Really, Really, Really, Really Weird Stories $6.08 John Shirley takes us on a journey from the mildly bizarre to the downright weird and then some in this, his latest collection of short fiction. The book incorporates some of Shirley’s classic stories along with some revised and hard to find material and is highlighted by nine never before published works. A must have for the Shirley reader or collector. Includes art work by Alan M. Clark. The 37 stories in this mind-shaking collection are grouped into four sections of ascending weirdness, from Really Weird to Really, Really, Really, Really Weird. Considering that the first entry, I Want to Get Married, Says the Worlds Smallest Man, concerns a 28-tall midget who weds a full-size, crack-smoking whore, to brutal effect, readers may rest assured that an unforgettable trip awaits them from cover to cover. But weirdness per se doesnt seem to be Shirleys aim, except insofar as outr subject matter (as in Skeeter Junkie, wherein the mind of a heroin addict enters the body of a mosquito) or prose style (e.g., the sentences of the potent and moving Ten Things to be Grateful For, as long and sinuous as anacondas) can wrench readers from their habitual frame of reference to experience the world afresh. The author of last years Black Butterflies demonstrates throughout a fecund imagination, wicked sense of humor and thematic seriousnessregarding the malleability of reality, the hellishness of drug abuse, the fragility of human constructthat render these tales as profound as they are sensational. Selected from 26 years of output, ranging from SF to dark fantasy to crime, drawn from books, magazines and a Web site (and with 10 entries never before published), the collection isnt all aces. But the majority of stories are, making this another virtuoso offering from a writer whose daring and originality continue to astonish. – Publishers Weekly Contents: * The Author Wants to Tell You… (Introduction) * REALLY WEIRD STORIES o I Want to Get Married!

Short Stories $17.99 Jon Anderson’s first project following his departure from Yes was to reunite with the equally airy Vangelis for a collaborative effort as Jon and Vangelis. Short Stories actually marks their second collaboration — the first took place on Vangelis’ 1975 album, Heaven and Hell, with the track “So Long Ago, So Clear.” The pair returns to that song’s successful formula of combining Anderson’s otherworldly voice with Vangelis’ pithy melodies in a few spots on their debut together, notably for the popular single “I Hear You Now” (which recalls Vangelis’ “To the Unknown Man”) and the middle section of “Far Away in Bagaad.” Otherwise, Short Stories favors amorphous arrangements that feature wisps of melody and little more (a style that has its precedent on Yes’ Tormato rather than their own solo work to date). The effect can be, frankly, underwhelming — “Curious Electric” and “Each and Everyday,” for example, seem content to settle for the happy accidents of collaboration rather than fusing their individual sounds into a cohesive whole. Despite a handful of nearly memorable moments, including the playful “Thunder” and the charming “Love Is/One More Time,” the pair would have had more success sticking to their established idioms — after all, China and Olias of Sunhillow were good albums — rather than trying to meet in some equidistant, ethereal plane. Given the record’s paper-thin arrangements, an appreciation for the music of Vangelis and Jon Anderson is no guarantee that Short Stories will please. ~ Dave Connolly, All Music GuidePerformers: Jon Anderson – Vocals; Raphael Preston – Guitar (Acoustic); Vangelis – Keyboards, Multi Instruments, Synthesizer |

Happy Sad $9.98 Easily Tim Buckley's most underrated album, Happy Sad was another departure for the eclectic Southern California-based singer/songwriter. After the success of the widely acclaimed Goodbye and Hello, Buckley mellowed enough to explore his jazz roots. Sounding like Fred Neil's Capitol-era albums, Buckley and his small, acoustic-based ensemble weave elegant, minimalist tapestries around the six Buckley originals. The effect is completely mesmerizing. On "Buzzin' Fly" and "Strange Feelin'," you are slowly drawn into Buckley's intoxicating vision. The extended opus in the middle of the record, "Love From Room 109," is an intense, complex composition. Lovingly under-produced by Jerry Yester and Zal Yanovsky, this is one of the finest records of the late '60s. ~ Matthew Greenwald, All Music GuidePerformers: Carter Collins - Conga; Carter C.C. Collins - Conga; David Friedman - Marimba, Percussion, Vibraphone; Tim Buckley - Guitar, Guitar (12 String), Vocals; John Miller - Bass, Bass (Acoustic); Lee Underwood - Guitar, Keyboards |

