1. Drive-By Truckers "Brighter Than Creation's Dark."
Another set of intense Southern story songs. These guys have never made a bad record.
2. Vampire Weekend "Vampire Weekend"
This Cd was addictive. Yeah, they're pompus, but they can write catchy tunes.
3. Girl Talk "Feed the Animals"
Girl Talk was a beast on this album. Great party record. Should come packaged with a bottle of rum.
Shows:
Santana at Jazz Fest.
Santana may be old, but my God he's a beast! The jamming!! Later on in the day, he sat on with the Nevilles and covered "Ain't No Use." My face fell off and my soul left my body.
Wilco at Tip's Night 1:
So crowded, but worth it. "Impossible Germany" "Shot in the Arm" "Jesus etc" Insanity! The show was a perfect fusion of alt-country rock jazzy goodness.
Disco Biscuits at Tip's:
At least five hours of improvised electronica. A Jazz Fest late night throwdown. Mind-blowing..Always nice to walk out of Tip's when the sun is coming up.
Papa Grows Funk at the Po-Boy Fest
The glory of the Papa wiith a big crowd and po-boys..life is beautiful sometimes.
So there are my picks...what were ya'll feeling this year and why?
