I found this record at
Groove Merchant quite some time ago; I have since lost the cover__i was spinning it at 'Oh So Little' one morning; folks was turned on, quite a few got up from they coffees and asked me who was the band..and somehow the
WhiteField Brothers (American alter-egos of Germany's Poets of Rhythm) cover dissapeared, Luckly, the record was in a sleeve but not the cover. Yeah, I still got the damn thing, and I hell'a grateful; been looking for other work by these cats but so far not seeing any'ting..
Nation of Ulysses 'Plays Pretty For Baby'
I knew 'Alan' back in 1999. He was a rather lean, tall filipino, with a particularly punk bent. Back in those days the peirced lip, skater shoes, ragged slacks was standard signifyers, but Alan had some'ting else. He was both charming and handsome, and for all of his rugged excess, he was gentle and kind. When he died from a motorcyle accident, I felt deeply lost and agonized. I went to his burial and lost more of myself. Nation of Ulysses is one thing he left and i absorbed.
