On 1999's Luxury Problem, the Lunachicks continue cranking out the loud, trashy punk with which they've made a name for themselves. Songs like "Less Teeth More Tits," "Bad Ass Bitch," and "Shut You Out" keep the raunchy, bad girl rock going strong. ~ Heather Phares
Recording information: Excello Studios, Brooklyn, NY (12/1998).

Luxury Problem
$6.95
It only makes sense that a generation of middle-class white kids who (to make a broad generalization) often find their refuge from humanity in entertainment -- whose psyches are saturated with sarcastic sitcom one-liners, celebrity gossip, and overexposure to niche marketing -- would produce bands like Nerf Herder. Like their debut album of Weezer-esque post-grunge punk-pop, the band's sophomore effort How to Meet Girls is approximately half an hour's worth of the goofiness and smart-alecky cynicism you'd expect from aforementioned media-junkie types. It's all jokey and willfully disposable, of course, and while the band makes vaguely self-deprecating references to being sexually unappealing geeks, it's all taken to a ridiculous extreme, ensuring that nothing serious is ever really addressed. That isn't necessarily a bad thing -- whoever said good music had to be serious? -- but there are times when the onslaught of pop-culture references creates such a hermetically sealed world of music and TV that it's hard not ...

| | Lunachicks Babysitters On Acid CD (1990)
Luxury Problem
$9.79
The Lunachicks' shtick was well in place by the time Babysitters on Acid appeared, a debut which didn't have much to say, but said it with enough base humor and zealous punk antics to keep the spirit of comic anti-revolution alive. Unsurprisingly, like many punk revivalists in the 1990s, the Lunachicks were busy with pop culture references (The Brady Bunch, James Bond) and offensive lyrics ("Lord, I hope they never come back!/ok kid, step on the oven rack/you wanna know how the baby is?/don't worry, she's almost done"), all the while relying too deeply on heavy metal riffs and sloppy drumming, as if the idea of methodically recreating the dubious ...
| | Stooges Heavy Liquid CDs (2005) (Import) United Kingdom
Luxury Problem
$65.29
Is it possible that someone was following the Stooges around circa 1972-1973, taping their every move? It certainly seems that way, as evidenced by the overabundance of outtakes and demos that has surfaced from the group's Raw Power period. The most exhaustive collection to focus on these tracks arrived in 2005 -- the six-disc box Heavy Liquid. Set up similarly to a previous Stooges box set, Rhino Handmade's 2000 release 1970: The Complete Funhouse Sessions, this is not six discs worth of different rare songs, but rather songs that are repeated over and over again. And unless you're the biggest Stooges fanatic in the universe, there's simply no way you can sit through 13 takes of "I Got a Right." Longtime Stooges fans will undoubtedly be long familiar with most of these selections, as they've been included an countless compilations over the years (mostly on the Bomp! label) -- the aforementioned "I Got a Right," "I'm Sick of You," "Johanna," "Open Up and Bleed," "I Got Nothin'," "Head On," etc. There's not much here that most of the Stooges faithful haven't already heard countless times before. But the packaging ...
| | Caifanes El Silencio CD (1992)
Luxury Problem
$7.79 
Having Adrian Belew produce a Caifanes album must have seemed like a great idea, since the Mexican band had a musical attack as accomplished and eclectic as Belew's own work. Unfortunately, the pairing just doesn't strike sparks here. Belew's influence shows up throughout the album, which has more jittery rhythms and odd dissonances than other albums by the band. This works fine on a few cuts, such as the lively "Nubes," but over the course of the album it is a distraction. That sense of musical clutter may also be due to the attempted expansion of the band -- Caifanes picked up two new members on this album. The experiment was evidently a failure, because both were gone by the time the band recorded their next album. It is notable that the most effective song, the spooky title track, is the one that has the simplest arrangement. "Vamos a Hacer un Silencio" ...
| | Cribabi Volume CD (2002)
Luxury Problem
$14.29
Based on bandmember Andy Cox's past in the Fine Young Cannibals and the English Beat, it's no surprise that Cribabi is pure pop -- with a bit of a creative world music feel to it. Cox handles all the instruments, throwing in a lot of keyboard work that opens up the album in almost a tribal manner on "Everything Is Nothing" and moves it along from there. Singer Yukari Fujiu does all the vocal work, and sings quite smoothly. ...
