POP CD – “America is like a giant retarded trust fund kid”; “I was late to an ether frolic”; “Angie Dickinson could suck…” well, that last line’s better left for Patton Oswalt himself to finish. Let’s back up. An acerbically funny standup and underrated comedic actor, Oswalt finally gets his own album with Feelin’ Kinda Patton, and there’s a good chance Wal-Mart isn’t stocking it. Speaking too quickly for your kidneys to process the laugh pain, Oswalt puts a pincer through the strata of American society, skewering everyone from the President and his curious motives, to decadent Hollywood producer Robert Evans, to gumpy Midwestern Fashion Bug workers navely laying ‘80s pop/soap opera discard Michael Damian behind the Tilt-A-Whirl. “That’s the one thing I like about George Bush”, he says in “Come On Apocalypse.” “I really think he can get us into the Apocalypse.” But while the Prez definitely raises Oswalt’s hackles, his Bush bit only sets up a description of why it’d be so great to buy the farm during such an event. As he says, it’s a better way to go than getting eaten by fire ants, right? There’s a bit of David Cross in Oswalt’s style, mostly in how effectively both use the F-word, but also in their common ability to weave hilarious cynicism through a jumble of personal experience and mundane pop culture events. But Feelin’ Kinda Patton really gets going whenever Oswalt vaults off the usual comic fodder — ‘80s hair metal, porn, hippies — into bizarre flights of disposable culture surrealism. His recollection of an old Asti Spumante ad becomes an invitation into the twisted sex life of a frustrated midlevel professional; Robert Evans is the anchor for a meta-analysis of 1970s Hollywood Babylon. Not everyone’s gonna get it. But for those who do, it’s at least as funny as King of Queens. – Feelin’ Kinda Patton (CD)

Neo-Prog CD – Although the logo on Danava’s self-titled EP may resemble that of a death metal group (where the band’s name is almost impossible to decipher), the music is nothing like Morbid Angel. The Portland, OR quartet (for the record, their name is pronounced “Don-Uh-Vuh”) specializes in a sound that is hard to pin down to a single genre, as they somehow manage to touch upon metal, prog, and glam (cool ’70s glam, not godawful ‘80s glam) all at the same time. In fact, as evidenced by such tracks as “Quiet Babies Astray in a Manger” and “By the Mask,” the band somehow manage to touch upon all three styles in the span of a single song. And keeping in line with their retro sound/approach, the group also dresses the part — early-’70s hair styles and threads (judging by the band shot inside the CD case). – Danava (CD)

Musical CD – Comprised of ex-Dag Nasty/Minor Threat and future Bad Religion guitarist Brian Baker, Junkyard’s 1989 debut is a rollicking, good time, if somewhat disjointed, affair. Produced by veteran classic rock knobster Tom Werman, the band’s self-titled debut puts a different spin on the late-’80s hair rock mantra. Dirtier and certainly blusier than most of its counterparts, Junkyard incorporated elements of Southern rock, boogie-woogie, and AC/DCism into one compact sound. Songs like “Simple Man,” replete with saloon-style piano, make a valid argument for a good idea seen through with lackluster execution. The album’s single “Hollywood” sounds like Faster Pussycat playing through Lynyrd Skynyrd’s guitar rig. If you like Rhino Bucket or the Sea Hags of this world, Junkyard’s debut is worth checking out. – Junkyard (CD)
