Britain's Joe Jackson has been off a lot of people's radar since his "Steppin' Out" days, but the man hasn't been wasting time. Besides crafting variations on his new-wave brand of piano pop, Jackson spends his days railing against anti-smoking legislation on both sides of the pond. You can read his recent essay "Smoke, Lies and the Nanny State" at his Web site or head over to Stereogum to download "King Pleasure Time," the first single from his upcoming Rain. Due in January, the album features two of the original Joe Jackson Band members and probably a few more song titles that will make nicotine fiends flick their Bics.
