BoyGirl is comprised of the members of Cooler Kids! I'm not sure why they switched to this name, but they did. The new material isn't the same as the Cooler Kids stuff in a number of ways... It's got a darker edge to it. The lighthearted pop is gone. However, that's not to be unexpected. The more familiar I became with Kaz Gamble's music, the more I realized he was drawn to darker, more sinister projects. At least he likes to dip his toes in evil's swimming pool. There's a great big feeling lurking behind all of these songs. I feel like if Kaz ever let go and embraced his potential, he'd spearhead another industrial empire similar to the one Praga Khan created with Lords Of Acid, Channel X and any one of a number of side projects he developed. As it stands now, Gamble moves from one collaboration to another and usually lets his collaborator decide on the direction the music will go.
The downside to this approach is his collaborators. In the case of Sisely Treasure, she's a limited singer and dancer. She could be awesome under the right direction, but when she's left to her own devices she writes mediocre lyrics and substandard dance moves. She needs a target to shoot for and in a situation where the target isn't as obvious as filling in for the former lead singer of an already established group, she can't define herself. Letting her take the lead produces disappointing results.
Despite the occasional embarrassing lyric, the CD features more highlights than let-downs. The opening track 'Catch Me', is a great opener. It's energetic and on the light side. It would've worked as a Cooler Kids track. It's followed up by my favorite track on the disc and also the track that indicates the minor themes of the album. It's a song about almost stalker-like waiting and an obsessive interest in another person. It's odd, disproportionate and brilliant. 'Take Me There' is another potential Cooler Kids number. However, it deals with a woman wanting her man to open up to her. 'Roses' has an incredible music track, but the lyrics deal with a lolita-like tale of a young girl.
'Stranded', 'Beginning To End' and 'Missing U' are all songs with great music tracks and even some interesting vocal arrangements. 'Last Breath' is the next track that really stands out. The music reminds me of a Nine Inch Nails song, but I can't quite put my finger on which one. I'll have to research it further and edit this entry later to include it.
The rest of the album falls into the roughly the same category... The music is strong, different and inventive. The lyrics often fall into generic themes with some interesting vocal arrangements from time to time. The last two numbers, 'GBoys/BBoys' and 'Diamond Age' are both interesting and unique enough to merit some attention. All in all, this is a noteworthy (though somehow incomplete) follow-up to the Cooler Kids disc. It certainly does give one the feeling greater things could come, but since the duo have disbanded and no longer record together, it's a shot in the dark. However, if you really loved Cooler Kids and felt jipped when the group disbanded after one album, here's your chance to get that final high before you quit them cold turkey. Don't count Kaz Gamble or Sisely Treasure out just yet. Both continue to make music and there's always a chance one of them will see success in one incarnation or another. My final words: AN EPILOGUE OF SORTS, BUT STILL ENJOYABLE.

This was the very first Pet Shop Boys album I bought and I should like to ramble a little about how I discovered them... Like anyone growing up in the 80's, I knew the huge hit single, 'West End Girls'. I'd seen the video and knew the name of the Pet Shop Boys, but my efforts were geared more towards synth bands with strange hair and leather pants rather than a neatly trimmed duo with sensible shoes. I certainly liked the song and recorded it off the radio many times, but I never bought one of their records. Then, in the mid-90's, I was in a band in SLC and the lead singer was a Pet Shop Boys fanatic. He had everything they'd ever done including singles. Thus, my exposure to the band began. And through this exposure, my appreciation for the group.
After that relationship soured and I moved to Las Vegas, I picked up this little number at a used CD store. I remember having heard the disc before with my ex bandmate, but the only song I could recall with any clarity was 'My October Symphony'. Mainly because I found the title so odd. As I listened to the record the first time through, I was surprised to find my impression was completely different from what I'd thought when I listened to it with him.
