Rajah Pink and Wading Pool Blue *NEW*
I am loud and soft and arrogant and like to swim. The record
certainly is not loud. It is soft and arrogant. It is a lot of things that are
contradictory. It is happy and sad, cautious but hopeful, at once passive and
at battle, hallowed yet earthbound. It is a celebration of beauty.
8 song CD EP : G-Rajah
BOM
Smattering returns with 9 new songs that they sell as a
single. The St. Paul Pioneer Press called it "a hootenanny for a ghost town,
all wooden milk crates and battered headphones, second-hand amps and a nonexistant
lyric sheet".
So remember, It's not about design, it's just about good space.
9 song CD EP: G-BOM
Sissy
Bar
A maxed out stroke featuring Matt Balloon Guy, Ed Polara
& Bill Mountain Singers. Dead on good & loud. Like a super-group power-trio
should be. Shock songs. No long songs. Tributes to cool moves.
CD : G-21
Scapegoats
Are Always Friendly
A beautiful 7" Extended Play view of south of the border,
in stories and songs. Recorded on Franklin Ave, this majicians companion piece
is sure to give you years of harmonizing pleasure. 4 songs by the man with a
million songs. One for every country. Not Country.
4 song 7" EP : G-17
Sound
Spectrogram of a Casual Utterance
The madness continues with 13 new gems. Mr Olson will kill
you with songs of space, gum, sound, love and malcontention, which is not saying
there are bad vibes anywhere. All from scratch, no box mix here. You can tape
dance to it.
cassette : G-7
Tone
Bored
Cigarettes, Diet Coke, and a four track borrowed for just
one weekend. Wordy guitar ditties are the result. with a sexy smoky voice too.
Features, "Philly Blunt T-shirt". This is what happens when you allow someone
to become Singer/ Songwriter/ Performer/ Arranger/ Engineer/ Producer.

POOLING
After
a two-year break from Mountain Singers, Bill started work on an all new album
earlier this year. To get things started, he went back to old songs looking
to capture certain feelings, and in listening to those tapes realized that music
was still sounding very exciting to him and deserved to be re-mastered and released
on CD. This album would also serve to reintroduce the Mountain Singers music
to old fans and help find a whole new crowd, prior to the new album later this
summer.
Most of these songs have been released over the past 5 years on singles, cassettes and various artist collections. There are two songs on this collection that were recorded and played live many times but never previously released.
CD 11 Songs
Ta-Hu-Wa-Hu-Wai
Another
leap forward in style. One song has a string section. One song is about cold
weather killing the bees that are trying to kill you. There is dazzling horn
playing all over the place. The whole band kicks it on some songs, and the king
of the mountain sings alone on others. This is better than any songs you've
heard at Walton Mountain family picnics. Comes in a lovely package printed on
grocery bag paper.
cassette : G-30
Corn Sweetener
The follow up to one of the more powerful ep's ever released.
14 new gems with a head full of humor & hummable hiccups. Ethnic numbers,
electronic ditties, jazz/blues spins, and memorable odes. Do you like cello
as much as I do? Grasp it.
cassette : G-22
Chicken E.P.
Stike up any ol' band and watch 'em melt in the shadow of
the Mountain Singers. For songs in the traditional Teamsters key. When the pickle
jar is used properly the vocal treatments will astound you. Anyone with the
brains of Job will know how to sing along the first time they listen to this
beauty. Galvanized.
4 song 7" E.P : G-17
Live At The Newport Jazz-Folk Festival 1983 (I'm
In Love)
All the advantages of modern technology crammed into one
guy with the efficiency of a Toyota. Rewire the toaster with a glue gun for
all the ambiance of being passed by a tractor trailer with no muffler. Who needs
band members when you have boxes that go beep.
cassette : G-3
Taking name inspiration from the New York label of the 70's and the black
six-legged hard-shelled insect (in both fragrance and look), the music itself
is not unlike the bits between songs on the Mother's Weasels Ripped My Flesh
experiment. Drops here, squabs there. Bleeps here, squelch's there. Don't get
me wrong, there are instrumental sounds. But pretty anonymous stuff really.
You know the sounds underneath the wall in Pink Floyd? Stolen. It's very fun
to drive around in your car and just groove to the non groove of "With The".
The tape is made up of edited bits of many live jams. I think the liner note
suggests 7 such sessions. These sessions had nothing in common except the
location of recording and master controller (Warren Defever: His Name Is
Alive: 4ad Records). There is no overriding mission, in hindsight, the
sessions just seemed to have a common thread. Then all the bits get cut
together to form 2 "pieces(?)". It's got a sense of humor too. If it was left
up to a one word description that one word would have to be: Canadian.

Drug Testing In The Workplace
This
record stems from a basic premise conceived during a trip to the men's washroom.
While on tour Tim R from Red Red Meat and Ed A from Polara ran into each other
and a challenge was issued. "We can do your songs!" "Oh yeah! Well
we can do your songs!" Cool! It was like two bruisers lookin' for a milksop
to pick on. It got nastier then a hot foot. Red Red Meat laid down their version
of "Listening Now" from Polara's debut album. Then came Polara kickin'
through the heart of glass on "Carpet Of Horses" from Red Red Meat's
latest album "Bunny Gets Paid". The good lord won. This is one hell
of a record. Buy it now, because they won't last long.dual a-sided split 7" single : G-25
Scorched
Youth Policy
The second shot of the avalanche to come. 3 new songs with
the future at hand. Inspired by a river in Pennsylvania and attributed to a
warming of the ice caps. The full force love of guitar comes to town on the
biggest horse and buggy ever.
7" single : G-20
Counting
Down
The debut of greatness. 2 minutes of pop + 2 minutes of
power = da bomb! Enjoy a cigarette, an OK brand soda, and this single for a
night of ecstasy. Ed Ackerson and his hired guns will not let you down.
