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!
