This is the best-written overview of Novelty Act I've seen so far. Glad to see something finally up on Allmusic!

Novelty Act on Allmusic

Give it a read! Very well done!

Thanks for that Electric Elf,

Great read, & very well written. 4 out of 5 stars for Novelty Act. Pretty good rating as well.

I am humbled by your compliments.

What an absolute thrill it was to see that it is being read and enjoyed.

Every time I write a review, I want someone to take action after they've read it. Either to go buy the album, stop by that artist's website to hear music or, as it is in this case, to tell others about it.

Very seldom will I write a bad review. Sure, I've heard more 'bad' albums or 'unexciting' albums than you can shake a stick at, but why waste my time writing about bad things when I can use that time wisely be letting people know about the good things.

Well, there were a few bad reviews I've written. Not on allmusic.com, but elsewhere. I can remember one well: David Crosby released an album called "Oh Yes I Can". My review just said "Oh No You Can't". Raised a few smiles...and it said more than a 300 word bad review would have!!!

Once again, thanks for acknowledging the review. I sent it to Phil, but I keep forgetting to ask what he thinks of it. I'll hit him up again soon.....

I remember reading about a review in the Times once that was simply: "No". I dare you to try that out one day.

It's great to see that Phil's work is getting such good acclaim, thanks Electric Elf for this!

It is good to see some reviews like that - it's certainly the most entertaining and fabulous album I've bought in years! Get yourself onto myspace to keep in touch with what's going on with Phil's stuff, and join the rest of us nutters. Between that and here, I'm never off the computer.
