Hungry Lucy

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!!

All of our videos are now in working order on our main Hungry Lucy site. Go check ‘em out, if you haven’t already!

So, what’s on YOUR mind? Thoughts, concerns, ramblings??

After some live video stream experiments and slight techie issues, take two of TWHL #108 is ready for your ear holes. This week, Christa & War-N talk about their future plans for live video streams, performances and all. W & CB also talk about the making of the Softly video in the basement with a baby pool … fer reals (video here in the show notes)! War-N asks for comments on his latest blog post on the value of music. Christa’s OPM pick for this week is Diamanda Galas in all her delicious vocal glory. Sadly, all the pimping of Halou was lost in take 1, so we’ll just pimp Halou here in the show notes and wish them mucho congrats on their just completed US tour!

So, what’s on YOUR mind? Thoughts, concerns, ramblings??

War-N tells us all about the newest NIN release, “Ghosts“, and how it was released (under a Creative Commons license), and his thoughts on the music itself. CB fills us in on a lovely photographer Howard Schatz and his newest book, H20.The duo chat about a well done rehearsal (about bloody time) and have their confidence back to perform well at The Blacksun Festival. No sickness will keep CB from singing! Now the only problem is what to wear?!?

It’s time for Tea with Hungry Lucy! This week Christa is a bit under the weather, sadly. War-N & CB do have a brief chat though and tell us about their trip to see & hear the wonderful Sia perform in Detroit (along with opening act Har Mar Superstar). A fab show indeed!! Christa tells us about the next installment of the “Life with HL” video series (#003) that should be up at www.hungrylucy.com by the time you read this. Also mentioned were two great films … “Juno” and “La Vie en Rose” (about the singer Edith Piaf).

Edith Piaf - “Non, je ne regrette rien” (for Mum)

What? Ok, this week is a bit on the silly side, but what’s wrong with that, ay? In their coherent stage, HL discuss OPM’s of Dave Gahan and his new solo album ‘Hourglass‘. CB particularly connected with the song ‘Miracles‘. Other “m’s” were the movies “This is England” and the movie “Dark Water“. Both highly moving on totally different levels!

Guess what? CHICKEN BUTT!! No, seriously. The second episode of “Life with Hungry Lucy” is now up and available to view. #2 focuses on CB’s other interests and you get to see her in the Gnudi! The third episode will actually be available next week! Once they decide to do something, it WILL get done…eventually

A bunch of other stuff is said, strange country accents pop up out of nowhere, War-N slurs his speech thanks to Chivas Regal and clinks his ice around in a glass just for Tyim! It’s pointless to resist, so go listen now! Who the hell knows what else they talked about. They have forgotten already!

A couple of bad words are said this week, just to warn anyone too young for such things. Not any “F-bombs” though, so no worries there

Until next time…”I ain’t stud’in you!”. What are you gonna do about it??

On a particularly windy episode of Tea with Hungry Lucy, Christa and War-N chat about their chat after the Secondshifters.com interview/podcast that premiered on Saturday. You can grab the podcast mp3 and chat transcript from Secondshifters.com. Christa tells us about her Tai Chi (and Chai Tea) plans. War-N talks about prep for the upcoming HL performance at the Blacksun Festival in New Haven, CT on March 14th. OPM this week becomes other people’s munchies as Christa talks about a yumscious lunch at La Bodega in Oxford, OH. War-N has a couple of musical picks. The first being a fabulous singing laptop called Mr. Hopkinson’ s Computer (thanks Grant) and the second being another of War-N’s electronic music inspirations, Jean Michel Jarre and his new Oxygene “Live in Your Living Room” DVD. Videos of both are below (or here if you can’t see ‘em).

In episode 102 of Tea with Hungry Lucy, Christa and War-N talk about a weekend of shooting video for the upcoming series of video podcasts (next week). We also hear a preview of yet another new song, entitled “Just Imagine” that was penned just 24 short hours prior. Christa tells us about the inspiration for the lyrics and War-N spouts some oddness about space cars and sharp angles. Sometimes it’s hard to know what goes on it that boy’s head! OPMs this week delve into Yazoo and their upcoming reunion tour and DVD as well as Halou and their new EP “Sawtooth” available on Feb 12th. Recent film viewings shared by Christa are “Black Snake Moan” and “The Last King of Scotland” … both excellent films. Then Christa goes off to prepare a delicious Gnudi dinner that War-N films!

Tune in to SecondShifters.com next Saturday, Feb. 16th at 10 PM EST for an interview with Hungry Lucy. Immediately following the interview will be a live chat with War-N and Christa.

In episode 101 of Tea with Hungry Lucy, the nonsense once again flows like fine whining. The duo tell us about the fun afternoon spent with family from down under. War-N and CB also tell us about a new song in the works and even share some delicious vocal layers with us. We then discover (and hear) that War-N sounds a little bit like a muted trumpet … how odd! Hungry Lucy will be producing a new video podcast in the next couple of weeks. They want YOU to let them know what you want to see. For other people’s music this week, Christa delves into the nice breaths of Julee Cruise and her work in David Lynch’s films. War-N tells us about the new single from Goldfrapp’s forth-coming album “Seventh Tree” called “A and E” (as well as Alison’s delicious, thigh-high boots!). We are also curious about the origins of the chucklesome faux-gameshow “Numberwang“.

Props to all the fine folks that our inluding Hungry Lucy’s music in their YouTube creations. Some really cool stuff up there.

So, tell us…what do you want to see if our next video podcast?

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?
