Bas Clas The New Orleans Saints are the Super Bowl Champions. Too bad the band members don't live closer to each other because tonight would be a great night for a Monday Night Madness revival! (donnie)
John Oliver Monday Night Madness!!!
Bas Clas Sorry to spread the news that Joe "Dr. Feelgood" Burge died suddenly of an apparent heart attack. He was the co-host of the Swamp and Roll Show for 23 years with the inimitable Todd Ortego. KBON lost a star and Acadiana lost a bit of its color and uniqueness with this loss. Condolences to his family, friends and to his... cohorts at KBON. Thanks, for the memories, Dr. Feelgood!

Chapter and Verse! New versions of the Windows and Mac compatible versions of "Allow Heroic Measures" are now available for free downloading! The biggest change is that each song is now a chapter on the DVD, meaning you can choose the song you want to see and hear in whatever order you want to do so. The 14-page bookle...t of lyrics, credits and blame is available, also.
It's all still free! And will remain so because we're just too damned lazy to figure out the accounting intricacies of paying royalties if you accept money. It's all here:

Bas Clas Bad Week in Bas Clas Tech: For those of you who still have not downloaded (or tried to download) the "Allow Heroic Measures" DVD, you won't be able to do it for another day or two. The server has crashed. It will take a day or so to move. Second, the new version of the DVD with chapters for each song has been delayed t...o to problems with the original files. Look for it in a week. — Geek Clas
Randy Maybe it's just me but after three download attempts I have only been able to download the first 2:30 of "Back To Work".( Great song!). Nothing else seems to be copied. I really can't wait to see this entire show. I was actually there that night , paid a cover and then my friends called from the La Quinta and said that... they weren't coming. Like a fool ,I left! What an idiot! Anyway, I will keep trying and eventually hope to have the whole show that I should have just stayed and enjoyed in the first place! Live and Learn! ( By the way,they are NOT my friends anymore!).Can't wait to see ya'll again.In the mean time,maybe my server will allow me to have the entire show as available.Thanx,Big 'Un

RIP Kirk Landry of the Dick Nixons. Kirk was a gem, a wry satirist, a lover of history and Louisiana. We enjoyed sharing the stage with his outrageous band. He was buried today in Donaldsonville. (SP)
