90z indiofilez volume 1

This is the product of my spring-break slacking. This playlist has been growing for a long time, but I really put it together and made yea/nay decisions this week. Indie from the early 90s. Some is clearly influenced by the Stones (Royal Trux), some draws from the Beatles ("Hey Aardvark"). In places psychedelic (Mercury Rev), in others grungy (Grifters, Some Velvet Sidewalk, "Weedking"). Sometimes recorded well (Built to Spill, The Afghan Whigs), sometimes fuzzed out (Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, "Backwash"). The mix is primarily focused on the quirky slack of the underachieving musicians from the early 90s; I took pains to exclude shoegaze and hardcore/metal tracks.
