Shana
Falana wanted you to send her to Europe, so she launched a campaign, people
paid money for incentives offered up, they reached their goal and now they will
at some point in time be heading to Europe to treat them to their lovely blend
of music and stage show.
As a
birthday gift, I pledged $50 to the Shana Falana campaign and that got me this
cassette, a tote bag (so much like PBS) and an eventual post card from
Europe. I was just going to get the
cassette for $18, but I really decided that I like getting mail and a postcard
from Shana Falana can go into my personal Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
So if
you didn’t know Shana Falana wanted to go to Europe or that she released this
cassette, then you’re kind of out of luck.
Unless you happen to live in Europe and be near where Shana Falana is
touring because that is how the woman herself says you can only get the
cassette now that the campaign is closed.
Why am
I writing this review then? I can’t tell
you how good this cassette is and thus you should give all of your monies to
Shana Falana for it because, well, she won’t give it to you. Although, if you had ever planned to go to
Europe for a vacation or whatever, now might be the time to do it and plan it
around seeing Shana Falana there just so you can get this cassette tape.
Long
before this cassette came out, Shana Falana kept hinting about it and I kept telling
her to take my money. I would reply to
updates about the cassette being put together with comments of “How much do you
need me to Paypal you?”
I am a
huge fan of Shana Falana. Had I the
funds, I probably would have bought a private performance from her, recorded it
and then sold it online as a sort of DVD or something (giving all of the money
back to her of course) So when I tell
you that this is Shana Falana unlike you have ever heard her before, you better
believe that I am serious.
This is
not at all what I was expecting, but it is still just so great. My two year old enjoys dancing to it, and I’ll
let him even though Shana Falana talks so much about being stoned. If further evidence is needed, fine, but let
this also serve as Reason #1 why when Shana Falana complete their full length it
should be released on cassette. Should
some existing tape label out there not want to do it, I will.
