One of Jonathan Richman's better '80s efforts, and certainly one of the most basic, performed in an acoustic trio format. It's nonetheless quite rocking, with heavy debts to doo wop and Bo Diddley rhythms, and a jolly (though not sappy) summertime campfire feel. Some of his best uptempo tunes are here, including "I Love Hot Nights," "California Desert Party," and "Gail Loves Me." (Allmusic.com)

Pond - Wheel / Cinders (1992) 7" Vinyl-Rip
Of the many Pacific Northwest bands signed to Sub Pop following the great grunge gold rush of '91, Pond never earned the critical hosannas and commercial rewards heaped on many of their contemporaries, but their records have withstood the test of time surprisingly well thanks to a knack for smart pop hooks that perfectly complemented their post-punk angularity, and effectively anticipated the emergence of emo years ahead of the fact. Pond's Jon Auer-produced Sub Pop debut single immediately proclaims the group's strengths -- both "Wheel" and "Cinders" boast driving, taut melodies, surprising structural intricacies, and the spirited vocals of Charlie Campbell. And what no doubt seemed out of step with the prevailing musical tastes of 1992 now sounds positively 
timeless as the years continue zipping past. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Holy Rollers - Watching the grass grow (1993) 7" Vinyl-Rip
THE HOLY ROLLERS are a three-piece from Washington D.C. They formed in 1988, with the line-up of Marc Lambiotte on guitar and vocals, Joe Aronstamn on bass and vocals (both Marc and Joe used to be in Grand Mal and Law of Fives), and Maria Jones on drums and vocals. In 1990, they released an album, "As Is" on DISCHORD RECORDS. "Fabuley" (a made-up word expressing extreme joy) followed that album.
Eight of the ten tracks on "Fabuley" were recorded at Inner Ear Studios, produced by Ian MacKaye, Don Zientara & Holy Rollers. The other two tracks were recorded on a 4-track and were produced by Geoff Turner (Gray Matter, 3) Charles Bennington & 
Holy Rollers.
After recording "Fabuley", Maria Jones left THE 'ROLLERS to pursue other projects in San Francisco, and was replaced by a temporary drummer, Christian Smith.
At the beginning of 1992 THE HOLY ROLLERS met drummer Ed Trask through mutual friends. Shortly after their introduction, Ed moved from Richmond, Virginia to join the group. The newly restored three-some quickly embarked on a US tour the following Spring. Upon their return home, they decided to invite a fourth member into the band. With the addition of fellow Richmond native, Chris Bopst, Joe Aronstamn moved to guitar.
Now with two guitars and a powerful rhythm section, they were ready to record. In April 1993, THE HOLY ROLLERS released the first single from their self titled newest album, "Watching The Grass Grow" b/w "Toy". And in late August DISCHORD released their self titled LP.
In 1994 they ran into further drummer problems as Ed Trask quit the band to join Kepone. Joe wants to eventually put out a new record and focus on touring the US heavily after finding a replacement drummer.

Bivouac - Good day song (1993) 7" vinyl-rip
Bivouac first came into existence in the early '90s in West Yorkshire, Britain. The band was made up of singer/guitarist Paul Yeadon, bassist Granville Marsden, and drummer Keith York. Their earlier efforts sounded a bit like Teenage Fanclub or Superchunk with their strong melodies and loud guitars; in fact, they had such a solid sound to begin with that they ended up signing with Elemental Records almost immediately after playing only a few shows and recording one demo. The band released two albums through the label, 1993's Derby & Joan and 1994's Tuber. The albums were big indie successes, big enough to where Elemental owner Nick Evans personally asked the group to move on to bigger pastures. Upon becoming free agents they were picked up by DGC, who released Full Size Boy to little reaction despite the good reviews it garnered. The band eventually disbanded quietly after their lack of success, with Yeadon going on to do work with Pitchshifter. (allmusic.com)

Dinosaur Jr. - Just like heaven (1989) 12"EP vinyl-rip
What at the time must have seemed like a cockeyed gob back at the '80s American indie crowd's favorite whipping boys -- aka anyone from England who used makeup and synths -- now reads much more like an amusing, entertaining salute from one band to another. "Just Like Heaven" itself is the legendary Cure hit that fully broke them in America; in Dinosaur Jr.'s hands, the synth line is replaced by a J Mascis overdub and the chorus gets gang-shout vocals and death metal riffs, but the song itself survives the transplant perfectly. Mascis' usual vocal style is as idiosyncratic and appropriate as Robert Smith's, and the wistful, nutty vibe of the piece gets even more so at the full band's hands, right down to the sudden, cut-off ending. The other tracks, the brief acoustic/electric zone stomp of "Throw Down" and the surf thrash scream of "Chunks," are fine enough, but it's the lead track that has remained deservedly famous. Smith himself obviously loved it -- he got the band to open a Cure show in Los Angeles in 1992, where they played said cover to a somewhat bemused audience.
