Description
This is the second in a series of indie pop compilations that I have made around the time of my birthday since 2002. This has always been one of my favorites. It features indie pop from the early 2000s and some picks that reach further back. Among other things, it has the best indie pop song ever written about soccer (about U.S. goalie Kasey Keller); one of the very few pop songs to name check my hometown of Detroit; an obscure cover of my favorite Thompson Twins song; great Spanish indie pop and German indietronica; the best New Order B-side; seminal songs from The Moles and Camera Obscura…
Artists include Le Mans, Stars, Moles, Barcelona, Sportsguitar, Lilys, Camera Obscura, +/-, Ciao Bella, Sam Prekop, High Llamas, Lali Puna, Future Bible Heroes, Mus, New Order, Eaves, Toulouse, and Ms. John Soda.
