Comment:

Ah, the early to mid-1990's... When the word "alternatve" while still not a great description, actually held meaning and promised new and exciting sounds. Remember when you'd stay up until 1am listening to the radio in hopes you'd hear that amazing song one more time? Here are 60 of those songs placed somewhat in chronological order -- 1990 to 1995. Disc three of 3.

All three discs look great. Disc three is my favourite of the three.

Nicely done, again. And proof that Pavement and Yo La Tengo saved indie rock. (Though I'd add Guided by Voices to make it a triumvirate.)

Did I ever mention just how cool it is that you used that FANTASTIC Sloan song on this mix? :-) Obviously, I love a ton of the stuff that you've placed on these mixes (including the Pulp song from which you draw your title), but that one deserved special mention.
