Bring back the shoegazers

[Jah Lush]

I can't believe this is 20 years old. I still have the original single.

The Primitives - Crash

[mockney piers]

who said all girl bands can't WROCK eh?

Electrelane - U.O.R.

[louisiana]

Another member of the great Oxford-Reading axis of brilliance.

This one includes the 2.5 minutes intro, as per the album (so much other footage chops it out).

[mockney piers]

Aah, love Ride, saw them at the *ahem* plinston hall in letchworth, many many moons ago.

I've noted before that you're the only other apparent lover of the shoegazing era Louisiana.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I'm pretty sure I saw Ride support the Fatima Mansions at the Charing X Rd incarnation of The Marquee in 1990/92 ish

Fantastic night that was..

[mockney piers]

Not sure what to make of this

Jeff Buckley - I know it's over

[SeanMacGabhann]

was that inspired by something I said in another thread...?

[mockney piers]

perhaps

"I can feel the soil falling over my head", said the Iranian nuclear technician....

[SeanMacGabhann]

That's why he's on his own tonight

[mockney piers]

This is jolly nice Andantino Alla Siciliana

Can anyone else tell I'm killing time 'til I can eff off to Kings Cross for my glass of Pimms on the train up to Cambridge?

55 minutes and counting.....

[Jah Lush]

From '74 believe or not. This still sounds great. Dig those Lionel's.

[Brendan]

They just mentioned the distillers on the radio and reminded me how much I like this song

The Distillers - City of Angels

That should noisy up an otherwise quiet and overcast Wednesday afternoon for you.

Apparently the singer is a Kiwi or Australian or something like that.

I used to listen to this song on my walkman and sing it out loud when I was a kid in the park just up from my house in Empire Bay.. I particularly loved the line about the vegemite sandwich..I recently introduced Mrs Strawbs (Jaws) to it and she thought it was quite funny..

sorry no song to contribute as I am blocked to all sites at work.. :(

[Brendan]

it's about New Zealand isn't it?

does that work??

[Brendan]

Hope someone out there appreciates this. These guys are a bit difficult to find. I had a 6 month wait to get one of their albums.

the odd numbers

Got to have a bit of Arthur Lee & Love up on here. Been meaning to put this up for a while. Enjoy.

Love - Alone Again Or

[macroban]

The transmutation from Maclean's original "Alone Again Or" to the Love cover on "Forever Changes" is probably due to David Angel who did the orchestral arrangement.

[citizenED]

Feeling perky?

rip it up - orange juice

twangy guitar par excellence!

I bought the excellent Love Story on DVD at the weekend, and would highly recommend it to anybody with an interest in the band, or the sixties LA scene in general.. Interviews with pretty much the whole band, and lots of light shed on how it all went wrong after the sheer genius of Forever Changes.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Good call citizenED

Did anyone see Edwyn perform backstage on BBC's Glastonbury coverage. Apart from the hell the man has been through in recent years, what a lovely song!

[citizenED]

Missed it Sean. Heard his album of last year(?) was pretty good.

[mockney piers]

talked about the album a while back, chance for a quick double bill
