| For Lyrics Send $2.00 and a S.A.S.E. to.... a 77s/Mike Roe Tribute |
     |
The long awaited 
fan tribute album to the 77s is now ready to order! Most of you here already know this.
Even if fan tribute albums aren't your thing, you should still check this one out. If for nothing else but to hear Brian Healy's version of "Caught In An Unguarded Moment" And $5 from each disc goes directly to the 7s!!!!
Several people that were on the DA tributes are also on this project.
All information can be found at:

sorry about my cover of "mt". i don't know that anyone could do it justice, as mike's voice is perfect for the song. hopefully you all enjoy my treatment of it, anyway.

I thought "MT" and all of the rest of it was fine. I think it's understood that these were interpretations, and the whole thing was a labor of love.

Jevon Anonby reviewed the Tribute project on his banophernalia web site. He has 100s of other reviews as well, some of you may want to check out his website if you have not been there before.

For Lyrics, Send $2.00 and a S.A.S.E. to ... (©2004 Negative Fruit) 3 Stars
1: Dave's Blue 2: Someone New 3: U U U U 4: Sunshine Down 5: Lutheran Hymn 6: MT 7: Till Jesu Comes 8: Leaving 9: Snake (cold hearted mix) 10: Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba 11: I Can't Get Over It 12: The Lust, The Flesh, The Eyes and the Pride of Life 13: Hold Dearly To Me 14: Ao seu lado (Nowhere Else) 15: This is the Way Love Is 16: Smokescreen 17: Cry Out Loud 18: Closer 19: Tattoo 20: It's For You
BigDork (real name disguised, which is disturbing considering he's really quite proud of being called a Dork. Ask him about his collection of colour coded pocket protectors) is making quite a name for himself in the indie arena. This is the third "fan"oriented tribute album the man has helmed, and he has puts together a quality package (music will be discussed later). He's really outdone himself this time around - the cover art is great (way to go littleDork). The criteria for appearing on the tribute was pretty simple. Claim a song, record a song, submit a song. As you can appreciate, submissions run the gamut from outstanding to, er, ah - insitting. But that's what makes a fan tribute so appealing. Besides, does anyone really give a rat's bottom what I think anyway?
I confess I have a song here, which more or less strengthens the "If I can do it, you can do it" nature of the project. You may be asking, "Okay wise acres, I'm a fan of the band, should I get this?"
Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer ... maybe.
It all depends on how deep your appreciation for refrigerator art goes. If nothing less than perfect will do, then stay away, because there are moments here that would fit nicely on the American Idol auditions bloopers soundtrack (what kind of name is Bano for a band? With a name like that the band must be able to take a lot of crap). But if you can look past that to the heart of what is being done, then you're the same type of person who appreciates it when your cat brings in a dead bird for your approval. In other words you're more than ready for a fan tribute for this most tribute worthy band.
There is a lot of charm here. In fact if you're a fan, this album is like having one of those "family" concerts where everybody regardless of ability shows off just because it's fun, and there's no harm in being goofy with your relatives. As I sit here writing this my three year old daughter held up the jewel case and pointed to the cartoon of Mike playing the guitar and proclaimed, "This is the bestest funny guy dad." Which just about sums it up.
If you're curious take a chance, after all there are enough honest to goodness moment here to make this worthwhile.

I sent 3 copies to Mike (he probably hasn't even checked his mail lately), let me know if you don't get one and I'll send one off to you and Bruce.

Thanks all. I'm sure Mike has my copy - just haven't caught up with him in a few days. Are you kidding? I CAN'T wait to hear this! Personally, I'd much rather hear a fan tribute record than a record done by people who don't listen to you!!!!!! That's pretty cool....
