BD and contributors, you have outdone yourselves!!! I got it today and I love it. The only song I don't care for is that Paula what's her name thingy...
Let me just make one thing clear...it reminded me of that double CD tribute to Mark Heard except most of the songs are actually better than those professional ones. I will do a song by song in the poll section. I will start a poll tomorrow if someone does not do it before me. We played it for our thanksgiving tonight. Everybody enjoyed it

BigDork (real name disguised, which is disturbing considering he's really quite proud of being called a Dork. Ask him about his collection of colour coded pocket protectors) is making quite a name for himself in the indie arena. This is the third "fan"oriented tribute album the man has helmed, and he has puts together a quality package (music will be discussed later). He's really outdone himself this time around - the cover art is great (way to go littleDork). The criteria for appearing on the tribute was pretty simple. Claim a song, record a song, submit a song. As you can appreciate, submissions run the gamut from outstanding to, er, ah - insitting. But that's what makes a fan tribute so appealing. Besides, does anyone really give a rat's bottom what I think anyway?
I confess I have a song here, which more or less strengthens the "If I can do it, you can do it" nature of the project. You may be asking, "Okay wise acres, I'm a fan of the band, should I get this?"
Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer ... maybe.
It all depends on how deep your appreciation for refrigerator art goes. If nothing less than perfect will do, then stay away, because there are moments here that would fit nicely on the American Idol auditions bloopers soundtrack (what kind of name is Bano for a band? With a name like that the band must be able to take a lot of crap). But if you can look past that to the heart of what is being done, then you're the same type of person who appreciates it when your cat brings in a dead bird for your approval. In other words you're more than ready for a fan tribute for this most tribute worthy band.
There is a lot of charm here. In fact if you're a fan, this album is like having one of those "family" concerts where everybody regardless of ability shows off just because it's fun, and there's no harm in being goofy with your relatives. As I sit here writing this my three year old daughter held up the jewel case and pointed to the cartoon of Mike playing the guitar and proclaimed, "This is the bestest funny guy dad." Which just about sums it up.
If you're curious take a chance, after all there are enough honest to goodness moment here to make this worthwhile.

Hello to all you wild and crazy Damb-ers (and your alter egos)! Thought I'd log in and post a line about the 77s tribute. Got mine day before yesterday and was able to hear about half of it so far. There really are some good musicians/technicians out there! I've liked alot of what I've heard. I have to say the first song really took me by surprise - those Three Nails guys (whoever they may be) really kick it. Was blown away by the guitars. It's all good, though. One other thought 'fore I dive back into work....... I was listening to Ba-ba-ba-ba as I arrived at work today and found myself thinking, "What a great theme song for the Democratic party!" Of course, that might just be me.
Y'all have a good day.

I was going to ask Wes about the Healy song. Here's where things ger unfair, I'll not pick on Jimsonweed or Dorf, but I'll step out and go "what?" to Brian's song. Wes, why the muddy mix, and how come you buried the vocals in the mix? It was a good version, and typical of Brian's better moments.
There's a story in how you hooked up, and somehow I think it involved Theo in there somewhere ...
As to that "review" by that tall fellow, it wasn't as easy as he let on about getting on the album ... I had one song, only one. Okay, so it was already taken by another band ... but gee whiz.
By the way, the official release is stronger overall by a smidgeon than the pre-effort, and Brian's song fits in really well with the opening punches.

well, i believe the majority of the muddiness came when i put the mp3 up for big dork to download....cause the mix i have is nowhere near as muddy. but besides that....the vocals are where brian wanted them. there are five stereo guitars, four seperate drum sets all going at once. i had my own ideas for the mix but brian had the ultimate say (since it was his song not mine) but we did discuss mixes...we just didn't always see eye to eye. good times.
we are gonna be playing a couple times this month....once in west la and once in orange county at some goth club.
brian and i hooked up in june, i think, no story really....and theo wasn't involved...although they were both at my home one night for a bbq which was a lot of fun.

I'm er, that tall feller is in the process of interviewing the big guy, and I'll have to make a point of saying he was wrong. Now, Wes, if you ever need someone to solo for you and I can "mail it in" I'll play for free.
