   I can't help you find the song, as as this post is 13 years old, you may   
   already have found it.  But I can provide some insight, as I have this   
   compilation.  Back in '94 or so, I was on CompuServe (remember them?),   
   haunting the music forums, and found    
   this guy offering to send his microlabel compilation for free.  So I requested   
   one and was delightfully surprised--it was a surprisingly great collection of   
   power-pop with a few detours ("Sweet Charlotte" could be an old U2 song).  The   
   Glistening's song    
   was excellent.  The microlabel was Galt Records, and the guy who ran it was   
   named Walter Sczesny.  I'm sure the label is defunct, but it was great stuff.    
   Only band on there I actually saw a CD from was All About Chad, whose snotty   
   kiss-off "Here I Am"    
   was a highlight.  If you're still following this thread, I'd be happy to burn   
   you a copy.
