Carnival is underway, and This Week's Soundtrack highlights some of the many Mardi Gras shows happening this week.
My Spilt Milk picks the week's highlights, including sailor songs from Valparaiso Men's Chorus, St. Paul and The Broken Bones, total chaos with the Itchy-O Marching Band, Patty Griffin's new album, Cobalt Cranes, and the Crescent City BBQ and Blues Festival.
This album of sea shanties from the Bywater makes me want a beer.
