Hi ! This is vu in California, I'm not on my computer so I can't seem to insert audio on this Safari browser. (Perhaps someone on this blog can edit and add the Luscious Jackson song in this entry for me?)
Not much to report, except I am having a fantastic time. We took a fake band picture (which may or may not get posted here). I bought some CDs, yeah, and hopefully more music and movie shoppings tomorrow...
This Luscious Jackson CD I picked up, Fever in Fever Out, was bought for $2.95 at Amoeba Records in LA. Not much to say for Luscious except that they are out of Philadelphia and have broken up. The band was named after a baseball basketball player, Lucious Brown Jackson.
I believe the singer has a solo album, released last year? I have not really kept up with them, to be honest.

Yes, Jill Cunniff has a solo record out that I haven't heard yet but I keep meaning to pick up. And the band announced they are reforming and working on a new record (a children's record I think), plus a greatest hits is due out. This is the only record I have by them- it was produced by Daniel Lanois, and is just incredible.

$2.95? This was such a great song that broke a terribly underrated band. And now a bargain bin cast off? For shame!(Great find tho')

[this is good] still one of my favorite songs after all these years...I didn't know they were from Philly though...!

$2.95 is about right for this album. I'm a big LJ fan, but the lo-fi-ness that permeates this album is a little too raw, even for me. Electric Honey takes the same musicians (minus the keyboard player) and throws in some late 90s electronica. They also did a song for Titan A.E. (their last, I think) which is pretty head-bobbable.

Great band...weren't they also discovered by the Beastie Boys? Or they helped get them started? I vaguely remember hearing that when they're first album came out and the first single...I think it was "Citysong"

off the top of my head I want to say that the Luscious Jackson drummer played drums either on a few Beastie Boys albums, or was their live drummer on tour.I actually first heard about them when they guest-started on Pete and Pete. They played a school dance, and they played Down Here, I think it was called.

re: safari browser.
Try firefox in Mac OS X. Vox and Safari don't play nice just yet. Sad, really.
