Did you know that indie-rock superhero Ani DiFranco lives in New Orleans?
Originally from Buffalo, N.Y., she has bonded with the Crescent City... especially post-Katrina. New Orleans seduces people like that.
Next month DiFranco, the hardest-working babe in show business, will tour the American South. Check her MySpace page for dates.
Ani and her band performed in Amsterdam last October. The entire 20-song set is embedded below.

I went to a concert of hers a while back. absolutely amazing.
Ani is one of those artists for whom I have TREMENDOUS respect: she's incredibly prolific, musically talented and purposeful, did great things in her hometown of Buffalo, runs her own record label, etc. in her art... but I must say, I don't actually dig very much of her music.
^ I haven't delved waist-deep into her repertoire... but I came to her through the funk connection -- her collaborations with Maceo Parker, her occasional Prince covers (or Prince soundalike songs).
Russell, if you missed the free MP3 I blogged about last summer, "Emancipated Minor," click here. It's hittin'.
Very cool. Is MidCity Lanes still Rockin and Bowlin in NO?
Russell - and imagine how those of us who DO dig much of her music feel about her!
