I’ve been playing about with creating new feeds this week.
This one should show gig pictures (as long as someone uses the word gig in their post).
Have a try and pin it if you think it might be of interest, the more feed options the better I’m finding.

Day 30 of #90sTop30
1. Sometimes - My Bloody Valentine
Loveless
1991
My favourite MBV song and favourite shoegaze song. Turn it up loud and lose myself in the blended music/noise, with that underlying melody and gentle singing. Beautiful 😍 shame they didn’t play it live, but can’t really complain.

2. When the Sun Hits - Slowdive
Souvlaki
1993
Always thought this was the best song on hearing Souvlaki (although I love many of the others) and would be my go-to in defining what a shoegaze song sounds like. And now it’s the Gen Z kids fave singing “it matters where you are”.

I can’t remember when I first heard Mogwai, but I bought the debut album on release. This epic song is wonderful how it carries along with a relentless rhythm and quiet loud quiet loud then an elongated quiet to fade. A masterpiece 😍

How has the Budget impacted living standards? The distributional impact of all tax/benefit changes since Autumn Budget 2024 is progressive:poorer households gain from 2-child limit repeal and UC boost, while richer households lose from threshold freezes and new property, dividend and savings taxes

The drums, the guitars, the harmonies, the sound of Ride, from a perfect album. Such an important band for me as a young student from those initial EPs to this album and GBA and even their reformation helped kickstart my gig habit.

We had a craze at school around 1980 for making these. So simple but effective.

The first gift I ever got my wife, 25 years ago, was a copy of Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. I would not have predicted that one day we'd take our teenage son to see them live, not least because back then the band appeared to be defunct. But that's what happened last night.

Early Verve were the best, and this track encapsulates that feel. Delicate and sounding wide-open to then exploding out, before finishing quietly. I love this whole album, one of my favourites.
