NikkolasKing posted:Well that's why I asked if this was the right thread . Listening to those songs they're pretty good but not quite the same kind of music I was thinking of. I didn't post a song from the first Cocteau's album, which is pretty gothy sounding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRQnM1Lv9V0 for newer poo poo, I guess you could do what I do and try digging through bandcamp if you haven't already. I follow this lady on there and sift through the stuff she buys occasionally. https://bandcamp.com/scaryladysarah also, these guys who are my favorite thing going right now, I think I already posted this but what evs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjBo82hQXFA

the comeback album for the most part sounds like a bunch of crap that got edited together out of old stuff that wasn't good to enough to put on a record. and I suspect that is exactly what is.

Been on a deep dive into Slowdive and all things shoegaze after youtube led me in that direction from my beloved Cocteau Twins, holy poo poo there is a lot. Found this article here: https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/9966-the-50-best-shoegaze-albums-of-all-time/ Now will go back and read the thread. Hi.

I'd love to see what they've written abou- quote:Loveless is the defining statement of shoegaze because it discovered, in layered guitar sounds and submerged singing, a language that serenely overwhelms as it distills the universal human experience. ...What does that even mean?

Loveless sounds a lot better if you crank the bass up. I normally never mess with EQs but the slinky bass line in "Soon" deserves to be front and center, not buried in the mix. Sorry Kevin

Took a look out of curiosity and it didn't imply that. He actually says that he's going to ask Toni if she's changed her mind (about her quitting in 2005). Most bands pretty much do consider themselves to be in existence as long as all the members are still alive, though. Laika have been on recording hiatus since 2003 (with an album incomplete) and still occasionally update their website. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcollsIir80

if you post in here there's a good chance you know the 4AD record label. and if you know 4AD you know Vaughan Oliver, the artist who designed a ton of record covers for the label.   https://twitter.com/evjanderson/status/1211376336612265984

Knowing Lush got hosed over for the same reasons that ultimately messed over the Smashing Pumpkins, i.e. writing credits being accredited in a lopsided fashion that affects royalties, sucks. Lush is absolutely my favorite band ever. I still think of "Lit Up" as the ultimate song to explain my relationship with my mother and keeping her going through her depressive episodes.

More bands should have done what REM did, early on they just said "we're putting all our names equally on every song no matter who wrote it" to avoid that poo poo

Phil had always resented not getting writing credit. when Lush was going to play 2 Coachella shows, Miki's immigration paper work got delayed because she had an old drunk driving charge which she forgot to mention. they ended up missing one of the shows, so the rather large payout they were going to get got cut in half. pissed off everyone else in the band and I guess that was the last straw for Phil.

Sorry Kevin I have been continuing my listen to shoegaze thing and am deeply hooked by Loveless, it is so evenly amazing to me. Soon in particular is getting repeated listens; I am in awe of this song and they way it plays with tension. OTOH Ride, which I also really like, sounds more like Britpop with a few flanger pedals in comparison. I really think MBV are heads and shoulders above the rest in what they were doing.

there were a number of good covers on the eps, not terribly shoey though. Miki has fine taste in music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnH8ugbaI5I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8w14IaS8Us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nG0V5UFb9w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEJSe8vutnM

Speaking of Lush, I recently stumbled upon Dead Horse One and their new album The West Is The Best. There are definitely notes of Lush and Ride in many of the tracks, probably because Mark Gardener produced the album. https://deadhorseone1.bandcamp.com/album/the-west-is-the-best https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcUm9giz5Yc

Was a lovely day out, and decided to stop by my local record store (embarrassing how long its been actually). Among my purchases was Slowdive's Just for a Day. Holy hell is this ever good e. got captured by this song (track two) and then they kept coming and getting better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-nm9XDN8iw Bilirubin fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Feb 17, 2020 |

Driving between campuses listening to our campus radio station, this came on and I was like holy hell, turn it up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKrw5wOlSng I know I have commented on how Ride is "Brit pop with flanger pedals" before, and I'm not stepping away from this so much, but I have to acknowledge this tune as good. Got a kind of Moody Blues sound going. Love the energy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDAFl2tOqj4 The drummer is an absolute star
