If one was to try and compile an album of lost cuts from the original shoegaze era what would be included? I'm thinking along the lines of the Pebbles and Rubble series. Not the stuff that Creation or Dedicated et al released as those labels were kind of the big fish of the scene - able to get their...

I reckon Siberia is the best Bunnymen post '87 lp. Evergreen is great but has some lulls. Siberia keeps the hip.

I think the one i enjoyed the most was the Sex Pistols in 1996.
Closely followed by Black Sabbath 2012.
The list of dreadful sets I've seen by reformed bands includes The Only Ones and That Petrol Emotion.

The fact that you are new to this band Where did i say i was new to the Elevators? I am new to that session - i think every one is. The first Elevators lps i brought were the Decal reissues in the late 80s - when i was 18/19. Perhaps it is becsue i am so familiar with them that their status as THE ...

Hopefully it won't become an over and incorrectly used label though. errr... i think the horse has bolted on that one! thought I was talking about dance music (getting Acid House mixed up with Acid Rock?).

I knew there would be a Simple Minds thread on here!
And no surprise to find a few folks who rate the early stuff as much as i do.

Just found this radio session on YouTube that includes a track called Here Comes The Fool that I had never heard.

plastic37

Yes, there seems to be a lot more of it about. I guess people have a clearer idea of what the term means... or have extended the definitions they work with so it is more comfortable to use it. And the associations with classic bands from the cannon means that Psych = quality, conviction, grit, raw, ...

A track from How The Blues...

I really like it. Revolution in progress? Would love to know more about it if anyone can provide more details.

Really enjoyed that.
The Los Alamos reading of Walking With Jesus is everything a good cover should be. The version included here isn't the best one i have found but I always delight in being reminded of it.

Here's a link to the 1985 South Bank Show about the Velvet Underground. For me (now aged 41) this was a massive moment. http://youtu.be/AS7QnF6ieKY I can't say that i rushed out and brought the records. I wasn't buying many records back them and no one i knew had them to tape. The big thing was that...

done properly - sound-wise and packaging-wise Do you have the Playing With Fire double lp? I think you need to have a closer look. It surely is a text book example of how a reissue lp sleeve should not look. Like a "spot the number of differences" game. Accuracy - i think not. As for the ...

Walking with Jesus must be the most covered Spacemen 3 song.
The Skating Polly version isn't my favourite.

I went last year. Its well run, not too big, good ales... a short walk back to civilisation.
It lacks some of the extra curricula/non music elements of other festivals.

From one of many great reviews on the Austin Chronicle website: "...Spacemen 3, the pioneering Eighties psych-rock troop whose feedback and drone-ridden spirit hangs over this festival like an awning over the back porch." - I like that. http://www.austinchronicle.com/blogs/music/2013-04-28...

Back to that idea of My Bloody Valentine at one time being a band that is now Kevin Shields... I noted that Loveless is the first record to be credited as produced by Kevin Shields.
