If I have any quibbles with this, it’s that some of the tracks feel a little short - there are 14 in 39 minutes with lots of variation and interesting ideas but too many of them fade out too quickly when they could have easily been expanded into longer freakouts.
Slanted & Enchanted by Pavement

This is very much the Velvet Underground as seen through the lens of early 90s lo-fi shoegaze/proto-grunge. The album was recorded for $800 in a garage but still sounds pretty good to my aged ears, with droning guitars and solid drums supporting lead singer Stephen Malmus’ Lou Reed style vocals.

Street Signs by Ozomatli

This one was a little tricky to track down on streaming, but it was well worth the effort and I’ve put the cd on my to buy list. The opening track ‘Believe’ is a good example of the style, mixing bouncy Latin rhythms with Bollywood funk and rap, to produce an infectious bit of dance music. There are couple of skippable ballads on here which just knocks it down from being a five star for me. Definitely one to check out!

You really can’t go wrong with tracks like Fuck Shit Up and Chicken Dog which brings back veteran bluesman Rufus C Thomas to reprise his classic hits Funky Chicken and Walk the Dog, and apparently have a whale of a time doing it.
Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

Sometimes you just want music to be an enjoyable racket, with a group thrashing around and having a good time, without overthinking anything. This album does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a mix of blues, random screams, punk riffs, a bit of dub, weird shit and a very creditable Elvis impression.