'Being Boring' is the opening track and the music features sweeping harp sounds and a confidential vocal delivery from Neil who treats the song like a secret he's telling a close friend. It's a recollection, but one of deep personal meaning. I listen to it and although I don't relate to the lyric entirely, I do get caught up in the nostalgia. I think of my younger days and the crazy things I experienced. Of course for people my age, our movements weren't as political or dramatic as previous generations. Our biggest dilemmas were fashion and nuclear war. Even though 'Being Boring' has a mid-tempo beat, it's still largely on the slow side and it's followed up by a ballad. 'This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Leave' was written years before the first Harry Potter book was released and yet every time I hear the song I think of Harry leaving Privet Dr. and heading to King's Cross Station. This is the song I imagine going through his mind. 'To Face The Truth' features a light Merengue beat and another emotional song about a couple facing problems because of infidelity and lying.
'How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously?' is the first song with a serious beat. It still falls in the mid-tempo range, but it's at least got some momentum. As I mention in the single review, I suspect this song is about a specific person, though I have no idea who it is. It's essentially a song about a famous person who diminishes their own credibility by behaving badly. 'Only The Wind' comes in directly afterward with those punctuating orchestral hits that were so big in the 80's. Like magic, they're only there to serve as misdirection. The real meat of the song is in the lyrics and the soulful vocals by Neil. As a vocalist, Neil doesn't have a huge range or an overwhelming presence. The appeal is in his pronunciation and his ability to emote vulnerability and other emotions through his singing style. 'My October Symphony' picks up the pace a little. Without moving beyond the comfortable sound they've established on the record thus far, the duo embrace a skipping drum beat to embellish with strings and piano. This is the song I remember most from earlier exposure to the record.
After so many relaxed numbers, 'So Hard' moves in like a dance floor tank rumbling across the debris of a shattered smooth surface. The only subdued aspect of the song is the virtual whisper of Neil Tennant. Again, the stabbing orchestra hits make a return appearance and this time not to the benefit of the song. They are distracting and create a tension the song doesn't need at all. As much as I like the lyrics of the song, I can't escape the melodrama in the music. It's too powerful. 'Nervously' is the return to established form as far as the record is concerned. It's also the obligatory gay love song. Just listen to the lyrics. 'Jealousy' ends the album on a quiet sombre note. It deals once again with infidelity. I mention it before 'The End Of The World' because for me, the tracks play better this way. I love the build on this number and in my opinion, this is the only dance number on the entire record. It's a wonderful progression, interesting lyrics with an excellent delivery and a beat that's simply infectious. The Pet Shop Boys have mastered this sound, but back then it was still a hit and miss at times. In the case of this song, they hit the bullseye. And it's a far more positive and powerful way to end the record than 'Jealousy'. Hence my reason for sticking it at the end.
Overall, I found a lot of things to be interested in when I listened to this record. I heard lyrics that were positively brilliant and thought provoking. I also felt myself drawn to the soft spoken quality in Neil Tennant's voice. The music is a nod to period electronica with references to show tunes and motion picture scoring. I liked it enough to buy more and that's all that matters. In this case, they succeeded famously. My final words: POIGNANT AND CLEVER.

There's something to be said for these older Pet Shop Boys singles. Back in the day, they understood the value of providing content for their fans. And they did it for quite some time until they discovered the money making process of releasing multiple singles. One for the title track and the b-side and another for the mixes. Double the money. I personally think it's a horrible way to rake over your fans for more money and I've always respected artists who try to provide value in their releases without resorting to cheap tactics to generate additional income. Granted, this can be more of a record company ploy rather than something the artist is doing. Regardless, I think a band has some control over what their label does. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails controls the single releases from his albums and I have to believe others have some say as well. When you're wealthy, you don't consider how expensive it can be for your fans to buy what you're releasing.
