How can someone so unpredictable behave so predictably? Every time PJ Harvey releases something sophisticated and clean like 2000's Mercury Music Prize tipped Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea, it just about guarantees a contradictory follow-up album is around the bend. Her ambitious 1992 debut, Dry, inspired the bitter death rattle of Rid of Me. Her third offering, 1995's elegant To Bring You My Love, gave way to the stormy Is This Desire?. Harvey's sixth solo album, Uh Huh Her, doesn't disappoint. It's a nasty riposte to the success of its predecessor, built on grubby blues-punk riffs and the brooding, primal howl that Harvey uses when she wants to impersonate a she-wolf. Some of it seems disappointingly remedial ("The Letter," "Cat on the Wall"), but the best material ("The Desperate Kingdom of Love," "Who the Fuck?") just reconfirms that no matter how raw the British songwriter serves it up, the beauty of her work is undeniable. --Aidin Vaziri

Good album........2007-02-11

I can have this album playing all the time,it's just a moody album,i love that in it,the tone is moody,the lyrics are so expressive,this album is human,i am not going to describe each song,each one has a different flow. I almost felt she didn't put alot of effort in this album,like it came naturally;it just comes so easy,like a first reaction or impression,she has a deeply beautiful voice,her music generally is great,she is an artist in every way,i know she made better albums,but this could have been easily commericialized,the song titles,the lyrics,the music is just so smooth.I just feel this album and it feels me,give it a try.You don't waste your money buying a PJ Harvey album.

A Typical Offering Which Does Not Disappoint.......2006-12-17

The opening riffs of 'The Life and Death of Mr. Badmouth' demonstrate PJ's prowess as a songwriter and performer. Wave upon wave on sound build to a cresendo leading to a wall of silence at the end. 'Shame' is one of my favorite tracks. I will not review this album track by track. Suffice it to say that this is a fantastic CD.

Longtime fans will not be disappointed. If you are new to PJ's work, this would be a good second purchase. Start with 'To Bring You My Love' or 'Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea.' Either of these is a good place to begin.

Buy this CD.

POLLY IS AN EAR-TEASE!.......2006-11-14

Okay, usually the sound of PJ's intense, obsessive moaning sets me to drooling. I need to confess that much to you. This, however, is the most frustrating addition to her canon. It promises so much and delivers so very little.
From the pouty frown on the cover to the opening salvo of "Mr. Badmouth", I thought this was going to be another stunner like STORIES FROM THE CITY. Not even close. There are a handful of moments here that smolder like the best of her work but never spark and catch fire. This sounds like it was written & recorded in one day. Not her best day. Everything sounds unfinished. I don't mean raw like DRY or abrasive like RID OF ME. I mean a distinct lack of power. There are a lot of song fragments. "No Child Of Mine" could have been one of the finest PJ HARVEY songs, but at the precise moment where she seems ready to veer it into greatness she chokes it. Stops it dead. It may be an attempt at a middle-finger taunt, but it's not dramatic. Just irritating. The most fleshed out number is "Pocketknife". It's as good as anything she's ever done...and sounds completely out of place here. "The Desperate Kingdom of Love" plays like an out-take from IS THIS DESIRE? It's got a delicate beauty but is recorded at levels that over-emphasize QUIET! I don't need to be beat over the head with silence. I get it. It's not an original idea. F@$# post-modernism. She's fully capable of working "The Darker Days Of Me & Him" into a frothy intoxicating brew. She just didn't do it. Aside from that there are songs on here that are utterly unlistenable.

With UH HUH HER she's giving you scraps. Sure her scraps would be seen as brilliance in lesser artists but she's NOT a lesser artist.

Of course you must own this if you're a fan. You wouldn't want to be without "Pocketknife", "Mr. Badmouth" or even the 68 seconds of "No Child of Mine", but if you are just now coming around to Polly's gifts? You can skip this one.

Not as good as most PJ.......2006-08-22

This album seems a bit scattered, with about half filler and half good material. I think this was done around the same time as Marianne Faithfull's BEFORE THE POISION, which was mostly written by PJ Harvey. She seems to have saved some of her best songs for that album rather than this one.

Rockincamp!.......2007-05-07

I bought this cd for my fiancee but have found myself listening to it more often than her. Just good solid Mellencamp at his best. Despite the suspect looking cover its a great album!

