off light by taking the listener on a romp through America, then delves straight into what he does best: attacking the stupidity of our popular culture and political luminaries, going after George W. The Decider Bush, Dick Cheney, major league baseball and Michael Jackson in turn. Not for the monosyllabic comedy aficionado, Proops never strays too far into lofty territory without bringing it back around to some good, old-fashioned offensive humor. Listeners are in for a good filthy laugh, and Proops masterfully weaves the high-brow and low-brow throughout the hour-long Joke Book. Regardless of political bent, you re sure to spend an inordinate amount of time nodding in agreement when Proops points out that, in this country, apparently prosecution is based on l...  (less)

indie film (Dummy, starring Adrien Brody). Swirsky's legitimate music credentials are impressive: He's written hit songs for dozens of artists, ranging from Al Green to Tina Turner to Taylor Dayne. (He's also written three hugely successful books about baseball!) The two met in 2004, when Seth was recording his first solo album, Instant Pleasure (which went on to win Best Pop Album at the 2005 Los Angeles Music Awards). They shared one passion above all: A love of concise, melodic pop songs. She's About to Cross My Mind is the result of that meeting: eleven pop songs created, says Goldmine Magazine, the way God and Paul McCartney must have intended.

Shillock received a Verve grant from SASE and the Jerome Foundation for his poetry/video book, An Invitation to the Terrorists Ball. Tabatha Predovich is an internationally starring avant-garde singer/songwriter who originally moved to London with the English group, Elysium. Her next band Radium, in Detroit, fused pop, punk and progressive sensibilities into a new paradigm, resulting in the evocative, hypnotic pieces which were their most compelling work. His words - her songs - their collaboration, a book/cd entitled Invisible Jazz, melds ancient Alexandria, medieval Paris, Neo-Platonism and baseball in a lyrical crucible fired by love and war and the mystical vision.. It includes poems and songs in English and French, with translations from Franç...  (less)

that by issuing his historic second and third LPs together on one CD. The second LP included the now-classic They Aint Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore , as well as Kinkys version of Billy Swans hit song Lover Please (Rock-a-Billy Swan had served an apprenticeship with Kinky). By the time of the third LP, Kinky was on Bob Dylans Rolling Thunder Revue and had moved to Dylans record label. Dylan gave him a song he had yet to record, Catfish (dedicated to the great baseball pitcher Catfish Hunter), Eric Clapton was on hand to play guitar, and Ringo Starr did a narration on one song. It was an all-star event, and, like the second LP, has never been reissued in Europe. CD Digipac with 40-page booklet.  (less)

seven-year-old showed up a year too early for Little League tryouts (they took him anyway) McCutcheon has done quite a few other things right. With over thirty-five years of international concert touring, six Grammy nominations, countless awards, over thirty recordings and numerous books under his belt, he's been a busy man. With the release of "Sermon on the Mound" he s finally brought together two lifelong loves: music and baseball. Whether honoring the games heroes (Roberto Clemente, Cal Ripkin Jr., Jackie Robinson, PeeWee Reese), tackling the game s foul balls (steroids, John Rocker), celebrating street ball and Little League, or distilling it all down to its essence (the universal and heart-rending "Catch"), once again, McCutcheon's pen and eye a...  (less)
