The 1 Hundred Various - Everything is Nice


Various - Everything is Nice : The Matador 10th Anniversary Anthology (Matador 1999) // Used CD

When Matador turned the big one-oh, which was eighteen years ago, they put out this excellent 3CD compilation with two discs of "greatest hits" and one of unreleased tracks. It now serves as a great time capsule for a decade that saw the rise of Pavement, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Cat Power, Modest Mouse, Bardo Pond, Sleater-Kinney, Yo La Tengo, Mogwai and many many others you may not have yet discovered. The bang/buck ratio is remarkable.
