Since I'm at work I can't verify if this works or not but for those of us who love David Simon shows but don't have cable, here is the first episode streaming:

If you want to download the music from Episode 1 on Amazon MP3 check here: http://www.offbeat.com/playlists. I just posted pretty much everything that was available (just about everything except the closing credits song, My Darling New Orleans by Leigh "Lil Queenie" Harris).
Davis wasn't fired from the WWOZ for having a chicken sac'd on the air. No, it was his terrible mic technique?seriously unless that was some kind of miracle microphone his levels would have been all over the map. OK, not that a Simon show dipped into something I have direct knowledge of it's fun to have my moment of hate. Actually, I thought the scene was pretty funny.
So, my take home message from this episode is that the Mardi Gras Chiefs have to be seriously bad ass to earn the right to wear the giant feathered HR Pufnstuf outfit. I don't have an HD set so it was too dark to tell, but did Albert kill that guy? It was pretty dark but it certainly sounded like it, I suppose he'll stash the body in a vacant.
Finally, SLIM CHARLES!

I hated the scene with the street musician couple. Before they pulled the holier-than-thou attitude on the tourists, I thought they were recent arrival carpetbaggeurs.
I thought the same thing, R*ss! But the girl got a pass 'cause a) she wasn't rude and b) she's a cutie pie. Who is she??
Costello is in the series because they're trying to recreat an album he recorded in NO after Katrina. Just like the opening 2nd line parade in the 1st episode was to re-create the first one that happened after the storm. They're mixing in some real events into the series.
It wasn't a great scene, but it was a very David Simon scene at the same time. I think the episode was just about tourist tension, all as a build up to letting Lester kick ass. Hope the other dude was alright...
the dude that Lambreaux kills was played by a friend of a friend.
he told me they spray-painted a piece of hard foam to look like a pipe, and that Clarke Peters actually hit him with it pretty damn hard!
his character is, indeed, dead.

This is something I posted on another board, in response to some chest-pumping Texans capping on Louisiana...
I wholly agree. Is it just me or do some of the White characters seem a bit one-dimensional? Just a gut reaction so far. For the most part I am liking it, although I am missing the inherent tension that The Wire's cop show genre had going for it, gave it a lot more momentum than I am seeing in this series so far. But at least it is trying to bring audiences something new, which is certainly welcome.
And I too was confused about if Big Chief killed that dude, but I was distracted a bit while watching it last night.
I thought it was pretty obvious that the kid was dead. Lambreaux's body language suggested it, plus, although it was a dark scene, I think they showed the kid was not breathing or moving.
Oh yeah and the street musician chick is this girl, actor slash violinist from NY:
