Air -- Moon Safari

  Mega chill, downtime atmosphered Electro duo Air's debut album Moon Safari, it's got a mellow 60's kitch groove with Gainsbourg's Melody Nelson's sophistication and Kraftwerk-esque vocoded robotics ... there was nothing like being a 19 years old boy dancing with a beautiful young woman watching her lips mouth the words to Sexy Boy while looking straight into my eyes, goddamn, that sh*t melted my heart and ego into a smooth pool of cool butter!

Dead Boys -- Young Loud And Snotty

  The title almost says it all but I would have named it raw, mean and sleazy.  The Dead Boys were the next logical step after The Stooges and The New York Dolls, continuing the tradition of f*ck everything, including you Rock 'n' Roll.   No matter of how lewd this all sounds the album is pure Punk and is a force to be reckoned with ...

Gwar -- Hell-o!

  What happens when you bring to life Kiss's puke from a gargantuan amount of speed, coke, heroin, lsd, liquor and mix it with 80's Hardcore Punk ... Gwar's Hell-o! 

Le Tigre

  Man I can remember when this album came out, I was blown away by it's awesomeness, albeit this Dance Punk Electroclash by Bikini Kill's master of ceremonies was the perfect soundtrack to living in Montreal on drugs, clubs, women and booze ... ahhh the good old days, although I say that now, I was probably miserable, cold, hungover and lonely most of the time, so I guess nothing much has changed ... kidding, I'm much nicer now, which is a spooky thought!

Superchunk -- Foolish

  Foolish is the dark side of the usually cutesy Indie Punk masters Superchunk, the sound of a band coming of age, like turning 25 and realizing you don't know sh*t and are re-evaluating.  I kept thinking that if you took the Neil Young out of Eric's Trip it would be this album. 

Gary Wilson -- You Think You Really Know Me

  Gary Wilson's You Think You Really Know Me is an experimental mix of Lounge lizard funk and Musique Conrete, kinda like Suicide meets Prince.  It may be goofy and strange but it definitely has it's place, like the natural progression to Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica, passing the torch of weird ...

Gang Green -- Another Wasted Night

  Kind of typical, slight hint of Thrash, late 80's Hardcore album.  What I don't understand is how these guys managed to survive Boston straight edge jock Punk scene all those years, Gang Green were too cool and too fun, but maybe that was it, they just laughed in all their faces and partied on!!
