Deerhoof &#8211; &#8220;Friend Opportunity&#8221; (2007).  Yes, it&#8217;s quirky and yes, you never know from one second to the next where the tunes are going.  Put aside the Saidian issues with exoticising cute Japanese [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=redmedicine.wordpress.com&blog=543113&post=58&subd=redmedicine&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Ponys are an unpretentious rock’n’roll band from Chicago and “Turn The Lights Out” is their third album.  It’s fabulous.  Great songs, clanging, garage-band production and awesome guitar solos.  Twelve fierce little nuggets ranging from the Cramps-like stomp of “Everyday Weapon” to the “Day Dream Nation” riffola of “Poser Psychotic”.
