Shoegazer Sunday: Luke Reed’s “I’m Dreaming”

Sunday, December 16th, 2018

This is a pleasant enough dreampop song, but I’m posting it hear mainly because of how perfectly it mimics a certain strain of pop music circa 1984-85. You could slip this right between the Psychedelic Furs and Echo and the Bunnymen…

Sunday, May 6th, 2018

Slowdive put on a great show at Stubb’s on April 28. One of the surprising things about it was how much of a rocker “No Longer Making Time” is live. There doesn’t appear to be a good video of that available online, so here’s a pretty good version from their Asheville, NC on November 17, 2017.

Note: There’s a little glitch at the end, where it looks like the person recording the video forgot there’s a little coda at the end of the song and turned their cell phone video off for a few seconds…
