Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from October 29, 2015 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

What always struck me about Dr John, was how he pretty much is the only one who pulled that new orleans/voodoo thing to the max. One would expect there was atleast 10 or 20 other groups out there that would do something similar and pull it of pretty well, but i really havent found any good contestors.

Fun fact and side note: in L.A. Rebennack was also involved in one of the greatest pop records of them all, the Cake's "Baby That's Me." It's a girl group side that shares little with the New Orleans/voodoo thing, but it is nonetheless swirling and psychedelic in its own way. www.youtube.com...

from the foreword of Confederacy of Dunces: "There is a New Orleans city accent . . . associated with downtown New Orleans, particularly with the German and Irish Third Ward, that is hard to distinguish from the accent of Hoboken, Jersey City, and Astoria, Long Island, where the Al Smith inflection, extinct in Manhattan, has taken refuge. The reason, as you might expect, is that the same stocks that brought the accent to Manhattan imposed it on New Orleans."

What would you guys say is the meanes sounding Dr John gets? For me, there is something about his take on How Come My Dog Don't Bark (When You Come 'Round). That last verse is pretty intense... I guess its got to to with the contrast in the lyrics and the backing track or something...

I agree, to a certain extent. I don't love Auerbach, and wish he toned down some stuff, but he still got together the most Night Trippin record since the original days. And Dr. John brings his most bloodsoaked street fightin' lyrics
Avatar 8:10pm
Flash Strap:

still, it's too in the pocket, groove oriented. Gris Gris sounds like it's gonna fall apart, and that's its strength. how could he not get that? But then again, what did Dr. John want out of this particular collab? I don't know

It's better than the other Night Tripper resurrection, 1998's Anutha Zone, with Jay Spaceman and Portishead, etc.

its a bit like Anutha Zone, where he was working with Jason Pierce and Supergrass, wich also is a pretty good album, but im guessing its to reach out to new crowds.
