Various Artists, Ragazza Pop (DOWNLOAD)
Earlier this summer, Mirah released a 7" on Mississippi Records. The a-side, "Don't!" just happened to be one of my favorite Mirah songs. A sixties girl group inspired number with a pounding piano and backing vocals from The Blow's Khaela Maricich. "Don't!" was featured on Modern Radio's Mirah rarities collection, The Old Days Feeling, but first appeared on Ragazza Pop, an amazing pop compilation with contributions from Mirah, Moe Tucker, The Shermans, and more.
Initially released in 2003, the comp is certainly old news, but if you missed it the first time around, it's certainly worth hearing. If you're a fan of "Don't!" you can pick the newly pressed 7" up for $6 at the K Records online shop.

Thanks for posting this! This is new to me, but I love what I've heard so far, esp. The Shermans! I tried looking online for some Shermans to try, but I couldn't find any. Do you know where I could find them?
Awesome! The Shermans are great. I did some quick digging online & the blog Area 51 del Corazon has a couple of their releases up for download. They have In Technicolor (full length album) and Falling Out of Love (EP), I'm pretty sure the download links for both are still active. If you like what you hear, you can get a few of their releases on CD from Shelflife (the out of print ones can still be purchased on mp3.)
I'm really excited to listen to this, thanks K.!
