-collecting music fanatic, and I use this blog to post music and commentary (plus the occasional non sequitur outburst). I take requests, I'm happy to answer any questions, and I'd appreciate any of your own recommendations. (I'm not some kinda hipster who claims to have heard EVERYTHING, y'know?) That being said, I hope you find something here that does it for you. Keep on rockin' in the free world, folks.

When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and George Bush was too busy not giving a shit, the rising waters did a lot of damage to the Preservation Hall, the venue for a great many local Dixieland Jazz musicians who collectively tour as the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. To restore their home to something resembling its former glory, the band put out a benefit album in 2010 with artists like Dr. John, Merle Haggard, Ani Difranco, Louis Armstrong, Steve Earle, Pete Seeger, and, oh yeah, Tom Waits. Take a wild fucking guess which track I chose to play for you.
