they all make me think of england. though they are not all from there. i actually have no idea where hardfloor is from. and boards of canada are from canada, right?. same queen anyway.
― scott seward, Saturday, 3 October 2009 20:26 (fourteen years ago) link
Hardfloor were German. Motorbass were French, I think. I might be wrong, but I think Boards of Canada are/were Scottish.
Re: selections - Ride could easily have been Seagull or Chelsea Girl instead. My Bloody Valentine should probably have been Soon, but that's just too obvious. Boo Radleys could easily have chose something off of Giant Steps, but I really like that earlier EP. Telescopes could have been You Set My Soul instead. Aphex Twin could easily have been any of about 20 tracks from SAW I, SAW II and I Care Because You Do. Blur could have been Beetlebum. Motorbass is kind of cheating choosing two tracks, but they run straight from one to the other and I think of them as one thing.

or they make me think of english music magazines anyway. not criticizing! just saying, it would be easier to make a list of music if you excluded, like, 80% of the world from it.

'Everlong' is killing me right now and it wasn't even my favorite song off of that album. Might be getting nostalgic because everyone I known is in the process of parting ways... moving to different cities, different circles of friends, getting married, working all day long, etc... and the lyrics and the memories they evoke are aching very hard today.
― Moka, Thursday, 22 April 2010 03:15 (fourteen years ago) link
I hate when music makes me feel nostalgic. Sod 'everlong', then. You will never be one of my favorite songs of the 90s, 'everlong'. Never!
