ReDefine 8/29

YOU KNOW THAT NINETY NINE cents you were about to blow on i-tunes? The nonprofit New Orleans Musician's Relief Fund, which help the city's players rebuild livelihoods destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, has a better idea; seventeen topically accurate mp3s by Crescent City stars and out-of-town friends. Kaiser Chiefs donate "Out of My Depth, a fine new stomp that sounds like a pissed-off Badfinger, and Doctor John is among the locals singing for his neighbors. Ian Hunter's "How's Your House" comes in video form; grim newsreels of the devastation that show why projects like this are still necessary, two years after the flood.
