Starting to get into more Shoegaze and it is very quickly becoming one of my favorite genres for late-night listening! I have heard Loveless, Souvlaki (my favorite), Ferment by Catherine Wheel, and Whirlpool by Chapterhouse.

I got interested in listening to more shoegaze after the n&g rotm announcement the other day. I googled shoegaze and found a top ten list that started with Chapterhouse and I've been listening to Whirlpool a bunch this week. Ride and Slowdive haven't really clicked with me but this gets that Jesus and Mary Chain itch I didn't know I really needed to scratch.

I liked a handful of songs from Loveless and Souvlaki. Love Ferment, and the followup album Chrome is awesome too. Not familiar with Chapterhouse so I'll have to give them a listen.
 
Weekend just dropped a collection of bootlegs to celebrate 10 years of SPORTS and raise money for the SF Aids Foundation. Buy today for Bandcamp Day so all 100% goes directly to the cause!

 


I just scored a good used copy of this off Ebay. I can't believe I got it. There we're only 3 bidders including me. Only two bids made before mine. I sniped it during the last 5 seconds which I always do. I went and bid almost 20 above the previous amount and I ended up winning by one dollar higher than the last bid!

The album is really really rare (Pre-Mazzy Star) and I guess still unknown to a majority. I only found out about the band from reading old music articles and blogs plus some members were part of the Paisley scene and The Dream Syndicate.
 
Ran across this band last week on a recommendation from a co-worker called Ghost Woman. They are from Lethbridge, Alberta (just south of Calgary), and their new album "Anne, If" is absolutely top-to-bottom excellent.

For fans of "Innerspeaker" era Tame Impala, lots of jangly guitars, reverbed vocals. Has a bit of a grittier CCR vibe at times.



 
A once-lost record by Disappears, Steve Shelley, and White/Light resurfaced on digital last year and has now been given a 2xLP pressing, limited to 350 copies. Bandcamp exclusive.

In the summer of 2009, Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley and the band’s long time sound engineer, Jeremy Lemos, invited Lemos’ White/Light bandmate Matt Clark and Chicago spacepunx Disappears to come over to Lemos’ Semaphore Recording studio and jam. Their one-afternoon, two-drummers, three-guitarists, no-rules jam evolved into a productive and glorious multi-day freakout, which resulted in the recording of these eight songs. Producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen) later mixed the marathon session with Steve and Jeremy at Echo Canyon West in Hoboken, NJ.

And then… the record disappeared. Sonic Youth went on hiatus, Shelley briefly joined Disappears, Disappears broke up and then evolved into FACS; plans to release the album on Shelley’s Vampire Blues were scuttled and eventually shelved. In the quarantine days of spring of 2020, more than a decade later, Shelley started blowing the dust off old masters he’d had planned for his label over the years, and here we are. An Exclusive to Bandcamp. Rip it up.

The Walkmen just updated their store with items they “found” in the warehouse. Just picked up Everyone Who Pretended on vinyl for $30 shipped. I’ve been hunting that one for a decent price for years.
