New Orleans friends please help us! Christopher Stoudt’s (guitarist/singer for both Jonesbirds and Bunny Matthews and the Playboys) seafoam green Dean Palamino guitar and Fender Hot Rod Deville 2x12 amp were stolen out of his car (parked on Desire St. in the Bywater) on Friday night after Bunny and the Playboys played at the Pizza Delicious fundraiser at Siberia. The guitar is so unique that if enough people know to keep an eye out for it at venues, pawn shops, and online, we can catch those goddamn crooks if they try to sell it anywhere. Please reblog and tweet me at @sozmonsta or email me at gm@wtulneworleans.com if you see it anywhere. Two bands and a lot of hearts could really use your help.

Went to the Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans theme park yesterday.. walking around felt kind of like exploring a post-apocalyptic world (which I guess, in a sense, I was).. I would go there again at night to drink, maybe.. This place was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and apparently the Six Flags company just up and left and never came back, so nobody’s made any moves to clean up or clear the park out since then, and it’s open to photographers/taggers/skaters/bums/what-have-you. I think it’s mostly rad, and a little bit sad. We found a Polaroid on the ground of a Six Flags worker from ‘05, in mint condition, as well as a binder full of Six Flags’ proposed new marketing strategy & partnership with Sherwin Williams. So strange to look at relics from a time long, long gone..

Local rapper G-Eazy’s new track, Marilyn, ft the goddess-like voice of WTUL’s own sweet Dominique Lejeune :) Give it a whirl

Sometimes I try to explain to people why New Orleans is so special. This does a pretty good job of explaining it.
