Review: “I got a right to say FUCK YOU!!!” is how the new album from veteran guitarist Marc Ribot’s trio Ceramic Dog starts off, with Ribot howling in anger at corruption, tyranny, life in general, and nothing in particular. If you’ve got a serious case of outrage fatigue, Ceramic Dog’s explosive cocktail of balls-to-the-wall abandon, chameleonic disregard for style constraints, political commentary, and absurdist humor is just the shot in the ass you might need. The disc careens from punk to funk to flamenco to surf to rock ‘n roll — all turned on their heads and smudged,

8/ Fuck La Migra (2:54) - raucous guitar starts> uptempo jam & song> two crescendos to end
