The Cat's Miaow- I Kept All Your Letters 7"

more soft indie plop for you to wuss out to. female-fronted and melodic. think a more shoegazey version of the softies perhaps? enjoyable in short bursts. put out in 1995 by quiddity records. i'll also put up another single they released in the same year on the same label as the same band. best track on here probably is it's true.

tracklist:

The Ropers / The Tribbles- Everyone Has A Secret Daydream 7"...

pleasant, inoffensive indie pop here. the ropers track is the best of the bunch i'd say, though them tracks by the tribbles ain't too bad neither. quiet and melodic. tunes to trick your mother into thinking you're not violent and angry and about to do something bad. this came out with a magazine in 1994 and was a split release by brilliant records and giant pool ball records.

the ropers- sweet lord i know

the tribbles- mercury

the tribbles- liberty 5-3000

Tara S'appart- Little 7"

don't care much for any of the songs on here, but it's a neat little relic because of its relation to eric's trip. their best full-length album was definitely love tara, and this here is that tara. the one that rick loved. the one who, if we're to believe her moniker, tore rick and julie s'appart. maybe you'll like some of this. i see what she's going for here, but the dice are missing. rick white drums on this recording. it was put out by homemade hearts in 1996.

Juniper- You Don't Hide So Well

as foretold. more really swell tunes from this awesome band. this is the last in the way of recordings by juniper that i know of. by now you hopefully know the score. lovely shoegaze pop. both sides of this 7" are total winners. a turntable friend put this slab-o'-wax out in 1996. listen, listen, repeat.

tracklist:

you don't hide so well

Juniper- Making Gerard Smile 7"

juniper rules. i posted their third effort on fantastic pop records a while back, and now here's their first release. pretty sure their entire recorded output consists of three 7"s, and i'll have the second posted here sometime soon. awesome stuff here. female-fronted shoegazesque pop. put out in 1996 on the orange label. highly recommended.

tracklist:

Poundsign- The Almondy Many 7"

it's been a little while, old friend. pull up a chair and sit on it backwards. another 7" by poundsign here, and if you liked the last one then you'll probably like this one too. melodic indie pop. put out on fantastic records in 1997. the sugar on this one might have you bouncing a bit but it's not enough to rot your teeth. i mean that in a good way. because rotting teeth is undesirable. 

tracklist:

Horsey- Go Light 7"

alright, back to the rock, hopefully for real this time. what you're getting here is some nice, quiet-like indiepop. the title track ends with a really excellent little bit of instrumentalism. put out by trackshun industries in 1993. get bent.

tracklist:
