MP3 of the Day
Happy Birthday Justine Frischmann! Justine is probably best known as lead singer of the UK band Elastica, and Damon Albarn’s (Blur) long term girlfriend (she and Damon split-up in 1998). In 1989 Justine was dating Brett Anderson and together they formed the band Suede. She left the band in 1991. In mid 1992 she and ex-Suede band-member Justin Welch decided to form a new group. After settling on the name Elastica they released their first single, “Stutter,” in October 1993. Soon after the release of their second album, The Menace, Elastica announced an amicable break-up in 2001. From 2002-2003, Justine collaborated with her friend and flatmate M.I.A. co-writing songs for her first album Arular. Justine moved to Boulder, Colorado in 2005, where she studied visual arts at Naropa University. She now lives in San Rafael, California with her husband, who is a professor at the University of California-Davis. Today we have a live recording of the song Vaseline by Elastica. This performance is from John Peel’s radio show on the BBC in August 1993.
