Ladyfingers
(Luscious Jackson cover)
I recorded this sometime in the spring or summer of 2003, while P*S*K were working on the "Revenge" record. For some reason there was a pile of discarded, warped, 12-inch singles of this song left on the floor outside our rehearsal space and I nabbed one. Fell in love with this song instantly, especially the Kut Masta Kurt remix. Luscious Jackson were a cool band. I hope I did the tune some justice. I played around with the chords a bit and made it my own. You're Never Gonna Win -6/19/03 It's a sad song, but a true song. I deliberately went for more "conventional" chord progression in the chorus of this one. I like the way it came out. Cats and Cockatoos -6/19/03 A simple confection, made up entirely of nonsense lyrics. Inspired by Def Leppard's great song "Photograph." Can you hear that? Written Out of the Plot -7/31/03 P*S*K were hard at work on the Revenge album at this time and I wasn't writing much. But this little gem fell out of me one night. Definitely a bit out of character, this song has something of a roots rock flavor, with a chorus that sounds a bit like R.E.M., circa Life's Rich Pageant. Kiss the Ground -11/03 The first song I wrote following the completion of The Revenge of P*S*K. I'm crazy about it. We added it to our live show earlier this year and I can't wait to record it "for real." Paper Dolly -12/7/03 Inspired by German dance act 2Ramwohnung, this is about a girl I know. It's not a fluff piece. She's really shallow and annoying. They'll Chase Behind -12/11/03 This was inspired by Marshall Crenshaw, a master pop songwriter. I love his mobile melodies, so I tried to write one here. |
