I don't see how six erect firemen help in case of emergency. Less than two weeks of this rambling nonsense to go, you'll be pleased to here. One of the plans was to use these posts to stick stuff on the blog that would normally be ludicrously out of place, hand waving it away by going "it's my birthday soon, sod off" and I think that I've achieved that goal pretty well. Very few of the songs have been new, and only a couple of the days have covered Scottish [...]

When talking about the origins of The Walkmen, people often mention Paul Maroon, Walter Martin and Matt Barrick's previous group Jonathan Fire*Eater as an important source of musical style and sensibility. But Hamilton Leithauser and Peter Bauer were also in a band together, The Recoys , and while they didn't garner the major label attention lavished on Jonathan Fire*Eater, they did record a small but saavy collection of swinging and inspired rock and roll tunes. The group's out of print EP and a collection of songs destined for a future unfinished LP were released together for the [...]
Jonathan Fire*Eater Sudsy Malone's Cincinnati, OH 7/24/97 We had a request a couple months back to post this show for someone who had the great fortune of actually being in attendance. I saw Jonathan Fire*Eater a couple of times on this same tour, once in Seattle at a bizarre club with the widest yet narrowest stage I have ever seen and also at the 400 Club in Minneapolis. Enjoy this set from what was nearing the end of their reign as one of the most influential bands of the '90s. [...]

Garage punk gospel is what Toronto's Deadly Snakes delivered on their 2003 record Ode To Joy . The band— broken up since 2006—achieved a sort of delirious rapture on that record: a wild-eyed organ-humming sound that could have been recorded on the wooden pew of an old abandoned church. With songs like "I Want To Die" and "There Goes Your Corpse Again," they were like an equally morbid and charming cousin of Jonathan Fire*Eater: one that read too many comic books, smoked too many cigarettes and was always fidgeting with something on his mind. [...]
Jonathan Fire*Eater Phantasmagoria Wheaton, MD 8/10/96 If you're a regular TSOI reader, you will notice there hasn't been a "Monday Set" posted in quite some time. I have to blame that on AT&T's general shoddy DSL service here in Southern California, uTorrent on Windows 7 causing me ALL KINDS of connection issues and my general laziness. The combination of the three proved deadly for TSOI. Well, The Monday Set is back today and with what I consider one of the serious gems from my collection. If you look back in the archive, [...]
On Saturday night at the Rock and Roll Hotel, Stewart Lupton - the Icarus of D.C. rock mythology - took a look back at his career thus far, and said it was good. Then he resolved to keep pushing forward as a musician and poet, and as Lex Paulson began chiming in with a familiar [...]
Before the Walkmen were the Walkmen, they were Jonathan Fire*Eater; before the scorching screams of Hamilton Leithauser's vocals, there were the frenzied slurs of Stewart Lupton's. A lightning bolt of musical tenacity and originality, Jonathan Fire*Eater took the unusual path of shunning mainstream success, lasting only a year into their contract with Geffen Records before disbanding. But they live on nevertheless—in their recordings, the sounds of the Walkmen and Lupton's Child Ballads. Jonathan Fire*Eater - "Give Me Daughters" (from Tremble Under Boom Lights ) The Walkmen - "We've Been [...]
The Walkmen sont le rock'n roll, le vrai, celui qu'on fait avec les tripes
Don't get me wrong, I love mp3s: they don't clutter up your living room like CDs, they're easier to travel with as many of them fit on one's small Ipod, and they don't skip when you hit a bump in a car. The downside of mp3 though is that you miss out on the cover art which can, at times, provide insight into the songs or the artist (or sometimes even make you some money ). Interesting cover art can also be the thing that gets you to listen to a disc if the artist is [...]
I’ve always said that, when asked, and as long as the request is a nice one and not a demand, then I’m more than happy to re-post songs previously featured on TVV. And so it is with great pleasure that I give a positive response to my dear friend Ed of 17 Seconds fame who just yesterday, when he left behind some nice words on the Abba/Ash posting, asked for this gem:- mp3 : Robert Wyatt with

Even though we already posted this twice, this is a good example of the sad fact that internet memes hit everybody at different times. Sometimes I pretend like I haven't heard of it before - oh, really, Kobe said that ? - and sometimes I stop the offender with a quick "Don't you know that I am the internet!" Fortunately the e-mail in question breaks it down pretty good. [...]
I've wanted to post today's song up for quite a while. And as I'm feeling lazy this morning, the next few paragraphs are all ripped from the band's entry at wikipedia. Jonathan Fire*Eater was an indie rock band from Washington DC but based in New York City. The line-up was Stewart Lupton (vocals), Tom Frank (bass), Paul Maroon (guitar and slide), Matt Barrick (drums) and Walter Martin (organs,
A reader named Taylor wrote in, enthusing about the fact that he was able to find the Jonathan Fire-Eater song, "The Search for Cherry Red," here at Timedoor: "Dude, I've been looking for the J*F*E songs off that rockin' EP for ages now. I had the CD a while ago, but it got stolen... and since it's no longer in print, I can't find it. Thanks. Those songs are the best ones they ever recorded."

Jonathan Fire*Eater - The Search for Cherry Red Jonathan Fire*Eater - Give Me Daughters C'était il y a 10 ans, déjà (aïe, mon dos!). Mes amis écoutaient tous Jon Spencer Blues Explosion . Moi, j'adorais l'attitude, l'énergie, mais ses albums me faisaient globalement chier. Puis il y a eu Jonathan Fire*Eater. Le Jon Spencer du mec qui aiment les Smiths. [...]
