Is there a bigger smile-inducer than the Modern Lovers' first record? This is one classic I haven't played into the ground, and each time I pull it out I wonder why I don't spin it more before realizing that occasional contact enhances each listening experience. From the greatest ode to convertibles, "Roadrunner" to the only straight edge song you nod along to, "I'm Straight," to the toe-tappinest tale of girlfriend insanity, "She Cracked," to the creepiest premise for soap opera dialogue, "Hospital," this is relentlessly catchy, painfully funny and wonderfully enjoyable. If you've forgotten about it while yet another hyped modern next-big-thing drops flat in your ears, yank it out. Guarantee yourself at least one grin today.02 October 2008
