Part Time Punks
If The
Young Ones had a band (or did they?) this would be it. Recorded
with the pocket change from the Clash's
ashtray, the whole album--especially the early tracks from the
first quarter of this greatest hits album--sound as if some
dudes just broke into a pub, flipped on the PA and just started
jamming. But that's what makes them hip--the tossed off way
they put together little rock ditties while completely sounding
like they don't give a shit. Talent? Not really. But one can
hear all sorts of influential ideas in here on twee and indie
pop. The whole thing could be a goof for all I know, but don't
tell bands like Belle &
Sebastian or any number of other storytelling UK bands like
Oasis and even Arctic
Monkeys that have obviously listened to all of their records
and taken them to heart.
