On December 10, 2016, the Afghan Whigs put on a benefit show for their guitarist, Dave Rosser, who has inoperable colon cancer. All the proceeds of the show, and two more shows in Los Angeles, will go to help fund Mr. Rosser’s medical expenses. For the show, The Afghan Whigs were playing their 1996 album, Black Love, in its entirety. Considering that this is my favorite album by them and the great cause that was going along with it, it was a show I could not miss. The next weekend, The Jesus and Mary Chain played in New Orleans. Finally, got to check them off my bucket list.

I’m trying something new: podcasting. A podcast is basically an audio blog for our readers who don’t ever listen to them. This one is about an album and a band that changed my life. Also, you can definitely hear my cajun accent on this especially on the word “connection.” Hopefully,…
In a short podcast about music, I talk about Brian Wilson’s concert recently at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans. I also discuss how I completely changed my mind on EDM. I will be back next week with my thoughts on Radiohead’s show, and then the music podcast will take a…
