Late to the Party, Last to Know
The internet, of course, has vastly accelerated the news cycles and created a culture of (near-) instantaneous feedback and gratification.
Unfortunately, this hasn't helped me one bit when it comes to staying current on music. (Sign of incipient demise?) Despite the thick flow of choice packets up and down the information superhighway, I have a special way of remaining completely in the dark when it comes to the BIG NEWS on the music and culture front. No matter how many sites I click through, or how compulsive I am about checking the various "feeds" (what am I, livestock?) and blogs which interest me, there's always some golden nugget that eludes me until long after it ceases to be anything new. I'm like the guy who suddenly blurts out at the supermarket, "Hey, look!" Plastic bags!" Everybody knows, and nobody cares.
So anyway, here's a tidbit which completely eluded me from December 2009.
Jawbox, one of the all-time great bands out of Washington, DC, got back together, albeit briefly, for a charged performance on the Jimmy Fallon Show. The one-off gig was undertaken to coincide with the re-release of 1994's For Your Own Special Sweetheart, a transcendental document which I can't recommend strongly enough.
Some videos from the performance:
1. "Savory" (a song I played last fall on the Civil Disobedience Hour)
Jawbox - Savory (Late Night With Jimmy Fallon)
Uploaded by HightowerAndJones. - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.
2. "FF=66"
