I bought this 30-year-old comp from a Half Price Books clearance shelf for $2 because it had Redd Kross on it. I figured, hell, if the "Phaseshifter"-era McDonald brothers are batting lead-off, then the rest of the lineup can't be too bad. And I was right. This one's a mix of UK & US early 90s indie and Japanese indie pop. The Penelopes' two songs are great, and Samantha's Favourite is a band I'll be keeping an eye out for. This one probably should be on I Hate The 90s, but I never heard back about contributing there, so here you go.

I still find it hard to believe that "Switchblade Sister" wasn't on any of RK's albums. Happy holidays and best wishes for the new year, Ape Mummy!
I'm planning a trip to Bellingham in the spring to visit my daughter. Where should I dig for records?
