Thanks to Syd for finding this great collage of Batman clips set to the Marble Tea tune I'm Batman (and special kudos to the guy who put it together...well done, whoever you are)! Thanks to Mike & Jim too for pulling it over into the Facebook world. I really love those old black & white clips!

--------------------------------------------------

"...some of the most intelligently written lyrics in pop music today...will have you wondering how all this musical diversity and lyrical genius could come from one man." ~IndepenDisc.com

"...ear catching and damned near perfect 3-minute pop songs...a whirlwind journey through a number of styles, moods, and philosophical concerns." ~NewMystics.com

"...turns a blind eye to the emotional pretension and objective distance many songwriters exhibit, describing real life from sometimes unusual, always engaging perspectives." ~IndependentClauses.com

"...precisely crafted musical gems that perfectly mirror the mood and subject of their lyrics, and all are sung by Berman in a somewhat deadpan vocal style that permits his wit and whimsy to consistently shine." ~LuckyDogRadio.com

"...unhateable innocent gentle pop. Perfect tunes and drive. Like Miracle Legion....XTC run over by the lo-fi folk bandwagon. Predictable until it isn't...I am laughing, but I am also enthralled. I want more of this good stuff!" ~HybridMagazine.com

13 wicked hard cheers for Lonesome Vampire Bill.  That was at least as much fun as I believe it was intended to be.  Much more fun than Danziggy.

Happy Halloween.  Tell the missus I said hello.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN 

Once drove an old sedan, up north, 
From a place in Sydney to Cairns; 
Then to Kuranda I went forth, 
By train, to look without set plans.

I browsed through the trendy market, 
With fresh fruits of tropical kind; 
Walked to the creek through lush thicket - 
Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

I dined in a scenic cafe; 
Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, 
Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, 
You go walkabout with your pen.” 

Request or question, I don’t know -
Assured voices, elderly men.
That’s now several years ago, 
And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
