CD / The
Dirty Sweets / Bubblegum Damaged / Rip Off Records
Debut album from Austin punkers. Fast and dirty, catchy and simple --
just like you'd expect from Rip Off -- with a foxy ass-kicker for a lead
singer.

CD / The Electric Eels / The Eyeball of Hell / Scat
Records
At a time when the most abrasive music is being made on tiny machines,
reexperiencing the jarring, aural nihilism of the Electric Eels is a

n' roll."

CD / The
Human League / Reproduction, and Travelogue / Virgin
There was a time, long ago, before the huge successes (and eventual
commercial obsolescence) that the Human League were truly great. Before
the addition of two female backup singers, before their breakthrough
album, Dare!, the League was a lyrically confounding and musically astounding
electro art rock ensemble.

CD / Scott
4 & Magic Car / European Punks LP / Tiny Dog
This LP is the first thing Scott 4 have released in several years. They
have teamed up with English folk band Magic Car for a collaborative effort.
The result is much mellower than Scott 4 had been in the past, but will
be pleasing to fans of Tindersticks.

of my skull, my musical adventure is complete.

The 3 track 7" is another arrow shot into doubters backs. Billy
Childish has not disappeared or gone stale. His new band The Buff Medways
are putting out great singles one after the other.

CD / Creme Blush /
New York / Industrial Strength
This 6-track EP from a female-fronted New York new-wavey combo reminds
