I was just listening to that the other day. I have no context as to why I was listening to it, other than a friend strongly recommended it. I enjoyed it well enough, but if there's a story, I wouldn't mind hearing it. Re: shoegaze -- no real surprises towards the top of that list, if I had to predict it based on safe predictions, but I have my own tastes, and Just for a Day ranks head and shoulders above the rest. My Bloody Valentine are on another planet, almost a genre unto themselves, but Just for a Day is such a perfect slab of fuzzed out melodic melancholy happiness that I can actually feel my blood pressure dropping, from before I start listening to it to after it's finished. Chrome is probably my most listened to album across the whole thing, but with rockers like "Crank" and "Show Me Mary", I hardly consider it "just" shoegaze. But like all my favourite bands, Catherine Wheel never felt like they needed to stay within their chosen genre, so I love them all the more for it. Nice to see some lesser known acts like Xinlisupreme and lovesliescrushing. And of course Curve are great. Goddamn, I love Curve. I may have to go back and listen to all my Curve.

November 2, 20169 yr And now for something completely different: Neil Diamond — All Time Greatest Hits IT'S LIKE A WALL OF HITS Edited November 2, 20169 yr by cutestory
November 2, 20169 yr One of my first crushes... Next crush... Then he got too old, so I crushed on his little Brother... And my biggest crush... Thank goodness my crushes were never cheesy or embarrassing!
November 2, 20169 yr Are you trying to gay up this thread? NTTWWT...* Naught that there's wrong with that Me: Fire Garden, Far and Near
November 2, 20169 yr Believe it or not, they're all straight. Yep, hard to wrap your mind around I know.
November 2, 20169 yr Oh, I suspected that. I grew up back then. That wasn't what I was asking. By way of analogy, I have a friend who listens to mostly prog and and power metal...and Madonna. ("It's a gay thing, you wouldn't understand," he says...)

November 4, 20169 yr Some cool isolated vocal videos from a loop vendor. If you can't make it through all of them, be sure and watch the 2 Queen videos at the end. Reminds you what a tragedy the loss of FM was! http://www.thelooploft.com/blogs/ryans-corner/12-amazing-isolated-vocal-tracks?utm_campaign=12+Isolated+Vocal+Tracks+(uPFpy5)&utm_medium=email&_ke=Y3Nrb3RvQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ%3D%3D&utm_source=Engaged+Segment+(4+Months)
November 4, 20169 yr Thanks Steve - Very cool stuff... Two youtube channels used, with additional tracks... https://www.youtube.com/user/Geeza153/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/netmusicdotcom/videos Back in the day when I use to buy 12" singles of various ilk, I always liked the acapella tracks that they would sometimes include - cool when multi track is available.
