Weren't they an underrated band? - when I think that Spice Shit have sold millions of records - my favourite album is Electric Honey
Thanks to you I've had a nervous breakthrough

This is one of my favorite bands of all time. Natural Ingredients is the damn bomb.

I really liked them for a while...but had forgotten all about them

I was introduced to them at the second stage at a Lollapalooza..they were terrific live!

Luscious Jackson are one of the greatest ever and went overlooked. I remember bumpin them like crazy in high school. In Search of Manny was kickass, Natural Ingredients was even better. Electric Honey and the other one were great too! Great, Great Band.

Did you ever get the Kostars album when it came out? It was (i think) Jill Cuniff and Vivian doing an all acoustic thing. It is fantastic if you can find it.

I have never heard of Kostars until now, thanks for the info

Beloved is my favorite song by them.

Saw you by the avenue
selling ends and means
full of incidents and schemes
when you lied and when you lagged
you were such a drag
but I loved you like a friend
Beloved
Make it feel like summer
make it feel like summertime
Beloved
I'm coming undone sonny
in the danger of the ride

I liked to lie out in the wind
calling love and sin
sympathetic pharmacies
I tried to make it right
coming straight from Hell
preacher without a prayer for myself

It is a really good acoustic album. If you like Luscious Jackson, you will like Kostars too. It is really hard to find so if you cant find it online anywhere, send me an orgnote and I will burn a copy for you.

I've just realised that I was confusing Jill and Gabrielle, silly me ( Jill is cute too but Gabrielle )

I kinda like them. Ive only got Electic Honey though.

What made me like them was Naked Eye I think that song is well cool.

Wearing nothing is devine, naked is a state of mind
I take things off to clear my head to say the things I haven't said
I live inside the elements the the earth and sky are my best friends
Water is the evidence that washes me from end to end

With my naked eye I saw the falling rain
Coming down on me
With my naked eye I saw
If I said it all I could see

I 2 agree with jn2, Jill is cute and even more so than Gabrielle.

JD, if you like Naked Eyes get Fever In Fever Out or at least the terrific track Under Your Skin
you'll thank me later

Man, I was in love with Gabby when I was in high school. I think I still have the water bottle she gave me when I saw them at the Trocadero in Philly in 94. She actually drank out of it! It's funny the things you hold on to as a kid. Just a little adolescant boy swooning over the hot Gabby Glacier.

This song kind of haunts me. It's excellent.

i really hope this excellent band finds another label since grand royal went out of business.

ironically, i was listening to "lp retreat" from this band when i found this topic.
