Embed and Breakfast man: Joan As Police Woman

It's been too long since I've spent a weekend lobbing videos from a single artist up. This weekend, then, a video-filled tribute to the genius that is Joan As Police Woman.

The great thing about JAPW is that it was (she was?) Joan Wasser's way of organising one side of her life. The great thing about JAPW is that the person-as-band title was a Angie Dickinson reference. The great thing about JAPW is so many things, things like this, Eternal Flame:

Embed and breakfast man: Joan As Policewoman

Somewhat surprisingly being offered via Interview magazine, here's the video for Joan As Policewoman's Start Of My Heart single:

Call the cops: Policewoman reveals first glimpse

Some more Good Friday joy over on MySpace: Joan As Policewoman is streaming the first single from this summer's new album.

Collaborations on the frontline

Interesting pairings: Robyn Hitchcock is working with Andy Partridge:

Hitchcock explained the reasons behind their collaboration, saying: “I think it’s good for me to be brought up against somebody else, another songwriter. I really think about how everything fits together.

“[It’s] a self-generating project. I write the words on the train going up to Swindon and then, bang, we record it in his shed.”

Meanwhile, and perhaps slightly less surprisingly, Rufus Wainwright is hooking up with Joan As Policewoman. None of the results of either of this unions is expected to appear on next year's Brits.
