The Joy of More Hogwash is the second solo CD in 12 months from former Sparks, Jet & Radio Stars bassist Martin Gordon. The first ('The Baboon in the Basement') marked his return to the pop meleé after a long period spent working for other musicians - it was declared 'the release of the year' and 'an absolute triumph', and he was proclaimed by one enthusiastic scribe to be 'one of the top ten producers in the world'. Using the same line-up as the Baboon, Martin Gordon continues to peruse the pop cultural world (and the other, somewhat bigger one) and all it's foibles. Included on The Joy of More Hogwash (his proposed (and rejected) title for a series of real-life-TV talent-free casting shows), are 12 new compositions from the pen of the 'smart-pop meister' (Tangents) which deal with such topics as misogyny and idiots (as usual) as well as Nigerian banking fraud, falling in love with aliens, science versus art, being beaten with twigs, casting TV shows and other evidence of the current pop-cultural malaise. The title song takes the listener on a brief tour through a (selected) history of pop music, taking a thankfully brief detour into jazz and winding up with a crash at the present day.

'The Joy of More Hogwash' is pop music for grown-up people, which is not, in Gordon's eyes, a contradiction in terms, although you wouldn't know it by listening to the average output of the mass media. But anyway?The 14 songs include a Beatles tune and the ultimate version of 'Love Power' from the Mel Brooks film The Producers, karmically recorded in the Berlin studio from which Josef Goebbels made his nasty little propaganda broadcasts.
