@Uncle Michael
There simply is no authentic two-syllable pronunciation. You only here it in certain songs where the lyricist needed an easy rhyme. My mother-in-law is a fine daughter of New Or-lee-uns, and so I come by my pronunciation honestly.

@Parq
It all depends on what you baited it with.

Sorry, Doug. I've heard "Nawlins" countless times in the Big Easy. Just because your mother's people don't employ that linguistic variant, it's no evidence that it doesn't exist. I'm afraid we part company on this point.

@Doug & Uncle Micaheal:
Back in the late 1980's, a friend from St. Louis moved to New Orleans to work and learn in the kitchens of restaurants. After being there for a month or two, she reported a 2 syllable "Nawlins" and at least two 4 syllable "New Or-lee-uns" pronunciations, one with the accent on the last syllable, and others with it on other syllables. She said the 3 syllable ones are used by tourists.

Well that was fun. Managed to dig up Indestructible Beat, along with some other dusty, forgotten comps, including the insanely great Guitar Paradise of East Africa.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:12am Doug Schulkind:

Here it is:

4 leeks, white and light green parts only
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup cream
salt to taste
4 pieces bacon
olive oil
4 ounces fresh goat cheese

Clean the leeks by slicing them lengthwise and running them under water until all the layers are clean. Roughly chop into 1 inch pieces. In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the leeks, and cook over medium heat until they start to soften. Add the wine, and cook until absorbed. Add the cream, and cook until absorbed. Salt to taste and remove from heat. Meanwhile, chop the bacon into bite sized pieces and fry until cooked but not too crisp (it cooks further in the oven). Brush each pizza crust with olive oil. Arrange the leeks, the cooked bacon, and crumbled goat cheese over the top of each pizza. Bake at 500 degrees 15 minutes

Ogun is the Orisha of Fire and Iron and electricity and technology.

Frippe was the nick name of saxophonist Bengt Nordström who was the leader of Miljövårdsverket. He played with Albert Ayler in the early 60s while Ayler was living in Sweden.

Boozoo! I should have bought a Boozoo Barbeque apron when I saw him in concert years ago. At least I bought a nice T-Shirt. What was great was that right after the first song, a young women ran around and in a matter of seconds convinced a lot of people to dance the rest of the night.

Wow, after Joe's show yesterday, *more* polka!

Better to dance than to purchase, Alex.

Never enough polka, Parq-a

I guess that could be a Eugene joke though. I don't get it.

Shit. I cued up the wrong track. Thanks for pointing out my worst nightmare, dc pat!
Avatar 🥁 11:01am βrian:

I love polka until the third track. Then it's unsettling, and afterward downright maddening. Auditory Absinthe, I guess.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Actually, I just mislabled the MP3 I ripped from the CD I burned from the vinyl. Shoulda just played the damn vinyl.

  11:22am Dean:

Arhoolie, the fruits of another great record store, one which happens to be in my neighborhood in the Bay Area. Down Home Records, like DMG, is also a wonderful joint for hanging out on do-nothing afternoons. I'll defer to Jeff G. re: directions to DMG, which I visited in January. It is not too far from a couple stops, but it's in Chinatown, downstairs. Bruce and Manny have had, I think, three sites. The shop is deceptively tiny. And they feature live shows most Sundays.
Avatar 🥁 11:23am βrian:

The Germans had a big influence on Mexican music (and beer). But wow. A beautiful divergence.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:24am Doug Schulkind:

Dean, I had one of the greatest burritos ever in El Cerrito. My sister took me there. It was mostly a carryout place that was, I think, Peruvian. Now closed, sadly.
Avatar 11:27am ndbob:

I remember ordering lots of records from Down Home in the pre-Internet days
Avatar 11:27am Carmichael:

I want to 2nd LJfW's remark about Amanda's evening show. Just by a fluke, I was in the garage/mancave last eve, and she surprised me with being there at first, then playing a cracklin' set of stuff.

Ecchh ... took a Benadryl to quell allergies and it knocked me on my ass. Just got out of bed, again. Will catch the last ½ hour here & review the rest of this fine show from the archives. Now I know what to take when I fly to Australia.
  11:27am Dean:

Doug, There is an acclaimed joint in El Cerrito, aptly dubbed Best Burritos, that doesn't do too badly. The owner is a fully trained Korean chef, though. For my money, though, you can't beat Molcasalsa on Beach Blvd. 450 miles south in La Habra. Probably can't make it there during a lunch hour, though.

I've almost moved to the Bay Area twice. Mostly for the burritos. (My sister's cabin in Big Sur is another draw.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:30am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
!
  11:32am Dean:

Doug, Funny you mention Big Sur. I took the family to La Habra last week (and yes, we did visit Molcasalsa), and I considered returning via Big Sur, but I chickened out. In tribute, last night I played Charles Lloyd's Notes from Big Sur. But again, for burritos aim south to Los Angeles. There is, however, awesome Mexican fare nearby in Concord (once home of the eponymous record label, as long as we're making those connections!).
Avatar 11:34am Carmichael:

Dean, I've been to Down Home, if that's the place on San Pablo Ave. Cool place.
  11:35am Dean:

Carmichael, Yep, that's it. Hella fun, as we say in these parts.

There's a local Thai cart that sells burrito-sized spring rolls. Big and tasty but not overwhelming. (Mostly lettuce, after all.)

There's a bit of uplift in this Johnny Moore track, but don't get sucked in. It's only the calm before the quiet storm. Last three tracks will rip your heart out and make you eat it. (Forget what I said about blowing your head off.)
Avatar 🥁 11:48am βrian:

I'm going to suggest to the local felafel cart that they add kim chee as an option. Our burrito options are limited.

Looks like I'm going to miss the Michael From Uncle show today. Being siphoned off to a meeting ...

@βrian
Siphoned? Sounds painful.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:52am Alex In Illinois:

Kim Chee is a good thing to get when going out or buying from a vendor as opposed to preparing at home, because after preparing it at home, the smell that stays is not the most aromatic.

How does that Tom Waits lyric go?" "Stinks like Hell and the neighbors complain, I don't give a hoot what they say!" But that is for a different recipe.
Avatar 11:53am northguineahills:
