Couple of great New Orleans gigs with my old pal Kunkel this week!

Day 365c. That's all, folks! Love you.

Day 365b. Anyone who can find one of my screw-up duplicate postings wins a free record from Too Long To Chew! Link in comments.

Day 365a. You get three tunes today! I screwed up and posted 2 duplicates this year that not even Gary Blaine noticed. The vocal at the end of this is what Willy did for his GBDLX audition. He got the job.

Day 364, more on the spirit world or fear thereof. Replacing Gawd with overload. Music by Nolan Cook, with nods to Deputy Dawg, Daffy Duck, and Francis Scott Key.

Day 363. Still exploring the spirit world.

day 362. falling down on good times, falling free from hard times.

May your soul forget about gravity. Be boundless and limitless. day 361

Day 360. Last Fish Fryday of the year.

day 359. happy birthday to kid ory and cab calloway.

Day 358. I just got off FB probation for a drug joke I made in March. Let's see what happens now! Tomorrow is the last day to purchase my smash Xmess hit before it disappears for another year! Link in comments.

Day 357. Wrapping things up. It still kinda stings but it's all over now.

Day 356. Sister song to "Tucson," and as far as we ever got on our Arizona Geography concept album.

Day 355, shortest day of the year. Here's the longest, most overwrought song of my whole career. I blame youth and self-loathing. But it's about the swamp in the winter, and the band sounds great.

Day 354. I was a PBS superstar once.

Day 353. What variant are we up to now?

day 352 beep beep

Day 351. Post-Katrina weather-related heartbreak.

Day 350. Pre-Katrina weather-related heartbreak.

Day 349. Minstrels come and go, the band keeps playing on.

Day 348. Stay a baby in your universe. Live forever.

Day 347. This song is too long, and reminds me how pretentious I was at age 24. But someone impartial just told me he loves it. And I love all the players on it. Also, I inadvertanly stole it from "Green Eyed Lady."

Day 346. Bremner Fletcher dug me out of the Grinch drawer, got me to play bass on this, and promptly stuck me back in.

Day 345! Wreck of the Old 47! Um, 97!

Day 344. Anyone remember NoizeFest 2020? Desperate times called for desperate measures. www.facebook.com/reel/1015872...

Day 343. The Lake Borgne Marsh Creation Project was just completed, the largest such project in Louisiana history. I'm hoping it helps preserves the ruins of St Malo, the nation's first Asian-American settlement?

Day 342. Feeling sugary today. Maybe even sweet.

Day 341!

Day 340. I'm in the cold rainy Mississippi countryside, where this cold rainy song was written. This is the original. Three more versions were recorded.

Day 339. Murky Xmess, it's back! The most hated song I've ever written! Only available through December 25, then it burrows back underground for safety. Stream/purchase link in comments!

Day 338. I still have no idea what this song is about.

Day 337. I played drums once.

Day 336. Feliz trigésimo cumple a El Alicia en CDMX! Sin Uds, esta canción sería muy diferente. there's only one thing that i know, there's lots of bugs in mexico, and you (IT'S LEGS NOT LET'S, dammit)

Day 335 of 365. Happy birthday Melynda Jackson! Hope you're staying away from that Coors Light.

day 334 this time of year is when I feel a little down newspapers come alive and pin me to the ground spit in my eye and hold me

Day 333. Freemasons like the number 333. I like my friend Mason and he's pretty free, I guess.

Day 332. "Happy" Black Friday. Here's some materialism to get you going.

Day 331. I did this a few Thanksgivings ago to benefit London's Betsey Trotwood during the pandemic. Guest starring goats, a passing train, and a rainstorm.

Day 330. Happy birthday to Guy Kyser! Without Whom.

Day 329. Back in innocent 2019, Ángel Sánchez Borges (Antiguo Autómata Mexicano, Seekers Who Are Lovers) asked me from across the border to bass up this esoteric Mexican Stones cover. You can buy the original cassette for only 1000 dollars! Until Pintalo de Negro finally corrects it to 1000 pesos.

day 328. did you tell guillaume... happy birthday! Happy birthday to his majesty Willy (the Mailman) Seekamp! Here's the only GBDLX track on which he sings lead, and also the only studio recording featuring Jai Young Kim. Worship at Willy's feet!

Day 327. did you...? originalcompositionbynolancook

Day 326. SAVE THE BULLSHIT FOR THE RODEO! Also, the Sleazeball Orchestra play tonight at Triangle Square in beautiful Slidell. No cover, 8pm - midnight.

Day 325. Fish is a New Orleans Friday tradition. Also, the Sleazeball Orchestra play today at 30/90, 5-8pm. It will sound nothing like this.

Day 324. Happy 83rd birthday to me dear mum! Here's a silly song recorded live near where she was born in old London towne.

Day 323. Happy birthday, Brandon Brunious! I sure do like your guitar on this swell original of Tiff's.

Day 322. I heard a couple of pre-med students talking about the subarachnoid space over coffee this morning. It was sweet.

Day 321. One of the first songs I ever wrote. I'm embarrassed and emboldened by it.

Day 320. Weird for a GBDLX tune in that I played all the instruments on it, including the mighty Staubsauger (look it up). All the fault of the brilliant Desmond Shea.

Day 319. In case you're wondering how I'm doing.