Ok, now that I've ranted, I'll make my point... This single has everything. It's got mixes of album tracks, b-side and it's all wrapped up in one release. Perfect. This single has great value. The first three tracks are versions of the title track. 'How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously?' is a clever tune about how ridiculous famous people can be. How their excessive exploits can destroy their credibility. Interesting subject matter and I suspect it's inspired by someone in particular, but I have no clue who it is. The first track is the album version. The second is a nice mix. It's not as exciting as the original version, but it's enjoyable and easy to listen to. The third is an instrumental version of the song focusing mainly on the piano. It's followed by Trevor Horn's mix of 'It's Alright'. I'm not sure I can hear a major difference between this and the official album release other than the length. I believe this track is an edit.
'We All Feel Better In The Dark' is a b-side and one of the better ones they've done. It features some deep sounds and a rushed vocal by Chris Lowe (one of his few vocal performances) with Neil singing the calming chorus over the top.
The final track is a rather nice mix of 'Being Boring'. So here you have great mixes of album tracks, not just the title song and a b-side to boot. All in all, a well rounded release and by far one of the best the group have done. My final word: VALUE!

This is an interesting entry because I have the unique opportunity to review not only the album prior to it's release, but I also get to review the concert I saw in support of the album. Let me start by discussing the concert. I saw the show in Salt Lake City, UT where I was able to purchase an advance copy of the album. This is the second time this year I've seen them play at The Urban Lounge in SLC. However, this time around was the lesser of the two shows. But not because of Electric Six. The crowd was much smaller (probably due to the fact they played Saturday night on conference weekend). For those of you who aren't in the know... Utah Mormons have conference weekend twice a year and they have two days of internationally televised church services they watch. It's considered quite an honor to attend the meetings in person and there is high competition for seats at the actual services. I wasn't surprised to see a smaller turnout and I sincerely hope E6 didn't assume it was because they weren't a draw. They were competing against the social culture of an entire state.
The show itself was very entertaining and well performed. Unlike the previous show, there were a couple of new songs included. That's always a struggle because the crowd isn't as familiar with the new tracks and it's often hard to get excited about music you haven't heard yet. I'd heard both the tracks prior to the show and anticipated hearing them live. Here's the setlist:
01. French Bacon
02. After Hours
03. Down At McDonnellzzzz
04. Pink Flamingos
05. Naked Pictures (Of Your Mother)
06. When I Get To The Green Building
07. It Ain't Punk Rock
08. Gay Bar
09. Gay Bar Part 2
10. She's White
11. Clusterfuck
12. Jam It In The Hole
13. Danger! High Voltage
14. Gridlock!
15. Dance Epidemic
16. I Buy The Drugs
17. Dance Commander
Prior to the concert, Dick Valentine told me they were going to play "Hello! I See You!" as well, but they didn't. I love that song and really wanted to hear it performed. I read a review by one guy in Salt Lake and he said E6 kinda dragged their way through the show. But I felt quite the opposite. I felt the crowd was dragging, not the band. E6 delivered an excellent program and I completely enjoyed the experience. It was worth the drive!
I've taken the past week to really listen to and absorb the new CD and I can best describe the disc as almost a tribute to 80's music. The new record is definitely more new wave than previous efforts and relies more heavily on synth and keyboards. While some songs incorporate sounds highly reminiscent of specific bands, others have a more generic 80's feel. The last two albums, "Kill" and "Zodiac" seemed to veer more towards the alternative rock/punk genres more than the disco/rock hybrid of previous efforts; which makes "Heartbeats And Brainwaves" a bit of a surprise. And yet, that's part of the appeal of Electric Six. Anyone who reads my blog knows I'm a sucker for artists who defy category and incorporate various types of music creating something new. I like bands that evolve. Musical change is always a good thing. I tend to think fans of the band will find this record difficult. It probably won't rank high in the order of their favorite E6 albums. It's too much of a divergence from standard fare. But the fans who enjoy the experimental diversity of E6 will embrace the record as another mutation of this fascinating musical force.
