Saturday, January 14th, 2017Shoegazer Sunday: SPOOL’s “Sway, Fadeaway”
Sunday, January 1st, 2017It’s been too long since we did an obscure Japanese band for our Sunday dose of Shoegaze, so enjoy SPOOL’s “Sway, Fadeaway.”
Shoegazer Sunday: Stellarscope’s “Silent Night”
Sunday, December 25th, 2016Keeping with last week’s Christmas Shoegaze theme, here’s Stellarscope’s “Silent Night,” half the Christmas classic, and half that Husker Du cover of “Eight Miles High.”
Yes Inducted Into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Wednesday, December 21st, 2016So the latest list of Rock and Hall of Fame inductees has been announced, and in addition to recognizing the edgy hard-rock shredding of Joan Baez, they inducted Pearl Jam, Journey, ELO and personal favorite Yes, which I listened to a lot of in high school and college (along with Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, etc.).
In celebration, here’s “Starship Trooper” accompanied by a montage of eye candy, including some of the Roger Dean variety.

Behold the Shatner!
For those with low Shatner thresholds, the advice is:
If you’re going to fry a turkey, this is pretty sound advice.
Live Action Ghost in the Shell Trailer Drops
Monday, November 14th, 2016I was pleasantly surprised to get to the end of the trailer and not automatically think “Boy, this is going to suck.”
It might still suck, but it looks like they’re making a good-faith effort to capture the postcyberpunk vibe at the heart of the franchise. Never mind that I’m a much bigger fan of GitS:SAC than I am of the original movies, and that the movie leans much more heavily on the latter. (“No Tachikomas for you!”)
Mood: Cautious optimism.
Shoegazer Sunday: Japanese babY
Sunday, November 13th, 2016Japanese babY [CIC] hails from Krasnodar, Russia. Here they are with a live version of “Твое солнце.” No, I don’t know how to pronounce that. The sound’s a little raw, as you might expect from a live club recording, but the riffs are tasty.
(Note: The old version died, so I found another, and I don’t think the sound quality is as good.)
Influences seem to be Jesus and Mary Chain, Sigur Ros, and maybe just a tiny hint of Laibach.
