Wolff at Wolf

Mixing has begun on the new records. I'm really excited. Played last night opening for The Rebirth Brass Band. It went okay. Might not seem like it cause of the tuba thing but that's not necessarily my crowd. Mostly tourists looking for the authentic New Orleans experience and I don't exactly fit that bill. I had a few people in to it though. It sounded good on the big soundsystem. Wolff at Wolf. Got a show at Mimi's on Monday which should be relaxed and fun but I'm a little worried at getting the sound right as it'll be me and a couple amps. New Orleans is definitely working that Baghdad vibe. The only police presence I've seen in the Ninth Ward has been military. At least I've seen some of that though. Last visit I don't think I saw anything the entire time I was here. The summer has been really tough on everyone here. Things have been really dead. Everybody's hoping the break from oppressively hot to just reasonably hot brings a little more action but I can tell that there's a lot of worry that business won't really pick up significantly. I gotta go meet Goat at the studio to do some mixing. More later...

It's finally happened

It's finally happened. I now officially have a website of my own. Keep in mind it's still a work in progress. I'm workin' on a couple new albums these days as well which I'm going to mix in New Orleans at the end of the month with my good friend Goat. Pretty soon I'll pretty much owe Goat everything I earn for the next decade in compensation for being so cool about helping me out. Thank God he's as insane as I am. I'm a little apprehensive about heading to Nola on this trip. It's been depressing me a bit lately especially as I've gotten a lot of mugging stories about the kind of people who would not normally be mugged. I really feel like the country has let New Orleans down and that rebuilding efforts are not what they claim to be. No way Bush gives a shit whether New Orleans returns to the way it used to be. From where he stands it's probably best not to really bother repairing the levies properly. Anyway, I didn't really want to take this first blog as a moment to rant but it was just the two year anniversary of Katrina. More to come soon...
