(released on February 14th 2002)
The Story:
An idea of mine that never saw fruition was releasing a companion album to AMERICA IS LONELY TONIGHT called AMERICA IS DANCING TONIGHT. Throughout the years a few odds and ends had accumulated that didn't fit the scheme of any of my solo projects. "Da Biscuits" was written with a friend in Atlanta in 1996. The concept of "17 Year Old Sex Machine" came about while mopping the floor at Arby's in 1998. "I Wanna Touch You" was originally written in 1992, then reworked in 1996, then once again in 2001.
One evening singer Susy Martian and I met for cheap Italian and she proposed the we do something controversial. I thought back to the six song demo of the odds and ends I'd collected throughout the years. We ended up using all six of songs on this album along with some of Susy's tracks, and some collaborations. We assumed the aliases J-Glo and Sassy and raised hell for a few months. We got kicked off stage at the Sarasota Film Festival. We did a kareoke tour. We had our CD release party at an upscale Japanese bistro. We sent out fake press releases detailing our arrests and other (false) misadventures. We made a ridiculous appearance on public access television. "Da Biscuits" became *the* underground party hit of 2002. But time always moves forward. Susy ended up getting pregnant, and I began work on my ROMANTICO project. J-Glo and Sassy will always hold a special place in my heart.
