[ the afropop worldwide episode i produced, "shout out to
new orleans," withguest WWOZ DJ t.r. johnson, is up and streaming at http://www.afropop.org/radio/radio_program/ID/715/Afropop%20Worldwides%20Shout%20Out%20to%20New%20Orleans
all the music in the show is post-flood, so it's a pretty intense
hour. and definitely check out the number by brother tyrone.

the interview + songs i did on laura flanders GRITtv is at http://lauraflanders.firedoglake.com/2008/08/20/the-world-that-made-new-orleans-an-interview-with-ned-sublette/
i haven't watched it -- i don't like watching myself on TV -- but i think i
spoke in complete sentences and sang about as well as i ever do. (i did
"kiss you down south" and laura's request, "cowboys are
frequentlysecretly.") this was part of a whole week of new
orleans-themedprogramming, all available on the site on demand. it's worth
poking around in. if you haven't checked out GRITtv, bookmark it and check
in, because laura flanders does great work with a great team. their new
show, up today,includes a segment about matthew gossage and lily keber's
documentary, "t don hutto, america's family prison
"http://lauraflanders.firedoglake.com/2008/08/22/got-docs-americas-family-prison/
