Lux Interior, the charismatic front-man of the highly influential, husband-and-wife, garage-punk band The Cramps sadly passed away from a pre-existing heart condition at Glendale Memorial Hospital at 4:30am this Wednesday February 4, 2009.
There's a cool mix I found awhile back made by a fan, of every song Lux and Ivy's have ever played before a show, covered, or mentioned that they liked in an interview. I recommend it, even if The Cramps aren't your cup of tea, what they were inspired by might be.
It started as a way to keep track of some of the songs Lux , and or Ivy, mentioned in THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE MUSIC BOOK. It was never really intended as anything but a way for a friend of mine and me to have 2 really kick ass compilations.
So we went about the arduous process of finding all the songs mentioned in that interview. It took a loooong time. We used the file sharing program, Napster, as well as our own personal collections.
So, one thing leads to another and when word got around that these compilations were out there, they started being traded from fan to fan to fan. So at some point I decided to put them up on Napster and let anyone who wanted them have them.
As the years went buy, more interviews with Lux and Ivy kept popping up, and the list of songs they mentioned got longer and longer. This resulted in new volumes.
