rather than television in the background while I blog I have been listening to various radio stations on iTUNES got some BIG R Radio playing Luscious Jackson right now I always enjoyed the sounds of Luscious Jackson never knew they had more than one album never knew that they had enough hits to have a "greatest hits" album maybe that is just the name of the album was about to do a YOUTUBE search for...
Nothing, however, could beat this nonchalant, drum-driven hit, which sparked an alternative following with four identical baby blue trench coats; two heavily highlighted blonde streaks and exactly one conniving Beastie Boy
The Gap's holiday ad campaigns have often featured pop musicians recasting holiday tunes—recall Luscious Jackson's take on "Let It Snow," or Rufus Wainwright's "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" —but this year, in order to get "interactive," the mall staple is letting people remix the Flo Rida/Janelle Monae/Dixie Chicks/Sandra Bernhard/Other People cover of "Jingle Bells" in the ad above to send...
If 1991 was the year that punk broke, 1993 was the year that Alternative took hold. Nirvana and Pearl Jam delivered follow-ups to their blockbusters, rock radio was ruled by their imitators Stone Temple Pilots, pop radio saw more guitars than it did in years thanks to R.E.M. and their followers like the Gin Blossoms. Thanks to PJ Harvey, Liz Phair, Belly, Luscious Jackson, Juliana Hatfield, and the...
Rylie has guessed correctly. The name of my next novel is Why Do I Lie? after the song by Luscious Jackson. Rylie send me an email with your snail mail address. I will send you a copy of How to Ditch your Fairy. A Quick Note on Titles Just because I think Why Do I Lie? is [...]
The nice thing about Bob Boilen at NPR's All Songs Considered is that he does such a good job of making me think about music. Today, he asked readers/listeners to weigh in with their favorite driving songs. That got me...
Fantastic Fabulous by Luscious Jackson was recorded in 1999 but is still quite fabulous today! The track features one of our faves Debbie Harry and can be found on the Luscious Jackson album Electric Honey . Although this song was never released as a single it probably should of been because it's just that good. Listen close to Debbie's vocals and you can even hear elements of a Blondie single... Can...
New Young Pony Club released a record in 2007 called Fantastic Playroom that made me super nostalgic for the days of Luscious Jackson; this is likely what LJ could have sounded like if they'd stuck around and gotten swept up...
School’s out for the summer and so is Sharon Hagopian, aka Cannonball Jane - music teacher by day and underground electro-pop phenomenon by night. When she’s not teaching in her hometown of Bridgeport, CT, she’s out creating a mind-bendingly brilliant mix of hip-hop samples and sixties girl group pop. With summer vacation underway, Hagopian [...]
Whenever I hear the name Jane I can't help thinking about a high school friend of mine (spelled "Jayne"). She was one of maybe three people from my school I hung out with my senior year. When I attended a reunion recently my wife asked me, not facetiously, "Are you even going to know anyone here?" The only person I could think of was Jayne, but I knew she wouldn't be there. Like me, Jayne was slightly...
Well hot dang the noir treatment is done. Now to wait for a response - which might be bothersome if I didn't have ten other projects to occupy myself with! Yesterday I got a nice start on the web show work I need to have done for next week, so I reckon that's the thing to work on through the weekend. But not tonight - tonight I'm going to try and finish a painting I started , if for no other reason...
2-2, pretty fun game so far, even if it's pretty sloppy... Silverbacks defense looks like they forgot their sharpness on the plane, they've looked really shaky all night. Bobo and Lancaster pulled "a 3 Stooges routine" on one play according to the Seattle announcers. Even Shemp would've been disappointed... Offense didn't too much until about midway through the first half. Once Kandji and Toure started...
Reunions tours are the new festival tours in 2008. The Verve reunion shows have been a great success. I shelled out the $60+ for the first My Bloody Valentine show at Roseland even though that venue makes me want to...
We ventured over to Music Millennium on East Burnside yesterday to catch one of my music heros, Mike Doughty. He was in town for a show last evening @ The Wonder Ballroom and graciously decided to perform a set for free for his biggest fans. Mike was the lead singer of a great band in [...]
