I thought it was pretty cool and rather thoughtful of her.

Simona, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It would have been better if there was no U2.

Chris, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, nice of her, but thoughtful? No. there wasn't much thinking in the sequencing and it's just too 'varied' to work.

Julio Desouza, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I like the "varied" aspect of it. I like how the Smiths goes into Big Black.

Simona, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Is this your older sister? It seems like something that would have been put together as an "alternative music sampler" in 1989 or thereabouts.

dleone, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I love compilations like this. Actually, I'd love this regardless because it has "Everyday Is Halloween" on it.

Dan Perry, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, she's older.

Simona, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Simona, I would like a copy would you send me one?

Chris, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes I will email you and you send me your info. I'm having a party tonight and I think this will be on repeat.

Simona, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I would just like to say that anything that includes pre - "walk on the ocean" toad the wet sprocket gets my vote. I have a soft spot in my heart for anything off of Pale and Bread and Circus as my ex-gf and I spent many nights in college playing these albums over and over again to the wee hours of the morning. thank you.

Chris, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Varied?" I'm in love with this comp because it's a pretty great summary of everything my friends and I were listening to during my first two years of high school. I'd pay money for it.

nabisco%%, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

nabisco, when I get my copy, she's sending me the mp3's, I will be more than happy to provide you one.

Chris, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Im not sending you the mp3's it takes toooooooo long. I will send the cd's itself to you. Seeing as your in Massachusetts, you'll get them in a few days.

Simona, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

''19. Style Council ? My Ever Changing Moods 20. Joy Division ? Love Will Tear Us Apart''

I have just proved (by science obv) that compilations like this are crap! And why oh why would anyone wnt to listen to bowie and billy bragg.

I quite like a few of these though.

Julio Desouza, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Julio, do you ever have anything nice to say about anything? Which ones do you fancy, I'm interested to see what your all about musically.

Simona, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Simona: I like some of the tracks on this compilation but it's always a problem because you got to skip to get to things I would like (though you must've heard these before and I'm sure your sister knows you like these tarcks). Also it's just mostly indie/grunge's greatest hits, you know though I haven't every single track actually.

Disc 2: I do like tracks 2, 3 ,4, 9, 11 but I haven't heard some of these.

Julio Desouza, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks Julio, Im glad you didn't say anything negative this time. I appreciate the input. Yes she knows I like these tracks, it is a greatest hits somewhat. But like nabisco said before its mostly a reminder of high-school times, I'm not fond of some of these anymore. it just puts a smile on my face when i here some of them.

Simona, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

simona- i wasn't entirely negative even before my previous post. I did say: 'I quite like a few of these though.' though i didn't name anything.

Julio Desouza, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

simona julio is overflowing with positive things to say about journey. otherwise, nope. negative all the way.

Josh, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yes josh very enthusiastic about journey/skullflower/fushitsusha/huskerdu/minutemen, etc etc

Julio Desouza, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The cd's were a big hit at my party, so i guess as long as I enjoy them its all that matters.

Simona, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i received my copies of this. if anyone else wants one let me know.
