A Small Variety Assortment


I need to get some shit done.

Here's some sweet prime 7 inch Indiepop compilations.

You may need these.





 Crayola Catastrophy (2001)

A1 Tugboat Fantastic! I'll Stick With You
A2 The Casino Ashtrays Gilded
B1 The Summer In Between Simple & True
B2 The National Splits Your David Starship

Since buying this on a whim I've been slowly acquiring every release on the Kittridge Records label. I haven't been disappointed in anything but the purposeful misspelling of "catastrophe" on this record.
It offends my sensibilities.









Kissing Book/Cherry Ice Cream Smile split (1998)


A1 Kissing Book Teen Club
A2 Kissing Book Just Another Pop Song
B1 Cherry Ice Cream Smile Squeaky Clean
B2 Cherry Ice Cream Smile Amelia Earhart    

One of the hallmarks of mid to late 90's indiepop bedroom label releases besides the low quality of the vinyl and mastering, was choking the sleeve with massive amounts of bits of paper all kinds of haphazardly cut with scissors.

Whole forests were decimated for this.

This one compounds the immense clutter by including a wooden ice cream spoon with the band's name emblazoned on it like we were sitting here forever  with a nice Italian Ice and no eating implement just about ready to dig into it with our fingers out of sheer desperation before buying this single and the day being saved.

I want nice primitive pop songs, not junk that I feel compelled to keep with the rest of the overstuffed package because that's how it came and I have a pathological need for the intactness of things.

Fortunately I got those too.


Bonus material!




Milky Way No. 1 (1991)

A1 HoneyBunch Nothing But Trouble
A2 Small Factory The Giant Merry-Go-Round
A3 The Bachelor Pad Sunshower Sun

I thought I'd already done this one a long while back when I did all the Honeybunch singles. Apparently not. So here you go.
