Ok, We're getting a bit off course here, but it's bound to happen.
At one point this year I'd considered making another blog centering around all the indiepop stuff I'd been collecting and listening to. It didn't materialize, but by that time I'd already sequestered a large alternative folder of material for this potential other blog.
A big feature of the 90s/early 00s world of indiepop centered around compilations. There's thousands of them. Which means I have lots and now they're cluttering up things in a volume that the number of 13ths of the month cannot reasonably sustain.
So here's a nice one right fucking now.
The background in the reason this benefit compilation exists is to be found on Wikipedia.
the TL/DR was Indonesia annexed East Timor in 1975. In 1998 it was proposed that East Timor gain its independence which pissed off pro-Indonesia folks in East Timor and shit got violent which brought in the UN with Australia taking point.to keep peace. Meanwhile the people of East Timor were having some tough times because of the unrest.
Discogs has a tracklist
Many names will be familiar here.
It's a joint venture of Australian label Library Records and Drive In from Grand Rapids, Michigan. So bands from both stables are represented some of whom have been previously posted and others yet to come.
I really need to get back to doing seven inches again soon....
