Just bought 'Counter Culture 2005' - Rough Trade Shops retrospective for last year.

Only halfway through disc one but already heard some rather ace stuff. Liking the Spinto Band, Serena Manesh, and Six Organs of Admittance.

Buying these things is dangerous - I might have only paid £10 for this cd but i'll probably end up buying about another ten albums off the back of it.

Who else <3's Rough Trade Compilations?

and why weren't there any last year?
