LP version on 180-gram vinyl. Originally self-released in 1995 on 100 cassettes, Swearing at Motorists' long out-of-print self-titled debut album is now reissued by A Recordings. Recorded in 1994 on equipment borrowed from roommates Brainiac, this 17-minute lo-fi gem was Dave Doughman's first experiment with songwriting and home recording. The reissue serves as insightful glimpse into the beginnings of the band, whose album While Laughing, The Joker Tells the Truth (AUK 113 CD/LP) was released in 2014. Swearing at Motorists have come a long way since their birth on a poster for a fake band in 1994. A few months after the posters mysteriously appeared in record stores and music venues around Dayton, OH, Doughman jokingly scrawled the name on a cassette of home recordings that he gave to friends, and the band was officially born, joining already established Dayton bands Guided By Voices, Brainiac, and The Breeders in releasing music made in the Miami Valley. The late '90s found S@M releasing a slew of 7 EPs on different labels, and after getting repeated plays from the BBC's John Peel and favorable press worldwide, the band landed a contract with Secretly Canadian, with which they released two EPs and four LPs, including 2000's Number Seven Uptown and 2002's This Flag Signals Goodbye, both of which were named MOJO's Underground Album of the Year for their respective years. This reissue precedes the band's 2015 appearance at South By Southwest, where they will also play several day parties, including their own, the second annual All Tomorrow's Tacos (a mix of bands and stand-up comics). Swearing at Motorists: 20 years and two million miles under the radar.

GOOD BOOK FOR ALL OF AMERICA TO READ
Format: Hardcover
A MUST READING FOR ALL OF WHITE AMERICA! A HELPFUL BRIDGE TO UNDERSTANDING THE CHASM IN RACE RELATIONS BETWEEN BLACKS AND WHITES. WRITTEN IN A MANNER AND FORMAT MOST PEOPLE CAN ACCEPT AND UNDERSTAND. I'M NOT ONE WHO LIKES TO BE "PREACHED TO" BUT THIS BOOK IS DEFINITELY AN EXCEPTION. I AM A PERSON OF COLOR AND I WILL DEFINITELY SHARE THIS WITH MY WHITE FRIENDS WHO SOMETIMES UNFAIRLY GET A BAD RAP FOR BEING WHITE.

Powerful, challenging, and inspiring. An essential read
Format: Hardcover
This is a book that I challenge all my white friends to read, no matter where you stand on the spectrum of confronting white privilege and systemic racism. Michael Eric Dyson delivers a powerful, engaging, personal, informational, inspiring sermon that’s essential at this moment in time when racial division is especially high. I urge you to read with an open heart and mind, to set aside your discomfort and listen to Dyson’s plea for white Americans to reckon with the harsh truths of racism. Dyson is an ordained minister, so what better way to present this than as a sermon. He divides it into multiple sections: in “Hymns of Praise,” he cleverly shares hymns in the form of rap lyrics; in “Scripture Reading,” he quotes Martin Luther King Jr.; in the main sermon, he addresses whiteness specifically (including white innocence, white fragility, and white privilege) and then segues into a section about what it’s like to be black in America. Following that is “Benediction,” one of my favorite parts: in it he offers practical suggestions for what white people can do to make things better. The whole thing is incredibly current and topical, with commentary on Black Lives Matter, the recent election and Donald Trump’s rise to power. For white people who seek to understand more about racism and white privilege in America (and really, that should be all of us), this is the book to read. It was literally written for us.

Best book I’ve ever read
Format: Hardcover
I had to read this book in grad school and it changed my life. I have recommended it countless times and given it as gifts to many family members. Dr. Dyson explains racial concepts in easy to hear language and specifically targets white folks. As a white person, I have learned so much from Dr. Dyson through this book. I believe every white person should read this book. I also had the privilege to hear Dr. Dyson speak at my university, and his spoken words and written words carry the same passion and energy. Truly this book is one of a kind. This book really is a sermon to white america, I doubt most people of color would gain as much from his words. Dr. Dyson uses mostly black and white language, and addresses issues about whiteness and how it permeates our society and upholds racism. Anyone could read and enjoy this book, but white folks (especially the white people who don’t think they’re racist) need to read it.

Often painful to read, but a must-read for anyone who cares about racial injustice
Format: Hardcover
I highly recommend the Rev. Dr. Dyson's book, "Tears We Cannot Stop," for anyone who's looking for a social-justice and racial-justice read. Michael Eric Dyson's writing is as poetic as it is prophetic; he writes this book with the cadence and beauty of an inspiring, humbling, and deeply moving church sermon. He concludes this work with recommended readings and viewings for white allies in the antiracist fight, and calls for all white Americans to take meaningful action to fix what has been going on for too painfully long (hundreds of years). This book is not without some really hard, tough truths, and it is often painful to read, but in my opinion, if we're ever going to move forward as a nation, we white Americans need to confront our country's ugly history with racism and deal with our all-too-easy to sweep racial injustice under the rug due to our white privilege. A must-read for anyone who cares about racial injustice and who wants to take positive, concrete action to end it.

Five +++ stars!
Format: Kindle
For any of us who have ever thought ourselves on the journey of reconciliation, this is the book to read. It is uncomfortable at times, challenging, and also encouraging. This book gave me hope for a world of reconciliation, but also a challenge that it takes Us (White people). It takes us recognizing our privilege and not staying silent about that privilege. Often we are told, as White people, that we need to be learning about our own White privilege and teaching each other...but often that seems hard to do when we don’t know what we are doing right or wrong. The fact that this book is out there no longer offers us that excuse. This is the antidote for that, if we are willing to hear it. Michael Eric Dyson is always brilliant...but this book that speaks directly to us (White people), for us, and about us has to be one of my favorites.