For me, the album includes many serious high points. I get excited by tracks like 'Hello! I See You!', 'Gridlock', 'The Intergalactic Version' and my personal favorite... 'It Gets Hot'. There are so many great songs on this record, it's hard to say any of them are bad. From the mid-tempo stomp of 'Psychic Visions', (borrowing both the gasping breaths and thumping drum beat of Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus'), to 'Heartbeats And Brainwaves', (a tune that wouldn't sound out of place on a Pet Shop Boys record), you can hear the influence of many bands from the 80's. Talking Heads, New Order and Erasure being just a few I'd mention here.
I should mention the appearance of Mark Mallman on 'Psychic Visions'. He was one of the opening bands I saw at the concert. He guests on keyboards and vocals for the track and just as a note for those interested... He's a dynamic performer! When he started playing, I was almost laughing at his theatrics, but by the end of the set, I was clapping and cheering along with the songs. There were a couple of moments during certain songs that really caught my attention. I'm going to pick up his CD and check it out. Very engaging.
The sound of previous records may not be overtly present on this new record, but you can rest assured many of the qualities you've come to respect and admire in Electric Six recordings are present. The funky beats are here, the animated vocal style of Dick Valentine is present, the offbeat and sometimes naughty themes are accounted for, that disco sensibility is all around and last but not least are the incredible lyrics! Once again, you have amazing amounts of intelligent and thoughtful ideas expressed in a rhythmic way. "Hello, Destructor. I'm yours for the destroying". Not only has this disc been present in my truck since the day I bought it, I take it with me wherever I go. It's been played on home stereos, computers, playstations and even in my dvd player. Je Adore this side of Electric Six! Wonderful! My final words: A TRANSDIMENSIONAL TIME WARP BACK TO THE 80'S! oh and... YUMMY.

This album came out in 1982. I remember discovering this band in junior high school. So many kids were listening to them. I think because they used some naughty words. Seems like when you're a kid, hearing someone swear is pretty intense. Of course these days, I don't even pay attention to language like that. It just kinda slides past me. So what can I say about this record? It wasn't the first Femmes tape I bought. The first one was "Hallowed Ground"; which is actually the band's second release. But it was the first one I was exposed to. The band consists of guitar, bass and drums. What the musical trio lack in inventive sound, they make up for with interesting lyrics, rapid paced music and infectious melodies. As simple as it is, this is one record you can readily sing along with and really jam.
Probably the most recognizable songs from the Violent Femmes repertoire show up on this release. I suspect it's also the band's most successful recording to date. Subsequent releases have failed to come to my attention, but most of these tracks are 80's classics. Arguably the most famous song, 'Blister In The Sun' starts off the record at a romping pace. Gordon Gano delivers this ode to pre-ejaculation with as straight laced a vocal as one can expect. In fact, unless you're paying close attention to the song, the lyrics are quite vague and wouldn't even make you think of sex. It's followed up by 'Kiss Off', probably the second most famous Femmes track. During the volatile early 80's when Punk was transforming into the New Romantic or New Wave sound, there was a musical void desperate to be filled and bands like the Femmes combined Americana rock with teenage angst to create a different sound that eventually found a home with alternative country artists like Ryan Adams, Old 97s, Whiskeytown and even some Honky Tonk singers like Wayne Hancock. You can also hear them in the sound of Norah Jones. Mainly from her time with Lee Alexander and you can hear them sometimes in the lyrics of Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins.
'Please Do Not Go' is the group's first attempt at a slow song. I say slow, but it's more of a meandering stroll, making it's way along the neck of the bass guitar. The lyrics tell the story of a man trying to win the heart of his love back. But seriously, if I was leaving and someone sang me a song like this to get me to stay, I'd be running for the hills. Hehehe. 'Add It Up' starts off with Gano singing sadly in the background. Then here comes that driving tempo again. Another classic tune and another well known track from this record. 'Confessions' really is a slow tune in every sense of the word. However, like 'Please Do Not Go', it kinda rambles. There is a strange urgency in the vocal delivery. Gano seems on the verge of revealing something, but never really lets you in on his secret. Once again, the beat picks up with 'Prove My Love'. This is my personal favorite. I love the description of the relationship and the confusion he feels when he sings, "what do I have to do, to prove my love to you."
