A Q&A with Ben Cooper! (via Inside The Jukebox: Radical Face « The Wounded Jukebox)
The Wounded Jukebox We’re really not sure how one wounds a jukebox, but we bet the Fonze would know. While we work on getting some answers you should probably head over and start listening.
He might not be a household name, but Jordan Geiger’s got the musical chops to strike out on his own. Geiger’s been a member of some lovely indie bands, namely The Appleseed Cast, Shearwater and Minus Story. And now his solo project, Hospital Ships, seems poised to grab those same fans by the heart and never let them go. That is, if “Honey, Please” is any indication.

The simple, chugging synth-born rhythm and keyboard accompaniment are just the kind of things that get people dancing. Once again, this song would fit PERFECTLY on any hot-blooded 80′s romance movie with a dramatic montage — one where things get all serious, and the only way for the filmmaker to move the story along is with clips of the main character coming of age. Last time, we gave you a quote from Tyson himself about his motivation for “Out Of My Mind.” Well, he’s got another philosophical take on his newest track, which you can download FREE below.
“I wanted to make a romantic thriller about the death of love. Love isn’t always flowers and chocolates and in my case it’s always been death. I just wanted to know if anyone else felt that way without it sounding all cliché.”
What an evil, evil, sadistic, terrible couple they are. Not Jordan Koplowitz and Reed Juenger of Beat Connection. They’re straight up gents. Nay, I mean the couple in the clip for “In The Water”, directed by Christian Petersen and Joe Wain. Oh sure the striped pair seem to be on a jaunt around town, holding hands and never straying an inch from one another. But once they reach their destination, you see just how close they really are. At least the folks over at dumbeyes.com didn’t take the song too literally. I was petrified that they couple would suddenly uncover fins and dive under the depths. Literality – *shudder*.
