B&G Sides
The Hard Lessons
(QUACK MEDIA)
B sides can take on the same characteristics as DVD extras. If the scene was so damn good, Mr. and Mrs. director/artist/musician, then why, pray tell, wasn't it included in the film in the first place? This Detroit trio left some gems on the cutting room floor, and this, a compilation of four volumes of B&G's (biscuits and gravy? yum …), is by turns precious and poppy with tons of riff-fueled magnetism, clap-happy choruses and solid, tuneful vocals. "Come Back To Me" is a sassy hip-shaker calling to mind a Pretenders, Blondie, even Pat Benatar, while the airy nursery rhyme "Teen-age Girls Hold The Keys to the World" is a new doctrine for adolescent struggle, but the tunes aren't all burdens and heavy shoulders (see "Don't Shake My Tree") —MH
