A Cracker Christmas Flashback
Stereogum (Free subscription) | 12/19/2007
What were you doing around Christmas 2001? "Merry Christmas, Emily," Cracker's suitably bummed holiday song from 2002's Forever , which was written by David Lowery and Johnny Hickman "as an ode to ex-girlfriends everywhere," has popped back up at the boys' behest. Anything to spread some cheer to everyone but poor Emily. Hickman recently said that the song "was written in about an hour ... both of...

I got the chance to talk with Cracker frontman David Lowery as he prepares for his show at Toad's Place next week. Congrats to Boyhowdy from Cover Lay Down for his question which was presented to David in the interview below. Click here to listen . What's the best show you ever played in Richmond, Va?

Cracker contest
Circles of Concrete (Free subscription) | 11/16/2007
I haven't listened to Cracker in God knows how long. Actually the only song I can even remember is the catchy "Get Off This" that was featured in every movie and advertisement from 1993 to 1996. But I do remember that they put on a good live show. Cracker will be playing at Toad's Place in Richmond, Va. on Dec. 1 and I'm sort of excited to see them perform. I'm getting the chance to sit down with lead...

The fact that David Lowery's best known for fronting Cracker instead of fronting Camper Van Beethoven is one of those ironies of musical injustice that keeps us up at night.

New Cracker Video - "Baby All Those Girls Meant Nothing To Me"
Stereogum (Free subscription) | 09/11/2007
Old fave David Lowery wants us to know that all those gals, well, they meant nothing, baby, come on, take him back. Over at his pretty terrific blog he offers a bit of background: Originally It was titled “All those whores meant nothing to me”. but kristin hott refused to sing the backing vocals that way. And probably was a good idea to change it. A little off putting to some people I suppose. Probably....
