I must admit I discovered The Merrymakers by accident when scanning the web for info on the great Andy Sturmer.I was highly sceptical at first but upon first listen, I realised that Bubblegun was a pop gem! I never thought that there would be a band to replace ...             Keep Yourself Amused Cockeyed Ghost Big Deal Records, 1996             Numberonefan Barely Pink Big Deal Records, 1997             Hobo Billy Bob Thornton Big Deal Records, 2005 I'm a Hobo Too As with his previous albums BBT is once again in fine form. I just can't get enough and I am already waiting for the next one. I do have to say that this is not his best album, but he still blows away all other musicians. If you are looking to buy your first BBT ...             La-Di-Da Gladhands Big Deal Records, 1997 Wow! This is some sweet rock and power pop! The Gladhands album has a huge amount of great "hookfilled moments" (to quote the Billboard Magazine Spolight Review that made me buy this CD). Strong power pop at its best. The song "Dissatisfaction" is a killer, if just radio decided these guys were worthy of some ...             1985 Enuff Z'nuff Big Deal Records, 1994 Out to Lunch Forget those other reviews(except the part about being a great summertime album) this cd is really good(no it's not their best-that would be Strength or Paraphenlia). This music is similar to 80's glam, however, it has much more depth, get it, get the rest of their ...             Wow & Flutter Gladhands Big Deal Records, 1999             Wondermints Wondermints Big Deal Records, 1996 Brilliant When I told Jeff Foskett that "Thru My Window" was the best Brian Wilson tribute ever, I hadn't yet heard "Tracy Hide". It's like listening to Brian's "Wonderful" after huffing ether. That's meant as a compliment, and this album is a complement to both Pet Sounds and ...             Livin' on the Run Scott Grimes Velocity/Big Deal Records, 2005 A TRUE GIFT! 100x's better performer VS. actor!! This CD is a true GIFT to the music world. The 'Livin' on the Run CD is an all around superb gift to the ears. Kudos to whoever found this artist. Well written lyrics, catchy melodies, all heart and passion!! This CD rips!! If ...             Yellow Pills, Vol. 4 Various Artists Big Deal Records, 1997 ONE HECK OF A COLLECTION (AND SERIES) If you're not familiar with the YELLOW PILLS series, then this is the best place to start. Jordan Oakes has a knack for compiling the perfect power pop mix CD, with most of the artists new to the average listener. This collection is from 1997, but the sound is ...             Theme Park BMX Bandits Big Deal Records, 1997 Charming, goofy Scottish indiepop It would not be unfair to refer to the goofy, intermittently brilliant head Bandit, Duglas Stewart, as a Glaswegian Jonathan Richman... he's boyish, he's mopey, he has an irrepressible love for his music, and doesn't worry to much whether folks think it's too silly or ...             Yellow Pills, Vol. 1: The Best of American Pop Various Artists Big Deal Records, 1993 4 1/2 Stars: Great Collection A dynamic power-pop collection featuring new and old tracks by some of the leading groups of the last ten years, including Dwight Twilley, the Shoes, the Rubinoos, and Tommy Keene. The music on Yellow Pills is strong enough to convert casual fans into hardcore ...             Happy Hour Shonen Knife Big Deal Records, 1998 Banana Chip for ME! Banana Chip for YOU! Shonen Knife's best album by far in my opinion. Their songs about different foods like Cookie Day, Hot Chocolate, Sushi Bar, Fish Eyes, and Banana Chips are all songs that can easily be stuck in your head for days. The music itself is simple, but Shonen Knife can ...             Moment of Clarity EDL Big Deal Records, 1999 A Great Project I for one like the new direction that EDL has headed in. I own all three of Every Day Life's albums, from the days that they were on Alarma records. And their sound has changed somewhat, especially between "American Standard" and this new one. I honestly never knew ...             What The World Needs Now: Big Deal Recording Artists Perform The Songs Of Burt Bacharach Various Artists Big Deal Records, 1998 From the moment a portrait of Burt Bacharach took pride of place on the cover of Oasis's Definitely Maybe , appreciation--real or feigned--of the great composer-arranger has been a must for the self-respecting pop revivalist. Which is as it should be, but while the irony quotient of this 14-track tribute album may be low, it's hardly as effective ...          products you might be interested in   search for popular music bacharach, bubblegun, la-di-da, numberonefan, recording, wondermints      toavi.com    web randomly chosen DVD: Shakira: Oral Fixation Tour [Blu-ray]
