about

BA's "My Gay Estranged Father" is a tour-de-force in avant-garde pop, a postmodern masterpiece. Though not for little kids or the faint of heart, it’s highly recommended. “You and Whose Army” is a modern classic.
Weird? Maybe. Infectious? No question. Witty? Certainly. Insightful? Check. Provocative? You bet.
If Leonard Cohen dipped his balls in They Might Be Giants' tea kettle, this is what you'd hear.
Get baked and check out the heavy-metal-style lyrics set to country musical backing on "Champaign Song," and then freak out to "Mr. Nite-Nite Man."
It's beyond the beyond.

BA is a rhinestone cowboy with monster hooks who makes a mean deviled egg.
