one last thing to note: messthetics is split into two series, #x or #10x. in the single digit series each album is grouped alphabetically by band, while in the #10x series each album is grouped by region. theres some overlap between them but theyre all certainly worth downloading!

Various Artists - Messthetics #3 UK D.I.Y./post-punk Ti-to-U: 1978-82

Hello everyone. Sorry about the lack of posting. I've decided to make up for it by posting the rest of Messthetics today. For those who don't know what Messthetics is: Messthetics is basically the most comprehensive anthology of underground British music from the late 70's to early 80's. With it's American counterpart, Homework (also on this blog) they offer an amazing look into the period. There's really something for everyone, even if you feel as though you've heard it all.

hope you enjoy!

And here we are, the last volume for now. I may try and find whatever other Homework comps I'm missing in the future. And I'll be sure to post the rest of Messthetics here in the days to come. I hope you enjoy all of these as much as I have!

I wanna read books about sex and smut
But dad says I gotta do my homework
I wanna take the car out on Friday night
But mom says I gotta do my homework

Various Artists - Homework #102 U.S. "D.I.Y." and postpunk 1977-86: S&T

Just to add to the naming confusion. Volume #102 has totally different tracks than Volume #2 which I posted a few days ago.

Various Artists - Homework #9 US D.I.Y./punkwave/post-punk: A, B, & C LP cuts+

Really the only gripe I have with these compilations is the weird numbering scheme, I ordered the 7 volume pack and they sent me: #101, #102, #103, #104, #105, #9, and #10. And there's not really any consistency in the titles either. But the music's great at least!
