I like you

[Big-H]

Um...what's shoegaze?

Seriously though, I've only heard of like maybe 3 of these bands.

But hey, free Mercury Rev is free Mercury Rev.

i saw the relay cover with "type/void" written on it and thought it was a shoegaze band influenced by the faith/void split. that would be koooleelelele

in simple terms shoegaze is a style of music which utilizes the "wall of sound" technique that Phil Spector made famous. loud and melodic guitars, soft spoken words, lots of reverb delay echo what have you...

i suggest starting with Ride, Slowdive, Swervedriver, and Starflyer 59

I know what shoegaze is. Silly.

I dunno, I'm not a huge fan of shoegaze honestly. I like Spiritualized's Ladies And Gentlemen, and I'm curious about My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, but I don't feel like downloading three albums by these artists.

[jaimi]

There are no words that can describe just how FUCKING ECSTATIC I AM RIGHT NOW!!!!!

[Fwching]

Merry Christmas.

Thanks, man!

[Aqualad]

which ones are the best? i already have loveless. I donwloaded the asobi seksu albums, guitar - sunkissed, and swirlies album

anything else that i s really recommended?

[typewriters]

you need to get the Ride and Swervedriver albums i put up. and of course Slowdive - Souvlaki...thats a must.

i also recommened getting ALL the Starflyer 59 stuff i put up, it wont dissapoint.

plus that Luminous Orange album is great too

[Aqualad]

yeah, I already have luminous orange. they're pretty good, and were on the trattoria label. starflyer 59 i dig; I've got a few albums.

edit: can't bring myself to get the ride albums...

[Edited on 12-27-0606 by Aqualad]

[typewriters]

why?

[Aqualad]

the covers

[Aqualad]

I just bought starflyer 59's can't stop eating EP and the album Old... does anyone want me to upload them?

[typewriters]

that song Compeating is awesome. and so is New Wife New Life...but they arent great albums. plus they definitely arent shoegaze

[Aqualad]

I know, I just thought if someone really liked them they might want them.

[samanthafayIFD]

typewriters, thanks so much for posting all of this. i can't tell you how much i've downloaded. mbv, cocteau twins, ride, starflyer 59, ride..it's neverending shoegaze goodness!

[typewriters]

no problem

[horseface]

that's cool. there's a couple title's that are really good that i hadn't heard before like telescopes and luminous orange. they really need to reissue that lily's record like they did w/ chapterhouse recently.

[Gokk]

it made my day just to see the sf59 love.

most underrated band in music, no exaggeration.

[Harnk]

the poster of this thread is morally bankrupt

[typewriters]

i kill peope, rape women, and touch little kids with no remorse

[The0wlsgo]

you are a god among men. you have done a great deed here.

[Xylemicarious]

Oh my God...
*Masturbates*
But honestly, I was just thinking that I needed more shoe gaze. Yay for My Bloody Valentine's first album as well.

Edit: Also, what do I need to open a .rar file? Never seen that one before.

[Edited on 1-5-07 by Xylemicarious]

[typewriters]

you need WinRAR
you can download it for free from tucows.com

[Xylemicarious]

Alright, thanks.

[jml]

FYI: All Swirlies albums and CDEPs available for free download here: http://evil-office.net/swirlies/discography/index.html

Go nuts.

[funeralpudding]

I'm somewhere between other posters and Harnk. Granted, while the Ride and Slowdive are epics worthy of spreading like gospel, this is a bit excessive. Please don't bite my head off, I'm on the fence about this whole thing, because while I realize that there's often no other way for people to hear these artists, and am all for free distribution methods, I am becoming sickened by the mass proliferation of it. It's gotten to the point where a person could buy a computer and feasibly never have to pay a penny for all the music they wanted for life. And downloading isn't even that old, if it continues at this rate, in twenty years artists will only be able to make money with merchandise and concerts, and god knows they don't even get all that money. I don't like biting the hand that feeds me, and while the poster of this thread may think that refers to them, it in fact refers to the artists.

Would a huge post of Elephant 6 albums be acceptable?

[jml]

please be aware that the swirlies downloads are being offered by the band itself.

I agree with Harnk - just like posting Sparks albums ad infinitum this just robs your favourite musicians of hard earned cash. Although for all I know some of these shoegaze records may no longer be available in which case I guess it's a different story.

everything i have posted is out of print. none of it has recently been reissued on cd. therefore, in order to buy a copy you would have to buy it used. and in the case of lps, slowdives souvlaki and all the ride lps go for over $150. you dont have any way to financially support the band anymore. if they wanted more money they would repress the stuff. it is better to download it for free than to pay some opportunist big bucks

[Figglyduff]

It isn't all out of print, certainly the Cocteau Twins, Lush, The Verve, Spiritualised, Mercury Rev, My Bloody Valentine etc are still in print (here in the UK anyway and most of them at bargain prices) but I don't really care so whatever :)

[funeralpudding]

Absolutely! Maybe I'm just old, I remember sitting in my friend's bedroom (smoking our first j's) listening to Ride's "Nowhere" like it was yesterday, maybe I'm just unaware that it's out of print. It's certainly a classic (possibly unknown to younger audiences) possibly worthy of posting even if it weren't oop, it's just a very grey area, again I don't think "Going Blank Again" is oop, but where to draw the line between sharing unheard gems and making them permanently free?

If you're only posting oop albums, ignore everything i said before and go for it... and i don't want to sound preachy about the whole thing, it's just an issue most people don't take the time to think about.
