The third volume in a series I never thought could get this far. This time there's a couple of slight cheats involved, as I've included two fictional characters. For those of you out there playing the home game, Gladys Kravitz was the nosy neighbor in the old Bewitched series, and Erica Kane was (possibly still is) Susan Lucci's character on whatever daytime soap she's on. And yes, I take a small bit of pride in the fact that I don't know which soap.Musically, it hews closely to the previous volumes, meaning lots of pop punk amid quirky indie and even a few noo wave oldies.

NICE! I'd suggest The Hoodoo Gurus' GENE HACKMAN!!
Great suggestions! Already have that Hoodoo Gurus song compiled. Thanks!
Hello! I found your blog while searching for Thelonious Monster. I like a lot of the bands you post here. I am a big fan of You Am I (they are coming back to the USA in September!) Somewhere out there is a song called "Bob Stinson" by the Bomb Pops. I've never been able to find it, but maybe you will succeed where I have failed. Keep up the great compilation posts!
Thanks for the suggestion, jonder - I'll keep an eye out for it. And welcome to the blog!
