Oh yeah, i remember! i had such a crush on a boy when i was in 9th grade who went to the private school locally and he played piano and introduced me to all the joe jackson that i could get my hands on. my dad even started stealing my albums/tapes for his commute in the car to and from work.

and you're right - underrated, for sure. such a talented musician.

Another one by him (1979), greatly overlooked. ;-)

Not to ever forget his "Slow Song"...

I think he's been among the most underrated musicians on the scene, ever.

I know. This one seems to be the only one song published so far.

Reminding me of Monty Python...

That song (by Louis Jordan) is not on this new release (yes, not "new music") by Joe Jackson.

Mr. Joe Jackson presents: Max Champion in 'What A Racket!'


'What A Racket!' - a new album reviving the songs of enigmatic early 20th-century English Music Hall artist Max Champion.

that ultimately should fall back on him (sound engineer first tho)
he's a bit of a one man band/on the spot performer too

JFW and I went to a Shakey Graves show several years ago just to see what he was all about... the sound in the venue was literally ear-splitting. I sought refuge off to the side, behind a few obstructions, but wound up slinking out to the lobby, where Justine had already fled. As I turned around to look at the room, it was almost empty. So I still don't know what this Shakey Graves is all about. I guess I should try to get over it.

Post punk seems to be where it's at. Specifially, anything that gets the nod from Dan Carey / speedywunderground.

There's some cool stuff coming out of  Aus, too.

See King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard for an eclectic roller coaster.

Or D. D Dumbo for some more mellow sounds.
