Program: Blues in the Night with Jamie Dell'Apa

Drunk Drive Time Radio

During these midnight to three am shifts I have telephone conversations with people practicing both their drunk driving and drunk dialing skills.  It is wrong in so many ways but this being New Orleans it inspires tonight's music.  

 Float One - Hot Rods To Hell 

 Put away your high brow public radio expectations, tonight's audio Mardi Gras parade begins with a salute to the hot rod.  Songs not about "cars" or" automobiles" but "hot rods."   Think movies like Hot Rods to Hell that scared the crap out this once ten year old kid and check another fan's web site devoted to this movie:

 Float Two - Your Trash Ain't Nothin' But Cash

The next audio float is a tribute to St. Bernard's golden boy Sidney Torres - the garbage man.  Torres has performed well on his refuse collection contract but recent revelations that New Orleans refuse (and sewage!) is being dumped in St. Bernard.  Our down-river friends are not happy being at the wrong end of New Orleans' intestine.  Reports are that the FBI is going to investigate and tonight were going to add nothing substantial by providing a set of music about garbage to sooth the savage beast.   

Float Three - Uptown, Downtown Back of Town, Gert Town, Pigeon Town,  

The election coverage sliced and diced Americans into every demographic imaginable but music has always given uptown a highbrow connotation and downtown a hipster aura..  A short set pitting "uptown" versus "downtown" in an audio 'rasslin' match.

Float Four - Chicago Chicago    

There are actually plenty of songs written about Obama but since they're being played too much these days, we'll play songs of Chicago including an absolutely horrible version of Chicago, Chicago done ironically by Abbie Hoffman.
