What We're Listening To

Hey y'all,

Sorry I've been M.I.A. for awhile with the posts. Christmas, New Year's, start of a new semester (yes, still a student), the Saints taking up every ounce of my conscious state... But now, with two weeks left to go to the Super Bowl, thought I'd take a minute and let you know what we've been listening to in the NOIR world lately.

LOCAL

The Revivalists doing their funky thing at the Howlin' Wolf.



What with Conan O'Brien ending his term at The Tonight Show, we thought back to this great video of Theresa Andersson doing her amazing one-woman soul-folk act on his show back in February.



Awesome video of Why Are We Building Such a Big Ship doing their stomp-the-yard thing at Voodoo back in '08.



Non-Local

Great new video from the Chicago band, Filligar, one of my favorite up-and-coming bands in the country right now. The song is off their album Succession, I Guess. We hope to get these guys down to New Orleans sometime in 2010.



The Raleigh, NC band Bowerbirds do a beautiful version of their song "Northern Lights".



Trippy-as-all-hell video from Animal Collective for their unbelievable song "Brother Sport." Could be made by no one else.
