I read a couple of good articles today in the New Yorker and thought I'd share. I love reading well-written articles about music/bands/movements/genres/etc that aren't necessarily reviews or promotions.

Thought maybe we could share them  :grin:

This month's Oxford American is all about Louisiana music. I'd highly recommend it. I've been reading it since I got home this afternoon, and there is still quite a bit to be devoured. You can purchase it online @ http://oxfordamerican.org or pick it up a magazine rack. Sorry they don't have it online yet. I imagine that it will be there later. There's an interesting article about Preservation Hall among other good reads.