Grosse Pointe Blank $13.98 Director George Armitage’s Grosse Pointe Blank (which probably should be called John Cusack’s Grosse Pointe Blank, since he not only starred in it, but also co-wrote and co-produced it) is set at a ten-year high-school reunion in Grosse Pointe, MI, in the present day, that being the spring of 1996. Thus, ex-Clash member Joe Strummer, credited with the original score, could call upon music dating back to the mid-’80s for songs the characters, now in their late twenties, would know. You might expect, then, that those 1986 graduates would be grooving to, say, Heart’s “These Dreams” or “Greatest Love of All” by Whitney Houston. But, of course, Cusack and Strummer are much too hip for such popular fare. Instead, they put together a collection of edgy, British-oriented new wave and alternative rock, mostly from the early and mid-’80s, tracks by the likes of the Clash, the English Beat, the Specials, and the Jam, plus Americans Violent Femmes and Faith No More. Then there are ringers like Johnny Nash’s “I Can See Clearly Now,” which was a hit in 1972 when the main characters would have been about three years old, and Guns N’ Roses’ version of “Live and Let Die,” which wasn’t a hit until 1991. Okay, so this isn’t really the music that would have been popular with the 1986 graduating class in Grosse Pointe. Who cares? The soundtrack album works well, including a relaxed “remix” (actually a different version) of Pete Townshend’s “Let My Love Open the Door” as well as a new take on Violent Femmes’ “Blister in the Sun” called “Blister 2000.” Like the movie, which grossed 28 million dollars, the soundtrack album was a modest success, peaking at number 31, which inspired a follow-up collection, More Music From the Film Grosse Pointe Blank. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music GuidePerformers: Peter Balestrieri – Sax (Baritone), Vocals; Steve MacKay – Sax (Baritone) |

Best of Women’s Short Stories $20.48 This rich collection of stories explores the experiences and complexities of womanhood through a wide array of lenses. Edith Wharton’s Atrophy tells the heartbreaking story of Nora Fenway and her clandestine lover, now dying. A wife embraces fashionable “Bloomsbury” values yet sacrifices the most important thing of all in Katherine Mansfield’s Marriage a la Mode. A young lover’s dilemma is beautifully portrayed in Charlotte Mew’s powerful poetic narrative Some Ways of Love, while William Locke’s Ladies in Lavender tells the tale of two aging sisters who become romantically involved with a stranger. In The Yellow Wallpaper, Charlotte Perkins Gilman recounts a woman’s terrifying descent into madness. Also included are stories by Elizabeth Gaskell, Mary Lamb, and Mary Braddon. Sometimes joyful, sometimes sad, and always absorbing, the stories in this remarkable anthology are interpreted by Harriet Walter with tenderness and sensitivity. |

Sad Day on Planet Earth $16.98 Lillian Axe have always seemed to walk the line between melodic metal and riff-heavy metal, and perhaps unsurprisingly, they continue to do so on their 2009 offering, Sad Day on Planet Earth. Despite the only constant bandmember throughout the years being lead guitarist Steve Blaze, Lillian Axe’s aforementioned sonic approach still remains very much intact. In fact, you could probably convince an unsuspecting listener that Sad Day on Planet Earth was released circa Lillian Axe’s Love + War era. In other words, a heavy late-’80s metal vibe is detected throughout, especially on the vintage power ballad-esque “Within Your Reach,” as well as more headbanging material (“Down Below the Ocean”) and more melodic fare (“Ignite”). Musically, Sad Day on Planet Earth is sure to appeal to those who purchase a multi-day pass each year for Rocklahoma. ~ Greg Prato, RoviPerformers: Ken Koudelka – Drums; Derrick LeFevre – Guitar, Vocals; Michael T. Ross – Keyboards; Eric Morris – Bass, Guitar (Bass); Sam Poitevent – Guitar, Vocals (Background); Steve Blaze – Guitar, Keyboards, Vocals (Background) |

