It's time for some singin' in the rain as wintry weather conditions threaten to dampen Irish spirits.
Singer/actress/model/gay icon Grace Jones put out an album in 2008, but a physical release never reached U.S. shores, despite it producing hits overseas and plenty of critical praise. Her shows in Los Angeles and New York in 2009 were also well received. For whatever reason, perhaps the rise of Lady Gaga, Hurricane will now become Jones' first U.S. release in 22 years, following 19892s Bulletproof Heart . Hurricane , produced by Jones and Ivor Guest, comes out September 6th via [PIAS] America . It features such guests as Brian Eno, [...]
One of the intimidating things about getting older is the realization that no matter what you do, one day, you're going to end up as that poor schmuck on the wrong side of the generation gap. One day you're the voice of a generation and the owner of the quickest-selling album of all time, the next you're recording an album of ukulele songs . Unless, of course, you happen to be one of the ten people we've catalogued below, who have the irritating tendency to somehow get cooler as they get older. Some of them started out as massive [...]
Smoke that cigarette! This morning I woke up to a lovely post from our friend MuuMuse about the U.S. release of '082s Hurricane. It's been 22 years since the trendsetting Grace Jones has released an album in the states. The September 6th release will include a bonus disc of dub versions of all nine tracks from the album. The collection includes Sunset Sunrise , which is being given away as a free mp3 download. DOWNLOAD [...]
Let's talk guilty pleasures. I love love love Grace Jones as a musical artist. Which is odd, because I can take or leave her as an actress. Records like Warm Leatherette and Nightclubbing are forbidden nourishment, and if you've ever been out on the town with me when some unsuspecting DJ tosses on Pull Up To The Bumper or I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango) , I profusely apologize for what you likely witnessed. That being said, it seems [...]

Grace Jones - "Sunset Sunrise" The band that plays on the album includes artists such as Brian Eno, Sly & Robbie and Tricky.
Some of you out there weren't even born yet when Grace Jones last released an album in America. George Bush the elder was still President when Bulletproof Heart came out, for God's sake! Of course, as is the case with so many other cool artistic artifacts, Hurricane — Jones's first album since 1989 — was first heard in Europe. For some inexplicable reason, it's taken three years for the record to reach American shores, but reach them it has, at long last. On September 8th, America will be hit by a mighty Hurricane [...]

J'aime bien Brigitte R. aussi, mais elle c'est ma tante, et elle ne fait pas (encore) de musique. Brigitte Fontaine, c'est un monument de la chanson française. Ma première découverte [...]
By request, a Cover Story honoring the music of Grace Jones, who has never shied away from a provocative cover (or a provocative look)! There's no doubt that Grace puts her own spin on every cover she performs, and you'll hear a lot of them on the show tonight, along with a few covers of her best known songs! 59 minutes | Featuring: [...]
Photo by G. Grace Jones Ladies and gentlemen... Miss Grace Jones. Grace Jones celebrates her 63rd birthday today and we wish her a very happy one. I wouldn't have thought it at the time, but her concert a couple of years ago was one of the best shows I've ever been to. The crowd went absolutely nuts, everyone was decked out in crazy outfits, but none as crazy as Grace Jones'. In fact, she changed outfits after each song - with each succeeding outfit being more outrageous [...]

I was listening to one of my all time favorites, Grace Jones the other day and remembered this housey version we used to play way back when... Some versions are made so well they don't tarnish the original. MP3 Farm Boy - Move (320K) (ge.tt)
Punk rock grandfather Iggy Pop turns 64 today and to celebrate we post a collection of covers of his tunes.
