[Music] Shoegaze Tuesdays

[chaileyjem]

So - an almost complete post 1988 return to streaming for MBV. Still a few gaps (weatherall version of Soon anyone ? ) and shame that none of the pre 1988 output (patchy but fascinating and a couple of terrific singles/EPs) is not there.

So. To summarise:

Today is Goodbye Shoegaze Tuesday.

(excelente name for a song BTW )

Anyway, last thing at night, before heading off to bed, I asked what they both thought of Teenage Filmstars (Ed Ball ex TV Personalities, The Times etc). Neither of them had heard anything so I played the Star LP which is... well, let's just say Bilinda commented "we would sue for royalties if he wasn't such a nice bloke!"

I've always wondered how School of Seven Bells got away with this…

Had some disagreements with Mrs T about APTBS. I think their sound is interesting. She says 'Jesus and Mary Chain soundalikeees'. I am not a JAMC fan. But I'm very fond of APTBS. You decide.

No new MBV album then.

Not yet anyway. But of course, don’t hold your breath!

Little known American band of wondrous delight.

I think there can only be one winner in the "sound more like MBV that MBV" category. Peel Dream Magazine take a bow. Ace track from last year.
