My third favorite city in the US is New Orleans, which as a musician and music lover makes a ton of sense.A few years ago, I started noticing a bunch of connections between those two cities. Inspired by watching this year’s Mummer’s Parade (look it up), I decided to finally flesh out these parallel worlds, in music and beyond.Are familiar at all with either city? Are they among your favorites? Do these connections ring true to you? Are there other connections I missed? Discuss dammit!~~~~*intro music credit: <a href="https://recarea.bandcamp.com/track/you-make-me-wanna-remastered-2022">REC - "You Make Me Wanna"</a> (from RECcollection: The Best of REC 2007-2020)

MUSIC is not a GENRE

PODFAST #25 - The PARALLEL WORLDS of Philly and New Orleans | MxG BONUS EPISODE

MUSIC is not a GENRE goes beyond music critique, opinion, and gimmicks to get at the heart of music & how it connects to the world - from the perspective of a TRUE MUSIC INSIDER. Every kind of music is discussed and connected to cultural, social & political issues in unexpected ways. It challenges music lovers to think as if THERE IS NO BOX AT ALL. No music can be confined to a genre. And music itself can't be separated from the rest of the world.
