Shortwave Radio [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
The Incomplete Mozart Project
the fruity loop guitars, gay synths and lame vocals really hit home for me.

About the Artist
If The B-52s and The Ramones managed a goth industrial night club, the soundtrack would probably sound something like Mighty Mohawk Man. Frantic beats, punky guitar riffs, Atari sound collisions and catchy keyboard harmonies all mashed together under the quirkiest vocals this side of Prince.

Album Description
The studio debut from MMM! 20 punk-wave songs about zombies, videogames, homosexuality, money, and the music scene. Once described as a "British punk rocker on synth crack". The B-52s meets Atom and His Package on this insane album.

5 out of 5 stars Collection of 1989-1999 Live Recordings is Superb.......2002-03-05

In 1999, while still in between labels, Over The Rhine issued this sequel of sorts to "Besides", their 1997 collection of odds and sodds. "Amateur Shortwave Radio" is a collection of live tracks of the band's first ten years. It is a superb collection.

"Like A Radio" starts things of beautifully, with a haunting solo from Ric and crystal clear vocals from Karen. There are 2 covers, both from 1990: a faithful take on the Stones' "Ruby Tuesday", and more interestingly the Beatles' "Blackbird", which OTR makes totally its own. The album includes the long-time concert staple "Jack's Valentine", here in a 1999 recording. Linford brings it with just the right amount of wit and sarcasm.

There are also 3 new songs on here: "Moth", a truly soaring "Anyway", and "I Will Remember", with newest OTR member Jack Henderson's ripping guitar solo. It is an appropriate ending for this exquisite collection of songs. In many ways, this album is better than many of the band's "regular" albums.

4 out of 5 stars Almost perfect........2002-02-15

Aside from one track I don't care for, this is a solid mix of live and studio recordings from Cinncinatti's Over The Rhine. The live power of "Like a radio" (including a gorgeous guitar solo) and the beauty of the simple "Mary's waltz" shine brightly here as does the great slow-burner "I will remember". "Moth" and "Anyway" are also great tracks, the latter being my favorite on the disc because of the wonderful guitar solo in the middle. Check it out. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Over the Rhine - Cincy's Gift to Music.......2000-10-20

What to say about a CD that just gets better with each listen. Over the Rhine is one of those bands who have continued to make music with integrity, rather quietly, for over ten years. This collection of live version of OtR favorites is more than a "greatest hits" package, however; songs are given new arrangements rather than being mere rehashes of what appears on earlier CD's. Vocalist Karin Bergquist could not sound more sultry if she tried on a track like "My Love is a Fever." The haunting "Anyway" will make any listener wonder about past relationships, especially those that may be strained and need a little mending. "Circle of Quiet" is sheer brilliance; its series of sort of false endings is hypnotic and shows off Linford Detweiler's brilliance as a musician. And, of course, anyone who knows OtR knows that "Like a Radio" is a classic. When compared to the drivel on most radio stations today, Over the Rhine is a thinking person's band. Buy this CD; give them a listen. When they are in your area in concert, go see them. Over the Rhine never disappoint, just as this CD does not disappoint the discriminating music lover.

5 out of 5 stars Over the Rhine rocks..........2000-04-22

I've been a fan of Over the Rhine for many many years, and i'm just soo glad that they're getting out there and that more people are hearing them. I'd have to say that my favorite Over the Rhine album is a toss up between this and Good Dog Bad Dog. No matter what though, over the rhine rocks in concert!!!

5 out of 5 stars Thank You.......2000-02-19

This ten year retrospective of Over the Rhine is fabulous. As someone who has been seeing OtR live several times a year for the past seven or eight years, I am very thankful for the release of this album. Instead of simply rehashing local radio favorites, OtR has crafted a CD of live tracks, rare gems and a couple of new songs that live up to the OtR tradition.

        5 out of 5 stars live? it's crazy!.......2005-10-12

        i bought this at a garage sale for $2, knowing only that i'd heard of kit clayton and read something positive about his music. i had no idea what to expect.
        i'm no stranger to weird music, but sometimes an album will catch me off guard. when i first put this on, i was doing other things, only giving it cursory attention, so when it opened with silence i figured either i had the volume too low or it was a long, slow build up to something cool. so i was doing something mundane, like making dinner, when the first static burst popped out of the speakers. i jumped and fretted about the disc. at least i'd only paid $2 for a messed up disc, but what would i do with it now? then another burst of static, short, sharp, and loud. more came, closer together, until it built into a pattern, with other static sounds and drones playing in.
        by the end of the hour, dinner was burned and i was totally amazed at what i'd just heard. somehow kit clayton had constructed a microtonal masterpiece out of, well, i'm not sure what he used, but it was live on the radio and it blew me away. towards the end there's a bit of minimalist dub, the way the germans do it, built from static, an echo in my head of the opening of future sound of london's 'cascade'. i'd never heard anything quite like this, though. quite a find for a $2 garage sale.

        5 out of 5 stars Shortwave is the new New Wave, or No Wave, or umm..........2005-05-25

        The Mighty Mohawk Man is smart. Its true. I know Jeff Gowins, the man behind the whole MMM project. He is smart. But i thought the whole idea of him being a musician was stupid. I was proven wrong when I recieved his album. The lyrics are smart and silly (emphasis on the latter). The kid knows how to work a drum machine. And his voice? It makes Dylan look like an opera singer. The album is fun for the whole family (excluding your Mom and Dad, and also maybe your siblings.) With songs like "No Refunds", where Jeffrey refuses refunds for his terrible album, the tone for the album is set with his tounge planted firmly in his cheek, or perhaps its his foot resting comfortably in his mouth. Im not sure. Either way. To enjoy some phat beats and tight rhymes, check out the latest tupac record. To enjoy yourself, pick up Shortwave Radio.
