Various – International P.E.A.C.E. Benefit Compilation

I don't know what horrible thing I did to deserve getting stuck with someone's PEACE comp-- it was making the rounds to everyone who wanted to tape it, and apparently made my record collection its final parking place-- so that 36 years later I'd have to endure listening to the whole exhausting thing in order to give it a rating for my discogs; but it took me four hours to stream because I had to stop so often to replay a few I loved, and have a variety of tirades about most of the rest.

Somewhere about halfway through I read a lukewarm review and was glad to see I'm not the only one who finds this comp a bit repetitive, inconsistent, or a bit too much. I was wtf'ing quite a bit when I read about New Red tacking their own catalogue sampler of Anti-Flag, UK Subs, etc onto an already complete project from a different time and made for a greater purpose than *advertising items for sale*. That is shameful, tacky and disrespectful.

By the time I had only 3 tracks left, I was just so glad to be almost done, all I cared about was leaving the thing on a good band. MDC, great! That'll be my reward! But no, after the spoken word from S Africa moved me to tears, something else started playing. There they were, 5 unrelated tracks freeloading on the PEACE comp. I looked up and down 59 tracks, then up and down more slowly again. No MDC at all, just gone, erased from the PEACE comp that wouldn't even exist if it weren't for Dave/MDC. I feel cheated, i didn't get my dose of smart and funny to counteract Barely Human supplying the end of side 4 with some of the stupidest lyrics I've ever heard-- and I've heard Gis(m), on side 1. Guess the New Red bands were more important. Than MDC.

It's pretty obvious what happened, isn't it. Charlie Harper is 76 years old, and still, I LOST MY LOVE TO A UK SUB!
