You can ask the guy who wrote a book about Bubblegum Music.
Well I was
thinking
of you specifically. Does that count?
Anyway, I can zip up all the Josie I've got if you want.
That would be great! Thanks!
And it's well, worth having. The best tracks are comparable to something like a female Jackson 5. Best Studio musicians in Los Angeles, and Patrice Holloway (little sister of soul legend Brenda Holloway) on lead for most tracks.
I was listening to Josie tracks last night for sentimental reasons (some of the songs I hadn't heard since the early '70s) and I was surprised at how good they were.
Shall I send it to your profile addy?
Josie & the Pussycats songs are also relevant to my interests...
Sleater-Kinney are live on NPR right now [link]
Music recs wanted!
Is there any other music that could be comparable to Playing for Change songs or HitRecords "You're Not the Only One" where it is a collaboration of many artists? Or at the least uplifting/inspirational or just epic like U2/Greenday's "The Saints Are Coming"? --After listening to that last, not so much on the epic, just the uplifting and heartwarming.
So! This actually happened a bit ago, but well, stuff happened, and some of you already know, but still. Anyway! I'm proud to announce my first mini-album has been released! It's a three song EP. I do blues/jazz covers of "Hanging Tree" from Hunger Games, Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar," and my own original, "Sleepin' In." (spoiler alert - it's not about sleeping!) Head over to [link] to take a listen, and throw me a couple bucks if you want to download the tracks!
How cool, Liese! I really liked your version of Have a Cigar.
Thanks, David! That was the genesis of the project. "Hey, you know what I should do, hahahah..." It started as a joke, but then when I got the amazing pianist in, I was all, uh-oh, I have to up my game! He happened to be at the college where we were recording; he was playing in the big band that performed a piece the SO had composed the night before. The prof (who I thought would be doing all the parts) called him up and said, hey, wanna drop in? It really elevated it; suddenly I was the weakest player on my own project! But I was pleased with how it came out, and it's fun to have something for sale on iTunes!
