Vivian was learning the sampled parts on the keyboard and playing them in time and we all had to re-create something that was not written by us as a band. They were not written live, they were written on samplers mostly, except for maybe two or three songs. We had to take those songs that were all sampled from “Natural Ingredients” and learn them. “The second record probably has as much sampling as the first, and that one was like, we didn’t really have our live show together until we toured for a while.
Since sampling was used so heavily in the studio, did playing live pose any problems? So if anything’s spontaneous, I would say it was some of the live performances.” We did the same thing for the second record, and for the third one we really tried to get a live band. But people were like, ‘oh, it’s really lo-fi’ but we thought it sounded really slick! So we never knew we were doing anything lo-fi. I guess the first one was made with lunch money basically, on less expensive equipment, and we thought it sounded really slick. “I don’t think we were even conscious of anything changing. What do you think led to the more polished sound of “Natural Ingredients”? Your first EP, “In Search Of Manny,” seemed to have a more raw, sometimes spontaneous sound to it. That’s between eight and ten songs, a 45 minute set.” We do certain songs that people have to hear, definitely the singles from both records, we have three records, but… certain things we just have to include, like ‘Naked Eye,’ obviously, and ‘City Song’ from the first record, ‘Why Do I Lie?’ from this one. Since you have a lot of material, how will you determine which songs to perform? The number of artists performing means that everyone gets relatively short sets.

We’re doing this and hopefully we’ll do another one, a full tour in the future.” We did something else and we weren’t sure if we made the right choice, but…. An interview with Luscious Jackson vocalist and bassist Jill Cunniff (conducted 12/97)
