Angry young man

is what I'm feeling at the moment - the clips of NY bands on BBC4 last week inspired me to dig out tracks by all of the following:

Sonic Youth (a return to my teenage years)
The Velvet Underground (Shiny shiny shiny boots of leather, etc)
MC5 (has there ever been a greater opening to anything than Kick out the Jams?)

Plus, on another note, the new Air album has arrived - a return to form, or so they claim. I shall have to listen tonight and get back to you...