A very good rock album.......2007-03-04

John Mellencamp really started to come into his own with this mid-1980's release. He reclaimed his real name (from the record company moniker of John Cougar)and he cut loose with some great rockers. He showed hints of his social consciousness with "Pink Houses," letting the Ronald Reagan generation know that not everyone was living the American Dream. He showed he was still the bad boy with "Crumblin' Down", "Play Guitar," "Authority Song," and "Serious Business." Just around the corner for Mellencamp was his career masterpiece, Scarecrow. UH-Huh is a very good all-around rock album and is always fun to listen to.

sweet.......2007-02-28

I have been waiting for the acoustic version of 'Pink Houses' to appear on a remastered CD. I bought the CD upon reading about it, and that version alone was worth the price of admission. 'Scarecrow" gets lots of attention, but 'Uh-huh' contained great music, including the best song of the 80's, "Pink Houses." I think Mellencamp keeps getting better.

Star Making Album.......2007-02-08

This album is a lot of fun and turned Mellencamp into a star

A Damn Good Collection! .......2006-09-02

This is truly one of the best collections of the early 1980s and the standout collection of 1983. John Mellencamp is a damn good rocker and this collection will not disappoint!

Mellencamp catches his listeners' collective attention with "Crumblin' Down" and has established his rightful place in the ranks of [...] kickin' rockers.

His stellar classic "Pink Houses" is a wonderful unifer and the acoustics are nothing short of outstanding. It is a coast-to-coast and worldwide treat that will leave listeners pleading for more.

The "Authority Song" could be the story of my life. It is a damn good assertive piece that is demanding to be taken seriously. If ever there was a straight from the soul rock hit, this is the one.

"Play Guitar" is a damn good in your face rocking number. It's a poke in the macho eye with some damn good guitar playing and some hard, cutting edge lyrics. I love it!

You have from the heartland the rich rock from the heart of one of the best rockers that ever picked up a guitar. John Mellencamp is an elemental musical force - he is here to stay!

Be sure to get this along with "American Fool," "Scarecrow" and any of Mellencamp's other collections. You will be so glad that you did. Every song is worth it. Be prepared to dance.

Cowboy Mouth is really all things to all people. Their brainy, sweaty mix of novelty songs, delicate psychedelia, glam, classic rock, and roots gets better and better over time. It's rare in a band that has had such a long run to maintain such brash energy and enthusiasm. While the New Orleans-based band hasn't settled down into a single groove or genre, the musicianship has been tightened up as the players tame some of their former manic energy into a more coherent musical statement. "Trouble" sounds like a missing Kiss track and is a damn sight more interesting than what the painted warriors are turning out lately. The muscular guitar licks, rather misogynist sentiments, chugging bass, and bombastic drumming is a throwback to the days when dinosaurs still roamed the earth, and that is a good thing. "Bad Girl" is a hoot, if only for the aside: "Who cares if Michael Stipe is straight or gay." Cowboy Mouth has finally captured the breathless fun of their incendiary live shows. --Jaan Uhelszki

Customer Reviews:

Umm...ok..........2004-12-23

OK, there are indeed a few good songs on this cd, such as "Disconnected," "So Much the Better," and the lead single and best track, "Better." However, this does not mean the rest of the album follows suit. I really do not know what they were thinking on this one. Well, I do, and you can't really fault anyone for trying something new and trying to branch out a little bit. Unfortunately, though, this is one scenario when such an attempt is not necessarily for the the better.

Some of these songs could have possibly been decent tracks, if it were not for over-production and the throwing in of unnecessary electronic equipment (hear "Tomorrow Never Knows," which I am honestly still trying to figure out). One other thing which brings this album is the lyrics in some songs. I realize that Cowboy Mouth has never taken themselves too seriously, which is one reason why they have always been such an attraction for so many people, but do we really need to be reminded of the travesty that occurred a few years ago known as the "Nookie"? I had to read the booklet before I could believe they actually used the term "nookie" in a song.

This album is by no means a total loss though. As I said at the beginning there are a few very good songs, and the experimentation does seem to pay off in a few spots, including "Trouble," "Bad Girl," and even the title track "Uh-Oh" is fairly decent. The bottom line on this one is that some people may dig the new effects and whatnot, but if you're a fan of the old, laid-back Mouth, you might want to give these songs a listen before picking this one up.

