Universal releases +65 Indie Underground — 3 whole CDs featuring top local independent acts from the 80’s up to now, including Amateur Takes Control, A Vacant Affair, MUON, B-Quartet, I Am David Sparkle, Astreal, The Observatory, aspidistrafly, Plainsunset, Stoned Revivals, Etc, Concave Scream, Humpback Oak, The Padres, The Oddfellows, Zircon Lounge, and if I don’t stop here I might as well post the entire track listing. I’d much rather you bought each of the great albums featured here, but it looks like a fantastic compilation if you’re starting out.
My copy (#14) of Concave Scream’s Soundtrack for a book. It’s fantastic but there aren’t track names and that bothers me because I’m OCD about Last.fm tagging? Wish they’d put up a bigger selection at the Esplanade store; I could only pick from a handful of Great Illustrated Classics that mostly still had pricetags from Popular on the back. I’m sure there’re a lot more interesting books with some history — Youth.sg’s laichow picked up a worn copy of Tom Swift and His Megascope Space Prober with a blank library card in it and it just looks a lot more badass than my old but unused bargain bin book.
Still awesome though.
New Concave Scream album “Soundtrack for a book” available now at the Esplanade store or Kinetic during work hours. Gotta remember to pick it up tomorrow!
