The problem with holy cows is that they often get run into by Ambassadors and Tatas.

RLY: listening to Lorelei as I write this. Use of my qualifier "almost" should've mitigated your exception. I just prefer their "middle era" - just like the Beatles. Going to check out more of CW's first album.
DS: Nice comparison.
Jim: The Long Goodbye, baby.

The song "Black Metallic" by Catherine Wheel might be applied to this genre too. Regardless, it's pretty swell.

Hmmmm. I was waiting to see if anyone would mention Cocteau Twins. A lot of folks don't consider them to be shoegazer; "they're more like dreampop," is the common (lame) argument. Some of their early stuff is almost too twee to handle, but I think the album Heaven or Las Vegas should be recommended here.

I got to sub a music appreciation class and played the "Souvlaki Space Station" by Slowdive. One kid observed, "This would be better high."
betterforsome: Souvlaki by Slowdive, Spooky by Lush and, of course, Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. I also like Going Blank Again by Ride

As you can tell from my name
Shoegazer music.

I'm more of a
Max Power fan.

I can dig it, Warren. Rick Wakeman stuff etc. Just don't say Rush, Oatesey.

"Masturbation rock"
Wow. That can describe sooooo many bands and sounds. And not just "The Stroke" or The Strokes.

Gene Simmons
I don't want that asshole anywhere near my phallically-encased ground hog assholes. Or is he a frickin' doorman or something?

Hey, man, there's a beverage here!

Ignore
They will go away.

"You shouldna done that
he's just an elf. Mm hmmm."

Question the first
"How does it feel to treat me like you do?"

Oh, Czar, I can't fool you.

Apologies for the doubling. WTF.

Hoo boy
Ipecac, Vaseline and impetigo in the same Index?
Somewhere someone with a really specific kink gets an early Christmas.

Hmmm. I think I had that once after shooting several ungulates in Africa.
George Saunders kicks Foer's ass with his nouns alone.

Shit, man, you couldn't even go with "Moi, le premier" or something?
