More of the Same in a Compiled Format


Last month it was a double disc of indiepop goodness for Compilation Day.

Today is more of the same.

For better or worse.

(I think better)


...One Last Kiss (1992)

So this is the inaugural release by SpinArt Records and another good place to start if you're looking for some guidance in where to start looking to get your fix of 90's indiepop. It's a genre that's every bit as widespread and and amazing to dig into as any of the usual ones that record collector scum ever wax rhapsodic about but currently still easily available and cheap. I mean, if you're reading this and taking advantage, you probably already know this but as an obsessive record collector of all kinds of stuff over the years, take my advice and get in on the ground floor while you can still afford the good stuff. (I mean, the Lilys and Swirlies stuff is already going for more than I want to part with on Discogs) You might not be able to retire on it, but you'll have something good to listen to and escape the dreariness of nursing home life at least

Track listing is

1. Chris R. - Swirlies

  2. Lamp - Suddenly, Tammy!
  3. Mimesis - Lorelei
  4. Daisy Kiss - Veronica Lake
  5. 100,000 Fireflies - Magnetic Fields
  6. Hair Like Alain Delon - White Town
  7. Arm In Arm - Honeybunch
  8. Helicopter - Swirl
  9. One Wish Too Many - Our American Cousins
  10. You Should Have Seen The One That Got Away - Tree Fort Angst
  11. All The Stars - Crayon
  12. Shutdown - Jane Pow
  13. I Love Her All The Time - Whorl
  14. Hey Lucille - Small Factory
  15. Forgotten Favorite - Velocity Girl
  16. Baseball Bat - Courtney Love
  17. Any Several Sundays - Lilys
  18. We Can't Be Friends - Black Tambourine
  19. Change Of Address Kit - Wimp Factor 14

There is very little by way of filler here. It's all fucking good and you could play it for your mom which in the Grunge was where the real rebellion was.
