Live Recording
The Thompson Twins: Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie (vocals). Additional personnel: Deborah Harry, Bob Marshall (spoken vocals); Keith Fernley (guitar, harmonica); Felicia (guitar); Reginald Hastings (slide guitar); David Palmer (drums). Producers: Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie, Steve Lillywhite. Engineers: Keith Fernley, Chris Dickie. Recorded at Maison Rouge Studios, London, United Kingdom. Big Trash was a successful attempt to add a stronger rhythmic sensibility to The Thompson Twins' sound, but the album failed to produce any hit bigger than the number 28 "Sugar Daddy," although there were several other strong numbers on the record. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine The Thompson Twins' first album after changing to a new label (and a new musical direction), BIG TRASH is a concept album about junk culture, thematically pitched between early Blondie and the B-52's. Tarty, glammed-up, and rhythmically aggressive, these surprisingly noisy songs can't be confused for earlier, more relaxed hits like "Hold Me Now" or "You Take Me Up." Not that they pale in comparison; the opening "Sugar Daddy," with its slinky, forceful groove and unforgettable "nah nah nah" hook in the chorus, is one of the Twins' finest singles ever. The Blondie comparison is echoed in Debbie Harry's presence on several tracks, and the Twins' new backing band--featuring future Letterman band guitarist Felicia Collins--invests tunes like "Queen of the USA" and "TV On" with enough power to make Allanah Currie's snarky lyrics hit home. BIG TRASH is an overlooked gem of an album.

| | Ultravox Lament CD (1984) (Import) Bonus Tracks; United Kingdom
Big Trash
$10.15 LAMENT was a 1980s-era addition to the canon of synth-pop albums from Ultravox, with the band scoring some hit singles with the upbeat "Dancing With Tears in my Eyes" and the mournful title track. This version of the album includes seven additional songs. CD contains 7 bonus tracks. Ultravox were in a gray mood as they launched into their seventh studio album, LAMENT. With the band's previous existential angst now pooling around personal anguish, the album's title track was a study in languorous melancholy, where emotional pain lingers on and on. Even "One Small Day," the most celebratory song on the set, battles depression but dismally loses the war. No wonder Ultravox were so keen to escape into the past, with "Man of Two Worlds" taking them back to the gloriously romanticized days ...

| | Spandau Ballet True CD (1983) Remastered; Enhanced CD
Big Trash
$10.25 This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. By 1983, with the new romantic movement they'd sprung from a rapidly fading memory, the members of Spandau Ballet showed they had no intention of traveling the same path. Always ambitious, the British quintet really got down to business: Gone were the kilts, frilly shirts, and makeup -- as well as the sometimes chilly electronics of their first two albums. Instead, ...

| | Brian Houser Never Look Back CD (2003)
Big Trash
$13.15 Historically, country music has always been about the country, hence the name, and the common man who worked hard to make a living from it. Its heroes were simple folk. They drove pickups, not Porsches, drank beer, not martinis, worked outside, not in a high rise. They worked hard, got married, most stayed married and they raised their kids to still say "Yes, sir" and "No, ma'am". And, they liked to kick back with their good friends after a long day, actually watch the sun go down and pick a little guitar.Somewhere along the way, country music began to change. It lost the ways of the common man. Maybe it was because those who were not from the country, admired its simplicity and honesty and wanted to adopt its lifestyle. Or maybe it was just man changing the course of nature. Boots became fancier and never got dirty, jeans got tighter, way too tight to actually work in, and the music became more focused on what sells and not on what really is. But, now there is a new troubadour for the common man, Brian Houser. His roots grew deep in the country where he was raised in the rural Missouri countryside, just south of the city near the town of Antonia. The youngest of four children born to Brant and Jane Houser, Brian grew up in a small house that his parents actually built with their own hands.With none of the modern electronic conveniences of today to amuse their children, Brant and Jane encouraged them to be interested in music and always had a wealth of instruments around the house while the children were growing up. This opportunity for musical exploration, combined with the musical interests of his older brother Doug, were to be the seeds that later would germinate into a musical career for Brian. Initially, he started learning to play the banjo in his early high school years but quickly switched to guitar when he discovered that bluegrass music, although fun, was not as expressive as some of the new artists that country music was spawning at that time.Brian's outside music influences were deep-seated in the 70's. In 1975, Brian's brother took him to a Kris Kristofferson concert. This event was a turning point musically for Brian as he finally found a form of country music that spoke openly, honestly, and artistically about life and living. This would open the door to other legendary favorites, most notably Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash. The next big musical turning point was when Brian moved to Texas in 1977 and started his first band in San Antonio. It was really a coming home of sorts as Texas, his other true love, is where many generations of Housers were born including his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. And, the strong Texas heritage of the common man greatly influenced his future songwriting. A carpenter by trade, music has always been a form of release ...
