If there’s a common theme among the last two day’s posts, it’s not just who the hell is Egbert Records (really, I Googled) but the appearance on both tribute releases by Material Issue. Trouser Press noted “…at its best, Material Issue was responsible for some of the ’90s’ juiciest Big Star/Cheap Trick-style power pop at a time when it was well out of fashion. . . ‘Freak City Soundtrack’ is an unqualified triumph.” And they’re right on both accounts. (Play LOUD.)
Material Issue – Goin’ Through Your Purse (Mp3)
Material Issue – Kim The Waitress (Mp3)
Material Issue – I Could Use You (Mp3)
