Wrapping up, here’s one last memory of my first year of blogging.
Hurricane Katrina sticks deeply in my mind. I posted about it quite a lot.
There were several posts that quoted from the classic Rising Tide, such as this one that gave a historical view and this one that looked at New Orleans’ racial profile. There was this post about New Orleans brass bands.
This post on Sister Gertrude was key. Her songs became my own personal soundtrack to watching coverage on TV.
Sister Gertrude – New World in My View — BUY
Sister Gertrude – Precious Lord Lead Me On — BUY
As a closing note to this review, there are a number of downloads that seem to maintain their popularity month after month. They include:
Oh, and a goddamn mess of you downloaded Paris Hilton’s single “Stars Are Blind,” which scared me so much that I didn’t post the new Justin Timberlake single, no matter how much I liked it.
