This review is from: It Crawled From the Basement: The Green Monkey Records Anthology (Audio CD)

If your looking for the original version of "Kim the Waitress" by the Green Pajamas, you have come to the right place. There are also a couple of previously unreleased PJ's tracks here & another of my favs "Peppermint Stick."
You may not have heard of many of the other bands on this massive 2 cd collection, but they are no less important than the ones you have heard. I grew up in Seattle & I couldn't believe this was happenning in my own backyard. It was an incestuous music scene & the ones you have heard of were also involved with the ones you haven't heard of. On any given weekend in Seattle, in the 80's, you could see & hear any number of great musicians & some of them are on "It Crawled From The Basement." The Life, The Walkabouts, The Green Pajamas, Slam Suzzane, The Fastbacks, Capping Day & Joey Kline's Prudence Dredge are only a few of the bands I would pay my hard earned cash to see. The music & the talent do the talking here & all things were possible. Try some of the samples above.
Having lived through this vital & creative time of Seattle's music scene, this compilation is a must for anyone who is curious about what made it magic. This is a piece of that scene before the world saw the town as grunge. It's never sounded better!
