The FUV Mixtape playlist for Thursday, December 5, 2013
Ten years ago, Amos Lee was teaching elementary school in his hometown of Philadelphia. We've been following just about every step he's made since hearing his debut album in 2005.
You might have first seen Amos as an opening act, for artists like Norah Jones or Bob Dylan; those two tours earned him a lot of fans along the road. He's released five albums on Blue Note records, each one a gem, and each one has climbed further up the charts. You can hear live versions of great songs going back several albums, plus interviews, in the links below.
Tonight at 9 we've got a session with the band Luscious Jackson who are making a comeback after a long hiatus. Luscious Jackson took their name from the basketball player Lucious Jackson who earned a gold medal at the 1964 Olympics and won the NBA Championship with the Philadelphia 76ers three years later. Do you know how other bands got their names? Use the comments section below to clue us in and we'll spin a set after 9am.
Here's what we played:
Luscious Jackson are finally back with their first new album in fourteen years. It's called Magic Hour and the band stopped by Studio A to play some of the new songs (and one classic Luscious Jackson track). I also got a chance to talk with Jill Cunniff and Gabby Glaser about the new music and the changes that they've seen in the music industry and their own lives.
On November 12, 2013, On Your Radar presented a triple bill of The Levins, Moors & McCumber, and Melissa Greener at Rockwood Music Hall. Ira and Julia Levin are a married musical couple, who moved from California a couple of years ago and have been welcomed by the New York music community for their positive songs and warm harmonies.
