Some call it Ash Wednesday, but those of us who live our life at least a day behind call it “Tardy Gras.” If you either missed it or don’t wanna Fat Tuesday to end, we’ve recruited Big Chief Jim Sclavunos to help lay the Iko Iko across your forehead. While Jim is Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ percussionist, Grinderman’s drummer, and The Vanity Set’s leader, you may also know him from Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, 8-Eyed Spy, Sonic Youth, Tav Falco’s Panther Burns, Alex Chilton, The Cramps, Congo Norvell, Gunga Din, etc. This notorious night-trippin’ international playboy is totin’ a mojo bag full o’ the Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya and other seasonal delights. Wear ashes on your forehead and get a surprise. And you know what to do if if you want beads. Just like being there – only cheaper, easier, and later. What a difference a day makes…. More fun than a barrel-full of mudbugs.
