Happy Friday! We’ve got a special geeky somethin

Happy Friday! We’ve got a special geeky something for you today.
Longtime followers might remember our evolving "Songs for Movie Screens" playlist, featuring our cinematic covers of classics or deep cuts from the past 100 Years. We’ve now reworked it for the musically curious, leading off with our latest single “This Train” and other releases to date … then adding a glorious bunch of musical context.
"Songs for Movie Screens 🎬 GEEK EDITION" (link in bio) includes not only the original versions from across the decades by the artists who inspired our choices but also other stellar acts’ remarkable covers of the same repertoire, alongside a handful of our own bonus mixes.
Did you know, for instance, that “This Train” was first recorded in 1922 as “Dis Train” by the generously monikered Florida Normal and Industrial Institute Quartette and, 90 years later, interpolated by Springsteen on his rousing “Land of Hope and Dreams”?
Or that our take on ’50s evergreen “Old Cape Cod” was motivated by Groove Armada's brilliant sampling of Patti Page’s velvet vocals, 2 1/2 minutes into their breakthrough “At the River”? The latter was originally released in a pressing of only 500 singles in 1997, but the GA duo knew what they had and re-released the single, then featured it again on ✨both of their first two albums✨. Ballsy or what?
Sorry. We did warn you. Yea verily, the geeks may not actually inherit the earth but we’ll have a particularly thrilling time while we’re here. 🤓

One of the most joyful parts of the recording process for “This Train” has been collaboration with such amazing talent.
Jewelle Blackman (@elleshelley) stopped by our NY apartment to sing harmonies and ad libs for our electronic-pop/rock-gospel ode to the 1920s.
Thank you, Jewelle, for lending us your incredible tones (and octaves)! And very much luck in your next adventure, as you head back to Toronto after 6 years in "Hadestown." NYC and the show will miss you! Visit often. ❤️
Thanks also to Hayden Kline for engineering our session with JB.

Now that our musical time travel machine has lande

Now that our musical time travel machine has landed us square in the 20s, its time to have a gander at our fashion in music ICONS! Who better to launch us into the roaring 20’s than the inimitable Josephine Baker?
American born French singer/actress, Baker made history as the first Black woman to star in a motion picture (Siren of the Tropics).
She refused to perform for segregated audiences and is heralded for her contributions to the civil rights movement as well as aiding the French resistance as a spy in WWII.
She had an obvious flare for the dramatic as expressed all the way through to her choice in pets, included dogs, cats, fish, parrots, a cheetah named Chiquita, chimpanzee, parakeet, snake, a pig named Albert and a goat named Toutoute.
Nothing more fashionable than love and compassion for all humans and animals!!
We adore Josephine Baker AND her stunning fashion sense.
Which fit would you borrow from your bestie Jo??
