Another in an ongoing series of CD Baby-solicited mini-reviews I've written for listmember releases, this one is for Tim Mungenast's 'The Un-Stableboy'. While the overt loopcontent is possibly subliminal, some of you might enjoy this release. Here's what I posted to CD Baby: *************************************** If your benchmark for vocal production is anywhere near the Def Leppard end of the spectrum, if you believe sonic imperfections are the reason why tape recorders have rewind buttons, if you think Roky Erickson played shortstop for the Texas Rangers, if you’ve ever been described as ‘dour’, or if non sequiturs disorient you and/or private jokes make you paranoid, then stay far, far, far away from this CD. On the other hand, if you’ve ever worn a Greg Brady fringed suede jacket, owned a lava lamp before they developed that kitschy retro appeal, smiled knowingly at the fingernail scene in ‘Animal House’, or if you just happen to like catchy psychedelic pop songs with a vintage vibe, there’s a very good chance you’ll enjoy Tim Mungenast’s ‘The Un-Stableboy’. If you can imagine a much less-uptight Jim Morrisonesque baritone singing with a band comprised of circa-SF Sorrow Pretty Things and various early Soft Machinists, you’d be in the right neighborhood. Maybe. Right next door, Syd Barrett is jamming with the Mamas and the Papas, and for some reason there’s a semi-invisible goat wandering around. Light some candles, listen to the CD and draw your own conclusions. *********************************************** -t- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