'Promise' continues the beat. Another excellent tempo tune with an interesting vocal delivery. 'To The Kill' borders on freeform jazz in some ways. The music takes a minute to find a groove, but when it does, it falls into that same half ballad slow song mix we've already heard twice on the record. They perfect this approach on later albums. This particular track has an extremely disjointed feel to the music and I believe the intent is to keep the listener off guard and not knowing what to expect. 'Gone Daddy Gone' introduces a xylophone into the musical mix and is probably the most radio friendly of all the songs on the record. This song would be great for greaser bands or even a Honky Tonk band to cover. I really love this tune. 'Good Feeling' brings in a piano and has the odd feeling of a hymn. You can imagine the song being sung in church. Well if it had anything to do with religion. But like the other songs on this record, it deals with unfaithful lovers, problematic relationships and sex.
This cd release features a couple of unreleased bonus tracks. The first, 'Ugly' sounds like a 50's rock track you'd hear in a soundtrack to a John Waters' film. 'Gimme The Car' is another slower paced tune, but it features some really great guitar playing and I actually love it.
So the Femmes are an interesting band with strange lyrics, odd arrangements and minimalist sound. Altogether, it's quite effective and worth listening to. If you remember this little corner of 80's history, you should pick up this release and enjoy it! It's worth the purchase. My final words: IT ALL ADDS UP!

My first exposure to Aztec Camera came in the form of a compilation CD from Sire records. I can't remember the name of the song because that disc has long since been stolen. I do remember it was a tune I liked enough to remember the name of the band. When I saw this disc at the local record store for a couple bucks, I picked it up. I read up a little on this band on Wikipedia before I sat down to write this review because in reality, I know virtually nothing about the group. Apparently, the band was formed around a young songwriter named Roddy Frame. The group was a way to showcase his talents as a songwriter, guitarist and singer. By the third album, Roddy was the only original member of the group still performing under the band name. He's also the composer of the band's songs.
Let's get right to it, shall we? The first track is 'Oblivious' and it's easily my favorite track on the record. It's got a wonderful progression, great lyrics and an excellent beat. Frame writes music I would compare to early New Order or Smiths material but lacking the electronic essence. During the time this record was released, New Wave was hugely popular and the demand for British pop was overwhelming. Frame was quickly lumped into that scene; which is unfortunate because he wasn't really a part of it. At least not on this record. His music is whimsical, thoughtful and the acoustic guitar playing is highlighted throughout. Hardly fitting the New Wave genre. I suspect he became an alternative for those kids who were alternative but looked for something even more alternative than their friends.
I remember the first band I ever wrote music with and when I listen to this record, I'm reminded of those days and those songs. Unlike most younger artists, Frame looks for subject matter that isn't ordinary. He writes challenging and poetic lyrics on a broad range of subjects. There's even an Austen-ian charm in the love 'sentiments' expressed in songs like 'We Could Send Letters' and 'Release'. On the heels of 'Oblivious' comes 'The Boy Wonders' and 'Walk Out To Winter'. Both of these songs are pure enjoyment and echo the sound of the first track. There's that exciting guitar playing accompanied by wonderfully cheerful drums and various instruments. On 'The Bugle Sounds Again' Frame kinda looses the momentum he's built up. The song is nice, but the overpowering echo on the microphone makes the tune hard to listen to. Back to formula with 'We Could Send Letters' and 'Pillar To Post', both great tracks.
