"Winds of change are slowing running out of gas
Sands of time are blowing through the hour glass
Take it easy Baby, you don't want to end your life like that!
Life is like a nasty habit life is full of dirty tricks
That don't mean it ain't worth living
That don't mean you get no kick!"

"What a situation changing around my life.
I've been told I'm acting strange by some friends of mine.
They must wonder why I'm up when I'm usually down.
I've got to set them straight!
I'm no wacko. In fact, I'm ordinary.
I'm not crazy. I'm in love!"

ONCE YOU HEAR IT
YOU WON'T FORGET IT
THE MUSIC ON I'M NOT CRAZY
The latest collection from hard-popster Geoff Westen is I'm Not Crazy. Westen's characteristic quirky and eclectic storytelling is showcased in his third album of songs on the Disturbing Music label.
On INC, Geoff continues to follow his own musical muse, fearlessly traversing the line between PowerPop and PowerPunk. The songs are drawn from observations made over the course of the eccentric, yet sophisticated life of the career artist and performer. Both reviewers and fans alike have responded to Westen's instinctive feel, traditional songwriting chops, catchy melodies and memorable hooks.
The common denominator on all the tracks is his integration of the gamut of music styles that he has performed over his career. This includes his curious production approach, where he paints his audio canvas with layers of music to create his "Wall of Pop" trademark sound, revealing more colors, textures and flavors with each repeated listening. Making himself the central character in the songs rather than telling stories about other people is another distinct component of his songwriting.
INC's 10 songs (plus 2 alternative mixes) make up this joyful pop-rock
songlist. "Partyline" and the mischievous "Xciting Eyes" rock out with enough guitars and energy to fill an arena. "I Don't Know Why" and "Make It Last Forever" sound like pop song
standards while "Love Has Let You Down" is a classic heartbreak ballad. Little gems like "The Big Mistake," and "Condition Red" are pure Westen - exploiting his highly stylized Punkish pop tracks.

"You don't like to work. You don't like to sweat.
You puff all day on funny cigarettes.
People sort of think that you're no damn good.
You got no friends in the neighborhood.
Hey you, you better get started!"

SHUT DOWN. WAKE UP. TUNE IN!!!
THE MUSIC ON TUNE IN!!
VIDIOTS-TUNE IN!! is Geoff Westen's Power Punk tunes-de-force and the follow-up to his acclaimed The Pigs-OINK! The songs incorporate the scope of Pop and Rock styles Westen has performed over his career and showcases his signature "wall of pop" sound with influences from the '80s to the present.
Screaming guitars and a driving track rocks "Better Get Started," his opening anthem for Vidiots everywhere. He kicks it up a notch on the thumping tracks "Angry Young Man" and "Don't Stop The Kiss." Funky chunky guitars spice up "Action Man," while a slight touch of techno pulsates through "Some Of You Girls." And no one does a ballad better or tells a more tender love story than the softer side of Westen on "She's So Young" and "Searching For Love."
Plug in your headphones and make sure you TUNE IN to TUNE IN!!
Check out the LYRICS.

THE VIDIOTS PACKAGE
What are a Vidiot's two most important tools? The screen and the remote (how very simple are a Vidiot's needs!) You see, a true Vidiot wants to see the world as he'd like it to be - not how it really is. So Oz Studio's concept depicts living INSIDE a TV World as the optimum Vidiot place to be...or is it? |

"I love Pigs 'cause they remind me of MAN.
I love the Pigs in LA. They overindulge. They waddle in greed...
Take more than they need. Of course, I'm a Pig too.
Be a Pig and be proud." from "I
Love The Pigs" by THE PIGS |

THE BIG OINK!
THE MUSIC ON OINK!
Pigs are people too! But leave it to Geoff Westen and The Pigs to laugh at themselves pigging out, and chuckle as they watch you do it too! Oink! is a first-rate collection of Power Pop gems utilizing Westen's layer until it hurts "Wall of Pop" approach to music. His lyrics are deceptively simple, love songs dressed up as tongue-in-cheek commentaries on romance. They're about all of us. What we do and why we do it.
Guitar crunchers like "Saturday Night, "Paradise" and "I'm Sick" keep you on your feet while the angst-driven ballad "Sweetheart" will break your heart. "I Don't Need It" and "Doesn't Anyone" explore the nasty and cold "real world" out there and the pop-tinged "Oh Girl," and "Heartbreak Street" will stick with you all day long.
We hope you enjoy all the sounds that THE PIGS make on this CD. The critics did. Read what they have to say about Oink! Read the PIGS Reviews.
