Honestly, the only thing I know about Jesus on Heroine is that they have a Facebook page. Here’s the slightly differently spelled “Jesus on Heroin.” It’s probably best I didn’t play this on easter Sunday…

Shoegazer Sunday: Jesus on Heroine’s “Jesus on Heroin”
Sunday, May 11th, 2014Mousetrap Madness
Tuesday, April 29th, 2014Back in the dim mists of time, they used to demonstrate the speed of atomic chain reactions with arrays of mousetraps. Now someone has done the same experiment, with the added benefit of a high speed camera:
Shoegazer Sunday: Mercury Rev’s “You’re My Queen”
Sunday, April 27th, 2014Mercury Rev is an American ban that got dubbed Shoegaze early on, then evolved in a more pop direction. “You’re My Queen” is actually one of their more pop numbers, but I think it fits nicely into the shoegaze category somewhere between Black Tambourine and Polyphonic Spree.
Shoegazer Sunday: Spokraket’s “Just Go Spit Out Another Lie”
Sunday, April 20th, 2014Danish band Spokraket offers garage band psychedelic surf rock married to Here Come the Warm Jets-era Brain Eno, offering plenty of distorted guitars and end up sounding like a low-fi version of Black Tambourine. “Just Go Spit Out Another Lie” is pretty much a steady state Shoegaze song: Like the riff and groove? Just wait around and there will be plenty more of it coming down the pike…
And here’s an earlier live version of it, when it was called “(Drifting Away In) Solitary Dreams”
Another Insane Lego Ball Machine
Friday, April 18th, 2014A while back I featured this Lego ball machine from Japan.

Shoegazer Sunday: Lights That Change’s “Beautiful Soul”
Sunday, April 13th, 2014Lights That Change is a neo-Shoegaze band out of the UK. With “Beautiful Soul” they offer up a bright, gauzy, floating slab of prettiness with some great female vocals.
Sadly, it seems that vocalist Lisa VonH has already split with the band.
Mike Judge Has A New TV Show: Silicon Valley
Wednesday, April 9th, 2014The creator of Office Space, Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill has a new (live action) TV show on HBO called Silicon Valley.
The first episode is up free:
I’ve seen about half of it. It’s reasonably funny, but some of the geek characters are a bit too cliched…
Swell Documentary on the Making of Paul Simon’s Graceland
Thursday, April 3rd, 2014Dwight’s linking of this piece on accordions got me listening to my favorite album featuring accordions, Paul Simon’s Graceland, one of the all time great albums. I was vaguely aware that a 25th Anniversary edition had come out, and poking around online I find that a documentary on the album had come out last year, all of which is available online.
If you like the album, ths documentary is well worth your time.
Shoegazer Sunday: Center of the Sun’s “Home”
Sunday, March 30th, 2014There’s still some Sunday left, so here’s Center of the Sun again with “Home”.
Hayajan Covers Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” in Arabic
Monday, March 24th, 2014It’s taking me some time to catalog those signed Jack Vance book and do my taxes, so here’s a musical oddity: a Jordanian band covering Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” in Arabic. Enjoy!
