Jul. 9th, 2005 05:17 pmI have a box of 100+ CDs that I want to find a home for. For the most part these aren't friends' brothers' bands or anything; they're all 'real' CDs that I bought at some point, or got as promos and did not immediately stick in the microwave. They tend to be indie rock or indiepop*, with dashes of hip-hop, dance music, singer/songwriter and unlistenable noise-- here's a random sample, with descriptions given to the best of my memory:
Delta Haymax - s/t (mish-mash of Built To Spill, Modest Mouse, et al; apparently devout Christians)
v/a - A Boy, A Girl and a Rendezvous (winsome pop compilation with White Town, Aberdeen, Lucksmiths)
All-Time Quarterback - s/t EP (the guy from Death Cab For Cutie-- actually great, but redundant with their 2002 CD)
P. Hux - Deluxe (I barely remember-- probably a Beatles wannabe)
King Loser - You Cannot Kill What Does Not Live (noisy stoner post-punk from New Zealand)
Violent Green - Eros (freaky ululating indie semi-noise from Pacific Northwest)
Madder Rose - Panic On (sweet and mellow, like a more lively Cowboy Junkies if my memory serves me)
Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments - Bait And Switch (bratty, bitter Ohio rock, lovingly fucked with by Mike "Rep" Hummel)
Death Of Samantha - Come All Ye Faithless (mean late-80s post punk, very earnest but never sincere)
v/a - Subway Hip-Hop vol. 33 (someone's cheap CDR mix, worth hearing at least for Akrobatik's "Internet MCs")
Anna Oxygen - All Your Faded Things (beep beep beep I live in 2004 but I prefer the 80s because they had day-glo robots)
I would love to trade batches of these for just about anything that takes up less space-- books (especially interesting modern philosophers, comics, or poetry), PS2 games, other CDs, clothes for Burning Man... if you took 20 of these and gave me a shiny shirt or dog-eared Wittgenstein, I would be overjoyed.
You should be ready for some amount of serendipity in selecting discs. I'm not even sure how many of these I would recognize if I hadn't heard them already. But if you want to specify "no screaming" or whatever, I can do that.
* I do not know why there's a space in "indie rock" and not in "indiepop", but that is how it is.
