Cool Stuff in New Orleans – Music Box Village
In New Orleans’ Bywater neighborhood there stands a unique sculpture garden. While appearing to be a collection of treehouses and cottages, each “house” is in fact a musical instrument. The work of the more than 80 artists with the New Orleans Airlift arts program, Music Box Village is “…inspired by the everyday presence of music in New Orleans, and the city’s under-celebrated class of tinkerers, inventors, and avant-garde musicians….” During public hours, guests are invited to experiment with sound-play; the site is also a performance venue for local, regional, and national acts. Music Box Village also hosts arts workshops in many different media, and invites its guests to sample local cuisine and beverages at the on-site bar.
For more information about Music Box Village, visit https://musicboxvillage.com/

152: Quintron // Too Thirsty 4 Love
Tumblr media
Too Thirsty 4 Love Quintron 2008, Goner (Bandcamp)
For the uninitiated, Quintron is a New Orleans-bred musician who uses a Frankensteined organ/synthesizer of his own invention to make the dance music equivalent of those scrap metal sculptures that spring up in the yards of local eccentrics. Too Thirsty 4 Love, his first LP for garage rock label Goner Records, marries vintage organ sounds and punky grime to late ‘90s electronica beats (think Booker T. Jones playing Vengaboys, but recorded like the Stooges). Quintron’s whole shtick is very silly, very campy (particularly when you factor in the involvement of his wife Miss Pussycat, an unskilled but enthusiastic co-lead singer who doubles as a go-go dancer and puppeteer in the duo’s legendary live shows), but everything he does he does till every last body in the room has a sweat on. You could lump this in with the comedy rock of an act like Electric Six, but to my ears at least, the rough textures and genuine freakiness of Quintron’s music make it cooler by far. He's of that Weirdo Internationale that secretly keeps the world going. (Appropos of not quite nothing, but any Torontonians reading who like this very particular type of wholesome lunatic married couple vibe should scope out Hot Breath Karaoke and everything under Mike Gabel and Jennifer Earle's general aegis.)

Anyway, Quintron's great. Bonus points for writing the most terrifying sentence in any language (“The Boss Wants to Party With You”).

For tonight's musical interlude, wanted to find something that hit all of our "main" themes this year - the 20s, the 60s, and New Orleans.

Today was such a nice day and then Italian tv blessed us with a documentary about Radiohead and chased it with another one about Jethro Tull and chased that one with another one about New Orleans music history! Quality 👌
