Comment:

I tend to believe that most, if not all, record nerds genuinely love their records. Even so, the sort of indie snobishness that a really bitchin' record collection allows you to direct at people who listen to Z100 or something is certainly a neat bonus. This is a mix of stuff that has, at one time or another, set the rock and roll cognicenti chattering. Also included are some bands that have been hip to cite as influences while giving interviews to Vice Magazine or those goddamn weirdos at The Wire. All except the Sisters, I guess, who seemed to fit but who are heroes only to the black-eyeliner-and-mesh-t-shirt crowd. My cousin, for whom this mix was made, should mention these bands while talking to irritating indier-than-thou types. These bands pack so much cred that they'll send 'em scurrying.
