Jellyfish - Hollywood CA - 10/??/1990 [zip file]Jellyfish is one of my all time favorite bands and they are responsible for putting out two of what I consider to be the greatest albums ever recorded, Bellybutton and Spilt Milk. Jellyfish was a band that was way ahead yet at the same time behind their time. They were retro before there was even a term for it. They looked like a 1960’s cartoo.
Nobody's perfect, especially pop stars. A rush of creativity might mean that details get overlooked, and remain uncorrected.Here's a few examples of things gone slightly awry in some of our favourite music. I'm working on a bigger magazine piece along these lines, so if any Mogger has additional suggestions I'd be very interested to hear about them.*DAVID BOWIE : Life On Mars*Turn up the volume...
Jellyfish - Live at The Catalyst - 08/02/1991 MP3s [zip file]It's really a shame that there is such a small amount of "live stuff" out there for Jellyfish.

Right now... 4:30 can't come soon enough - I am listening to *Jellyfish's Russian Hill* & I just want to be behind the wheel of my car drivin home...Sure, I am trying my best not to go above the speed limit - not for the sake of safety - for the sake of gas... it cost me $50 to fill up late last week & I want to conserve that expensive elixir that makes cars go.But were it not for the cost, wer...
Jellyfish was a power pop wonder, whose influence still rings through the genre today. Not Lame put out a 4-CD Jellyfish box set a few years ago - quite the endeavor for a group who only released 2 CDs before they broke up.The opening track of their CD "Spilt Milk" was a mostly a capella number called "Hush" which, for some reason, they kind of mucked up with silence, sound effects and god-know...

Found this live clip of Jellyfish from BBC Later... with Jools Holland 14th May 1993.It got me thinking about musicians who sing and drum at the same time. Anyone out there got any other examples?
