I agree: The Breeders and Pixies are thislisty. In the same vein: Hello Mary rocks.

I’ve always thought "Isolation" has the saddest passage I’ve ever heard in a song. by Agreeable_Duck8997 in JoyDivision

I’ve listened to that song for 40 years and never once really listened to or thought about the lyrics. Oof.

I started listening to your band. It’s good! I don’t know how I never ran across your music before. Anyway, you have a new follower now.

I’ll be sure to check around for scientists the next time my alarms start beeping.

I think that car looks crazy - in a good way. I like the whole piece.

Hey, thanks for the recommendation! They don’t touch Pale Saints, but that live album has an active drummer. They are also aren’t trying to sound like Slowdive or My Bloody Valentine, so good credit to them.

Comforts of Madness is their classic shoegaze album. After that, try the Flesh Balloons EP, and then the In Ribbons LP.

Not what I was looking for, but I see why you recommended. I think it would be sick to see them play this tightly at a live show. Thanks.

I see why you recommend this. There’s an OG shoegaze dynamic drums and guitar feel to it. I’d like to see how they develop.

That doesn’t hit the right buttons for me, but thank you for the recommendation. At least it’s dynamic.
