THE REVIEW

A little girl on tiptoe, curiously peeking through a window. "What's all this racket?"  Gordon Gano and company mistreat their poor musical instruments.

Jonathan Richman & Modern Lovers after a healthy snack of amphetamines, try out the tracks from their epic debut at double speed.

At a party, the very drunk and debuting Talking Heads are playing.

Primitive Television and the crazy rhythms of the Feelies.

Jack White's slap-worthy face.

Images evoked by "Celebration," the 2008 debut of Thomas Function.

A celebration of rock'n'roll dirty with Velvet-like sweat, garage punk, metropolitan country, and frenzied Paisley seasoned with post-punk aromas.

A celebration of instinctive, frenetic, joyful music with melodies that bring a smile. To guitars, keyboards, and the almost hysterical pimpled voice. A celebration of piles of forgotten records but always in the heart that this music invites us to rediscover.

Impossible not to join the party
