flamy Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I will add the soundtrack to my days here. Look out for the monthly favourites! Danish band I Got You On Tape present a stirring vision of electro-acoustic harmony and song. Listen carefully to the calming, distinctly human lyrics that speak volumes.

flamy Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 Sparklehorse is Mark Linkous, a Virginia native and last of a long line of southern coalminers. Linkous records much of Sparklehorse's material in his home studio, and his Southern Gothic vision guides Sparklehorse. Drummer and multi-instrumentalist Scott Minor is a frequent collaborator.

flamy Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 Song of June! 7q0TUQRt3iw I got to thinking of my sis. This song provided me a nice happy beat to come up with this: you are like the secret of a child big enough to change the world and cute enough to make mommy wild you are half a somersault close enough to flip the world and confused enough to make a thought you are like a pimple on the nose shiny enough to shake the world and silly enough to kiss I suppose you are a train of afterthoughts long enough to lose the world and deep enough to animate ink blots you are like the pillow under my head comfy enough to travel the world and inventive enough to say the unsaid.
maggot_brain Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 There is nothing worse than Coldplay. NOTHING. There's a term for music like that in the UK. It's called 'Bed-wetting Indie'. The best video on Youtube. Ever. cp4pgMOugbo
flamy Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 LOL, Coldplay is not all that bad man! Funkadelic is kool :D hPNIYuDZZpU
maggot_brain Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 LOL, Coldplay is not all that bad man! Funkadelic is kool :D Yes it is. Coldplay is absolutely awful drivel. I can't find word strong enough for my hatred of their music.
flamy Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 Have you listened to Shoegazer? It is native to UK, a kind of run-away child of Brit-Pop. ol787NjpBS4
flamy Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 Holy COW!!!!!!!!!!! That is fecking fantastic bro! Flying Saucer Attack - I hadn't heard of them before. :yay:
maggot_brain Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Holy COW!!!!!!!!!!! That is fecking fantastic bro! Flying Saucer Attack - I hadn't heard of them before. :yay: You can get it - you know where!:winky: I'm old enough to remember when shoegazing was around in the early 90s. I've got Slowdive, Ride, My Bloody Valentine and the like in my collection. Unfortunately there's a lot of music categorised as 'shoegaze' these days which bears no resemblance to shoegaze at all. I wouldn't call Flying Saucer Attack shoegaze at all for example. One of my favourite shoegaze tunes is Slowdive's 'Slowdive' available on the second disc of the 'Just for a day' CD reissue. Allison is good, but 'When The sun hits' is better off Souvlaki.
flamy Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 Interesting. anything with a riff like that is pigeonholed shoegaze by me :D And I think MBV is as far away from Shoegaze as Fergie. Maybe, I'm not really a shoegazer. But, hey who needs genres?

Maybe, I'm not really a shoegazer. But, hey who needs genres? You're kidding? MBV is the quintessential shoegaze band. Loveless is a classic.
maggot_brain Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 If you like that more psychedelic / experimental side of British Indie have a listen to early Verve, Spiritualized and Spacemen 3 cs8pqmXoKpo I can't find any non-live versions the Spiritualized or Spacemen 3 stuff on Youtubr
flamy Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 I'm not :(( I didn't find the same feel I find in Loveless as I do with Slowdive, Mogwai, Mono, Low.. But, almost every shoegazer I talk to mentions them.

But, almost every shoegazer I talk to mentions them. Mono and Mogwai are more 'post-rock'. Shoegzing is more about a 'wall of noise' with ethereal vocals. Most of these teenybopper 'shoegazers' haven't got a clue what they're talking about.
