New King of Pop Music

I’ve known Lou Carlozo for a number of years. He’s an excellent writer, a thoughtful editor, an energetic teacher, a generous Hungerdunger, and an all-around mensch. I’ve also known he plays a little music. But in all the time I’ve known him, I didn’t know how kick-ass he plays that music. Now that his first CD is out, all I can say is “Wowsa!”

“Stick Figure Soul” is a sweet hour of pure powerful pop, written by a guy who should be old enough to have soured on the siren song. Yet Louhasn’t given up on the hope that music can take us to the next step. I completely recommend it for anyone who wishes Matthew Sweet were president, Tom Petty UN Ambassador, and Roger McGuinn the Ombudsman for Kickin’ Down the Road a Piece.

I strongly urge you to go to the myspace page for “Stick Figure Soul” to hear more music. Like all good pop, it sticks in your head quickly, and stays there comfortably. Oh, and the lyrics are great too.
