larson3.jpg Tim Larson - No Weapons, No Allies
$12.99
Don't know where TIM LARSON got the mud on his boots. Maybe he stepped into one of Richie Daley's potholes. Chicago like Detroit was a destination for southern white migrants as well as African-Americans. A lot of the country that Tim evokes was secreted in the apartments in Uptown. The longing for the return south that Bobby Bare sang about in 'Detroit City' or Haggard captured in 'Sidewalks of Chicago' was a very real thing. Now that the city is being gentrified a lot of the transplanted heirs of the country tradition are finding themselves alienated in a faux suburban landscape. Tim strips it all down to a single suitcase that is easy to carry. What we have here is a Chicago sound that would leave the Phairs, Vedders and Corgans bewildered.

RAWPOWER3.jpg M.O.T.O - Raw Power
$0.00
Originally planned as “Metallic K.O.” but Tom Jones threatened legal action. Paul Caporino and company unleash more rocking humdingers on the world dominated by pap (not inspiring pop/power pop/pop punk) including yet another fresh weenie song "Getting It Up For Physics." M.O.T.O. have a feel for common anxiousness, desperation, fear, vulnerability, and adventure people feel when hungry for love; simultaneously mining areas of great old Chicago power pop bands like Green with The RAMONES, DICKIES, DIDGITS etc. Energy and wit!
