VARIOUS ARTISTS
GO MOWER GO
RIDING MOWER
The Big Apple's very own Riding Mower Records have brought us 13 tracks of
their artist's best for their compilation CD, and the results are not only
indicative of the vast talent this label carries, but it also shows the
depth the NYC scene has to offer. Starting off with R&B flavored funksters
PIC, who get their groove on and set the tone, it's hard to stop your ass
from shaking after this juggernaut has their way with your ears, but there's
more to be heralded. Like the curiously clever pop rock of Convertible
Jennifers, whose lyrical output easily wins the tongue in cheek award
("you're the best e thing that I've had since/ you're the cheapest thing
I've done since" from "Sugar Cubes"). From there, the mixture of intense
alternative rock with an angelic voice leading the charge, belonging to
Shiva Copal, invades your speakers and makes you stand to attention and
listen intently. Rounded out by some other left of center acts (Lovetester,
Rick Bartow), Riding Mower have built up quite a stable of bands and artists
and hopefully are in the works for their next compilation. Keep that mower
gassed up and ready to go, baby! (www.ridingmowerecords.com)