'Release' starts off slower and builds as it goes culminating with an organ drawing us out. It demonstrates an ability to write more diverse tracks. It's followed by 'Lost Outside The Tunnel'; which moves in another direction entirely. This one really sounds like early Smiths and has an almost Spanish feel to the guitar playing. 'Back On Board' is another slower paced tune and it flows into 'Down The Dip'; a track that relies heavily on the acoustic guitar. Both 'Orchid Girl' and 'Haywire' continue the slow movement. Here's where the album really looses its power. 'Queen's Tattoos' is an excellent little ditty and ends the disc on a high note.
I think Frame has a great mind for lyrics and he's a talented guitar player. If I had to guess I'd say he got lost in the shuffle of genres and music trends. Still, he's good enough to have developed a following. I know when I first got this record I didn't pay much attention to it outside of the first track. 'Oblivious' was the song I focused on, but as I listen to it now I'm impressed with the material and I enjoy listening to the entire disc. I'll certainly listen to it more and get a better sense of this act. My final words: A HIT I MISSED FIRST TIME AROUND.

Every five years or so popular music circulates it's celebrities and a new crop of potential superstars show up to duke it out for the top spots. I wanna start the blog like this because I think this record is the perfect example of a theory I have. Cliches are used repeatedly in music. In basically every genre. Those of us who've been around a long time will listen to something and realize we've heard it a thousand times before. Why do these songs end up being so popular? Because for the next up and coming generation, these concepts and ideas are brand new. And when they hear their pop sensations singing something like, "Girl, my love is true, I'll never leave you"... To these kids, it's a fresh and exciting idea. So each consecutive group of superstar wannabes embrace the cliche over and over again, cycling through the worn out remnants of songs written and performed a thousand times.
So now you're asking me why I brought that up? And the truth is, this record is so full of teeny bopper cliches I can barely stand to listen to it. Color Me Badd is a boy band. Unlike other boy bands who fill their albums with radio friendly pop songs and the occasional ballad, Color Me Badd decided to skip the dance tracks and bust this one out on yo ass! This soppy, ballad filled dribble spends as much time pledging undying allegiance to 13 year old love as it does praising god and attempting to be a socially conscious record. Despite best efforts, for me they only accomplished creating a piece of music I can hardly stand to listen to. The song lyrics are so tired and worn out they wouldn't even pass muster with a high school English teacher. And the music arrangements are about as interesting as a bus full of teens whining. During the time this record was made, that slow Soul II Soul half reggae beat was all the rage. Pity because you couldn't dance to it hardly and it was beyond boring once you heard it a thousand times. Still, the producers of this train wreck decided to capitalize on the success of the sound and dropped the bottom out of any momentum this album might have had.
To make a long story short, I find this CD difficult at best to listen to. So now I bet your asking why I bought it... Well, that's another story. Back in the days when you could use Telnet to hack the Library of Congress and crack copyrights, I was scanning Prince compositions and found this CD listed. Prince is credited as one of the authors of the song 'How Deep'. I figured I'd found another Prince song I didn't already know about so I rushed out and bought the dang thing. Of course I found it used (and don't think I'm not counting my good fortune on that one every single day). Imagine my disappointment when I discovered Prince had nothing to do with the song. In reality, they use a sample of the guitar part of 'Crazy You' off of "For You" as the main melody for the song. So it's the worst kind of ripoff that exists. It's a sample rip off. It's ok, but hardly what you'd expect of anything with Prince's name attached to it. The track is listenable purely because of the guitar sample. Otherwise, it drags and drags.
There is one high point of the entire album and if I'm not mistaken, it's a track they released as a single. 'Choose' is a great song even if it does rely on that boring drum pattern the rest of the disc is littered with. It got enough radio play to insure this record had a mediocre hit. Unless you caught this group growing up and they were part of your exposure to deep and meaningful concepts, they're a waste of time and energy. They didn't compete with other boy bands of the time period and ultimately faded into total obscurity. Don't buy this record. If you must hear it, try to find it for download for free. My final words: MID TEMPO TEENAGE DRIBBLE.
