Scott Brookman Scott Brookman Richmond, VA My SoundCloud is largely a dumping ground for demos, fragments and other bits of interest leftover from a small indie pop songwriting career. Follow the Bandcamp link to hear my MUCH more polished efforts. Please. I thank you kindly. Review of "A Song for Me, A Song for You." If you enjoyed the light pop touch of The Simple Carnival then there is a very good chance you'll like Scott Brookman. Scott writes sweet melodic piano pop in the tradition of the 60's and 70's with a Tin Pan Alley touch. The title track is an intro to "This Little Samba" a bossa nova beat driven tune that recalls those light Burt Bacharach songs with a wry humor about a wandering mojo. Todd Rundgren fans will surely appreciate the bouncy "The First Assault Upon My Day" which sounds like it fell off of Something/Anything. Scott's diverse influences are both immediate and enjoyable. The wonderful "Real Estate" shows off some excellent arrangements that recall mid 70's McCartney with true affection. Other highlights include "Getting Involved" with subtle harmonies blended in the chorus and the very Steely Dan-ish "Home School," with some fancy keyboard work. The lyrics are also very emotional stories that fans of Andrew Gold and Randy Newman will gravitate to as well. "Lemon Lane" is a warm and fuzzy pop gem that has a solid hook and even a kazoo solo at the midpoint. Even with the hilarious ending song "Start the Day" you can't help think of Brain Wilson in the sandbox making up the words as he goes along. The album starts and ends with the crackle of record vinyl and if you ever owned a record collection, this one would be a welcome addition (on CD). by Aaron Kupferberg in Powerpopaholic blog http://powerpopaholic.blogspot.com/2009/07/scott-brookman-song-for-me-song-for-you.html Scott Brookman’s tracks Ghosts (demo at Palmer's) by Scott Brookman published on 2017-06-12T23:01:03Z The Wedding (tk 2 demo at Palmer's) by Scott Brookman published on 2017-06-12T22:54:41Z Old Bones Found instrumental premix by Scott Brookman published on 2017-05-21T23:18:36Z MMB At The Controls by Scott Brookman published on 2015-06-11T16:50:57Z "Very Anne" Rhythmn Track only by Scott Brookman published on 2015-04-30T17:39:31Z Kidz In Service For Satan by Scott Brookman published on 2014-09-11T03:18:44Z Smellicopter is Here! by Scott Brookman published on 2013-03-08T14:55:01Z You Only Saw the Drum Man Houston 65 by Scott Brookman published on 2012-12-23T21:11:00Z Adderley Groove demo by Scott Brookman published on 2012-12-18T00:34:02Z Time to Get Away (demo #2) by Scott Brookman published on 2012-12-18T00:24:20Z
