  As easy as it is reviewing the mainstream music scene, here's an underground band that making some tasty waves and a cool buzz in their area!  With a forward upbeat pop-rock sound, Fake Brain goes steps further musically with better lyrics to boot!  This CD contains fourteen happy n' fun party tunes which always seems to bring a smile to my face…  Or is that "Smile a Mile Wide" as song two is titled?  The sound quality is quite good for a multi-tracked studio gig. Of course it is the music that makes me want to hit the replay button on my CD player.  Fake Brain gives it all to you with a unique perspective.  Haven’t we had enough Spice Girls and N-Sync for the rest of our lives? If you want to hear some real creativity listen to track 8 on this CD titled "Half-Murdered Stepgranddaughter".  It begins all slow-like with all these killer sound effects and then goes into this slow groove thing that makes me do that thrash back n' forth thing with my head.  Not like Funkadelic funky but more like "The End" by the Doors.  My fave tune is the steady 4/4 beat humorously lyric'ed song three "Your Drunk Wife". With lyrics like "I want to spend the rest of my life with your drunk wife" how could things be better?  A bit demented you say? Sure! You love real music done by indie bands, right?  If so, then visit their website and grab their CD "So Glad You Came".  As always, what really matters to me is that you…  Enjoy the music!  PS: Hmm… that CD title reminds me of this girl…
