"It's the funniest thing in the West: you never see a second story." The Magnetic Fields get beat up by the Dead Milkmen while TMBG do color commentary and Elliott Smith tries to get a word in edgewise. Really.

Album Notes

Second Story by Josh Kamensky includes six to ten songs of witchy women, old friends, hometown girls, dim husbands,
limited vocabularies and sassy superheroes, not to mention love.

Kamensky plays guitars, accordions, computers and an egg. He is now playing songs from Second Story live in Los Angeles with his band, Captain Automatic, whose EP Pictures Of The Moon is also available at CD Baby.

Kamensky's songs have been compared to the work of They Might Be Giants, Pixies, Elliott Smith, Magnetic Fields, Randy Newman and Oingo Boingo.

Hard driving, toe tapping, touching. Variety and versatility. Loved it!

Bon-Bon Mots

for anyone who wanted Danny Elfman to make sense and feel a little bit more. Reunion and Cazarina are the breakout singles i think, and show range, which nobody seems to believe in anymore. a desktop confection of alarming pop catchiness. so when's the full length LP coming out?

Funny, melodic, sarcastic, intelligent.

The opening track, "bad woman #5", goes 'you get points just for [staying] alive', and the whole CD has that angle: that you're in this for the long haul and life isn't so bad if you have a sense of humor. Reminds me a bit of the Pixies, They Might Be Giants, Cake, and that one satirical white boy rap song on the radio whose title I can't remember right now. Funny, melodic, sarcastic, intelligent. Wouldn't want to be in an elevator with it for too long, but I like this stuff. [Issue 22, July-August 2004: not a starred review]
