Rough Parade - Blackstrap - Steal Your Horses And Run - 3:58
i haven't got the album yet and am hoping to find it through my trusty Cambodia muzik-hustler over the weekend. what i've heard sound so much like either My Bloody Valentine or The Jesus & Mary Chain, in a good way, which in itself is a good thing. what i only want to know, and do tell me if you know the answer, is if Blackstrap has got its own soul past tall comparisons. otherwise, the shoeonics have been shoeaking my breakfast shoereals.
quick stats: hail from Stockholm, Sweden sophomore album - Steal My Horses And Run - out last 20th May on Tee Pee (US) and Youmakemusic (UK) debut album - Ghost Children (2003) made up of Jonatan Westh (vox, guitar, principal songwriting), Maria Lindén (organ, vox, principal songwriting), David Karlsson (drums), Patrick Alvarsson (guitar), Filiph Antonsson (bass)

The saturated riffs, the deaf drumbeats, the ethereal vocals... I can myself slowly caught up in the Blackstrap of your Saturday saturnine shuffle, Poe.
Really nice, thanks for the links.

Tall comparisons aside, it's an even heat between Frosted Flakes and fresh fruit. Amazing live clip, and quite the contrast to the (I assume) Ms. Linden penned red dots. You rock my Saturday, Ilay...
My Trusted MOGs
I may finally learn to love this shoegaze stuff. Great song. Would love to hear about your pusher-man, does he get all the good stuff?
My Trusted MOGs
Goodness gracious, that's tasty. :::drool:::
My Trusted MOGs
This is good. At the rate things are going tonight, I'm going to have to leave Mog again just to save money. :)

It's like Swervedriver and Pale Saints met The Soundtrack Of Our Lives.

Michael, your comment should be up there instead of my plebeianly put thoughts. hey, have you read Das Parfum / Perfume?
Scott, the amazing live clip is from 2006. based on writeups, they are less hard-edged and more ethereal in the new album. oh, and it's banana nut crunch for me.
dave, i have 2 pusher-men. Boom Boom Room, my digital music pimp, got the good stuff and are pretty fast. i got British Sea Power like a day after it was released. the other is my pirated CD pimp (no apologies).
wait, so you weren't into the whole MBV-era scene back then?
My Trusted MOGs
Dale, tasty but calorie-free! i just hope it isnt too much MBV.
Mike, i know, right? this MOG is quite the money and time suckah!
pekka, ooh, i never would have come up with TSOOL! way cool, erudite one. ;D
My Trusted MOGs
Holy crap! That's monumental!!! Dare I say "more popwise than MBV" - or is that heresy? Thanks for this one, poe.
My Trusted MOGs
a tad heretical only if coming from the unknowing, which you are anything but, Mr. Knife. (:
My Trusted MOGs
I feel like I just stumbled into a vein of pure sonical gold......... Very well done, poe......
My Trusted MOGs
thanks, dearie. i am going deaf blasting it from headphones but what the hey.
My Trusted MOGs
Pekka definitely nailed it. That TSOOL vibe seems to be seeping into all-things Swede. Nice one, poe (now I need to get my arse in gear and keep up with Saturday posts, bad gmo, bad!).
My Trusted MOGs
now Erin, it was YOU who started shoegaze saturday. bleddy right you need to represent! (besides, we don't see enough of ya. ;D)
My Trusted MOGs
oh this is is great! thanks so much. I am so overwhelmed with MOG notifs since I have been on vacation. This should get me in the mood to crack down and get through some posts and try....TRY to get caught up!
....did I say this is great? I am on the first song and loving it oh so much! thanks so much Ilay...big hugs out your way dear!
My Trusted MOGs
oh, you will get caught up, but forget about trying to catch up! when i got back to my Gmail after over a month and saw the million emails, i’m sorry to say that i checked ‘Select All’, took a deep breath, and hit ‘Delete’. there was just no way to work backwards with it.
i was hoping you'd like this one. big hugz back to ya, dear Mikey! (:
My Trusted MOGs
yeah. i have had to delete quite a few. it is really sucks but you are right...i need to move on and start off from square one or i will go mog notif crazy! thanks for the words of encouragement.
My Trusted MOGs
came back for further listening pleasure.
My Trusted MOGs
;p
(i can't believe i am still working backwards at just last month's posts, never mind the months before that!)
My Trusted MOGs
i hear ya. i hate not reading my friends blogs. it is really hard to delete something that i really do want to read. it sucks, but it has to be done in the light of keeping sane! it can be overwhelming at times, but is necessary when trying to manage ones time. ..unfortunate but necessary.
take care and good luck catching up. :P
My Trusted MOGs
Did you get this yet, Ilay? Because I just did, and it's blowing my mind as I type. Wowowowowow.
My Trusted MOGs
Dale, oOoOoOo envy. nope, it wasn't available the last time i checked but i am off to my trusty record store again on saturday. i will strangle someone if it's still not there. i did get to hear more songs online and love everything i've listened to so far. siiiiiiiiiiiighhh, but thanks for telling, i am twice more stoked now!
My Trusted MOGs
Lemme see what I can do ... ;)
My Trusted MOGs
well, ehrm, December is not yet in the air but don't let me stop you from doing charitable deeds. ;p
