In which I make jokes about: Daniel Chick, Charlie Pickering, Nova Scotian fishing fleets, Pauline Hanson, Adam Sandler, the Pigeon Detectives and many, many other things.

Getting a Beastie Boy to produce your record: smart.
Slaves’ swaggery-eff you punk, and their first album Are You Satisfied (that I also reviewed for Rolling Stone) was a blast of pungent fresh air, so getting Mike D to produce their second record is an unexpected, yet awesome, move. With that in mind, read my review of Slaves’ Take Control for Rolling Stone right here.

Sticky Fingers offstage rock’n’roll personas – whether you believe in the veracity of them or not – can, in an unsurprising way, take away from their musical output.
Which kinda sucks. Because their new album, Westway: The Glitter & The Slums works as a super-interesting comedown record to their last album, Land of Pleasure. That was a bonkers sunshine indie psyche-pop gem — my 2014 review of it for Rolling Stone gave it 4 stars — and Westway is scrappier, stranger and not quite the summer-jam kiler its predecessor was. It definitely has more heart, however.
Anyway. With that in mind – my featured review of Westway: The Glitter & The Slums for Rolling Stone is right here.
