Welcome to the premiere episode of Nakedly Examined Music, where a songwriter and I go in depth on three of his or her songs. David is the lead singer of Camper van Beethoven and Cracker, and has of late been a music business professor and a major advocate for artists’ rights, even testifying before Congress. The three songs we discuss are: * “All Her Favorite Fruit,” by Camper van Beethoven, from Key Lime Pie, 1989) * “I Sold the Arabs the Moon” by David Lowery, from The Palace Guards (2011), also discussed on David’s website * “Take the Skinheads Bowling” by Camper van Beethoven from Telephone Free Landslide Victory (1985), the “hit” status of which was discussed by David on his website As a bonus, we also get to hear one of David’s most recent songs, “Almond Grove” by Cracker from Berkeley To Bakersfield (discussed in Rolling Stone). The intro/outro music is from Cracker’s biggest hit “Low,” from 1993’s Kerosene Hat. You can read lyrics for all of these songs van.co.uk/songs/index.php">here. Learn more at davidlowerymusic.com.
