Shoegazer Sunday: Kuuhaku Marinus Covers Slowdive’s “Machine Gun”

Sunday, February 28th, 2021

I have no idea who Kuuhaku Marinus is, though he seems to reside in Mexico and his ideogram (空白磨理成) seems to translate as “Blank Grid.”

Here’s a pleasant cover of Slowdive’s “Machine Gun”:

Sunday, August 23rd, 2020

Enjoy yet another cover of Slowdive’s Catch The Breeze, this one from Canadian shoegazer outfit The City Gates with guest Krissy Vanderwoude:

This is off an all-digital compilation homage of Slowdive covers called Just For A Life, which I’ll have to listen to more of…

Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive Sleep Mix

Sunday, October 27th, 2019

Someone took a lot of obscure/unreleased Slowdive songs, put them together and made them even more echoey/dreamy.

Shoegazer Sunday: The Soft Cavalry’s “Dive”

Sunday, April 28th, 2019

Another Rachel Goswell side project. Really more Shoegaze tinged retro ambient lounge, maybe somewhere between Malory and Echodrone at their softest.

When in doubt, post a Slowdive cover…

Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive’s “No Longer Making Time” Live in Asheville, NC

Sunday, May 6th, 2018

Slowdive put on a great show at Stubb’s on April 28. One of the surprising things about it was how much of a rocker “No Longer Making Time” is live. There doesn’t appear to be a good video of that available online, so here’s a pretty good version from their Asheville, NC on November 17, 2017.

Note: There’s a little glitch at the end, where it looks like the person recording the video forgot there’s a little coda at the end of the song and turned their cell phone video off for a few seconds…

Shoegazer Sunday: A Four Song Slowdive Live Set

Sunday, April 22nd, 2018

In celebration of Slowdive playing Austin next week, here’s a four song live set including:

  • Slomo
  • Star Roving
  • Crazy For You
  • Sugar For The Pill
  • The Sunday dose of Shoegaze got put aside while I was doing my taxes, but now that’s done, I hope to catch up on a few things.

    Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive performing “No Longer Making Time” live on KCRW

    Sunday, July 23rd, 2017

    Yeah, another live Slowdive song. I’ve been busy with a new dog, so I haven’t had a chance to go trawling for new shoegaze bands.

    Hat tip to Andrew Wimsatt for alerting me to this.

    Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive’s “Slomo” and “Catch the Breeze” Live

    Sunday, May 21st, 2017

    I’ve been on a Slowdive kick since I heard the new album has coming out, and it way exceeded my expectations for it.

    Here’s a live performance for Pitchfork that features both new and old songs, including “Slomo,” “Catch the Breeze” “Slowdive,” “Star Roving” and “Avalyn.” For some reason the music doesn’t actually start until 7:15 into the video.

    just (iTunes)

    dropped (Amazon).

    Buy it.

    Here’s a live version of “No Longer Making Time,” one of the new tracks:

    The studio version is even prettier.

    BUY!

    IT!

    I’m watching new episodes of MST3K and listening to a new Slowdive album. I’ve obviously died and gone to 1990s Heaven…
