WORST. BONUS. TRACKS. EVAH.
It's really only 2 out of the four, but they are so goddamn bad i can only listen to souvlaki if i cook up a playlist omitting the bonus tracks.

this kind of production (turn of 80s/90s "dream pop") has turned around from seeming like it was dating badly to seeming like really nice period production
'meh' on Just for a Day's sound, but I will say that this:
wishy washy and empty sounding
perfectly characterizes all the third-generation (-plus, now?), creatively bankrupt shoegaze revival stuff.
Bethany Curve? c'mon.

also many of those bands don't have two halves of a tune to rub together

OH MY GOD YOU PEOPLE ARE GOING TO MAKE ME PULL OUT THIS ALBUM AFTER ALL EVEN THOUGH I'D BEEN THINKING OF IT A FEW TIMES THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME PULL IT OUT AREN'T YOU

This is my #1 going to sleep album of all time. If I'm not counting sheep by the time the "Waves/Brighter/Sadman" trilogy of awesomeness cues, I'm sure to be off to blissful slumber shortly thereafter.

As I was going home from the club tonight, the words "to believe in everything" came into my head and I racked my brain trying to figure out what lyric that was from. I finally got home to look it up, but a Google search didn't do me much good right away...it took a bit of looking...it's "Catch The Breeze"!

I don't where to put this which popped up as related video when I was listening to the youtube tracks of the 2018 poll. An amazing performance of an amazing song. I also love the parts where you see that blond girl with pony tail in the audience which is just about to break into tears. I am not too familiar with Slowdive but this semms like their top song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTZhG9YSY_c

TBF, it's one of Syd Barrett's top songs.

I knew i had heard that title already somewhere...

TBF, the title and lyrics are James Joyce.

To be fair, the Slowdive version extends and improves on the Syd Barrett original tremendously. Or let's say it translates it adequately into the shoegazing nineties.

Hell, I'll take Slowdive 2018 over 90s Slowdive. I love that they're still playing it and have claimed it as their own
― Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 8 January 2019 00:36 (five years ago) link
Yeah the current tours are just phenomenal -- I loved all the early 90s shows of theirs I saw but this is next level time.
