Album Notes

It\'s a coincidence of course, but Goh Nakamura\'s tunes orbit the same sphere as a triumvirate of \"E\" songwriters: Elliot Smith, Elvis Costello, and Evan Dando. And while we bandy about the alliterations let\'s include: Ken Stringfellow, Matthew Sweet, and Ron Sexsmith. Also: \"smart,\" \"soaring\" (as in melodies), and \"significant\" (as in talent). His videos have been viewed over a million times on YouTube, which, in our hypervirile economy, wouldn\'t impress necessarily after all, this is the same site that brought instant fame to a Britney Spears apologist who gives histrionic dispatches from beneath his blankie. The difference is Nakamura is not a fleeting flavor: Ulysses (self-released) has wings.
