Shoegazer Sunday: Manon Meurt’s “To Forget”
Sunday, February 22nd, 2015Tuvan Throat-Singing Cover of “In A Gadda Da Vida”
Tuesday, February 17th, 2015Really, who hasn’t longed to hear a Tuvan throat-singing cover of Iron Butterfly’s “In A Gadda Da Vida”? Now thanks to Yat Kha, that dream has finally come true:
Sadly, the 15 minute instrumental break in the middle of the song has been omitted, I’m assuming for space constraints. Still, I’m sure Dwight will be thrilled….

Shoegazer Sunday: Jeniferever’s “The Sound of Beating Wings”
Sunday, February 8th, 2015This is pretty swell considering the lead singer can’t really sing. If this band was fronted by a top-notch singer like Rachel Goswell or Hope Sandoval, it would be unbelievably awesome.
Shoegazer Sunday: Ulrich Schnauss’ “Clear Day”
Sunday, February 1st, 2015Ulrich Schnauss seems to have played with half the people in Shoegazerdom, from Mojave 3 to Asobi Seksu. Here’s “Clear Day” from one of his solo works, which sounds a bit like Malory.
Shoegazer Sunday: Creepoid’s “Yellow Wallpaper”
Sunday, January 25th, 2015Creepoid hails from Philadelphia. I’m guessing this song is based on the Charlotte Perkins Gilman story of the same name.
It’s been a busy week, so that’s all the context you’re gonna get…
“Sweet Child O’ Mine” Covered Dixieland Style
Saturday, January 24th, 2015It brought a smile to my face, which is enough to merit a quick and lazy Saturday link.
Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive’s “Silver Screen”
Sunday, January 18th, 2015Yes, it’s another song from Slowdive’s great lost album. You got a problem with that?
Expect a bit more blog activity this week…
Shoegazer Sunday: Jellybelly’s “Illusion Dreams”
Sunday, January 11th, 2015Here’s another bite of Indonesian shoegaze band Jellybelly:
And is it just me, or do the intro chords to “Illusion Dreams” sound an awful lot like a down-tuned version of Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer”?
It’s a pleasant piece, though the female harmonies need a little work…
Shoegazer Sunday: Seasurfer’s “Waves”
Sunday, January 4th, 2015And here’s yet another track from St. Marie Records Static Waves 3 compilation, Seasurfer’s “Waves” (which is not a cover of Slowdive’s “Waves”):
Shoegazer Sunday: Scarlet Youth Cover’s Slowdive’s “Primal
Sunday, December 14th, 2014I said the fastest way for a band to get featured her is to do a credible cover of Slowdive’s “Primal,” and Scarlet Youth has picked up the gauntlet. It’s not a great cover of “Primal,” but it’s a credible one, so here it is.
It’s off of this compilation album that’s entirely Slowdive covers. Echodrone? SPC ECO? 42 songs for $9.99?
Saint Marie Records is obviously very much on my wavelength…
