The most restrained album of Pere Ubu's career, 1982's SONG OF THE BAILING MAN was the group's last before a five-year hiatus. Newest Ubu member Mayo Thompson (vocals, guitar), who had joined prior to 1981's THE ART OF WALKING, is almost entirely in control here, and the results sound more than a little like the whimsical art-rock of Thompson's once-and-future home, Red Krayola.
Although group leader David Thomas still sings the majority of the songs, even he seems to have retooled his unique vocal style to conform with the mood set by Thompson's skittering, playful guitar lines and Tony Maimone's springy, melodic bass. SONG OF THE BAILING MAN is considerably less dark and more song-oriented than the albums which preceded it, but it also lacks the pop tendencies of the albums made after the group's 1987 reformation.
Recorded in August and December 1981, and January 1982.
Unknown Contributor Roles: Allen Ravenstine; Anton Fier; Tony Maimone.
Pere Ubu: David Thomas (vocals); Mayo Thompson (guitar); Anton Fier (piano, marimba, drums, percussion); Allen Ravenstine (synthesizer); Tony Maimone (bass).
Q (1/00, p.140) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...more satisfying to early Ubu fans....partly the sound of a band chasing its own tail, they still osund like they're having a fine time."
Alternative Press (4/00, pp.95-6) - 4 out of 5 - "...continues the downbeat trend, with even its more rocking tracks...suffused with melancholy confusion....This disc is an essential purchase, but they're definitely not dancefloor or party fodder."
The Wire (4/00, p.63) - "...Swathed in layers of reverb-as-sugarcoating and [drummer, Anton] Fier's backbeats ensure that every song here moves several bpm faster than anything else in [their] catalog....easily Ubu's most accessible material..."

Song Of The Bailing Man
$11.39
CHRISTOPHER WILSON BIO "Read On"--the second release from American singer/songwriter Christopher Wilson--is a multifaceted indie pop/rock excursion from start to finish. Replete with timeless lyrics, melodic guitar hooks and Wilson’s trademark emotive vocals, each track stands unique in melody and sonic textures, further demonstrating Wilson’s songwriting prowess: "Out There Eddy" trumpets the plight of runaways; "If Only" touches upon the universal feelings of regret and pining for true love; "Opening the Lotus" exalts love metaphorically as the light sustaining all life on earth; "Facelift" unveils the darkness of deception; "No Such Thing" evokes the disillusionment and rage of the struggling working class--hard rock anthem style. "Read On" is about real people in an unreal world of artifice and selfishness.“The songs I chose to record for 'Read On' were based solely on their lack of uniformity with regard to their overall sound, lyrical theme and vibe” says Wilson, “The juxtaposition of the songs on the CD is totally intentional, taking the listener on a joyride that spans from alternative pop to ambient acoustics to hard rock. All of the songs were inspired by real life situations and a few of them are totally autobiographical.”Hailed by Indie-Music.com as "a troubadour from olden times who's just visiting this era," Christopher Wilson emerged onto the Houston scene with the 2001 release of his solo debut CD "East Mall Daze" on his own Cattle Call Records label, which eventually hit the streets via Southwest Distribution. The combination of Wilson’s dynamic vocals, guitar prowess and pop/rock writing ...

Don Charbonneau's Northern HighwayThis article was written on May 23/06 by Brenda Grundtof wawa-news.comIt's been just over a year since I listened to Wildwood "Through Tom's Eyes" a CD written and performed by local resident Don Charbonneau. In that CD, Don gave listeners a glimpse into what he believed Tom Thomson may have felt as he explored and painted in the Algonquin Park area many years ago. Tom Thomson, a truly gifted Canadian artist, painted with members of the Group of Seven, and helped inspire them with his paintings of Algonquin Park. That album was an unique collaboration between Herschel Payne, a concert violinist and artist in residence ...

"I don't need to be saved / I don't even need to heal / there is beauty in anguish / that I promise I will yield / I'm okay / You're okay / I'm okay / Everything's all right this way."
 - Kelly Buchanan, "I'm Okay"

Everything is more than all right for New York's Kelly Buchanan. With her self-titled 2008 release, she shines as an unflappable rock 'n roll vixen. Her new album is a tableau of mature songs, gorgeous arrangements, simple hooks and a velvet voice. It's a tribute to looking for hope and happiness, challenging yourself to better your life and finding the balance to live up all the detours in the meantime. And it’s a new direction for Buchanan.

Kelly Buchanan lived nine lives before she ever left her teens. She nursed an ailing father at 11, was at a boarding school at 13 and at 15 lived alone in a motel and worked at IHOP. She celebrated her sweet 16 with her bandmates at her public highschool in France and at 17 she was living and volunteering in a squatter town in Guayaquil, Ecuador. There she starred in TV commercials, radio ads, and joined the national ...