WHO ARE THESE GUYS?.......2004-03-26

In a world of commercial sell outs, this band is different. I dare you to try to classify this. I can! REAL GOOD MUSIC. This CD is unlike anything you've ever heard...I went back and bought all their CDs after hearing this. I now look forward to seeing them live. THIS BAND KICKS BUTT!! TRY IT...YOU WON'T BE LET DOWN!

Only thing better would be LIVE!.......2003-09-23

Cowboy Mouth is a band with extreme energy and enthusiasm. The new CD "Uh-Oh" lets a lot of that wild, take no prisoners energy through. That being said, if you are new Cowboy Mouth fan, or are just trying to find a new band to listen to, do not make up your mind about Cowboy Mouth until you have seen a live show. While their music can stand on it's own, the complete immersion of a Cowboy Mouth show is the stuff that new fans are made from. Do not miss them if they tour anywhere near you. It is an event like no other.

A Devoted Fan of the Mouth.......2003-09-15

My friend from Louisiana got me hooked on Cowboy Mouth two or three years ago. Since then, I have compulsively bought every single CD that they have made, including all of their EPs, Fred LeBlanc's solo album, as well as Paul Sanchez's solo album. Over their year, I think their sound has changed a lot. Their newest CD, "Uh Oh", is by far their furtherest departure from their original sound, and this time, I think they might have strayed a little too far.

"Uh Oh" is certainly catchy. The songs are very hummable, and it makes great background music. But to me, this CD sounds over produced. They obviously had a lot of fun with the mixing machines, and other sound effects in the studio, which I think detracts from the truly excellent singing that this group does. I have seen them live four times, and these guys do not need sythesizing to sound good.

Also disappointing is the overwhelming number of Fred songs on this CD. It seems like there are fewer tuns fronted by the other band member on this CD, as opposed to the other CDs. I was especially surprised the Fred was the one fronting the song "Invincible", as that is one of Paul Sanchez's songs from his solo album.

All of that being said, there are some redeeming elements. We finally have a studio version of Trouble, a song that has been a hit in concert for the last couple of years. The last track on the CD, "Bad Girl" is also really excellent.

If you love the Mouth as I do, you should pick up this CD. Because - let's be honest - any CD by Cowboy Mouth is worth listening to. If you are just getting started with Cowboy Mouth, I would recommend Are You With Me or Easy before purchasing this album.

Cowboy Mouth releases another great disc!.......2003-08-20

This is a great album! However, if you're looking for any sensitive, introspective songs from Fred (who wrote the songs for most of the album), you'll have to listen to some of their older albums.

Griff's "Can't Stay Here" rocks my socks and has a killer bassline. Paul's "Invincible" is awesome, but it's not as great as the version from Hurricane Party. Fred singing on "Senseless" was a bit of surprise, too.

But, heck, I can point out all the faults I want till I'm blue in the face and every time I listen to Uh Oh I fall in love with it again. (Uh-oh! I'm falling in love again! Sorry...I couldn't resist.)

Over all, if you're checking out Cowboy Mouth for the first time, I'd be reluctant to recommend this to you because their other albums are much better, but it's still darn good.

If you're a long time fan of the Mouth, then you should definitely add this to your collection.

"Pink Houses" is the state-of-our-union anthem that John Mellencamp likes to boast about, but the real class-awareness beef of 1983's Uh-Huh is in "Authority Song" ("Call up my preacher... / He said, 'You don't need no strength, you need to grow up, son'")--not to mention the kidding cynicism of "Crumblin' Down" and the Mellencamp-John Prine collaboration "Jackie O." With his Stonesy band crackling behind him, the newly minted superstar also shows that he gets the joke of his "serious business" on "Play Guitar," which might have been the album's fourth hit single if not for its admonition to "forget all about that macho shit." --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Mellencamp Should Sometimes Win!.......2005-03-27

With the huge success of AMERICAN FOOL in 1982 the artist formerly called himself John Cougar added his real surname MELLENCAMP and surged ahead with his own rock'n roll style-straight-ahead rock with homecoming blues. CRUMBLING DOWN and AUTHORITY SONG are such straight rock songs. PINK HOUSES is a nice sample of homecoming nostalgia. During 1984 campaign Republican candidate Ronald Reagan used PINK HOUSES as Presidential campaign song ,which was against the will of the artist who made it of course. In AMERICAN FOOL the gap between hit tracks and the rest are so huge but this one is truly consistent -- the other album tracks are arranged and mixed so that the listener would not skip after track 4, WARMER PLACE TO SLEEP. PLAY GUITAR is another of upbeat rock song and closing song GOLDEN GATES refreshes our soul.

