[ I just produced "Shout Out to New Orleans," an episode of Afropop Worldwide that uplinks this Thursday, in which Georges Collinet talks to special guest deejay T.R. Johnson from WWOZ.
The music is particularly strong, from, among others, Dr. John (his new album "The City That Care Forgot" is tremendous), Big Sam's Funky Nation, Dumpstaphunk, Donald Harrison Jr., Dr. Michael White, Terence Blanchard, and there's a killer track from a forthcoming album by Brother Tyrone.
If APWW is on your local public radio station, it will probably be the episode on air this week (it's at a different time on every station, so i don't know exactly when.) At some point, the program will be available for streaming on www.afropop.org, but that lags a few weeks behind. (There is a podcast, but the podcast is only a few minutes long and doesn't include most of the music for legal reasons.)
In New York City, APWW is on six nights a week at 11 p.m. on 91.5 FM. Five of these nights are reruns, but the music doesn't age. ]

Sounds great to me.
This week I'm volunteering and seeing shows at The Fringe.
I think the trend artistically is to be against oppression in dystopia's with no name, or humanity in general.
What a coincidence. I justed posted an article called "A Storm's a' Comin'" about storms, serendipitous moments, and life in New Orleans in August. I hit "Next" to take a break and read someone else's blog, and yours came up. Nicely done. And I see that you are a fan of juicy stormy weather.
OK, back to work...
Hey, Albino Bowler -- I hope you get to hear this show, and local T.R. Johnson, who is the 'guide,' so to speak.
So you're off to Oz soon?
Love, C.
