they're pounding nails in louisiana, they're pounding nails:
"Louisiana" by the Loved Ones might be the best Katrina song ever written. (The possible exception is "Hey Katrina" by Lifetime, but they wrote that one like nine years before the Hurricane.) I really can't stop listening to it.

And while you listen to it, read this arresting, haunting, perfect Tom Lee post about his trip to rebuild a church in the Lower Ninth War. Ezra once observed to me that the best writer of all our friends isn't even a goddamn journalist. Tommy, you're embarrassing us!

If we're talking Katrina songs, there needs to be mention of "Georgia Bush" by Lil Wayne with accompanying youtubage.

I like "Get Ya Hustle On" by Juvenile and especially the apocalyptic video.
