I've always loved so-called alternative music. Anymore its not really an alternative to anything mainstream. Again, some very good cover songs thrown in here and lots of hidden gems and a few classics. I wanted to include the Black Heart Procession's cover of Tom Petty's song, but couldn't find a quality recording. The Trespassers William do, what I consider to be an improved version of a Ride song, and Moby/Heather Nova take a Clash classic in a beautiful new direction. Threw in some Beequeen since they a sorely overlooked group, and followed with some fantastic finds in 23 Skidoo's early era, and Fall of Saigon which is a Pascal Comelade project. The HNIA track here is a favorite which was highlighted on the "Shaving the Pavement" 4AD tour sampler cassette. Ending with a favorite from Yo La Tengo that was in frequent rotation in my house in Manitou.
