The Pointed Sticks' one studio album is one of those pleasures that is utterly of its time as well as lasting beyond it -- not a bad legacy at all, considering the ups and downs the band went through to finally record it. To be fair, the giddy power pop style the quintet specialized in was fairly crowded and in ways Perfect Youth is less distinct than simply just what was needed. Gord Nichols' keyboards aren't anywhere near as frenetically insane as Barry Andrews' were for XTC, for instance, though they are a fine counterpart to Steve Nieve's work for Elvis Costello. But nothing about Perfect Youth sounds half-assed -- credit in particular for ending on what might be its best song, "Part of the Noise" -- while there are two strong points to the band that anchor everything down. First there's Nick Jones' vocals, high, snotty, but never totally harsh, a delicious little whine (and this is meant as a compliment!). He has a smooth, easy way around his lines that works wonderfully -- check the break saluting "the young Canadians" on the title track or the sweet verses on "American Song," sounding like he's gently cascading down the descending arrangement. Meanwhile, Ken Montgomery aka Dimwit brings plenty of energy and skill from his previous Subhumans gig to never simply be a timekeeper, as can be heard in the subtle but strong fills and shifts on songs like "When She's Alone" and a great cover of the Sonics' "The Witch"; he might not be Rat Scabies but he's a good rival to his fellow local drummer Chuck Biscuits. Getting Bob Rock in to handle one of his earliest productions turned out to be an inspired move, with the deft additions of brass on some songs adding extra punch. [Sudden Death's reissue of the album 25 years on, besides adding appreciative liner notes, includes four bonus tracks -- the pre-album "Somebody's Mom" single, a radio remix of "American Song," and compilation track "Angeline."] ~ Ned Raggett

Of the many reissues and career overviews of seminal yet fairly obscure first-wave hardcore punk bands released in the early 2000s, perhaps the most interesting of the lot is Touch & Go's Fix retrospective, AT THE SPEED OF TWISTED THOUGHT. The Detroit quartet called it quits in 1982 after releasing a mere two seven-inches, just as the scene was gaining an identity. While there's ...

Perfect Youth
CD $16.45
I enjoy finding surprising ways to arrange classic songs like these: a Brazilian-samba version of 'Fly Me to the Moon,' a reggae treatment for 'Summertime,' and 'Come Together' as a hip-hop/funk tune. It is such a thrill to see ideas take shape through the talents and skills of my fellow musicians.A wonderful recording that captures my five-piece group in two concert settings, and reflects the spontaneity, creativity, collaboration, and the "go-for-it" attitude of a live performance.Happy listening and welcome to the show!- John Adams___BiographyAs an accomplished acoustic and electric bassist, John Adams is one of the Southwest's most versatile and in-demand jazz, pop and studio musicians. He currently leads various performing groups. John served as Music Director and performed weekly for three-and-a-half years at Dallas' prestigious Crescent Court Hotel. Adams holds Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from the University of North Texas, where for ten years he was the jazz bass professor. He is also active as a producer/arranger, a composer, clinician, and an instructional ...

John Michael Hersey How Am I Here CD  (2007)

Perfect Youth
CD $9.85
Hersey (born John Michael Runowicz, May 7,1962, Oxford, New Jersey) started his musical career in the late 1970s as lead singer and guitarist in Shale, a rock/top 40 cover band that eventually moved on to performing new wave style original songs on the New Jersey college circuit.In 1983 Shale disbanded and Hersey moved to New York City where he sang his tunes in the folk clubs of Greenwich Village while working on a degree in music composition at New York University. Upon graduation, he tried his hand at classical guitar but eventually returned to his rock and roll roots. By the end of the 80s he was playing guitar with New York garage band Love Planet Janet. When that group broke up in the early 90s, he had a one year stint with Liquid Scintillation Cocktail, a group led by Barry Smith of Ice Nine fame. Meanwhile, since 1987 Hersey had been working steadily with legendary rhythm and blues vocal group Speedo and the Cadillacs. He started out as their guitarist and eventually became second tenor and musical director as well. And all the while Hersey had been writing songs and doing a few scattered solo gigs. Then in 1995, he released a solo acoustic album called “Bare Bones” and returned ...
