album release: “life, death, both, neither”
i wanted to get some music out after the death of my brother. like him, life, death, both, neither is funny, warm, eclectic, political, deep, and, at times, challenging. for gary liotta. life, death, both, neither by Andy Liotta

i released this video during my billie burke estate phase in anticipation of the 2006 midterms. i believe the bad faith of the GOP these past fourteen years have more than justified the tone of this video.
