Frank Zappa -- Hot Rats

  Man I can't say I'm too crazy about Zappa's Jazz driven hippie elevator Muzak, but I do get how it is extremely technical and requires a large amount of focused talent ... All in all the bluesy Beefheart led super hit, Willy The Pimp, was best thing to write home about!!

Chad Vangaalen -- Shrink Dust

  This is one fine little release, but my only real concern is that every track sounds like someone else, you've got from Iron and Wine to Radiohead to Brian Jonestown Massacre to M. Ward, which is fine and all, but next time he may not want to piggie back on all his favorite bands, don't get me wrong the music itself is good, it's just the album has a feel of compilation record!