Stories $13.58 Milford Graves is a fantastic drummer for whom the simple act of hitting a drum calls for his whole body and mind to take over. He lives, thinks, and expresses himself through his contact with resounding objects. All he needed was an album that would do justice to his art. He had come close to it in 1998 with Grand Unification, his first solo CD for John Zorn’s Tzadik label. With Stories, he might have recorded the best solo percussion album ever. On this playground, there are no limits to what Graves can do, but no artifices to alter the sound. The recording quality is incredible, better than on the previous album. Nothing is lost in the mix; everything comes through pure and lively. This is the first time Graves has been recorded so faithfully. The performances themselves also belong to the man’s best work. The first half of the CD is comprised of five short pieces, while the second half contains “Evolving Pathways,” a 32-minute tour de force where Graves entertains, touches, surprises, and shows ubiquitous talents (no, there are no overdubs). He sings and talks throughout, totally captured by his own playing, never resorting to a fixed rhythm or organized structure, the music flowing in organic waves. The listener follows, captivated by the virtuosity, taken over by the powerful poetry of the percussionist. Traditional music categories like “world music,” “jazz,” or even “avant-garde” crumble miserably into dust as Graves pours his heart and soul into his playing, proving that all music is contained in the art of percussion. Very strongly recommended to anyone interested in percussion or simply wanting to hear what “totally uninhibited expression” really means. ~ François Couture, All Music GuidePerformers: Milford Graves – Drums, Percussion |

Target $11.98 Target is one of those Tom Scott records that gets forgotten about a lot. Certainly it comes from the middle of the 1980s just before the GRP era, when Scott was still leading the Saturday Night Live Band on occasion and looking around for a new sound. It’s the sound of a restless musician who gets the pop game, or at least has gotten it and is not sure of where to shift his focus next. The band is big and full of killer players: Harvey Mason, Ernie Watts, Ian Underwood, Victor Feldman, Paul Jackson, Neil Stubenhaus, Jim Horn, Trevor Feldman, Pete Christlieb, and Michael Boddicker, among others. The sound is a tad warmer than what Atlantic was releasing at the time, too. But the material, as good as some of it is — like the funky title track — also contains half-hearted pop ballads like “Come Back to Me” with Kenny James on vocals. “He’s Too Young,” with a fine vocal performance by Maria Muldaur, is marred by a terribly dated — and it was for the time — synth drum sound. There is also a truly bizarre moment when Lee Ving, former lead singer of Los Angeles hardcore band Fear raps and plays blues harmonica on “Gotta Get out of New York.” Then there’s “Lollipoppin’” which, while it contains the same dumb synth drum sound, also has some killer Rhodes by Feldman, synth work by Underwood, and a happening keyboard bassline. The grooving muted horn section on this reading of Dan Peck’s “The Biggest Part of Me,” has a wonderfully soulful feel with great kit work by Mason. The horn arrangements are in the pocket but restrained, allowing that lithe melody to shine through and, along with the title cut, it’s a contender for best tune on the set. The set closes with the stone-gone funky groover “Burundi Bump” by Scott and Feldman with excellent basslines, pulsing Rhodes work, a boatload of percussion, and Mason running the ensemble from his kit; the entire tune is rhythm based. So Target is, ultimately, a mixed bag, a hold-over record that was throwing everything at the wall to see what worked. Interestingly, what did was the basis for Scott’s sound at GRP. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music GuidePerformers: Tom Scott – Lyricon, Sax (Soprano), Sax (Tenor), Saxophone, Synthesizer, Wind; Judi Brown – Vocals (Background); Trevor Feldman – Fender Rhodes, Keyboards; Victor Feldman – Fender Rhodes, Keyboards, Percussion, Piano, Synthesizer; Jerry Hey – Flugelhorn, Horn, Trumpet; |

