The 100th episode of Tea with Hungry Lucy … who would have thought such nonsense could last? This week, Christa and War-N slack off by letting everyone else run the show. We hear from fellow podcasters, musicians and all-around great people. We also hear the first version of a brand-new Hungry Lucy song called “Forever More” along with Christa and War-N’s plans for polishing it up.
Thanks for continuing to listen … 100 more podcasts (and songs) are coming your way. Any requests?
What did HL talk about this episode? Well, there was Howard Jones, Howard Jones and uh Howard Jones! Just back, literally, from the road on a trip to Pittsburgh, the duo settle back into a warm house with a nice little chat. Other than HoJo madness, CB mentions an unusual OPM (in this case Other People’s Market’s) in the form of Jungle Jim’s International Market. A mainstay in Christa’s culinary adventures, she just wanted to “shoutout” to the man in the cape for sticking with small business since 1974! Thanks, Jim!
What the SMEG is this? It’s beautiful, it’s functional and it’s in the kitchen! What Christa thought was Italian is actually British. Oops!
Also, a BIG thanks to Ellie for allowing two total strangers to sit front and center at the Howard Jones show at her table! It was lovely to meet you and hope you made it back to Wisconsin safely You made the experience even that much cooler!
Hey…you should grab the original version of ‘Glo‘ while you still can. After this bunch runs out, the double-disc will no longer be available!! A single disc version will be put in its place. This is all in the hopes to draw more folks to the lovely songs on the album and make it more affordable for YOU! Oh yeah. Don’t forget we still have a bunch of t-shirts and hoodies available for your lovely body to wear!
See ya next week on the 100th episode of Tea with Hungry Lucy!! Thanks for listening all these episodes! You’ve made it great
Click the Outshouts logo on the above widget to go and hear the whole song. I didn’t realize the widget only plays 30 seconds of the song … annoying! :/
Nasal voices, many belches and a funny misunderstanding whilst making the tea! Just a few of the topics mentioned on this week’s TWHL! CB lets us know that her DVD making is done and she can now send them off to their respectful recipients! Aren’t you glad you know this? War-N shares the enthusiasm of his new toy, BFD2, and the delicious drumminess that will follow on new HL tunage. OPM’s of the week are Antony and the Johnsons, which was CB’s pick, and their song “Hope There’s Someone” (from the “I Am a Bird Now” album). Go watch the live video below! War-N’s pick was Sia and her new album “Some People Have Real Problems“. Her very bizarre video for the song “Buttons” is also below. A luscious videofest!
We’re still yearning to hear from you and what you think of TWHL. We want to air your views on our podcast (good, bad or otherwise!) for exposure in the 100th episode. Only a couple of weeks left to really let us have it in the ear’oles!
Ending this jam-packed episode is a live performance of the song “Good Girl” from the album “To Kill A King“. Listen as the subtle piano and gentle vocals lull you to sleep, or bring tears to your eyes. Either way, it’s lovely.
Speaking of live performances, go vote NOW for a live Hungry Lucy internet concert at DeepRockDrive! Don’t you want to see HL perform exactly what you want to hear? Get any camera angle you want? Answer questions via live chat? Then go on and vote for it, silly!! They have to reach 1000 Votes to be able to do the show. Tell a friend, tell your Mom. Tell everyone to vote now! That is followed with a please, of course
Lyrics to the new 2008 Jingles! You wanted ‘em, you got ‘em!

OPM
with you
OPM

OPMMMMMMMMM
TWHL Intro:
What are ya doin’ today
(HEY)
I’m havin’ tea with my friends
They’re silly and funny and ever so nice
Did I mention that they’re in a band?
(WHAA?)
We all sit ’round jus’ talkin’ bout fings
And some of it’s really quite juicy
(OOHH)
You really should come and enjoy all the fun
and have TEA!
With Hungry Lucy
(‘ting’)
Carmen has assembled a beautiful video for our song “A Girl Alone” (from the “Before We Stand…” EP). I’m not sure of the source of all the imagery, but it’s really quite stunning.
Episode 97 of Tea with Hungry Lucy kicks the year off right with tacky new jingles to arouse you and make you titter with delight! This week, Christa and War-N discuss the news the Sony/BMG (the last major label hold-out) has decided to throw in the towel and stop copy-protecting their music. About time we say! Hungry Lucy was featured on the Coverville podcast recently as well (see related blog post) … neato. War-N talks about DeepRockDrive which is an odd name, but interesting concept allowing music fans to petition to get their fave bands to do a live web concert. Interested in having Hungry Lucy do something like that? OPM this week covers Queen (we owe them) and dan le sac VS scroobius pip and their songs “Thou Shalt Always Kill” (video below) and “Letter from God to Man“. Fabulous wordsmith meets groovy beats … we think it’s nice. How about you?
Next week on the podcast, Hungry Lucy will perform their song “Good Girl” … won’t you join us?

Hungry Lucy was recently featured on the excellent “Coverville” podcast that focused on the New Order/Joy Division cover story (#407). Our 2001 cover of New Order’s “Love Vigilantes” was included. We originally produced this track for a New Order tribute CD called “True Faith: A Tribute to New Order”. The compilation was released by Synthphony Records in 2001 (Amazon/iTunes).
I always liked our cover of this song. We took it to the total opposite end of the mood spectrum (on purpose). Christa’s lush harmonies on this track are absolutely delicious and I’m convinced she was channeling Enya during the last half of the recording. Christa has always wanted to perform this track live, but for some reason we haven’t. Perhaps we’ll slip it into some live sets this year.
You can also hear our version of “Love Vigilantes” via The Covers Project.
In case you’re not familiar with the original track:
Many thanks to Brian Ibbott for including us on his excellent podcast!
