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.

two months pass...

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"!

nine years pass...

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.

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

Yeah the current tours are just phenomenal -- I loved all the early 90s shows of theirs I saw but this is next level time.
