DOSSIER: My queen, Lizzy Mercier Descloux
On the brink of graduating college, I fell into something akin to obsession. Why? Lizzy Mercier Descloux. Her cover of “Jim on the Move” drew me in, but I found completion through Mambo Nassau, the perfect mix of post-punk, no wave, and worldbeat. The weather was so perfect today. I couldn’t help but listen to a little Lizzy.
Pieces of Lizzy:
- She is one of my style icons.
- Her BRILLIANT cover of Arthur Brown’s “Fire”
- “She was an innovator for world music, endlessly influential, curious-minded and spirited.”
- On Compass Point Studio
- More reflections on Lizzy: “There’s Something About Lizzy”
- The never ending cool of “Hard-Boiled Babe”
- How to Improve Your Spirits in the Morning
- “Maita”: I was trying to teach myself French to pronounce the lyrics to this song.
- The weirdness in “Sports Spootnicks”
- And this is my favorite.
And earlier Britticisms Dossiers: On “All Night Long” by Mary Jane Girls, on Henri Fantin-Latour and “Power, Corruption, Lies,” on Cristina, Grace Jones, and Jean-Paul Goude

Whenever the writer writes, it’s always three o’clock in the morning, it’s always three or four or five o’clock in the morning in his head. Those horrid hours are the writer’s days and nights when he is writing. - Joy Williams
And we, poet and felon, know how certain times are right for others and wrong for us. We die 4pm on friday when the fun begins for others. - Richard Hugo
