Jon, that's a lovely article, and it a) makes me sad that I wasn't there for the concert, and b) want to go find out more about Phillis Wheatley right now.
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Yay for FAQ!Wife. I eagerly await the conflict of interest when she reviews a Lothars show.
Sharp review. Sharp FAQ!Wife.
Betsy, if you are still looking for New Orleans music, check out the Subdudes. "Primitive Streak" is a good album, but give all of them a listen on Amazon. I think you'll like them.

"And last, but certainly not least, theremin player Jon Bernhardt creates magic with his hands. A deeply, deeply satisfying experience. I would recommend it to everyone... except that he's MINE! So stay the fuck away!"
Jeez, Joe, you make her sound like Anya! (note to self: ask FAQ Wife her opinion on bunnies)
Great article, Jon. You done good, wifewise!
NY Times has an article on the Inntonation Festival that I went to this weekend. I had no idea 15,000 people went (over two days) or that some Pitchfork reviewers make $17 per review!
Be sure to go down to the slide show feature to see a lovely pic of Petra Haden.
