Dischord and Ukelele
Interview with:
Phone in interview with Ian MacKaye – Minor Threat, Fugazi, The Evens… Dischord Records - http://www.dischord.com/
And
In the studio – Uni and her Ukelele - http://www.myspace.com/uniandherukelel

It was a very good and chaotic show.

Lady Monster was with me doing her training for her first show later that afternoon.

I ranted about how New Orleans is still is bad shape and about Bush turning down foreign aid for New Orleans. And I did my usual safe sex – PSA thing.

Then Ian MacKaye called in (yea! Ian – big thanks to him) – We talked about doing shows alternative venues – the laws around that, economic and social reasons why people mostly do in bars, and ways around that. We talked about street musicians and political protests.

During my conversation with Ian – Uni came in with her Ukelele , so after finishing talking to him, we chatted with Uni about her upcoming tours and her dong street performances with friends; also she played a couple of songs.

PLAYLIST (Not really in order):
1) ZydePunks - A Fistful of Oysters & Satan/ Dance you Fukr (they are a New Orleans Punk like band with Zydeco influences)
2) Dash Rip Rock - Toy Box (from New Orleans)
3) Carne Asada – Gringo (From the “Punk Like Me” Documentary – Mariachi Punk)
4) Mulletor – Love that Hair (a old lover of mine does their graphics and animation – It is a rock opera – very funny)
5) Free Head – Here Kitty, Kitty (Jim Smith – who did the music for ‘Ren & Stimpy”- is in this short lived band)
6) John Lee Hooker – I’m so Excited (a classic musician)
7) The Evens – Pushed Against the Wall (Ian MacKaye and Amy Farina’s band)
8) Uni & her Ukelele – Tell me that my world is Pink not Blue & See your face again (from her CD – “My Favorite Letter is U) – big kisses to Uni & best wishes on her tour.