Essential for American rock fans and for any music fans who enjoyed recent compilation
WORDS AND MUSIC.

Uh Huh is a big Yes.......2004-10-06

Pre-dating his "Farm Aid" support of America's Heartland, Mellencamp's "Uh Huh" clearly shows the nostalgia and amicable rebellion that pervades his work. From the midwest ode "Pink Houses" to the self deprecating "Authority Song", Mellencamp continues his "American Fool" path of embracing your roots while still having a great time.

The Best overall Mellencamp album.......2004-08-15

Uh-Huh was recorded in a 16 day jam session in Southern Indiana and it is far and away Mellencamp's strongest album. There are other songs of his that are my favorite but this album is incredibly powerful and tight. Well-conceived. If you are unsure, listen to the samples up above and you'll be convinced.

A classic rock album!.......2004-06-23

In later years--"Trouble No More," "Cuttin Heads," etc.--Mellencamp has turend to a more folky-bluesy sound. In the eighties, though, it was all about rock n roll--and "Uh Huh" is a classis rock album (as is "Scarecrow," by the way).

Mellencamp acknowledges his fame in "Crumblin Down," and pokes fun at society in "Pink Houses," "Serious Business," and "Play Guitar." With the rebellious attitue displayed on "Authority Song," along with the world-wise anthem "Pink Houses," Mellencamp positioned himself as a singer of the people.

"Uh Huh" is a classic rock n roll album, there's no doubt about it. While Mellencamp's songwriting isn't always world-class (though close), his melodies and voice enrapture. Do you need to buy this album? Let's here it: "Uh huh."

An ass kicking album? Uh-huh!.......2004-02-26

In 1983,after three albums under the name John Cougar,he extends it to John Cougar Mellencamp. This album spawned three Top 20 hits which are CRUMBLIN' DOWN,PINK HOUSES and AUTHORITY SONG. The latter tells about a fighter("I fight authority,authority always wins.") JACKIE O is an ode to the now-deceased Jacquline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. On PLAY GUITAR,JCM tells listeners,"Forget all about that macho s--t and learn how to play guitar!". This album was recorded in the summer of 1983 and released only 4 months later. An ass-kicking album.

Still Sounds Good.......2007-07-07

As far as a pop album goes, this is a very well produced album. I'll admit I am biased as I was subjected to this at a good time in my life. However, I think you'll find some excellent production quality and musicianship. Such songs as "Monkey Man" display very good composition and choice of sound. If you enjoyed Talking Heads catchy tunes, I think you'll like this. Regardless of ego or reasons for the fallout of TH, Byrne has chosen professional musicians to execute his dream. All around a very good play.

Forever praise the crude cartoon dog!.......2007-01-22

Pop stars rarely outgrow their first success. Type-cast Medusa fashion into rigid icons, they struggle against loyal worshippers who seek their own immortality by freeze-drying the symbols of their melting youth in an ageless wax museum. Elvis' fans sought this kind of preservation. They didn't really want him to grow up. But his expanding girth and failing health reminded his followers that their time too would arrive. So a mourning generation youthified and resurrected him in a pantheon of impersonators more numerous than Hindu Gods. Mummified in stage lights, the King still lives unchanged.

Few pop culture icons avoid this suspended animation of perpetual youth. The remaining Beatles appear far more as the 1960s loveable mop tops than the old men they have become. Images of the young Diana Ross outnumber recent photos of her by an enormous margin. Obituaries of celebrities from bygone eras always sport a historic photo (see Lillian Gish, Janet Leigh, Sandra Dee; the media does allow men to age somewhat, but not most women). All of this suggests that change and age remain anathema in the realm of entertainment. Enter facial surgery, various bodily implants, and the incessant emphasis on a star's single most successful hit song, movie, or persona.

