Album

Hilarious US left-field comedian

Diverse, patchy covers album from Greg Dulli

Magnificently barmy indie-opera from NY's squabbling Friedbergers

Sophomore effort from Devon's teenage would-be-soul empress

Though Ween spent over a decade growing into one of America's biggest cult bands, renowned for a live show of bad taste and dizzying chaos, this is a curiously tame, professional fair. Brothers Dean and Gene blow through a lengthy 26-song set with flawless musicianship, but with the passion of a band who know they are knocking on and that the juvenile japes are wearing thin. One for Ween devotees.

Country-soul class from the vaults

Nineteen Jamaican 'versions' of US soul/funk tunes

Early Motherly love from Zappa vaults

Second album from much-vaunted Edinburgh nu-folkster

Official bootleg from Brooklyn's big-hearted punk poet
