I agree with you about Delmond. I imagine that if he does go out on Mardi Gras, it will be the one time out of respect for his father's wishes. I can't see him passing up national gigs to stay in NOLA creating a new suit every year.

Davis was the one who assumed that they were outsiders gentrifying New Orleans because they had recently moved to the Treme neighborhood, but then he found out that at least one of them was a lifelong resident from Mid-City and they had as much right to live where they did as lily-white, entitled Davis himself.

What got me was the line about Antoine going "to go search for a parade to join…" It's a second line, not a parade.

I thought of the class dynamics in this episode as well. I really like Nick, but he came across as a little too smug when he was commenting about Carlos being self-taught. I also thought it was very telling how Brian basically had the luxury to spend his time at UCLA getting wasted at keg parties, combined with his…

B - I think the only way it could be more meta is if Antoine had to coach an actor playing in a live band for a Bourbon Street strip club, and Antoine went on a rant about how inauthentic and unrealistic it is to film a scene of actual live music happening in a strip club in present day New Orleans.

The latter. There's an article at nola.com that talks about how Pierce learned to play from Stafford Agee (Rebirth Brass Band): http://www.nola.com/treme-h…

Delmond playing that solo arrangement of "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" had me in tears.

I was thinking the same thing about the Glover case.

I didn't consider Carrie's creamed asparagus on toast to be the "weirdest thing ever." But then again I grew up in the Midwest and ate a variation of that all the time (my mom made hers with canned tuna). Is it a regional thing?

And now we know the real story of what happened when he was standing at the railing of the ferry: a little winged creature gave him the extra boost to go over.

I'm pretty sure it was (the bands were Galactic and Soul Rebels).

Both the amount of music and the sheer variety of music. A lesser show would toss in a little jazz here and zydeco there, but on Treme even rockabilly hipsters get some screen time.

You can also catch him on the show Nashville.

I think the "bluegrass" element is One Direction attempting to capitalize on the Mumford and Sons sound.

Add me to the list of people who are hating the torture porn. It's not edgy, it's not provocative, it doesn't lead to deeper character development. It's lazy and unnecessary and I'd venture to say even irresponsible to further normalize torture as just an ordinary plot point that's part of the formula for writing a…

It's the Twitter Effect.

Dr Glenn, I'd much rather read a comment from someone being That Guy pointing out details about the musicians on the show than read Some Dude (like OuTRiGHT) who can't be bothered to check IMDB to learn more about musicians like Trombone Shorty and Michael Doucet and BeauSoleil (aka "the fiddler act").

*sniffle*

Davis is a NOLA native, his family has been there for generations.

Guess I can't be helped. If he was doing it for a little kid, sure, it would be cute. But a man pretending to rev up a bicycle to get an adult woman to laugh is just plain sad.