Somehow David Byrne evaded most of this mess. His polymorphic career has embraced change, experimentation, and intelligence. Even his previous band, Talking Heads, morphed from release to release. Some have called the transition from the albums "Fear of Music" to "Remain in Light" the most radical transformation ever accomplished by a rock band. Once Byrne went solo in 1989, he continued his incessant exploration. "Rei Momo," expanding on the Talking Heads' final album "Naked," plunged head first into Latin music styles. Some reveled in the blaring horns and hip gyrating rhythms. Others, maybe inspired by cultural freeze-drying, bemoaned that the quirky king of rock's fringe had abdicated. In 1992, those same querulous types welcomed Byrne's second solo album, "Uh-Oh," with wide open limbs. Why? Because "Uh-Oh" sported music more akin to Talking Heads than "Rei Momo."

From the pulsating discotheque sounds that launch the album, it becomes clear that "Uh-Oh" is no "Rei Momo II." "Now I'm Your Mom" celebrates sex change as a natural and even a beautiful human act. "I was your dad," Byrne sings, then rockets his voice into squeaky falsetto for the line "Now I'm your mom!" The song's infectious grooves will even have hardcore conservatives caroling about the joys of transsexuality. "Girls On My Mind" delves into the straight man's psyche via a demented honky tonk beat. Byrne sent the ominous "Something Ain't Right" to the brilliant Tom Zé for arranging. Zé's contributions include the whistles, groans, tweets, and flutters that pervade the song. In the song's angry climax, Byrne shouts to the sky "come on down you old fart let's see if you've got a heart!" "She's Mad," the closest Byrne has come to a solo hit, received ample airplay on alternative stations. The song's video featured then shockingly novel digital morphing effects. Byrne becomes a house, a sheep, a bunny, amongst other things. "Hanging Upside Down" explores the ups and downs, but mostly the downs, of mall culture. "Tiny Town" revisits the theme Byrne expounded in "The Big Country." It still doesn't sound like he'd live there if you paid him.

The album's not so subtle cover depicts a horde of angels praising a rather crude Snoopy-esque cartoon dog on a throne. Uh-Oh, indeed.

"Uh-Oh" remains one of Byrne's most enjoyable solo efforts. It covers new ground while incorporating African and Latin American styles. The album also carried on his tradition of transformation. "Uh-Oh" sounds different than any of his other releases. Nonetheless, his career has had a strange consistency to it and "Uh-Oh" fits right in. Square peg square hole. Byrne somehow seems exempt from the mainstream mantra of sameness. His subsequent releases, four to date, exemplify this. Who could freeze-dry this guy? Impossible. Plus, Byrne has allowed age to catch up. He now sports a head full of spiky gray mad scientist hair. He lives on, changed, and, like everyone, forever changing.

David's Best Solo Album.......2006-01-24

I am surprised this album doesn't get more praise. It was glanced over. A shame because songs like "Something Ain't Right" and "Twistin In The Wind" are the best he's ever written. Maybe it is because side two only contains two immediate standout winners. The rest does grow on you though and overall this is a masterpiece. If you buy one David Byrne record this is an easy choice.

This album is amazing.......2005-08-12

This is the greatest piece of music I have ever heard. Out of my 300 cds, I listen to it the most. It is great to work out to, to drive to, to do anything to. I've been listening to it for 12 years and still find sneaky little percussion nuances that I didn't realize were there. Everything else by Talking Heads and byrne solo, while still brilliant, is not on the same plane. Hilarious lyrics, irresistable grooves, totally original songwriting, white hot rhythm, a masterpiece. When was the last time a song made you feel angst ridden and ecstatic at the same time? "Something ain't right" does.

Heads....We Don't Need No Stinkin' Heads.......2005-04-29

This is by far my favourite David Byrne album. And as mentioned above, there was little traditional promotion for this album. However, the videos are all gems. (Too bad - my VHS copy of a Muchmusic spotlight which ran them all is faded and finally wore out. DVD pretty please.) She's Mad got a lot of airplay and a nomination at the MTV video awards. But Girls on my Mind and Hanging Upside Down are classic vids as well.
This is an album that dispite its varied influences and mixing of music styles flows from beginning to end so well that you could have it on repeat and not get tired of it.

