ON TARGET MARKETING
ERIK MONGRAIN/Equilibrium: Used to be guys like this had to content themselves to blossom in obscurity, selling 1,000 copies of what they pressed up themselves. Now, using the internet like a weapon, this tapping guitarist has garnered a following the Takoma artists of the 70s could only dream about. Starting out where Stanley Jordan left off, this is a world class cat that’s out to open your ears as well as your eyes with his unique style and attack. Guitar fans have a special up from the underground star here to spread the word on.

THE JEWISH SONGBOOK-The Heart and Humor of a People/various: With a bunch of Christmas cds having shipped this week, and now for something completely different, Adam Sander, the man who single handedly created the contemporary Hanukkah music genre and a bunch of other Jewish stars from old to new letting it all hang out for 8 crazy days. Pioneering works are always going to draw praise and fire, and this one probably will too as it does try to reach out to have something for everyone, traditional through punky with stops at schtick in between, but it’s certainly something different and done with a lot of care and attention. If you have someone that likes to be Cartman to your Kyle, this could be what you want handy in the coming months to keep the holidays bouncy.

PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC/Mothership Connection Live 1976: Halloween night in H-town and the Cosmic Sloppers just having had their first chart topper found everyone in the mood to party, in costume. Obama was only 16 when all this was going on so let’s see how his opponents try to use this against him as proof of something that equals a tempest in a teapot. Uncut, multimedia funk…what can we say that George Clinton hasn’t already except: sit back and let them tear the roof off the sucka!
