After a stormy and rainy night with tornado watches and warnings in effect I did venture out to the Arcade Disco about midnight and caught the end of D.J. Quickie Marts set and also caught the Gypsyphonic Disko with Ben Ellman of Galcactic.

Walked back to camp 1 at 2:00 a.m. in the rain to get ready for Friday.

Magazine entitled Cosmo-taliban

The Taliban represent a brutal, primitive and uncivilized culture from the other side of the globe but their goofy ideas about women are also well represented in Americana roots music. This Saturday night, we'll play great music despoiled by lyrics that make even throwbacks cringe. To make it a challenge, we'll avoid the treasure trove of country music's large catalog of regressive lyrics.

On Wednesday May 13 and May 20, the Radio Wave Scientists on Jazz Lunatique will celebrate 16 (YES, THAT'S RIGHT!) years on the air in New Orleans on WWOZ FM New Orleans proud to crawl home. The exact date has been lost in the shifting sand, mold, mud, and lost brain cells of time, but sometime back in May 1993, Jazz Lunatique was born. That's 16 years of late night craziness.

O'Reilly in mid-scream meltdown
Conspiracy theorists unite! This Saturday night, we will broadcast audio and music that ties Bill O'Reilly, Dick Cheney and Ray Nagin to a common missing link. Audio snippets from Voldemort, Darth Vader, Butterfly McQueen, Paul Harvey, Marlon Brando (Kurtz), Secret Squirrel, Cleavon Little, etc. provides the evidence between the usual mix of roots music I personally looted from New Orleans homes after Katrina. Tune in for the conspiracy or to hear music you once owned. Saturday midnight to Sunday at 3am (May 9-ish) on the worst show to ever modulate the electromagnetic bandwidth of 90.7 MHz. Jamie
