"Onwu Ama Dike"
Krewe of Eris, from The Feasts of the Appetites of Eris,
Domino Sound, 026, 2010

LISTEN


Ben Berman, in his Offbeat review of this album, describes the basics of the Krewe of Eris like this, "an annual Mardi Gras marching parade, a swarm of costumed miscreants who meet in the Bywater and meander through the Upper Ninth Ward and the French Quarter." According to Berman, on this particular run, recorded on the streets by Matt Knowles, the aggregation included over 60 people playing various horns, drums and other percussion instruments, all at varying levels of expertise, but equal in their fervent enthusiasm. And with sounds and rhythms like this, spontaneous outbreaks of dancing, if not outright acts of fornication, are bound to follow in their wake.

Matt is the proprietor of Domino Sound Record Shack, a friendly, uncompromisingly retro vinyl shop worthy of your undying support when you come to New Orleans. He released the album of selected KoE tracks on his own in-house label. When I called to ask for his permission to post "Onwu Ama Dike", he informed me that it was the only cover tune on the LP, and, as its sound and title suggest has an African origin, originally appearing on an early 1970s record by the Nigerian outfit, St. Augustine & His Rovers Dance Band. The cultural feedback loops in the Crescent City never cease to amaze me.

Thanks to Matt for the opportunity to share this recent rarity with you. Drop by the store, pick up a copy and browse da bins. There's no website (did I mention retro?); but I do think he compromised a tad and added an air conditioner for when it gets real sticky. . . .

Who is the Geekiest Dad of them all?

Uh... Hi! [points to name]

Awesome lunch pack.

I've been Netflixing Voltron, The Littles, and Fraggle Rock as fast as my year and half old can watch them. Lately I've been reading Seuss, Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, Where the Wild Things Are, and a little of Edward Gorey.

I fucking hate Chikfila

The chicken tastes like dry cow shit, which makes their advertising appropriate.

Honestly, I think the robot theme sounds pretty fun.  There might be a tie-in with binary somewhere too considering it's 01-01-11. 

Not replying just quoting.

Anybody have any ideas? I'm already bored.

This is one of my favorite bands to make love to, the whole album "Pneuma" has that vibe. Sadly it's now out of print.

QuoteMy arms around her
Hold her up against the wind
The sun blinks away
The sky adopts a darkened hue
She is beautiful and tattered
She is almost perfect in every way

Wings tucked neatly
Hands folded purely

She's just so confused
Drowning out the noise inside
Hopes to have a conversation
Without the interference
Decorating her thin flesh
Are the scars of where she's been
Passing time in vein

Wings tucked neatly
Hands folded purely
