We hate it when bloggers pull that "we've been so busy of late that we simply haven't had time to post" schtick. But we've been so busy of late that we simply haven't had time to post schtick. So we'll simply lay down these tracks and let you evaluate. All of them are freely available, even the ones that say "buy" and/or "share."***
***Sometimes you "have to" download the whole LP on a "name-your-price" basis, a small price to pay indeed. Guess that's all for now. We've got plenty more and hope not to be too busy sooner or later.
Well, guess what: we've been enjoying "Twisted And Clover" so much of late, we're just gonna go cuckoo and post it again. That's right, born to be wild.
The excellent shoegaze blog When The Sun Hits has released two compilations, both available for free downloading at Bandcamp. A third is due to drop tomorrow. Here are a couple of poppier items that caught our ears. Many thanks to Amber and Danny for making them available.
WTSH teased us with a promise of more information about Famous, and we're confident we're gonna get it.
You may remember (no penalty if you don't) our recent effusions over Mobile, Alabama gazers The Sunshine Factory? Well, we just noticed over at the last.fm Shoegaze group page that the band have posted their entire LP Sugar for free download. How sad were we that we had already spent some of our hard-earned for some of the LP? Not a whit because we were thinking of you and the fiscally friendly fun you were about to have. (Yeah, we know, "Awwwwwww, pp, ya softie ya," etc., etc.) Here's our favorite, to give you another taste. You take it from there (or here).
We recently pointed you toward the excellent blog The Decibel Tolls for an excellent song by excellent Mobile, Alabama shoegazers The Sunshine Factory and then strolled off and bought some for our ownselves. While poking around last weekend at the excellent blog NW Shoegazing, we found an excellent interview with the band, plus directions to a wealth of Bandcamperie and other fulfilling items. We've posted here for your sampling pleasure two songs from their first LP, Vintage Revolution. You can download both by clicking below and get the rest of the album for free at Bandcamp. You will probably notice that "Daisies" is more poppy than gazy, although "Roving Eye" has you staring floorward pretty authentically. The other links below will put you in touch with their most recent LP, Sugar, and a live version thereof. Have we used the word "excellent" too frequently in this post? Nnnno.
