SF punk originators saved from neglect

"Not everyone can relate/To what you and I appreciate," croons Devendra Banhart on one track of this fourth effort. It may be the truest, least cloying sentiment he's ever uttered, certainly on disc. Recorded at the same sessions as his recent Rejoicing In The Hands debut, it's a similar anthology of songs shot through with naïve, awestruck wonder, delivered in a warbling croon that's equal parts Ed Askew and Robbie Basho, over steadily thrumming finger-style guitar.

Compilation of live concert footage, TV clips and Marky Ramone's on-the-road video footage from 1979-2002 misses the Ramones' prime. Marky's films are mundane trivia with little character insight. MTV news clips tell the story of Dee Dee's drug addiction and departure only in passing, but alongside their tearful Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame induction, the impressive live footage shows why they outlasted their peers.
