Ep 24 - Song 8: "Yesterday I Was Talking to My Sister" by Jack Joe Talcum & The Powders (from the most downloaded on Bandcamp - Episode 14: Lipstick Homicide Retrospective, Part 2 of 3)

Original podcast:


Jack Joe Talcum is NOT an Iowan. But he was included on this podcast, because Rachel Feldmann of Lipstick Homicide played in his back up band, The Powders. And this was part of a tribute to Rachel's band, Lipstick Homicide.

And although Jack Joe Talcum is not an Iowan, we won't hold that against him. He is a Midwesterner. And all the members of The Powders were Iowans. In fact, put together by Iowa City musician Samuel Locke Ward and some of his Iowa City cohorts.

And in case, you don't know who Joe Jack Talcum is, he was a member of the nineties alternative band, The Dead Milkmen, before having his own solo career.

Lineup:
Joe Jack Talcum - vocals, guitars, harmonica
Grace Locke Ward - drums
Samuel Locke Ward - keyboards, guitar
Rachel Feldmann-bass

Ep 14 - Song 4: "Yesterday I Was Talking to My Sister" by Joe Jack Talcum & The Powders

"I first met Rachel when Samuel (Locke Ward) put together a band to back me up on one of my tours. I was taken right away by her bass playing style and how she locked in with Grace (Locke Ward)'s steady open drumming. I never told her what to play. She just seemed to have a natural feel for what worked. She had some Dead Milkmen song requests for the set which I would not have normally played solo, but with her on bass I obliged. Those Jack Talcum tours I did with The Powders, with Rachel on bass, are among my favorites.

"As for Lipstick Homicide, I only got to see them twice. The first time was several years ago (not sure of the year) at the end of one of my tours with Sam and Powders. I was impressed with the songs. The sound system was not the best but the songs shone through. The second time was just this past May and I was blown away by how tight they were, a fantastic show, great harmonies. (Kate was in Sam's band, the Boo-hoos, so she was on tour with us so I got to know her a bit too. Fun times.)"
