Hungry Lucy

This week, the duo explain their most recent “Life with Hungry Lucy” episode about the new song called “Erase Her”. You may view said video at this link. In their travels of the week, vinyl is rediscovered in a glorious way and new OPM’s are found! CB’s new (but old) finding was Demis Roussos. A lovely large fella with a sweet voice, who (we are happy to learn) is still going strong. War-N’s OPM’s this week are Coldplay and their new free release “Violet Hill” and Clara Rockmore. Clara was THE theremin player of all theremin players! See for yourself down below.

Many other fine tidbits are mentioned. You’ll just have to listen for yourself! You can also go see what Christa Belle is thinking and how War-N is twittering.

Until next week, not everyone is Lily Allen!!

Why, or why not?

Tea with Hungry Lucy, Episode 113 ends with a performance of “Shine” (originally from the album, “To Kill a King“). This version is just electric piano, hammered dulcimer and Christa’s delicious vocals. Rather un-electronic for Hungry Lucy. Before the performance, though Christa goes on a rant about a newly opened local “restaurant” that the pair visited on their Sunday of attempted creativity boosting. War-N and Christa take a personal trip down memory lane and tell us about the apartment from hell in which they used to live. in the “other people’s music” segment, War-N talks about trip-hop pioneer’s Portishead and their very challenging, but rather clever new album “Third“. CB & War-N also talk about MP3 vs. CD vs. vinyl.

Do you still buy vinyl, or is it ancient history?

Any Twitter-folk out there? Why not follow War-N’s ramblings? It’s fun. You can point and laugh.

Portishead - Machine Gun (Live on Jools Holland)

In this week’s Tea with Hungry Lucy War-N & Christa share a preview of a new song (working title: Pajamas), likely title “The Best Day of Her Life”. We get to hear the original noisy piano recording, and the newly arranged music. Christa talks about her bad week, that ends with a nice family time on Saturday. Christa also talks about her preference for listening to music she can sing along with. War-N does the opposite, but did enjoy Christa’s effort in singing along with “Golden Boy” by Severed Heads … frightening!

So, tell us…suggestions for the next live podcast performance?

Severed Heads - “We Have Come to Bless This House” (1985)

This week’s Tea with Hungry Lucy is high on the insanity meter! A mix of emotions this week as Christa and War-N talk about the therapeutic benefits of making music as well as the confidence struggles it can sometimes bring to the surface. For the OPM segment this week, Christa chats about Michael Jackson’s “She’s Out of My Life” that she received via lala.com. War-N talks about the film “August Rush” that he found high on the sap factor, but was still in tears by movie’s end. Christa rounded out the episode with some Veggie Ragu talk which made us all hungry and brought the podcast to a hasty end.

So, tell us…anything you’d like to add, edit or delete from the podcast?

With a spankingly wonderful recording session comes a new tag line to tease your ear ‘oles! Angela, CB’s eldest sister, came up to record her vocals for the song she co-wrote called “Erase Her” and contributed much more than anticipated! You can hear more about that when you listen to this podcast!!

The OPM’s this week were a blast from the past with Janet Jackson, Rhythm Nation to be precise, and Ketty Lester (CB’s link to Little House on the Prairie AND David Lynch all in the same person). War-N’s delicious nugget from the 80’s was Hazel O’Connor, specifically the song “Eighth Day”. Both Christa and War-N raved about the film “Once” which you must watch immediately! Much more was mentioned, but it’s time for food. Go have a listen and find out for yerself!!
