Great news for one and all: David Grahame's new album, DT and the
Disagreeables, will be released on April 1. Featuring 12 new extremely cool,
can't-get-'em-out-of-your-head songs and a smashing cover of "Hello Goodbye"
(you might have heard the original, by a little-known band from Liverpool,
England), this is shaping up to be DG's best, most popular album yet.
From the vaguely-psychedelic, entrancing, goose-bump-inducing "I am God" and
"We are Love," to the maxi-melodic, harmony-laden "Sexy Sadist" (all wrapped
up in a shiny Beatles '64-esque shell) and the funky (yes,
funky!)-meets-pure pop, toe-tapping, just-try-not-to-sing-along-with-it
pleasure, "Good Luck," DT and the Disagreeables is destined to land on every
pop fan's top 10 of 2003 list. (I haven't even mentioned the majestic,
sonically-mind-bending closer, "Loser," which has "standard" written all
over it...oh, I guess I just did!)
All of this comes to you on one of those shiny silver discs you've come to
love, inside a very cool cover, featuring a shot of the band (my, these guys
look musical!). Or are they just a front for the multi-instrumental Grahame,
who actually plays every instrument on this record, save for some of the
string parts? I'll leave it to you to decide!
Another thing about that "Hello Goodbye" cover: by the time you (and you
know who you are) get DT and the Disagreeables, "Hello Goodbye" may have
been replaced by another cover from the aforementioned Liverpool band's
repertoire; David's creative juices are flowing like an overactive piece of
fruit, which is apt, when you consider there's a song called "Apple" on the
album. Grocers, unite! The moral of the story? Don't fret, 'cause David's
going to make any additional Fab Four covers available to you, his beloved
fans, at a future date. Trade 'em with your friends, if you must!
DT and the Disagreeables should be available for pre-order from Not Lame by
next week. I'm laying it on the line here, folks: This will be one of your
most treasured pop listening experiences of this or any other year.
Questions? I'll answer 'em here or off list. Meanwhile, set the table for DT
and the Disagreeables. They don't eat much, and they clean their dishes
good!
Thanks for listening!
Alan,
one man Grahame band and perpetually potent pop guy
