Bongo in Squaresville . 8 | Billie Holiday

---

Bongo in Squaresville is a weekly webcast radio show devoted to the jazz music, of every style and genre, that's gone down in Boston through the last 10 or so decades. Join us at Radio Roofscape every Wednesday night. The music starts at 9:00 and there's never a cover charge or drink minimum.

Check out Roofscape Journal too. Each week we'll be looking at a different aspect of the Boston jazz scene down through the years to today - digging the music, meeting the musicians, hanging out with the fans, making recording sessions and visiting the clubs. Today we're celebrating Billy Holiday's birthday, born April 7, 1915 and died July 17, 1959 at age 44.

New Orleans News . 1

The view from Roofscape is about to change once again. For a fresh perspective we've decided to move to New Orleans. Much as we love Boston, where we're currently based, we've always considered Boston to be New Orleans North and New Orleans to be Boston South.

Programmed the following late night / early morning indie pop set ...

Pernice Brothers - Working Girls
Dinosaur Jr. - Green Mind
Lemonheads - Luka
Buffalo Tom - Never Noticed
Gin Blossoms - Follow You Down
Gigolo Aunts - Where I Find My Heaven
Juliana Hatfield - Law of Nature
Pixies - Ana
Shins - Phantom Limb
Nico - Roses in the Snow
West Indian Girl - Miles from Monterey

... to immediate responses: U.S., Brazil, France, Germany, Thailand. Gained 3 listeners after the great Beethoven disaster. That Nico song is gorgeous. Just noticed that over half of these are by Boston bands. Not intended.

Watched Kurt and Courtney last night, being tired with an utterly idle mind. Good for the tired with utterly idle minds. Did he trip or was he pushed? Qui gives a shit? Nirvana was among the most boring of bands - and Hole, oh please.

Peter and I are working on a job in Bay Village. Had lunch at Mike and Patty's before we began yesterday, our new favorite spot. Mike asked if we could do a job for him. Of course. We were working in The Village (as I've never heard it refered to) again today. Brisk biking there and back again - 36°, hell, a heatwave compared to last week.
