The Squirrel Nut Zippers are finally returning to shore with the forthcoming release of their new album Lost At Sea. The album is the band’s first new release in nine years. Lost At Sea (Southern Broadcasting/MRI) also shares the distinction of being the band’s first ever live album as well.Recorded live at Southpaw, in Brooklyn NY, the Squirrel Nut Zippers performed many of their greatest h

Lost at Sea is fun enough, but it mainly serves as a placeholder until the band's new material sees the light of day.When the Squirrel Nut Zippers emerged from Chapel Hill, North Carolina in the mid-'90s as the unwilling face of the swing revival, they also found themselves at the center of a debate between fans, who found the band's take on '20s and '30s hot jazz to be refreshing, and purists,...

Since my son is a little older now, we've been letting him watch some TV in the mornings. As I'm getting ready for work I often find myself stopping what I'm doing and getting sucked into Sesame Street. I have had no reason to watch it for many moons, but I am delighted by the many levels of humor that exist within it's frame work. The great thing is that my son can enjoy it, but there are s...

This dovetails with a couple of Teresa's post awhile back about bands she had to break to her son that were no more, and her love of old time cartoon.Been using YouTube to catch up on some of the videos etc. that my non-tv lifestyle has caused.Finally had the sense to type in Squirrel Nut Zippers and found this vid for "The Ghost of Stephen Foster" an EXCELLENT vid as well as a GREAT song.I sta...

Swingers was a great movie, no doubt...butI could do without Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and most espicially bands like the Cherry Poppin Daddies.I know BBVD are legit and still doing what they do, but it was li...

Good morning, dear Moggers, and happy friday. Thought I'd start the day off on a festive note ... I was thinking that I'd like to buy each and every one of you a song, but suffice to say there are far too many of you. Ergo, the following belly laugh will have to suffice. Enjoy!

What's Halloween without a trip to Hell? I always had a soft spot for this song, the keystone of the don't-blink-or-you'll-miss-it late '90's hot jazz revival. Surely, though, when he says "Teeth are extruded" he means "Teeth are extracted." Right? I mean, teeth are extruded isn't all that horrifying--what, were they squeezed into a toothpaste tube? Anyway, I was just going to post the MP3...

He has already apologized for wanting to do this. Jackson voiced his figurative surgical ambitions in the wake of inflammatory remarks made by Obama to the effect that "fathers should be around to help raise their kids."I had to check three media sources before I found out what Jackson actually said. Because of this widespread and self-imposed censorship, I assumed Jackson had uttered the d...

Simply a donation to the Zipper's artist lounge. Does not look like "Hell" has ever been posted as an mp3. And it should be, because it's pretty farkin' good.Here's my obligatory anecdote: A boss axed me a decade ago if I liked jazz, like old jazz. I axed in return, you mean like The Hot Five? No she said. Like The Squirrel Nut Zippers. Despite this introduction I do like them.(In fact,...
