Going Underground: Teenage Kicks 2

Various Artists

WHAT'S THE STORY? Two discs chock-full of vintage new wave and arthouse punk. Air guitars and weeping pimples at the ready!

TO BE HONEST: Does a fine job of showing up the current crop of pretenders as the spotty plagiarists that they are (yeah, you 'eard us, Bloc Party, Dead 60s, Ordinary Boys...outside, parking lot, now. And bring a tool).

BEST TRACKS: 'Love Cats' (The Cure), 'Ghost Town' (The Specials), 'Going Underground' (The Jam), 'Love Song' (The Damned), 'Senses Working Overtime' (XTC).

OOH, NEVER BLOODY HEARD THAT ONE: 'Is Vic There?' (Department S). Department who???
