Music critic, Michael A. Baron has put out a definitive book about the great Not Lame label and its role in preserving and celebrating the genre of power pop. Here’s an excerpt concerning the Sun Sawed in 1/2’s Fizzy Lift release on that label. Read about songwriter/guitarist, Tim Rose now of Venus Sugar High.

The Sun Sawed in 1/2's Fizzy Lift (1997) is a Faberge egg steam punk wind-up toy that keeps unfolding ever more dazzling blossoms, like the “500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.”

Guitarist Tim Rose is a gifted songwriter. You hear snatches of Ba*****ed Ladies or XTC but the Sun largely succeeds in creating its own sound, like the dissonance in the lilting “Denny's Girl,” or the Kinks and XTC undertones in “Mary Celeste.” If Boz Scaggs sang power pop (and who's to say he doesn't?) he'd want to cover “Ten Ways Amazed.” Tenor Doug Bobenhouse is more than up to the task.

“Four Letter Girl” is a burnished blue green scarab of a song. “Brighter Than God's Canary” is almost operatic. The brightly-colored cover art offers a visual interpretation of what lies within.

We are honored to be included, thank you!!
