Ooga booga baby!

The latest Shannon and the Clams album, "Sleep Talk," is going to be quite a contender on my year-end best list. Really catchy, oldies-flavored pop music with just a hint of that SF trash. Enough to give the dish a unique little tang. Plus, this song alone samples the amazing Screamin' Jay Hawkins and makes a reference to 1932's proto-grindhouse exploitation flick "Freaks." And there are 11 other songs on the album! This thing rules.
