In order to provide a break from the relentless book cataloging, here’s a fun acoustic cover of Nine Inch Nail’s Closer by Hana Maria (who seems to record under the name Hana Piranha). Song is NSFW, just like the original.

Wednesday, August 10th, 2016Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive’s “Slowdive (Purple Drank Shadows Remix)”
Sunday, August 7th, 2016Been too busy with work, cataloging books, attending Armadillocon, etc., to seek out Sunday Shoegaze offerings. To make amends here’s a Slowdive remix named after the most ghetto of drinks and slowed down enough for the tempo to work as Slowcore or Doom Metal.
Shoegazer Sunday: Cranes’ “Jewel”
Sunday, July 10th, 2016I would have thought I put up Cranes’ “Jewel” long ago in my Shoegazer Sunday series, but I do not appear to have done so, so here are two versions: a music video version that seems a bit flashier, and the more-stripped down album version.

“Shoegaze Band’s Pedalboard Becomes Self-Aware”
Saturday, June 18th, 2016Heh. I missed this from last year:
Local shoegaze rockers and engineering hobbyists, Whale Coma, accidentally created the world’s first artificially intelligent band member when their pedalboard became self-aware Sunday night.
Guitarist Connor O’Hoolihan excitedly connected yet another pedal to the now-conscious tangle of cords the band has affectionately dubbed “SkyPed,” a functioning life form of questionable intent and motivation that has begun to formulate rudimentary yet coherent speech through O’Hoolihan’s Electro-Harmony-Vocal Synthesizer Pedal.
“I told him not to add a Rat Stink Fuzzy Big Muff™ when he’s already running two Fat Boy Moose Knuckles™ and a Red Bitch Psycho Trem™,” said Willy Bennett Dyson, the band’s third guitarist. “We’re playing with something we don’t fully understand.”
Shoegazer Sunday: Pastel Blue’s “Low-Key”
Sunday, June 12th, 2016It’s been three years since I did a song from Japan’s Pastel Blue as the Sunday Shoegazer selection, so here’s “Low-Key”:
Shoegazer Sunday: Catherine Wheel’s “Crank”
Sunday, June 5th, 2016I’ve tried sampling classic shoegaze band Catherine Wheel before, but until “Crank” nothing stuck.
Note: I believe this video exceeds the official limit of how many people may fit in this particular elevator safely…
Shoegazer Sunday: Star Horse’s “Stranger”
Sunday, May 29th, 2016For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s “Stranger” from Stockholm-based Star Horse. Evidently today’s post is brought to you by the letter “S”…
Shoegazer Sunday: Catch The Breeze’s “The Shallow Bed”
Sunday, May 22nd, 2016A shoegaze band named after the first Slowdive song I ever heard? How can I resist?
Brian Jonestown Massacre’s “She’s Gone”
Sunday, May 15th, 2016I consider Brain Jonestown Massacre more of a psych than Shoegaze band, but this is the final song they played at their set with Slowdive in Austin, and that’s good enough for me.
