FROM BUBBLEGUM TO SKY - eenie meenie records

From Bubblegum to Sky is another one of those 'one man projects'. That man is - and yes, if you listened to them before reading this, it is a man singing(I wasn't fooled but some I know were) - the man is... Mario Hernandez, a 36 year old Texan from El Paso, who previously recorded with Jamie McCormick under the moniker Ciao Bella.

This is an aptly named 'band', for the music is more than a little like the AM radio Top 40 stuff that spawned the handle 'Bubblegum Pop'. This is happy, bubbly, effervescent music. It's a bottle of well shaken Coke left out in the dizzying sun of a crowded mid-August sea side beach - a compact vessel with a warm, brown, sticky-sweet liquid, just waiting to pop.

And pop it does...

From Bubblegum to Sky

operation big beat
my thousand years with robots
some kind of fantastic
