I also just found out that Under The Milky Way was co-written by Steve Kilbey and his partner at the time, whose band I linked to in the post. Not a bad earner, I would imagine!
There are 3 tracks in this YT upload from the 7" single from the Swedish feminist punk band:
- Söndagsskolehyckel (Sunday school hypocrisy)
- Stålmannen/kvinnan! (Superman/Woman!)
- Särskild Sort (Special Variety)
This ties in with my recent post about Pink Champagne's guitarist's future band, Curious (Yellow).
Seeing as I just posted a song adjacent to to The Church, it would be remiss of me to not add this classic to the annals of this Lemmy Community.
Do you like The Church? Curious (Yellow) was the band that was led by Karin Jansson, ex-partner of Steve Kilbey, and mother of two of his children. He gets credited for performing on this song, and others on the album it is from, Charms and Blues. He's also listed as the, "Producer, Executive Producer"
I used to own a cassette copy of Charms and Blues. It just occurred to me today to see if a video exists from back in the day and here it is.
My continued exploration down the rabbit hole of international dreamgaze has led me to Japan's Shikisai Puzzle (シキサイパズル). It's hard to find info but they appear to have released a 2014 album that this track is from and a follow-up mini-album. Both are on Spotify. The album is also on Youtube.
>Beat Happening was an American indie pop band formed in Olympia, Washington, in 1982. Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis, and Bret Lunsford have been the band's continual members. Beat Happening were early leaders in the American indie pop and lo-fi movements, noted for their use of primitive recording techniques, disregard for the technical aspects of musicianship, and songs with subject matters of a carefree or coy nature.
Probably the funnest song I have heard in a long while from Swiss, Berlin based, Anna Erhard.

Try the jangle pop My Bloody Valentine? This album was a compilation of music that came out before their first Creation Records album.
Ecstasy and Wine (1989) - Yewtube or Youtube
My picks from Loveless would be Only Shallow, When You Sleep, Come In Alone but basically most of the album.
They can't be everyone's cup of tea, so it's fine if you don't get into them. I'm the same with a lot of bands. I came to MBV at a formative time in my life and they were pretty much the first "famous" band that I ever saw live, but even now, I can't say that I listen to them all the time.
"Oyster Cuts" is out August 9 on Merge Records: https://lnk.to/OysterCuts
Nice tune from Quivers who are from Melbourne, Australia. Having recently signed with Merge Records, they have released this single. There's a (not so subtle) nod to Pavement in there. There is also an album on the way.

I couldn't believe that there's only been one MBV track posted here, so here's another from the seminal album, Loveless.
In case you're interested in that vinyl re-issue. I had it on cassette and possible, later on CD, but never on wax.

Having noticed Sprints a little while back, and also enjoying their subsequent album, it's good to see and hear this KEXP set.

Great to see a good looking, HD version of this video.
I was minded to look it up today, after ordering a vinyl copy of a re-issue of The Sundays' debut album. The album that Goodbye is from came out a couple of years later and I still remember hearing it as the lead single and being completely floored by its sound; the guitars, lyrics, chord structure and that voice.
I think it was the season that Viv and Joe Montemurro arrived that coincided with me figuring out that I could use the FA Player to see WSL games. I had caught some of the Euros that The Netherlands won, so was pretty pleased that Viv was joining. I had heard about the "Arsenal Ladies" since becoming an Arsenal supporter but hadn't had a chance to follow with any regularity before then. Definitely sad news, IMO, to hear about her departure!
Not known publicly. The rumour is Man City, which would be suboptimal.
We're delighted to announce that 11 Arsenal Women fixtures will take place in N5 next season

Found an English language interview with the band, and have been listening to their Bandcamp. It's nice.
Hi Alternative Nation, it's been a while. Here's my latest Japanese Shoegaze discovery via Testcard Records (who are worth checking out). I know zero about this band!
The former Arsenal and Spain midfielder Santi Cazorla, now 38, tells Sid Lowe how he loves playing for his home club Real Oviedo in the second division
Uncanny. I listened to Brubeck a few hours ago.
Just giving a listen to the Obey Robots album that came out last month year, and it's really good. Edit: the other half od Obey Robots is Gareth "Rat" Pring from Ned's Atomic Dustbin.

I mentioned Miles Hunt in my previous She Makes War post. So I want to post a Wonder Stuff song.
Don't have time to write that much about this, so here is their Wikipedia page.

I first got intro'd to the music of Laura Kidd AKA She Makes War, Penfriend and Obey Robots in about 2010. I didn't really take enough time to really listen to her stuff properly, so didn't get very engaged with her work.
I just started to give it another go and I have to say, her work is pretty terrific. There's lots of musical variation across her different releases and personas. This song is pretty straight up indie rock, but there's also electronic and folk elements on certain songs, as well. Some nice collabs with people like Tanya Donelly and Miles Hunt, too. If you dig deep enough, you can even find the club bangers and punk rock she was involved with in the 2000's.

This band is based in Bristol in the UK. They sound a lot like The Velvet Underground, so they also sound like Luna/Galaxie 500 and all the other VU influenced bands. There's also hints of Cowboy Junkies and Wilco on some songs and a little bit of Belle and Sebastian. Their discography is worth a listen, and they have a new album out right now, too.

I believe they are from Toronto. They are in my mental filing system next to The Sundays, Cocteaus and Innocence Mission. This is a lovely song.

Those four properties – Trump International Hotel in Washington, Trump Tower and Trump World Tower in New York, and Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas – represented less than 1% of the 558 corporate entities Trump owned either directly or indirectly while president, the report said.
It was a fair enough result. The stats were very even and we were lucky not to have paid the price for being caught on the break. Top at Christmas is nice. Merry Christmas everyone!!
Nice article…
The Guardian — The Ian Wright Line: why TfL need look no further for train route’s new name
I used to know a man who was huge fan of Queen but also massively homophobic. When I called him out on it, “Um, Freddie was very gay”, he quickly replied, “Oh, that’s different”. 🤔
Thanks for asking. I’ll add a description to the post a bit later with what I can remember. The red meat is flank.
