The soundtrack for the second season of the HBO series Treme is on sale at Amazon right now for $6.99. While the show itself depressed the hell out of me (I’ve only watched the first season so far), the music is incredible and worth the price. Grab a beignet and a coffee (or a long neck, it’s 11am somewhere after all) and enjoy La Danse De Mardi Gras from Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys:
Great old school soul and funk from down under….
Sydney soul/funk outfit DOJO CUTS return with a super soulful second album entitled “Take From Me”, once again featuring the sizzling, smoky vocals of Miss Roxie Ray. This much anticipated follow-up to their debut full-length sees the band taking it back to the roots of soul, but at the same time giving a nod to contemporary funk. With the liner notes written by Russ Dewbury (A Night At The Jazz Rooms) and the support of the entire Daptone Records family aka Gabriel Roth, Neal Sugarman and Homer Steinwess, this Aussie outfit prepares for what is without a doubt a significant step forward in the band’s musical journey.
After an incredible night of 1st round NHL playoff games I’m in dire need of some soothing and calming music and video before I jump back into the breach tonight. Earth porn and new age music? Thanks NASA hipsters!
A dedication to the fine officer who pulled me over this morning on the way to work (doing 35 in a 30). I was let go with a warning, but not before I eyed a tractor unloading on the side of the road about a 100 yards in front of me leaving a perfect getaway ramp a la Dukes of Hazzard.
Actionsuit Alert!
