The Push Kings Blowin' Up! 7" (Sealed Fate) This is the kind of pop perfection that wears your needle out. An album, please, boys. 10 (RB) Nightstick Ultimatum (Relapse) Brutally crushing heaviosity that makes bands like Earth and Sleep sound like the Partridge Family. 9 (JC) Duke Ellington Paris Blues soundtrack (Ryko) Duke walks Satchmo through the score to this classic 1961 jazz flick. 8 (RB) Patricia O'Callaghan Youkali (Marquis Classics) Serious soprano (babe), seducing the CBC with Weill, Poulenc and Satie. 7 (CY) The Unbeatables Debunker (Fatboy) From Ottawa, poetry over jazz with a snarky grin and a joybuzzer handshake. 7 (RB) Jagged Edge A Jagged Era (Sony) This Atlanta R&B combo is nothing new, but it'll probably get you laid. 5/10 (SC) Billie Myers Growing, Pains (Universal) Listening, hurts. 3 (CY) Mystery Machine Headfirst Into Everything (Nettwerk) These Vancouver popsters might want to consider a name change... like maybe Misery Machine. 3 (JC)
Fretblanket Home Truths From Abroad (Polydor) A turd of a band is worth two in the Bush. 2 (CY)
