Rhino's stream of Dr. Demento compilations continues with The Very Best of Dr. Demento, which basically hauls out the Demento standards -- Barnes & Barnes' "Fish Heads," Allan Sherman's "Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter From Camp)," Napoleon XIV's "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!," and the Firm's "Star Trekkin'" chief among them -- one more time. ~ Heather Phares
Rhino's seemingly endless stream of Dr. Demento compilations continues with The Very Best of Dr. Demento, which basically hauls out the Demento standards -- Barnes & Barnes' "Fish Heads," Allan Sherman's "Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter From Camp)," Napoleon XIV's "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!," and the Firm's "Star Trekkin'" chief among them -- one more time. However, novelty rock fans who already own virtually any of the other Dr. Demento collections probably don't need this one as well; there's just too much repetition from the other volumes to make this one worthwhile. ~ Heather Phares Dr. Demento: The Very Best Of Music Dr. Demento: The Very Best Of Songs | 1. | Poisoning Pigeons in the Park - Tom Lehrer |

Exploring the edgier, noir side of acoustic driven rock, Marie Black’s rich lyrical tales of existential, political and emotional groove dwellings have taken fans on exciting, thought provoking journeys far beyond the confines of San Francisco and Austin (her former hometowns) and Portland, Oregon, where she’s built an enthusiastic following these past few years. Writing songs about love, loss, rape, despotism, healing, strength and hope, the multi-talented singer/songwriter—whose latest album Water Me, is emerging this summer--has transported them from a starry desert night to a moonless night in the Tenderloin, where she’s invited the curious to get in touch with their innermost longings. The title of Water Me comes from an idea that famed psychologist James Hillman once called the “Acorn Theory,” whereby a seed is planted in your heart and when it’s allowed to grow, you become a whole, authentic person. Black’s been on that journey since her days writing recording and performing in the Bay Area, when she released her first recording Saints under the name Marie Swan. While Saints received wide critical acclaim and airplay throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe, the new 12 track collection (which concludes with an instrumental coda of the powerfully hypnotic title track) is a more intense and rocking musical experience that moves away somewhat from her youthful musings about love and chronicles her blossoming as a more social and reflective (and thus more universal) songwriter. “There are several themes running through these tracks,” says Black, who studied voice for five years with Raz Kennedy of Bobby McFerrin’s Voicestra. “Many are about simply being true to yourself and others like ‘Stepping Up The Vines’ and ‘Amphibian’ are about not allowing yourself to be suckered into following the wrong paths. Overall, Water Me is about finding the strength for getting through many of life’s challenging times and keeping on with a positive attitude.” An explosive and compelling live performer, ...
