the problem with this album is that it has stupid noisy interludes and other "we're so indie" 90's crap that get in the way of the flow of the album.

i should make a "best of" and ditch the CD.

Which album Jewels? They have two, and a very good singles compilation. I'm assuming you mean Teen Beat 96 Exploder. I like the unevenness. Their first album "Bruiser" is also not a bad listen, it's more song-centric.

Go out and get "How Do You Like Your Lobster" because it has a fucking kick-ass, much better version of "A Pit With Spikes". They were a much better singles band as it turns out.

As for what the members are up to, they actually played a reunion show as part of a Teen Beat Anniversary bash last February in DC (I unfortunately had to miss it).

allmusic Wrote:
As a co-founder of Teenbeat Records, Andrew Beaujon was a member of Eggs, as well as lesser-known bands such as Scaley Andrew, Jungle George & the Plague, William & Vivian, and Tha Cheeky Bastid. His smart indie-pop songs gained many admirers, as Eggs were a staple in the East Coast indie rock scene in the early 1990s. After the band dissolved, Beaujon was briefly signed to Warner Bros. Records, though the label never released any Beaujon material. Releases followed on Neptunes Records and Happy Go Lucky Records. In 1998, Teenbeat released Beaujon's A Raw-Boned June, an eclectic eight-song mini-album. The album's intimacy was captured at Beaujon's home in Brooklyn, New York. In early 2002, he founded Tha Cheeky Bastid, performing at a Teenbeat Records Festival in February of that same year. The band was featured on Teenbeat's annual compilations in 2001 and 2002, while working on their first full-length disc.


Don't know what Evan or Rob are up to.

Love those guys.

Jewels --- did you see my Judy's thread?

Sounds like it might kinda be similar?
Maybe?

Hmmm...
