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.

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.

Parallelographically Fit
by R.C. Kola
The indie rock couple Mates of State, Kori and Jason is on to their lovely chemistry with this wonderful 2004 EP. The EP is classic Mates of State. Four tracks that'll leave a smile on your face. Sensible and understandable lyrics, that's what makes Mates of State the duo to follow. Their version of David Bowie's "Starman" sounds entirely like their own. Keys and drums just sound so fit and parallelographically good. Eerily decent and neat, indie-pop royalty.

Sound Trip
R. C. Kola
This is The Church's all instrumental record. Described as epic: ebbing, flowing, distorting, rocking and floating. The first track "The Sexual Act" lasted for about 38 minutes. Trippy, like watching gypsies or half naked primates dancing around a bonfire. Or a tribe of hippies smoking their last straw for another trip to the mountains of Tibet. Or picture yourself drunk out of your senses crawling from the door to your bed which seemed a thousand meters away. Or a swim to shore that you never seem to finish across. Under dumb lights and mocking trees, over skewed bridges and absurd skies. With tambourine shakes, and spinning drones, this jam could mess your head or rearrange it in proper order instead.

On Candlelight
by R.C. Kola
The unmistakable "Femme Fatale" sound of the Book Of Love. From Philadelphia to New York, this synth-pop New Wave group lived from 1984 until 1993. Played behind bands like Depeche Mode, their success zoomed in on 80s to the 90s dance culture. Their songs remixed and ultimately ended up with this Greatest Hits compilation. A lot of their singles were featured in films like The Silence of The Lambs, Philadelphia, and Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
