Shoegazer Sunday: Echodrone’s Cover of Husker Du’s “Celebrated Summer”
Sunday, January 28th, 2018I was thinking about putting up something from Echodrone’s new album, but I stumbled across their cover of “Celebrated Summer” by Husker Du (a band never, ever, ever associated with Shoegaze). This is a case where the cover is much better than the original.
Plus old home movies have a certain fascination to them.
Also, bitrot seems to have have removed two of my favorite Echodrone songs from previous Shoegazer Sunday entries, so here are “Under an Impressive Sky”:
And “Gravity”:
The original version used clips from Memoirs of a Giesha, which is probably why it’s not online anymore…

Dolores O’Riordan, RIP
Monday, January 15th, 2018Just heard the news that Dolores O’Riordan, the lead singer for The Cranberries, has just died at the untimely age of 46.
There were most famous for “Zombie” and a few other hits, but my favorite song of theirs has always been the melancholy “Daffodil Lament.” Here’s a live version.
