Morning Becomes Eclectic – Chrissie Hynde & JP Jones

Good morning everyone!

Found these postings in my in-box re: Chrissie Hynde and JP Jones and the Fairground Boys taping a show for Morning Becomes Eclectic – KCRW. Scrolling through, I saw that Lu was in attendance. Sorry this is cryptic. I will try to find out more details, but wanted to post this now while I had the chance. 🙂

Chrissie and JP Jones and the Fairground Boys will be filming and recording something tonight that
will be going up on a KCRW:

Live studio session at Bob Clearmountain’ s studio in Santa Monica.

This will be filmed and recorded and mixed by Bob Clearmountain to be
featured on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic on May 1st. The video
will live on KCRW website ( http://www.kcrw. com ) and will remain in
their video archives indefinitely.

8 song list tonight – all 7 from last night + 1 cover. Won’t tell you
what it was (it will be on the broadcast), but it was not a Pretenders song.

Interview with CH and JP was extremely forthright and candid. Extremely
forthright and candid I repeat. Well worth listening to when it is
broadcast. All I’ll tell you is that the angst on this record is all
based on real experiences; real and I’d say somewhat melancholy
experiences. Listen to the interview, you’ll get the picture. Sad yes,
but the take away from it is the fine body of songs which as JP said in
the interview “will live on”. Spot on JP. CH referred to Jimmy
Iovine twice as “evil”. Bob Clearmountain (whose studio this all took
place in) agreed to mix the finished product.

Like last night, CH was so obviously enthused by the new material and
this collaboration. Lucinda Williams there tonight as last night (sorry
sight – rode hard and put up wet) as well as Rosanna Arquette again (who
conducted a part of the interview). Saw Clem Burke and Frank Infante
from Blondie last night as well. Big deal.

CH thought they were better last night which I disagreed with her on. I
actually thought tonight was a bit better, a bit more polished. 24
hours to sleep on the songs helped them I’d say. Made a pretty
convincing argument in defense of tonight to her and she seemed to
agree. Oh well whatever.

100 of us maximum in audience.

All thanks to LB – who made sure I got in tonight. THANKS AGAIN LB.

As always, it’s good to love this fine artist. She never lets me down.
Never.

Oh yes, also saw Eric Heywood last night who interestingly didn’t look
like he had s;slept in his clothes for once. Must have been because his
wife was there and probably won’t let him out of the house looking like
that.
