Brent Joseph has released his documentary A Loud Color online. Here’s the summary:
As New Orleans rebuilds, many people are trying to resolve the city’s history of crime and violence. Louis Harding was working on this problem long before the levees broke. Louis spent years trying to open a community center, The Marcus Garvey Resource Center. In 2005, he was finally able to offer his first summer program, then Hurricane Katrina struck and the center was destroyed. Despite the setback, 72-year-old Harding refuses to give up on his mission to combat poverty in New Orleans. While sorting through the debris of his life, Louis discusses the importance of history, heroes, and self-esteem in the black community. He explains how life for African-Americans in New Orleans has changed in the last 50 years and why bringing his dream to life is more important than ever before.
Check it out. Buy the DVD series from NOVAC. It’s only $8.
He also released some information about his upcoming film Holdout, about his Mid-City neighbor who refused
to leave New Orleans before or after the Katrina in order to take care of his 18 pets.
Brent and I went to high school together. He is one of my oldest and dearest friends.

…but you can clean it up. Very cool article on why Philadelphia wouldn’t clean up City Hall until almost a century after it was built.

Saints releasing veteran free safety Dwight Smith
The New Orleans Saints apprised agent Drew Rosenhaus on Thursday that they have abandoned their efforts to trade starting free safety Dwight Smith, one of their steadiest defenders during a dismal 2005 season, and instead will release the veteran defensive back after just one year with the franchise.
Dwight Smith was one of the few bright spots we had on defense last year. Is this to free up more salary for St. Reggie?
This just doesn’t seem like a smart move to me. It seems wasteful.

These plastic things are what the doctor pulled out of my nose today. He affectionately refered to them as “hardware.” Doctors are funny.
The matchbook is there to give you an idea of their size. They are about two and a half inches long and an inch tall. They felt like they were 3 feet long and a foot tall when they were coming out. They were stictched into my nose with a single stitch that went through both pieces and the middle of my nose. I should put a post in there before the hole heals up and save myself the trouble of a nose piercing later on.
Hooray for science!

Pleas add to these lists. A new CD is just a friend you haven’t made yet!
1) Beirut – Gulag Orkestrar – I am a fool for this type of music. It’s like Nick Cave got into a fight with Neutral Milk Hotel.
2) El Perro del Mar – El Perro del Mar – This is like Nico got into a fight with Neil Young.
3)Girl Talk – Night Ripper – This is like all the pop music since the 60′s getting into a fight with eachother. And rap wins most of the time.
4) Bruce Springsteen – We Shall Overcome – This is like Bruce Springsteen got into a fight with Tom Waits.
5) Neko Case – Fox Confessor Brings the Flood – This wins my award for best lyrics. It’s not even close. Plus she has a badass voice.
Music from 2005 that for one reason or another I am just now appreciating:
1) Broken Social Scene – Broken Social Scene – I recommend listening to this backwards from “It’s All Gonna Break” I didn’t like this for the longest. Then I hooked onto that one song. Now it’s so awesome.
2) The Brunette’s – Mars Loves Venus – I saw them open for The Shins and C.Y.H.S.Y, and they were better than both. I finally founds this CD used, but then it was in Chelsey’s car stereo when it got jacked. Too bad we already had a copy on the computer. Take that asshole stereo stealers!
3) Martha Wainwright – Martha Wainwright – She has this song called “Bloody Motherfucking Asshole” on it. (Sorry Marnie) She also has a whale of a voice.
4) CocoRosie – Noah’s Arc – This music is creepy. They have a dying cat sound. Throughout an entire song. What more can one ask for?
5) Andrew Bird – Andrew Bird and The Mysterious Production of Eggs – I had this and barely liked it for half a year or so. Then Sufjan Stevens’ Illinois cd made me appreciate it. It’s like this is the appetizer, and Illinois is the main course.
