sharon jones has a story angle -- the rikers island cop turned soul diva thing -- that npr-types love. that definitely accounts for some of their higher profile, right? but i'm curious -- you put sharon in front of a crowd like you describe in Maryland ... and they wouldn't go over well? they sort of strike me as a band that would go over well *anywhere*.

these kind of discussions always strike me as a way of avoiding having to handle the more difficult task of evaluating an artists work honestly & critically ...

It would be very sad if this kind of thing fuels a backlash against her. But it's not unlikely.

I hope this means they tour again. Best live show I've ever seen.

So should I splurge for NYE tickets since we have nothing else to do other than a couple of parties where we won't know anyone?

Fuck it, I did it.
Man, motherfuck a "processing fee" though. The tickets wound up about 20% more expensive than advertised. I'm writing to Obama about this.

Um, they weren't on the bill. I think you're thinking of the Marva Whitney show at the Bell House.
But Allen Toussaint was amazing.

The Dap-Kings are such a great, great band. They did "Get Out My Life Woman" with him and it really sounded like his original recording.

o fuck right, wrong show. tous is always an amazing time though; i think i've been at something like fourteen live perfs with him and he's always a mindboggler.

Just realized that my wedding photographer/shortlived former bassist in my band did the cover photo for I Learned the Hard Way. [ /brag ]
