‘Housexy Spring 06’Various
(EMI/Ministry of Sound)
How sexy indeed. As the weather heats up, and we whet our appetites with a taste of a summer party season approaching, this compilation of lust-driven dance music is very much the flavour of the moment. A varied selection of fun and cheesy beats and rhythms smoothly mixed together by Alan Thompson, some tracks are slightly on the “easy listening” side, leaving to be desired something more pounding, driving, dirty or grinding. Then again, it’s an ideal mix for either just warming up for the evening or winding down. Either way, it’s all about an attitude of cool and sexy.

‘Short. Fast. Loud.’Various
(Warner/Triple J)
If you think Good Charlotte is punk, Triple J’s Stu Harvey will show you where to stick your safety pins and teach you that punk is not just about how black your eyeliner is, or about how much you can whinge about your poor unfortunate pathetic life. Disc One of this compilation is a selection of classics and favourites, from bands such as The Saints, Fugazi, and At The Drive In. While hardcore fans may own all their albums, surely a “Punk, Best of” could be appreciated. Disc Two proves that indeed, punk’s not dead, with a snapshot of all that’s going on in the Australian scene today. Bands regularly featured on the Short. Fast. Loud. radio program such as The Disables, The Hot Lies and Parkway Drive keep the ideology alive and give us youth something real to get angsty about.
