Jonathan Fire Eater - Wolf Songs For Lambs (1997). ......... R.I.P. Stewart Lupton (March 29, 1975 - May 27, 2018). I didn’t even know about his death until today from a small article on the web. It’s just so sad not many seem to care about his death at a such young age of 43. Considering the fact that his band Jonathan Fire Eater was very pivotal in the rise of NY indie music scene of 2000’s. Without their lead there would be no Interpol, The Strokes, LCD Soundsystem, TVOTR, YYY’s and of course The Walkmen who were original members of Jonathan Fire Eater. Back then I just regarded them as that hyped indie band from NYC. Then last year I read the book Meet Me in The Bathroom detailing the rise of NY indie music scene in the 00’s. This band and Stewart Lupton had a huge influence and played a major role in shaping that distinctive indie music scene of NYC. If you haven’t read the book yet I strongly recommend it. As for the music this is really good and it’s a shame not many have heard it before. I only have it on CD since there’s no vinyl ever released( I think). Hopefully there will be a vinyl release soon if they could receive the attention and recognition with Lupton’s death( although it’s so sad to think something like this will spark an interest). #jonathanfireeater #stewartlupton #thewalkmen #meetmeinthebathroom #newyorkmusic #indierock #rip #wolfsongsforlambs

I was sitting in my car a few months ago waiting for Will to meet me at our friends house for dinner, an unknown number rang and for some reason I answered it, it was Stewart! I was so caught off guard but happy to hear from him at first, then I got a bit nervous, all the times I’d had experienced with him came flashing back and I remembered a lot of feelings, some good some quite difficult. We talked and caught up a bit, he told me he lived in LA and had for a couple/few years now…I didn’t really know what to say, I was married now and have a life that is very different from when we were spending time together. He apologized again for how things went down when he came to visit me in LA and I told him not to worry, it’s all over and I know the past is the past and it didn’t matter, we’re good now. The thing about Stewart I did remember was, he’s so sweet. He really does want love like everyone else and he’s just such a big love himself. I spent a lot of time with Stew..I was working on my doc “OUR TIME” about the NYC/LA indie music scene, I was always running around shooting in NYC, LA, Austin, SF, Everywhere for years!…I have so much footage of people talking about Stewart and how amazing he was and how much his influence meant to them. I wanted an interview with the infamous singer of Jonathan Fire Eater so desperately for the doc because I knew that his spirit infused all the bands that were so innovative at the time @yeahyeahyeahs @interpol @thewalkmen .. I found him on #myspace and started writing him letters.. this was in 2005 I think .. we wrote back and forth for months, he’s obviously a charmer and such a great writer I became obsessed with our correspondence. #JonathanFireEater are so absolutely raw and real I had listened to them since they came out in the mid 90’s, that first EP #TrembleUnderBoomLights is genius to this day and I still listen to it often. Stew was in a rehab in Colorado at the time we were writing and doing quite well.. apparently ... one day he rang me (our letters eventually led to phone calls) and said he was kicked out of the rehab for meeting a girl.. I said “How about I fly you here!” This would be great! We can do lots of i
