LILYS - Classic / Dud + Search / Destroy

bump. dying to hear "Glosseder". Still can't remember if I've ever investigated this track before.

Prob shouldn't share dropbox links publicly so PM-ed you Evan re: Glosseder.

Thanks so much!

I thought this may appeal to some of you...

Why's that?

Man I haven't listened to Bob Drake in like 8 years.

I thought it had a flavour of Lilys in there

Oh, I agree! Ok, just making sure there wasn't more to it. I mean, there is a guy named Kurt involved.

BD could make an absolutely killer '66 era pop psyche album with one hand tied behind his back, his voice alone is custom built for those summery harmonies.

Was this oral history of post-shoegaze Lilys ever posted here?

New to me! Thanks for sharing

I suppose my holy grail would be the Lilys 'Send in the Subs' CD-R, I can barely get a decent quality rip of it never mind an actual hard copy.

I lost my copy! Wish I could help you out...

city worker hooked us up in 2016 but not sure if the quality was good enough for Mares

Thank you both! I would love a higher quality rip than 128kbps, the search goes on! Maybe I should try and ask Kurt :)

He's pretty active on twitter...

Thank you both! I would love a higher quality rip than 128kbps, the search goes on! Maybe I should try and ask Kurt :)

320kbps rip on slsk right now.

YSI?

I did a search on slsk yesterday and have just done one now with no results, whoever they are we don't keep the same hours I guess :)

there's a user now ("f**d*ngb*ck") who has most of it in 192

Not seeing it... :-( Hopefully MaresNest can find it.

Grunge album coming soon?

I did eventually track down Send in The Subs in 192kbps, still hoping for a copy of it, I also grabbed a great VPRO session from that same person.

verse melody was knicked for "leo ryan"? and maybe another track?

trying to figure out how involved KH is with Lodge 49... seems kinda deep but maybe some contractual shit is keeping him incognito.

xpost

noooooooooooo...

the only time I saw them live was in '99? when Delta 72, Olivia Tremor Control and Elf Power were also on the bill (macrock).

That was a good era... maybe the peak.

I dunno, that recently unbraided hair seems peak.

I appreciate his two sizes of tamis (tamises?) on the wall.

Hey Albert looks like

Hark, The Open Energy Channel Is Icy Water, Water Everywhere (B-side)

wasn't in the link

Damn... I'll see if I can rescrape it.

That track and the others from the Services For The Soon To Be Departed EP are so damn great.

Yeah, I verified run-times it's the same track as the lead track on Services. Which I have... somewhere lol

iirc they just bunged the whole EP, or most of it, on the CD Single for Nanny (in the UK at least)

Well, I was wrong, it was just the first three tracks

Really want the mystery tracks in this performance identified (don't have the time to comb through again at the moment to identify any timestamps):

Overlit Canyon - Live 2016-07-03

It's funny to hear him sing the songs of this era with that weird british/stoner surfer accent he sort of fell into since then.

Radiotricity 2016: "Oiyce Cahps Male-ting!"

Thanks again for the uploads, these early tracks are making me really nostaglic for Eccsame era stuff: "The Turtle Which..." etc.

Man, Eccsame is such an amazing record, it's just so low key that it's almost designed to be passed over, but if you spend a bit of time with it, it'll bury itself deep into you.

Maybe I've been losing my shit over no one, for some time.

It's weird how markedly different those first...idk five? albums are, like five different bands.

YES!

Maresnest can you please re-up the VPRO link? Looks like I forgot to click...

Also wondering if Albert was ever able to track down the missing file for Hark, The Open Energy Channel Is Icy Water, Water Everywhere (B-side)?

It is not a rarity per se, it's just the first track of Services For The Soon To Be Departed tacked on as a b-side to an import single.

That said, I do "own" it. Where it is, or my impending access to such is a big question.

No worries Evan, do you have the 'Services...' EP? I can include that also.