Anyone who's ever prepared a bubbly drink for a patio party while listening to Esquivel (or one of the endless series of Ultra Lounge comps from the mid-'90s) will know precisely where Tipsy's coming from. This playful modern group uses all the sonic cues of classic lounge and exotica music--popping-popcorn rhythms, string arrangements set on "tickle," tiki-surf guitars, and interjections of "Zow!" that sound as if they were sung by people in well-tailored suits. But Tipsy are keenly aware that this music's kitsch factor went out of hipster fashion about five years ago--the same time that their great debut, "Trip Tease," got lost in the ironic-lounge avalanche. So here they move beyond the (squeeze) cheese factor and craft infectiously upbeat songs that stand just fine on their own, from the sunnily propulsive "Papaya Highway" to the spy-themed "Swallowtail." And in a nod to today's electronica mayhem makers and yesterday's psychedelic popsters, they insert disorienting sound effects at every other turn. (See the blender-collaged "Hey!") Forget the retro-revival factor; Uh-Oh is a perkily distracting good time in any era. --Lisa Gidley

New to this genre..........2004-05-17

...and I like what I hear. I picked up both Tipsy CD's, Uh-Oh and Trip Tease and I love them both. I usually listen to all sorts of progressive rock and other neighboring genre's of music. I look at music this way; if it is inventive, rich, moody, atmospheric, complex, quirky, mindbending to name a few adjectives, I will like it if it is done well. In any event I heard a song from Tipsy on a live365 channel named "psychic vibebot radio". I looked up Tipsy on Amazon.com and listened to the rest of the samples and liked the atmosphere the music conveys. I was immediately sold. This happens occasionally with me when I hear something interesting coming from the speakers and I knew right away that I wanted to have this type of music in my collection. I think Triptease is slightly better but I love Uh-Oh just the same.

Welcome to the Lounge on a Forbidden Planet!.......2004-02-16

This is one of the quirkiest CD's I have ever purchased. It is difficult to describe the sound exactly but if a combo of Lounge/Bad European 60's movies/Electronica/Go-Go is your bag, then this is for you.

Some exceptional tracks are:

"Reverse Cowgirl" which sounds like Beck meets Cibo Matto meets Hank Williams meets the Jetsons...figure that one out?

"Hard Petting" which is right out of a late 60's Euro-trash movie or maybe one of those goofy "Our Man Flynt" movies...kinda kitsch spy and Italian/French movie where they are driving around in a convertible down on the coast..you know what I mean, the slide whistle really adds a powerful kick.

"Papaya Freeway" is like Martin Denny on a far out trip, if you can imagine that one, like tropics meet forbidden planet.

"Sweet Cinnamon Punch" reminds me of some off the wall 60's movie where you are prety sure something naughty is going on but all the bizzarre swooping camera angles make it a bit unlcear, on the other hand I can see Barbarella floating around to this as well.

Overall, I really give this 4 1/2 stars, it is spectacular background music for your oh so hip cocktail party!

Tipsy improves on perfection!.......2003-02-07

Tipsy's first release, "Trip Tease", revitalized my interest in the world of music. Through them I discovered somewhat similar bands such as Lemon Jelly, though no one quite came close to Tipsy's mix of electronica, eclectica, and lounge. With their second album, they seem to have grown up a bit. But fear not, this is still the same fun-loving music presented on "Trip Tease".

Musically, I find this album to be a little darker than the first one. It is still great music to clean house by, but at the same time if it is playing and you are doing nothing else, it can start making you think before you realize it. Rather than the bubble-like gems of the first album, these songs are more like uncut opals--attractive any way you look at them, but truly sparkling under close scrutiny over time. "Fur Teacup", for example, is on the surface a typical Tipsy composition, fun and engaging. But upon closer listening it shows the influences of many types of music, such as using Middle Eastern flutes, and suddenly you realize you're actually listening to a very profound piece.

"Uh-Oh" is not so much an improvement on the first album as it is simply an evolution of that sound. The first CD makes a great pool-party CD, but what "Uh-Oh" accomplishes is a little more tricky: it is not only a great party album, but one that can make you have the profoundest revelations if you listen to it in the dark, alone. Bravo Tipsy!

Big Bill's #31 of 2001.......2002-01-03

Here's some weird stuff. Sounds as if the people who do the music at the kiddie land in the amusement park has been spending all their money on ..., ..., and good old fashioned .... This is the kind of music that would be the ideal soundtrack for a movie about a carnival where the clowns, cute and funny, start offing people left and right with an axe in the funhouse, and the audience laughs their asses off in the theater. There's no way to describe this music. No influences, maybe if Walt Disney hired ... to conduct an orchestra about some drug dealer mouse that sells narcotics to flying penguins. In a world all on it's own. Just try it. Be brave.

