slowdive, eh? hmmm... [...] well i've got the first album, and it's not that bad. i was just thinking of all that shoegazing stuff, and all the bands.. i think mark gardener out of ride was in select one month in the summer of 91 listening to snatches of various songs and trying to identify the relevant bands (and i saw ride twice and they were crap both times). telescopes, moose, ride, chapterhouse (1 good song, and that was because of a zeppelin sample: saw them live as well, and - yes - they were crap too), slowdive, swervedriver, pale saints (not bad, and i can't wait for the all saints cover pale sainst tribute album) and various others i can't remember.
Oooh, this takes me back!!! How about My Bloody Valentine (circa 'Loveless'), or possibly even some early Boo Radleys? (Ichabod & I, Every Heaven ep, Boo up! ep). Maybe even some early Lush? I saw Slowdive play live, and they were actually very good. The support bands were both pretty good as well! I also have a signed copy of 'Just for a day', I wonder if this is worth anything now? (probably not, I believe they did a lot of signings around this time). My green slowdive t-shirt has almost faded to white now, not that I ever wear it anymore... ah memories! On the LOOP (not LOOPER not LOOMER!) debate, I bought 'Arc-lite' single by Loop back in ooh 90 or 91, I recall someone say Loop were similar to Spacemen 3 (who I was very much into, still am in fact). I listened to it a bare handful of times & shelved it, can't really recall what it was like. On a whim, a few months ago I bought 'Heaven's End', it was only 6 quid 2nd hand in Action Records I think, I still haven't listened to it!!! Lots of other new stuff, y'see P!O!P children! regards, stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
