he sings about a sock full of rocks and running the little clown car off the road. The clincher
is when the judge frees the protagonist of the story because, after all, he only killed a
clown. (Now, the mandatory disclaimer because some wack job might think killing an actual
clown might be a good idea: Don’t do it. This song is only a joke. It’s funny because no one
really likes clowns anyway. Clowns are creepy, just ask Stephen King.)
Track 5 - Little Bit Lied To - by Susan
SurfTone - The bio sheet says that she is out of
Beavertown, Oregon, but I would not have been
surprised if she came out of Texas. This track has
Buddy Holly’s influence all over it. I really like
this song. The guitar is good. The rhythm is
infectious and the vocals sound good. You cannot
really ask for anything more in a pop song. Well
done Susan.
Track 6 - A Spy For Love - by Mia Moravis
had no idea they were making a new James
-I
Bond film. They must be, because this track
is
absolutely meant to be the theme song for a
James Bond flick. The camp factor is over the
top
as Mia sultrily sings that she is a Spy For
Love. The thing is that despite the intentional
campiness and the omnipresent musical
kitsch, the music on this track is really well
played. Mia has a very good voice and the
band actually makes the song groove. (I do have to wonder how many times they had to do a
retake because the band was cracking up?)
