VARIOUS ARTISTS - BLATANT DOOM TRIP

Incurable Me
by R.C. Avellanosa

 

Another Guided By Voices tribute compilation. I lost count. From 1998, eighteen tracks from seventeen predominantly obscure Canadian artists. Don't get your hopes up, but it's the best GBV tribute there is. Thurston Moore,  Shelley on Stabbing A Star as Male Slut, early Gem (Doug Gillard) on My Impression Now. Real impressive. Choose to abuse this, just to unlock your mind.

AVALANCHE - CHRISTCHURCH EP'S COMPILATION

Collapze Into
by R.C. Avellansoa

Before the month ends, I leave you with the best compilation I heard for the whole month of July. This is completely a very good and rare find. All New Zealand artists forwarded by a good friend who gladly sent it online without my asking. It just shows how much he wants someone to heed and hear this compilation. A gem of sorts. Shoegaze, Rock and Metal. A 90s rock complete mix. Three tracks from five artists. Supertanker, 147Swordfish, Pumpkinhead, Loves Ugly Children, and Lurch. Packaged in one serving.

THE BEST OF NEW MUSIC - VOLUME 3

A Piece of Paradise
by R.C. Avellanosa

 

I'd say the album cover was a come-on.  Apparently designed by Ella Chico, who designed Volume 1 and Matt Joson, who designed the second.  The cover is actually a collage of magazine clippings, which to me looked a lot like a newspaper headline.  A delightful feast of Modern Rock adobo.

The most memorable modern rock compilation album that I could suffice. Remembering cassette tape bliss and players. I'm sorry but we can't afford the cd or the vinyl. It's just is pocketwise.  We're clearly satisfied with the cassette tape. It's more handy and we could take and play it anywhere.  We did have recorded mixtapes of this series. Passed on through to be played on both wild and lame events. This has inspired the likes of me to learn the guitar, keyboards or the drums.  Or just daydream about forming a band, a modern rock outfit.  And it is just so sweet, a rush on to have us cretins wanna hop some more!

The Thrill of Chance
by R.C. Kola

It's like doing the same thing all over and over again. You do it and then stop when it gets boring. Do another new one, lose interest, and then do the old ones again. "Dating Gawi" or "Nakagawian", it's a cycle. Listening to old records and just trying to feel good about how it felt good the first or the nth time you heard it. As what one artist said and I quote "you can change the feeling, but you can't change the feelings about the feeling".

This is the first volume of the various artists New Music compilation only made for the Filipino market. Back when XB 102 and NU 107 ruled the airwaves. Filipinos were into this New Wave, Modern Rock, New Music thing. This is one clever collection of post-punk artists. Nothing more to say.

Dosenang Eksena
by R.C. Avellanosa

 

This was how local rock bands sounded in 1994. Choose your favorite or just play them. Re-experience the Alternative 90s. I don't personally like this album that much but it's nice to post them if just for posterity. These bands may have been clouded by some other local acts, just the same it is a delight.
