MP3 Weba Garretson - Welcome to Webaworld
10 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Punk, SPOKEN WORD: With Music
Details:
I''m scared to think what would happen if this music got out. It''s like that Outbreak virus: It''s hard to imagine anyone unscathed. Weba Garretson is an inescapable vocal presence. She''s operating with an overt feminist political agenda here, and her cloaking device is the fact that she''s a very silly woman who just happens to be in possession of a voice that could do anything --- tall buildings, single bounds, the whole thing. She''s all that and more. Weba World casts her in the role of delivering monologues and being an avant-garde lounge singer.
The free-form Welcome to Weba World, Catasonic Record debut release, mixes lounge music, spoken word slam-poetry, slap happy basslines and a very weird sense of timing. There''s a bizarre pastiche of AC/DC''s "Highway to Hell" as an anti-rape anthem and an on-the-money take on the 007 trademark "Goldfinger." Other high points include a slinky unauthorized bio on the photographer Diane Arbus and her monthly cycle ("Diane Arbus") and Weba as a woman possessed with rage on a "I See A Smile."
Bonus points for accordion.
David Stratton, The Metropolitan
