Paloma: the ex-blonde bombshell, current red-haired knockout, who has bad hair days, astigmatism, migraines and social anxiety. This means she experiences fear, apprehension or worry regarding social situations and being evaluated by others, that the world is very blurry for her without use of corrective lenses, that she ingests large amounts of caffeine, aspirin and ibuprofen (acetaminophen is useless) to ward off pain, and that she requires a ridiculous amount of hair product to look her best. Paloma is both beautiful and smart. Mostly, she is smart. She is a nerd, quite boring, shy and moody. She is so moody and unpredictable that it is difficult for her to get along well with others. She is not very good at spelling and has a tendency to make typos that she usually fails to notice. Paloma talks to her cat and does not like to drive across railroad tracks. Once, she cut herself with a pair of scissors. She is a genius and has a sick obsession with star shaped items. Recently, she bought six large bags of gold and silver star shaped confetti and plans to sprinkle it everywhere she goes, like a trail of breadcrumbs to lead her home. She has a beautiful pair of red patent leather shoes and she loves to clean the apartment and dance in them. She is a romantic and likes to be given flowers, to have doors opened for her, and to be serenaded. She is completely mental. Paloma likes hot fudge sundaes and gin and tonic. (God, I love writing about myself in the third person) If you've read this far, tell me so, and I will figuratively send you a gold star.
"It sometimes entered Mr. Pontellier's mind to wonder if his wife were not growing a little unbalanced mentally. He could see plainly that she was not herself. That is, he could not see that she was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we would assume like a garment with which to appear before the world." -- Kate Chopin, The Awakening
My one and only love, Pirate Davey Jones, for never doing anything half-assed, for rubbing my back when I am tired and for putting up with Paloma's constant crazy.

I giggle a lot (and at things that others might not find funny) during my interviews and I tend to rudely interrupt and talk over people. If you don't like those qualities you can kiss my royal pirate ass.

When I was a kid, I liked to play with tape recorders. I'd pretend to be a radio dj or news reporter. When I was seven, I wrote, directed and produced a puppet show that was performed in my front yard. I made my own soundtrack by recording songs from the radio on my tape recorder. The puppet show had something to do with aliens invading the earth. I can't remember all the songs from my soundtrack, but two I remember including were Blondie's "Rapture," and The Romantics' "What I Like about You." Only two people actually watched the performance, and they were the kids next door. It was that day that I decided that I wanted to grow up to be Debbie Harry. Clearly, I did not grow up to be Debbie Harry, but I still hold the dream of a job in rock and roll.

"Anutha Kinda Brotha" is the debut LP from underground legend ART TERRY. Since moving to the UK from his native Los Angeles in the early 90s, Mr Terry has established himself as one of London's characters.
Describing Art's sound to the uninitiated usually involves debunking some of the stereotypes of what the 'typical' black Californian might play. Despite his jazz training, and coming of age to the sounds of classic soul and funk, these styles are only a part of his musical vision. His fascination with folk styles, classical music, punk rock, pure pop, easy listening, musical theatre and the European avant garde have taken him on different paths from most...
The result is an orchestral pop record full of sonic inventiveness, whether it's the blend of Shuggie Otis's 60s California and Sun Ra's ancient Egypt on 'Bible', Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons leading a mariachi band on 'Escort', or the Walt Disney music box orchestra of 'Miss Dominatrix', but whilst this is very much a sonic feast, we shouldn't overlook Art's extraordinary lyrical adeptness, and the distinctive character this brings to the proceedings, with a knack for unique and colourful imagery, and how like a great short story writer he is able to paint an engaging picture whilst keeping back from casting judgement on his characters, always leaving open ends for the listener to tie; giving us the feeling that however far astray someone might have gone, there is always sympathy and human feeling for them in Art's mind...
see you OCT 3rd!! :) Little Red Radio from LA playing LIVE! guest designer from San Francisco! + 3 SD ones! SPREAD THE WORD! $2 drinks until 11pm!!!!!!!!

"Modern Mediaeval" is the third LP from singer-songwriter DAVID GARSIDE, and the first to receive the full Frizz Records vinyl treatment. It’s also clearly the most fully-realised statement of his distinctive vision so far…
It’s an easy route to locate David in the tradition of his ‘classic’ influences (McCartney, Nick Drake, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, The Beach Boys, Love, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, Dexy’s…), but there are few songwriters working today that have absorbed these influences so fully, and arrived at a mature style as David has…
This is ’singer-songwriter’ music in the sense that it’s focus is on song-craft and the unfolding of the lyrical vision of a single individual, but if so then it’s definitely at the sophisticated end of the scale (’progressive’ if that term isn’t too loaded…), filed alongside ‘Bryter Layter’, ‘The Hissing Of Summer Lawns’, ‘Pretzel Logic’ or ‘Surf’s Up’...another FRIZZ RECORDS instant classic!
"Modern Mediaeval" can be downloaded from the iTunes Store
The album is also available on heavyweight vinyl LP, or on Digipack CD from www.FrizzRecords.com & all good retailers

"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" is the debut release from AUGUST, the London based band centred around the songwriting partnership between vocalist VEDINA MOSE and multi-instrumentalist / producer RAPHAEL MANN (MR HUDSON / JOY JOSEPH / ART TERRY), with master drummer CLEAN CUT MARK and clarinetist / vocalist MAREE CHOIE completing the core line-up, and a supporting cast including ART TERRY (keyboards), SHOHEI KAWAMOTO (AKA Japanese producer Baraki, Bass clarinet, soprano sax and flute), and KAI HOFFMAN (French horn)
Always an act that juggled a diverse set of influences, the album has been compared to artists as diverse as KATE BUSH, PRINCE, DE LA SOUL, SLY STONE, MADLIB, SERGE GAINSBOURG and THE DELFONICS, for its concoction of wild experimentation and traditional song craft, organic production and futuristic electronic touches, funk bass & drums and jazz & orchestral references, infectious melodies and lyrical flights of fancy...with nods towards classic soul, JB funk, Studio One, 60s pop, psychedelia, left field hip hop, new wave, doo wop, tropicalia, high life, & avant garde jazz, without any song ever fitting squarely into any of those categories...new music, basically...and an instant classic!
"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" can be downloaded now from the iTunes Store
The album is also available on heavyweight vinyl LP in a sumptuous gatefold sleeve, or on Digipack CD from www.FrizzRecords.com & all good retailers
