...compilations like Rewind, mixed by leading garage producers Artful Dodger, aim to provide an introduction to the garage sound. The opener, Artful Dodger's own "Woman Trouble," is enormously convincing: if listeners are initially thrown off by its weird, shuffling beats, even the most funk-deprived booties will succumb to the awesome mess of kick drums, crisp snares, fat melodic bass and sensuous vocals that soon follow.

Took her keys away from her. Some Westlanders were so incensed they started a recall effort. If you were a council member who voted poor Pat Gibbons out of office, then your job was on the line. Two council members actually resigned and then nine months was spent getting a recall election date set (November 28). The twice-monthly...
