The Turntable

August 29, 2003

Not the band, but rather the new Basement Jaxx record. This album has those “what in the…?” moments on every single song about every 16 bars.

I had a little spot in place for it on my year-end top 20 before it leaked and it has earned its place on only five listens. Suggested tracks? Maybe “Good Luck” to get started. And…well, I won’t go down that road. It’s all good.
