Music with Grant Smithies

A couple of mighty fine reissues catch Grant Smithies' ear this week. We'll hear key tracks from Straitjacket Fits' second album, 1991's Melt, and a snarling punk pearler from Te Atatu's Dum Dum Boys, whose 1981 album Let There Be Noise has just been rereleased via LA label, In The Red. To close, a spacy slab of Afro-disco from Amsterdam quintet The Mauskovic Dance Band.
