Gary Graves • Love is a Dangerous Thing
|
| "What changes everything doesn't come down the barrel of a gun, or in the throws of ecstasy. It is in the circle of our two beating hearts; its voice, the universal lover, the ultimate revolutionary, the web of life, deep within." - Gary Graves (from the title track Love is a Dangerous Thing) Gary Graves was born and raised in the Southern city of Houston, Texas for more than two and a half decades. His upbringing in Houston was characterized by virulent racism and violence, which was always seething beneath the surface of every situation. These life experiences left Graves with a single burning question in his mind, "why do people hate each other? Is it some tragic, hereditary human flaw, passed on from one generation to the next?" On his new album Love is a Dangerous Thing, Graves addresses these questions and speaks also to an optimistic vision of the potential of love. His reedy tenor and intense guitar work combine to create a strange mix of beauty and brutal truth. The album's sparse arrangements allow Graves' words to reach the listener without distraction. |

Andrea Perry • Two
|
| OK, John Lennon and George Harrison had a time machine. They went to the future and nabbed a DNA sample from Andrea Perry. Then they took their parents further into the future and had that DNA implanted into their DNA so that when they returned everything back to its place and they were born, they would have some of what Andrea's got, Pure Musical Genius. Andrea Perry continues to deliver brilliant songwriting and sweet sentiments in witty and smooth music. "Two" explores a deeper look into the mind of an emotional savant who seems to be able to catalog every thought and feeling ever experienced by humans, at least in the way she sees it all! Another sweet turn on the road of a brilliant path! |

Clean Water Action • Ripple Effect (Compilation Benefit CD)
|
| This benefit CD has some of Austin's finest musicians offering up their voice to the cause of protecting the environment. Clean Water Action is a national citizens' organization working for clean, safe and affordable water, prevention of health-threatening pollution, creation of environmentally-safe jobs and businesses, and empowerment of people to make democracy work. Clean Water Action organizes strong grassroots groups, coalitions and campaigns to protect our environment, health, economic well-being and community quality of life. "CWA's mission for 29 years, 14 in Austin, is to give environmentalists a voice in their local, state, and national government. Before the clean water act of 1972, 40% of our nation's lakes and rivers had become unswimmable and unfishable due to pollution. Americans were outraged to find resistance in the government to cleaning up the water. The industrial polluters had the ears of too many politicians. CWA saw that the people could never match the money these polluters donate to our representatives, but we could outnumber them. CWA's strategy became strength in numbers. CWA began a grassroots program to canvass as many citizens who care about the environment as possible, giving you a chance to stand up and be counted. Since then, CWA has been able to influence policy around the nation to protect our lakes, rivers, and drinking water. Thanks to citizens who have joined CWA's cause. Proceeds from this cd benefit CWA." - CWA Staff |

Stinky Del Negro • The Soft Favorites
|
| STINKY DEL NEGRO. Totally gay and retarded. Your German dancing "partner", Stinky del Negro is one of the songwriters, and guitarists from SOLID GOLD 40. Joined by a cellist, bassist, drummer on a synthetic kit, and a keyboardist, Stinky is well prepared to warp his music into your brain; touching you in a place such that you'll need a puppet to show your mommy where. Austin's other bands are saying, "What's HER problem" like so many hair dressers. With such songs as The Ointment, Death to the French, Tuckin’ It Between My Legs, The Soft Opening, Happy Kwanzaa, Penises & Vaginas, The Fattest Kid, Ich Bin Schwul, et al, you are sure to feel the love of the quadriplegic spirit. Dwarfing a musical sound like Zelig performing songs written by the cast of Blazing Saddles about R. Crumb comics, Stinky del Negro will shame you into laughing your little ass off and into loving this album. | |

Joined by engineer/ navigator Chris Langer, 1st mate Russ Smith, and a St. Bernard, the five band members said goodbye to the creature comforts and pushed off from the Gulf of Mexico in late June... nearly a year later, explorer Bryan Nelson discovered the tapes and brought them home. Along with the restored tracks, the following diary pages, notes, and snapshots were included:" | |
