Playlist of the Day: Party Hearty for the End of Mardi

2/20/07, 9:16 am EST

Mardi GrasToday is Fat Tuesday, which sadly marks the end of the traditional Mardi Gras festivities (although New Orleans is more than willing to facilitate your Carnival-esque partying any day of the year). Here are a few tunes to mix with your adult beverage of choice…

  • “Mardi Gras in New Orleans” — Fats Domino
  • “Jambalaya (On the Bayou)” — Hank Williams
  • “New Orleans Is Sinking” — The Tragically Hip
  • “Maybe Partying Will Help” — Minutemen
  • “Too Drunk to Fuck” – Dead Kennedys

Taltos1667 knows his stuff. You other guys get that Springsteen, Eddie Murphy, R.E.M., Mellencamp crap outta here before the locals see it and kick your silly asses all the way across the river to Algiers.

naturally, I’m celebrating the hell out of this fat tuesday…but don’t forget, Rolling Stone, that two years ago today the righteous king of weirdness died, a dude that your magazine made….Hunter S. Thompson

“There he goes. One of God’s own prototypes. Some kind of high-powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die”

rage on Hunter

C’mon people! The top of the play list has to be “Congo Square,” by the Neville Brothers.

Aren’t there any Wild Tchoupitoulas around here?

Rick | 2/21/2007, 3:42 am EST

Oops! Missed “Meet the Boys on the Battlefront” offered by Taltos1667. I bow to the master.

But, still, “Congo Square” belongs on the list, if not at the top of the list.
