Album Notes

chris arduser is a cincinnati-based songwriter and producer who has written many a tune for critically lauded comboes such as THE BEARS (which features adrian belew), PSYCHODOTS (which includes childhood friends rob fetters and bob nyswonger) and THE GRAVEBLANKETS. CHRIS ARDUSER The Celebrity Motorcade (Crooked Mile) Written and performed by Psychodots drummer/vocalist, Chris Arduser, Motorcade is a short and rather melancholic take on the early days of Hollywood and some of its misunderstood characters, such as Fatty Arbuckle in the track “Roscoe.” Arduser turns tracks about John Garfield (The Postman Always Rings Twice) and famed/hated director Erich Von Stroheim into fascinating and beautifully composed pop ballads. Arduser’s ability to turn some rather strange subject matter into such intriguing music is a real testament to his songwriting abilities. In the hands of a less talented songwriter, this album could have swung dangerously close to a Weird Al Yankovic release.

Epic... Full of imagination.

Good album. Full of references to people i dont know, but i when i found out who they were i researched more. Interesting theme that sort of runs thru it. and best of all, chris arduser is one talented musician. Sorely underrated in the Bears.
