One of the best compilations of 1990s Aussie indie that I've found, this 1997 release from Brisbane community station 4ZZZ is studded with gems. Aside from the obvious domestics (Magic Dirt, iNsuRge, Regurgitator, Spiderbait, Clouds, Dirty Three, The Fauves, etc.) there are a few international alternative anthems on board (e.g. Lush's 'Ladykillers' and Butthole Surfer's 'Pepper') and some more obscure Brisbane locals (e.g. Small Fantasy's very cute 'DSS' and the jangly almost-emo of Turnpike's 'Straight to Video').
Even my girlfriend likes it. Enjoy on a hot sunny day.
