Dan Hart Recordings

(and so many ways to buy them!)
click on: Santa God -- Life of Dan  --  Apocalypse Now & Then  --  To A Silent Drum
2005 recording "Santa God and Other Blasphemies"
"I see no reason why you shouldn't be very famous. And also incarcerated." --Wilson "The Gentleman" Twiddle
I've collected together my holiday-related songs and burned them.  On a CD.  For you.  Not for the faint of heart, or for small children.  For 2005 I've also included the frequently-requested (in the dream I had last night) non-Xmas songs "Marry Me" and "Swift Kick". Yuletide fare includes Santa God, Santa is a Psycho, Santa Eats Little Kids, Bear Shelves, Misanthrope Christmas, Christmas in the Nude, and Lobotomy for Christmas (most of these have been on Dr. Demento; Bear Shelves is on Basement Tapes vol. 11)..  WARNING: THIS CD CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH WILL BE OFFENSIVE TO ALMOST EVERYONE.

2001 Recording "The Life of Dan"
"Dan Hart, in the best tradition of Tom Lehrer and Dr. Demento, skewers just about anything and everything within choking distance, and that includes the millennium snafus, tofu cowboys, Ritalin gobbling, hippies growing old, sex and violence (heh, heh), shallow 2001 lifestyles, and cheesy folk magazines like Sing Out! and Dirty Linen."  --Dirty Linen

Doctor Demento  has played "Sex 'n' Violence" and "Tofu Cowboy" on his show, and included S&V on his Basement Tapes vol. 10.  CD includes those songs plus You're Old, You Can Find Love, Life of Dan, Hey Ho 2001, I Hate to Sing Along.  Also 2 songs by friends Sam Bayer ("Millennium Song") and Drew Prescott ("Ritalin")

NOTE: Someone is trying to sell a copy of this for $50 on Amazon.com!!  I did not authorize this, nor do I get a penny if he/she manages to sell it!  Use CDBaby or Filk!  They're much cheaper!!


1998 Recording "Apocalypse Now and Then"
"[Hart is] an accurate and able observer of our past and present condition...He doesn't pound you over the head to deliver the message, and you get a few smiles and a hearty laugh or two from him in the process." --Sing Out! magazine

Other ways to buy my recordings:

1.    Come to a performance!  I've usually got a whole bunch of CDs and cassettes with me, and buying them direct eliminates the middleman meaning savings for you and more money for ME!  I even take credit cards now!  And this way you get to sample the music and make sure I'm not some kind of perv or con man before giving me money.  Though you never can tell with musicians.

2.    Go to a selected store (this only works if you live in certain areas of the country).  Newbury Comics (in Boston on Newbury St. and in Cambridge in Harvard Square), and Tower Records (also Harvard Square) are the places to get it in the Boston area.  In the Philadelphia area you can get them at Mad's Records in Ardmore.

Visit my lyrics page to find out what the heck I'm saying in these songs!  And be sure to call up your local folk DJ (yes, you probably do have one) and ask him or her to play my %@#*!!! CD!  He or she will say "Wha...?", but at least then they will know my name (and wish they didn't).
