The Short Stop
by R.C. Avellanosa 

It's "Big School" at the homefront. Never realized the beauty of this record until I replayed and pondered it this time. Robert's young voice resonates along with brother Jim's guitars, Mitch's scratches and Kevin's drums. You'd think for a moment that it was Sprout singing. It is simply pop, punk and rock. That's the best way to put it. The shortest "Rubber Man" confirms it. You know cause you know cause you know, like a Nirvana bonus track. And "Hey Aardvark" reminds me a little like the shortest Beatles song. Lo-fi royalty at it's finest, Guided By Voices, made this around the days when alternative rock was commercialized, the hey days of modern rock bands. And for a 4-Track recording, I should say this is how it is. This is how it should sound and for sure Tobin would agree. And I think I got to have that gelatin, ice cream, plum.

Notes on STATIC AIRPLANE JIVE by Andrew Stecz

"...are more sonic ramblings of the street philosopher, you follow, listen carefully, and wait for that brilliant moment that will make all the waiting and listening worth it…."
