Mystic Cookies
Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans (Free subscription) | yesterday
The novel Mystic Pig by Richard Katrovas is one of the great New Orleans books. You’re have to take my word for it, or you can plop down about $30 US to get a copy of the reprint from Oleander Press in England after conversion, shipping, etc. The story of restaurateur Nat Moore and the [...]

Former Louisiana Episcopal Priest and Florida Bishop Ordained a Catholic Priest
Opinionated Catholic (Free subscription) | 12/04/2009
Whispers has a post here I wanted to highlight. See Over the River... and Back in Black The article he links is good. What I like about this was this the way this was done. Very quietly and in a respectful manner. There is no need to have a IN YOUR FACE moment for our Anglican friends that are in middle of their own troubles. Gosh knows we have our own troubles ourselves. I think this is a very Christian...

Agoraphonia
Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans (Free subscription) | 12/02/2009
Trying to read Bernadette Mayer’s surrealist Agoraphobia over lunch in a crowded food court is like a holiday in schizophrenia. I don’t recommend surrealism for lunch. Try the Mexican instead. Just when I think I have the sense of it her sentences run like rivulets after a wave back into the ocean of voices echoing [...]

Crow’s Fall
Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans (Free subscription) | 12/02/2009
So it’s Wednesday and I’ve nothing much to say so why not another Crow poem on One Eyed Jack’s day. Painting Raven Passion from The Sacred Crow Treasure Box Crow’s Fall By Ted Hughes When Crow was white he decided the sun was too white. He decided it glared much too whitely. He decided to attack it and defeat it. He [...]

The former Black Flag singer has released countless spoken word albums and toured relentlessly, offering a mixture of amusing stories and poignant reflections on life.

Oh Give Me A Noose I Can Hang From The Tree
Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans (Free subscription) | 11/30/2009
Yes, well, this one has been done before but I’m going to try to maintain a modicum of, um, class. Or culture. Or something. Hell, I just like it and it’s Tom Waits. If you’re just wandered in here looking for something else: Happy Hostilidays.

The Gift
Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans (Free subscription) | 11/28/2009
OK, not exactly a holiday video for the increasingly infamous NOLA Bloggers War On Christmas, (aka The Hostilidays) but also because this is the piece I suggested Lou For A Day should stand up on the bar and declaim at Mimi’s if I can scrape off the right-channel music track. And hey, it’s all about [...]

NCR: Fifty Catholic Dioceses Donated To Repeal Maine Marriage Law
Pam's House Blend (Free subscription) | 11/27/2009
From National Catholic Reporter's Chuck Colbert comes an utterly damning breakdown of Portland Roman Catholic Diocese Bishop Richard J. Malone's activities this year, as well as the increasingly visible political proclivities of the Catholic Church in the United States: Gathering money from 50 U.S. dioceses , the Portland, Maine, diocese contributed more than $550,000 to the campaign to rejected Maine's...

You have to love a holiday that is primarily about eating and drinking whatever sort of civics class fatherland malarkey They have tried to drape the table with. Thanksgiving is the holiday (I will bet you a bottle of wine) at which you will find yourself trying to remember the grape-and-grain rule and will as [...]

Is It Supersonic?
Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans (Free subscription) | 11/22/2009
I’m a big fan of Rahsaan Roland Kirk, but I wasn’t aware of this odd film featuring Kirk and John Cage, with Cage providing the libretto and some of the mix and overdubs to Kirk’s music. Some people think Kirk is just a freak show, the man who can blow three horns and play a [...]

Prisoners
Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans (Free subscription) | 11/21/2009
This week I watched cable channel AMC’s television series The Prisoner, a very loose remake of the famous 1960s series staring Patrick McGoohan about a government agent who, on attempting to resign, is kidnapped and taken to a dystopic resort/retirement home called The Village. The 21st century version, based on a graphic novel of the [...]
