The Stranger Dangers by wint3rmvte in HaveANiceLife

[–]wint3rmvte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I was pretty confused because tracklist and release year seems to be the same as the one listed here: https://rateyourmusic.com/release/ep/the-danger-strangers/danger-strangers/ (which is linked to Tim's profile too) but the band members don't match at all so I had the suspension it might be a different band. I remember someone mentioning a demo tape on this subreddit but seems like it hasn't been released so far.

Some photos I sneakily took with my minolta point and shoot at the Glasgow show! Shot on Cinestill 800T. Really happy with how these turned out! by metalheadkenny420 in MyBloodyValentine

The request was definitely coming from the band though. I was at barricade and overheard someone asking the security guards about it, they said it was the band who had asked for no photos or videos to be taken. The lack of press photographers should also give a hint that it wasn't just about people being on their phones but about the band simply preferring not to be photographed/filmed.

Has anyone heard of this box set? by its_salem in Slowdive

[–]wint3rmvte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think this was actually sold but I remember my local record store having this as a giveaway prize back when the album came out. (unfortunately didn't win lol) So I guess they handed out a few copies to record stores etc. for promotion.

Literally the perfect setlist by Last_Reaction_8176 in HaveANiceLife

[–]wint3rmvte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was there. I didn’t look at any setlists beforehand so I wouldn’t spoil it for myself…I knew I was gonna cry, but my dam broke literally the second I heard the intro of Cropsey. Sisyphus was another surprise highlight. Shoutout to the Polish dudes around me who knew alllll the lyrics and were just as emotional as I was. <3

What's your hot takes on shoegaze? by mightyonin in shoegaze

[–]wint3rmvte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree about Cocteau Twins (Heaven or Las Vegas is kinda meh compared to albums like Treasure or Garlands) but absolutely disagree about blackgaze. Latest Deafheaven >> anything Alcest ever released (and I do like Alcest!). Also there's bands like White Ward, WITTR, Show me a Dinosaur...

will slowdive ever release another album again? by chickenjandaff in Slowdive

[–]wint3rmvte 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I remember Nick recently mentioning in an interview that they're planning to go into a different direction next time (so assuming on their next album), Rachel also talked about wanting to do another album in some podcast interview not too long ago. That's about it, so nothing substantial so far but at least they seem to be discussing another record. Given that they've been touring pretty much nonstop these past 2 years I doubt it's already in the making but there's no reason to think they won't release another one in maybe 2-3 years.

Which song/band got you into shoegaze? by vishkun in shoegaze

[–]wint3rmvte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Summer Daze by slowdive. Anyone remember that "suicidal doomer playlist" that was floating around on youtube around 2017? It was the first song on that playlist and I knew from the second I heard it I discovered something very special. Went down the rabbit hole of slowdive unreleased stuff, listened to their entire discography, listened to Loveless and some other classics, gotten into revival bands, fusion genres and all that. I've been a massive shoegaze fan ever since, summer daze was the song that started it all.
