Editorial Reviews

Michael J. Martinez, Eastside Journal
Will Paul Allen bring that same streak of success to the world of rock 'n' roll? Will he join the ranks of such Seattle rock legends as Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain?

Product Description
A Seattle rock-band founded by investor and philanthropist Paul G. Allen, Grown Men debut with their self-titled album of music. Influenced by Hendrix, Pink Floyd and Tom Petty among others, the group writes, performs and produces all their own music.

If you belong to a dysfunctional family like I do, then How I Want to Die will impact you like no other songs out there.

Singing voices are cool too.

One stop on the road to immortality.......2006-11-19

This is a more than competent CD transfer of acoustic recordings of Sir Nigel Playfair's legendary 1920s revivals of The Beggar's Opera and its sequel Polly. Quite sufficiemt to show why the Beggar;s Opera production, meant to fill a few weeks' gap at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith, ran for three years. And while Gay's sequel was like most sequels, not up to the original, this recording is the only source for the second-best ballad opera.

Must Stop Ordering When Drinking - Or Maybe I Got Foxed.......2006-09-02

Right. Can't remember what state of sobriety I was in when I ordered this cd and I may have missed some key clues about its nature. But I was so excited to find anything claiming to relate to Gay's "Polly" (which otherwise seems to have completely disappeared after it was censored in the 18th century - even internet wise) that I bought this cd. Turns out it is a cd version of some music originally recorded in the early 1920's. It is moderately interesting even for someone who is not primarily interested in antigue recordings (aka "scratchy records") because the style may be closer to that of the original performance. (There is no reason to think that common tastes were better in the 18th century than in 1920.) It is certainly different than contemporaneous performances of BO.

Don't mean to be sexist - which I am - but the duets, choreses and male performances seem to be less antigue than the soprano pieces. The broads are simply squeaky. Something to do with frequency loss in early recordings, I expect. On the other hand, the bass songs are equally abrasive and archaic.

Even the notes about "Polly" in this cd are disappointing. No mention of the history of "Polly", no mention of the source for the music. Try googling for a link for Gay and Polly. If you find one, be sure to post - I would love to know.

Unless you are an academic involved with some of the most obscure corners of the history of recorded music, I would forget this one. Instead, root for someone to find and record Gay's Polly. And buy a more modern interpretation of the Beggar's Opera. I have certainly heard antique recordings restored more vibrantly than this cd - but I would think that depends to a large extent on the quality of what you have to start with.

The only reason I gave it 2 stars (for some reason, Amazon refuses to record my change from 1 to 2 stars; but that is computers for you) instead of 1 was because of I love the melodies of the songs so much. But I will also admit that it is possible that Gay have been lucky that Polly was suppressed - the melodies and lyrics are not nearly as good as BO. On the other hand, this cd is so antique that is an unfair basis for judgment, But what the H!

Support The Arts.......2003-08-22

As a big fan of Paul's, I say buy the CD and support the arts. Bonus: You get wonderful guitar playing from old Paul and cool lyrics too....As a woman in a band, I know how hard it is to make music and we should support local artists cds and respect their creative efforts....

Terrific Music!!! Please make another CD :-).......2002-09-22

I am used to listening to a different kind of music (eg. Nichole Nordemann), so buying this CD was a departure for me. I bought it for several reasons, including because I liked the "Scratch and Claw" demo, and because I thought some of the lyrics were thoughtful and intelligent (eg."Gardens of Stone," "Time Has it's Reasons," etc.). But I am enjoying it even more than I thought I would. The songs are really good, and each of them is very different in tempo and style. My favorite song by far is "No Choice," because there is this flute/guitar/drum/wah wah thing they do between the 3rd and 4th minute of the song that is literally worth the cost of the entire CD. About halfway through that segment I turn the volume up full blast because I think it is the only proper way to listen to that portion of the song:-)! So you'll be happy to know that somewhere in Arizona "Grown Men" is causing a noise disturbance! Just kidding! But it is definitely worth the hearing loss I'll probably have in old age---it is great music! Other songs, including my original favorite, "Scratch and Claw" are following closely behind, so I am thoroughly enjoying every part of the CD. I really hope you make another one. There are fans out there who really like your music---so do it for their sake, o.k.?

Refreshing /Energizing.......2002-09-03

The words are well written. Can hear in the music at times some of the other influences such as Pink Floyd and Tom Petty, but after listening to it a number of times it also has its own refreshing uniqueness.

God Awful.......2002-03-30

It appears that billions of dollars can at least buy some good reviews, even it can't buy talent. This CD is TERRIBLE. It's like a bad Eagles cover band who's now doing originals. ewwww.

Rock + Money = Shlock

grown men.......2001-07-01

despite the contraversial album cover (many of my fellow firefighters desperatly need a life) which is clearly a nod to jimi hendrix, this is a fresh sound showing the influence of pink floyd and other "blues based" pop artists. a nice mix featuring several northwest artists who have "been there and done that". give it a listen, it's worth your time! the cover artwork by famed cartoonist berke breathed (bloom county, outland) is cool despite protests by your local fire marshal!:-}

Album Description

PETER ALSOP'S Classics for Grown-Ups "EBENEZER'S MAKE OVER"

In this "Classics for Grown-Ups" CD, kid's songwriter Peter Alsop goes back to his roots and mixes powerful songs from the feminist men's and women's movements with elements of Firesign theater zaniness, CBS Radio Mystery Theater drama, and his own engaging style of educating people while they're not looking!

EBENEZER'S MAKE OVER is a delightful hour of the Dickens "Christmas Carol" story blended with 20 new and classic movement songs by Holly Near, Geof Morgan, Charlie Murphy, Fred Small, Joe Jencks, Tom Hunter, Amy Fix, Romanovsky & Phillips, Allan Arnaboldi, Bob Blue, Tedd Judd, and, of course Peter Alsop himself!

As a close-minded college dean, Ebenezer Scrooge refuses to let the college's star basketball player "Not-So-Tiny Tim" start a chapter of a national men's organization on campus. That night Jacob Marley's ghost comes on the car radio and chastises Scrooge, warning him that three spirits will come to visit him. The first Spirit begins the "make over" in "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy" style by taking Scrooge back to his childhood to see where his sexist, racist attitudes were formed. The second Spirit, a "spirit of color", opens Scrooge's eyes to the "sea of privilege" white men "swim in". The third Spirit guides Scrooge into the future for a glimpse of what the world will look like if men don't change the gender-linked oppression that's ruining our planet. Alsop's "Kill The Children" is a chilling song that would make Bertolt Brecht proud!

EBENEZER'S MAKE OVER uses music, humor and story to raise issues and create discussion about gender issues, homophobia, men's relationship to war, work, our fathers, the women in our lives and each other. Includes: It's Only A Wee-Wee, (So What's The Big Deal?), Men Are Good, You Are My Spoon, Let The Woman In You Come Through, Shoulder To the Wheel, Chromosoma Phobia, You Ain't Been Doin' Nothin' If They Haven't Called You Gay!, Burning Times, I Ain't Afraid, What Kind of Brother Are You?, Five Moms & Three Dads, Womb Envy, The Hug, Gotta Lotta Livin' To Do, Give Yourself A Hand, Kill The Children, Foolish Notion, The Matador, It's My Penis, Singing For Our Lives.

It's great for therapists, parents of teens, teachers, counselors, teens, or how about a gift for that "special man" in your life who has everything but a "raised consciousness"?
