Review by Ralph Thayer

The Now Playing V2 Records SXSW Film Festival Sampler by Various is a collection of songs that showcase a diverse range of musical styles. The album includes tracks from artists such as The Black Angels, The Warlocks, and The Dandy Warhols, among others. The overall sound of the album is a mix of rock, indie, and alternative genres.

The album begins with the track "Better Off Alone" by The Black Angels, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song has a heavy, psychedelic sound that is reminiscent of the 1960s. The next track, "Red Eyes and Tears" by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, has a more modern sound that is influenced by grunge and punk rock.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Shake the Dope Out" by The Warlocks and "We Used to Be Friends" by The Dandy Warhols. "Shake the Dope Out" has a catchy, upbeat rhythm that is perfect for dancing, while "We Used to Be Friends" has a more melancholic sound that is reminiscent of 1980s alternative music.
