STACY BUGG
Defined
8-song CD
I guess I was assigned this record because I’m a big fan of Andrea Bocelli and I believe the most entertaining part of this package was the promo notes. The eight songs here, “Range from pop/funk to funk rock with hints of gospel, hip hop, blues and soul throughout,” To me it sounds like Michael MacDonald with occasional metal guitar. If that sounds good to you, you may like it but for me it makes me want to set my hair on fire and run screaming down the street, “I am Michael MacDonald’s uterus!” But then, that’s just me. More from the notes, “While there are no extremely vulgar or shocking foul words, I do swear a couple of times. Besides that it’s clean sailing.” Well, I’m glad we got that fucking straight because some of the asshole Noise writers don’t give a shit about this bullshit. I, being a born again Christian proctologist appreciate the concern; the CD I don’t. (Slimedog)

MY RESPONSE--PRINTED JULY 2008 IN THE NOISE

Dear TMax,

I'd first off like to thank you for reviewing my CD. With gas being $4.00 a gallon, i'm surprised people can find the strength to focus on anything other than the raping of America one gallon at a time.

As far as the CD review itself goes, i'd have loved for you to say it was the best thing since sliced bread, but i'm quite honestly far more entertained by the writer's description of the music and what he'd rather do than listen to it. Priceless. The only thing I think he missed regarding me letting you guys know that there weren't many Fbombs on the CD was the fact that in our Clear Channel, paren-watch-group world, swears on the radio get people into trouble, and it was just a heads up. I sent the CD to be reviewed so the Noise is free to print anything it wants, but if the writer had done his homework, he'd know that my first cd, PRONOUNCED, which really sounded like Michael McDonald with heavy metal guitars with swearing, etc....

Anywho, thanks again. Any press is good press.