When spontaneity becomes predictable........2001-11-21

Unlike some of the high-quality Asphodel offerings, Tipsy's Uh-Oh is Ho-Hum. "What?!" you say. "I thought Tipsy was playful and spontaneous." Well, yes and no. Track 2 whips off the starting line with camp, retro sounds, arpeggiating harps, and cute vocal samples. It is like a caricature of a 60's TV commercial or theme song and, standing alone, it is pretty cool. But the listener soon realizes that the wacky samples and sound effects are part of a formula, and by track 3 or 4, the joke isn't funny, or even toe-tapping anymore, just tiresome. As an example, one of the later tracks starts with an excellent quarter-speed sample of some guitar music with a nice bass line, but sure enough it breaks into a playful trot (with a lame Theremin whistling the melody, or maybe it's an organ, but you get the idea) totally breaking the spell. The problem is the lack of ideas. When a theme has gone through about 16 bars of repetition, it rear-ends another theme that goes on to rear-end another. These aren't mixes, they're histologically incompatible grafts. They aren't songs, they're "what do I do next? I can't think of anything so I guess I'll close my eyes, reach into the hat, and splice the next 16 bars on."

Wow, this review seems excessively harsh, but Uh-Oh is frustrating because: 1) it is an Asphodel release, and they have done right in the past and 2) there are a few good tracks on this CD (LP) that undoubtedly took some effort, like tracks 1 and 2, and some of the darker tracks that other reviewers have bellyached about. These tracks tell me that Tipsy is capable of better stuff and that Uh-Oh isn't worth your money. If Tipsy is reading this review then sorry, guys, for being so mean. No, wait, I'm not going to apologise; I really don't like this record. Oh, hell, OK, I'm sorry. But I'm not going to buy another Tipsy. I'll save my money for We's next release.

the ultimate rockabilly god!.......2006-03-11

Move over Elvis, seriously. A lot of people credit Elvis and "Sun" as the force behind rockabilly, but Charlie Feathers was right there to make it happen, organizing many sessions there, and working with the greats, including Elvis and Cash. This stuff is gold, and the liner notes alone are worth the purchase price. Charlie gives a rundown on how he got that sound, how the scene developed etc., and the tracks are just a bonus! This CD will always have a reserved spot in my changer.

Not the most Feathers recordings in one place, but some of the best.

We first borrowed this CD from the library--but then had to buy our own copy! My 4-yr-old son and 2-yr-old daughters love it--the title song really makes them giggle. Definitely worth the purchase.

Rosenshontz is amazing!.......2000-10-09

All of Rosenshontz's music is amazing. The songs are hysterical and adults love them just as much as kids do. These songs will stay with your kids their whole lives, and they will still be able to sing them to you twenty years from now.

Best CD In My Radio.......2005-05-20

I've known the artists of Justus Boyz for ever(i wasnt even born when my parents knew them) and i've never ever listened to any of their Cd's. but one day i decided to steal this Cd From my dad and listen to it. and ive liked it ever since! i listen to it everyday at home. i even took pictures with them so when everybody has their cd's i can be like "hey i knew them first" and then all my friends would be jelous but then i can introduce them and be nice about it.

Retro-flavoured Gold Mine.......2005-02-14

Wow! I'm a 80's music fanatic... so, boy was I thrilled to stumble upon Justus Boyz. If an act that sounds like a cross between Erasure and The Cars is your thing, then you will no doubt fall in love this album. My two favourite key tracks are Uh Oh and Forever Man....but there is so much more here to enjoy as well. Great great hooks (and beats) laced throughout the enire disc. I'm always bopping my head everytime I play it. If you like retro flavoured 80s music, Justus Boyz will definitely leave you smiling ear to ear.
Lots of ear candy. My friends love it too. Retro, yet fresh.
Radio should be this exciting. Thank god for internet radio. That's where I discovered them.
Judging by the pics on their album, they're not too hard to look at either.
Can't wait to hear more!!!!

GUILTY PLEASURE.......2004-11-25

Justus for All


FOT (that's Friends of Towleroad) Justus Boyz, have their song "Uh Oh" posted on one of my favorite mp3 blogs, Fluxblog. Matthew Perpetua writes "This may end up being your guilty pleasure, but I am unashamed, and neither are the Justus Boyz. It takes some real courage and conviction to make music like this, and your target demo doesn't even know who you are because you don't have Girls Aloud or Justin Timberlake's promotional budget.