Well done, sir! This eclectic collection of short stories has something for readers of all ages. It should be on everyone’s coffee table and bedside night stand. The perfect travel companion for plane, train, subway, car or bus. What I like about the book is that you don’t have to read it in any order. Begin your reading at the first story that catches your eye! For those of us with a busy and sometimes hectic life, this book is the perfect escape! I hope John Daly intends to write more of these delightful stories. He really is a fiction writer! *The above accolades are all a product of the writer’s imagination inspired by poetic license. |

Love: Short Stories $8.96 This compelling and haunting collection of short fiction exposes issues of longing, obsession, and loss that undercut the perceptions of conventional romance and relationships between both lovers and strangers. Flailing characters reach desperately for each other and never quite connect; others reveal unmasked glimpses of themselves to total strangers in brief, everyday interactions. In the title story, the small act of an unlikely character exposes an unexpected dimension of love. In Surface Calm, a wife, bored with her everyday routines, is driven by loneliness to inflict pain on herself when her husband leaves on a business trip. Other stories in the collection explore similar juxtapositions of passion, horror, and spiritual transcendance. |

Mr. Sad Clown $15.98 While the BoDeans haven’t been especially prolific since the mid-’90s, Mr. Sad Clown finds the band commendably stepping up their productivity — it follows their previous release Still by a mere two years, impressive given that it’s only their third studio album since 1996. Still was an understated affair that reunited Sam Llanas and Kurt Neumann with producer T-Bone Burnett (who worked with the group’s on their masterful 1986 debut Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams), but Mr. Sad Clown finds the duo working on their own — Neumann produced and recorded the sessions at his studio in Texas, and he and Llanas handled all the instrumental chores themselves except for horns and some keyboards. And while Still often sounded like an (only intermittently successful) attempt to reconnect with the fire of the BoDeans’ best work, Mr. Sad Clown feels fresher and freer, with the duo taking more chances and mixing up their formula a bit while maintaining a firm grip on their essential strengths. Little if anything on Mr. Sad Clown feels like a radical departure from the BoDeans’ body of work, but despite the muted tempos that reflect the members’ pushing-fifty status, there’s a lean and insistent energy to the best cuts that’s a significant improvement from Still, and though Llanas’ voice doesn’t soar to the same heights it did in the ’80s, he sounds more committed on this material than he has in quite some time. The BoDeans are also willing to indulge their quirks a bit on these sessions, and they sound like they’re having fun with numbers like “Cheesecake Pan” and “Headed for the End of the World” that throw some different textures into their mix. Mr. Sad Clown still doesn’t return the BoDeans to the glories of their best work, but it reveals an imagination and commitment that’s been largely missing from their music, and it steers them into a direction that takes them somewhere they’ve needed to go for a while. Hopefully, it’s the first step towards a second wind for the band. ~ Mark Deming, RoviPerformers: Michael Ramos – Hammond B3, Trumpet; Samuel Llanas – Guitar (Acoustic), Vocals; Kurt Neumann – Bass, Drums, Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar (Electric), Keyboards, Percussion, Vocals; Joseph Serrato – Saxophone |

Micro Fiction: An Anthology of Fifty Really Short Stories $6.88 Ten years ago, Jerome Stern, director of the writing program at Florida State, initiated the World’s Best Short Short Story Contest. Stories were to be about 250 words long; first prize was a check and a crate of oranges.<br /><br />Two to three thousand stories began to show up annually in Tallahassee, and National Public Radio regularly broadcast the winner. But, more important, the Micro form turned out to be contagious; stories of this lack of length now dot the literary magazines. The time seemed right, then, for this anthology, presenting a decade of contest winners and selected finalists. In addition, Stern commissioned Micros, persuading a roster of writers to accept the challenge of completing a story in one page.<br /><br />Jesse Lee Kercheval has a new spin on the sinking of the Titanic; Virgil Suarez sets his sights on the notorious Singapore caning; George Garrett conjures up a wondrous screen treatment pitch; and Antonya Nelson invites us into an eerie landscape. Verve and nerve and astonishing variety are here, with some wild denouements.<br /><br />How short can a Micro be, you wonder. Look up Amy Hempel’s contribution, and you’ll see.<br />The World’s Best Short-Short Fictions in a Big, Little Book that you could probably carry in your Pocket. |
