Synopsis

Album Description

Great Big Island and The City Limits are proud to join forces to bring this important collection of songs to the attention of the world. Andras Jones is one of the most ambitious and exciting songwriters of our time and with this collection of WTO-era anti-holiday compositions he has delivered a very eclectic song cycle deconstructing some of our culture's most beloved holidays. It is our belief that these songs will be with us long after most of today's hits are a distant memory. A bold assertion? Perhaps. Check out the songs for yourself and see what we mean.

CD Reviews

Much better than I'd hoped

Rachel Crane | San Francisco, CA USA | 11/22/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I was expecting lots of cinicism and bitterness, but there's not too much on here. The good thing is that the bits of cinicism and bitterness don't get in the way of the catchy music. Jones' lyrics sound cute, witty and sincere. "Frankstein Valentine" is one of the most adorable (and funny) love songs I've heard. This disc shows how good things can be when an intelligent guy picks up an accustic guitar. Highly recommended, slightly pop-y rock music. (And those "Explicit Lyrics" are only on one track; not very offensive.)"
