Got It Made was the 2000 debut album from Brassy, the Manchester crew fronted by Muffin Spencer, younger sister of Jon Spencer of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, who'd crossed over from New Hampshire as a teenager. With Stefan Gordon on guitar, Karen Frost on bass and backing vocals and Jonny Barrington, alias DJ Swett, behind the kit, the band produced it themselves and built plenty of it on sampled loops and turntable scratching.
The result is a block party with guitars. "Parkside" lifts from the Beastie Boys' "Paul Revere", "No Competition" dips into drum and bass, "That's the Way" grew out of Spencer's love of LL Cool J, and "L Vs. S" is a mock debate over the merits of Laverne & Shirley. "Good Times" came first as a single. Brassy took it on the road around the UK and then across North America opening for Idlewild, and the Edmonton Journal later named it the third best album of 2000.
