Amazon.comFor the turntable-challenged, Kill Rock Stars has released this diverse collection of cuts off various singles the label released between 1991 and 1994. This predominantly Northwest-flavored comp starts quietly with Elliott Smith's "Some Song," then rages to a close with Unwound's "Hating in 'D'." In between are strong cuts from Bikini Kill, Heavens to Betsy, Pee-Chees, Team Dresch, and several others. What separates this from so many other mediocre compilations flooding the market is that it highlights the best song from each single, sort of like an indie rock version of one of those '70s and '80s K-Tel "best-ofs." Outside this comp, however, most of these songs can only be found on the original Kill Rock Stars singles. --Adem Tepedelen
