Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Serious? Send up? Either way, it works........2000-11-21

It could be that Ben Melnick's woe-is-me (and you too) lyrics are a send-up of the genre, or maybe the guy's got a lot of woe on his hands. Regardless, this 5-song gem beautifully captures early '90s San Francisco, when everywhere you turned there was a REALLY GOOD BAND to listen to. Pounding Birds was one of the best. Their departure from the scene is long lamented. Hopefully Ben has cheered up by now.

5 out of 5 stars Pimple Poppin' Good.......2000-01-29

One word: whoah. Buy it. Like yesterday. Right up there with the Liberaci X-mas album. And if you own that, you know this is like way too groovy to pass up.

4 out of 5 stars Morrisey meets Derrida meets the Junkyard Dog.......2000-01-28

This album is hilarious and nobody seems to get it - this send-up of early 90s romantic morbidity is dead-on brilliant. It's the musical equivalent of Chillida. "Tear Something Down" is songwriter Melnick pissing on the marble floors of L'Ecole Normale; "Another Coat of Paint" mixes turpentine in your bowl of Cheerios.
