W.eird W.eekend O.utside Z.er
After Katrina, WWOZ moved from the wackly-land of Armstrong Park to goofyball-land of the French Quarter. This weekend's weirdness outside our studio began at 8am this morning with the running of the bulls. A 1,000 runners in white and red chased by the motorized Elvii and the Big Easy Roller Girls swatting us with whiffle bats and mean attitudes. I got two swats. In exchange, the girls get the first couple songs tonight - Wooly Bully!
It was only last week that Essence Festival filled the streets of the Quarter with visions of smart fashion. This week the annual Swinger Convention fills the streets with a look that is, well, unique yet blends into the Quarter. It was just a couple seasons ago that the annual Pyrate Convention was here with hundreds of pirates and wenches filling the streets and bars. Pre-Katrina Quarter-ites still laugh at the time that the huge Southern Baptist Convention was booked the same Labor Day Weekend as the equally huge Southern Decadence Festival. The street exposure from the Southern Decadence seemed to overwhelm the Southern Baptists and since then Labor Day remains reserved for Decadence folks. Next set of love bandit music is for the Swinger Convention - a more heterosexual version of Southern Decadence. I wonder if the Swinger folks were flipped out by running of the bulls?
There is this song by Stormy Gayle, "Flipsville" that initially seems like a novelty song with the novelty song's inherent, play-twice, laugh-and-discard-as-the-novelty-fades. Stormy's song breaks out of the novelty trap and gets better with repeated plays. It is so good that it will lead off a set of music about hipness and flipness (including Lord Buckley).
Between and around these musical sets are the usual sets of music about Hadacol, Alaska and its wascally wabbit Governor, Vampira and Elvira, alien invasions (tonight an alligator from outer space), dance songs, and non-sense syllables songs.
Another sonically screwy Saturday night in the French Quarter.

It's a beautiful moon over the Quarter tonight. Appropriate for the looniness in the Quarter.

Sam The Sham and the Pharoahs
Wooly Bully
First set of music inspired by the New Orleans version of the San Fermin, Spain running of the bulls. Same idea but with less machismo.

Little Sammy Yates
Comic Book Crazy
Selection inspired by the AMC showing of this goofy movie the other night. As a kid I thought Eric Von Zipper was an actual person. Just as I thought there were Marvel Comics mutants out there beyond the fence at my elementary school. ... And you never really can tell?
