THIS CD IS THE WINNER OF A NAPPA HONORS AWARD FOR 2005!! Hi! Mitch here. Welcome to the world of PURPLE BURT. Who is PURPLE BURT? Well, he's the star and subject of my brand new cd for kids (and immature adults!). He's purple . . . he's invisible . . . he's colorblind . . . he's got a snapping turtle named Kurt . . . his singing girlfriend is named Do-Re-Mimi . . . he eats purple dirt to stay alert . . . his brother Purple Herbert slurps and burps all day from a diet consisting solely of herbal sherburt. Long story short - he's unique and fun and sometimes a little sad too. I suppose you could say he's like most kids, and most kids seem to like him. This album sounds like an Iron Chef competition between They Might Be Giants and Ray Davies, with a mischievous Willy Wonka as the judge, in which the theme ingredient is whimsy. Really. You can hear a bit of each track by clicking over to your left. Special guest stars include musical magicians Andy Partridge and Dave Gregory (of XTC fame), and home recording genius R. Stevie Moore. It comes with a deluxe 20 page booklet that includes the complete song lyrics, and lots of incredibly fun illustrations by Anne D. Bernstein. Best of all, the front cover has something all children will love - wiggly eyes that really wiggle! Here's looking at you, kids. ;-) Wanna read all the lyrics?
