Listen. shoegaze is fucking dope. not novel but it’s even better when it’s scary. I would recommend the song Thursday on Wings of Joy. The whole album is just out of control. The beautiful nymphette vocals that sound right out of the BCE, the liberal strings, the suspense, the drama. sounds like taking one too many oxycontin. last time i did that it was 2016 but i was listening to spooky black x clams casino (obviously)

if melancholy had a sound, it would be this album. dreampop/shoegaze with electronic beats and ghostly vocals. feels like your heart evaporating into a stormcloud. check out Boyracer or Ionian Sea

you probably know them already. i am from the home of Minutemen, beautiful sunny San Pedro, the port of LA and let me tell you... pedro does extreme pride really well and that is especially true when it comes to this band (and in this case the pride is absolutely warranted). george hurley built a fence behind my driveway for us. i played bass in his drum room when i was like 11 lol. yes i am flexing these things because it's awesome and he's an extremely kind man. mike watt is around town sometimes and he comes off as very unapproachable and cranky which is also awesome and funny. ultimately he is also nice though.
there are still lots of blue-collar middle-aged (to quite old) people in rock bands in pedro going really hard. one of the biggest blessings of my life is having grown up here (despite the town's issues and generally freakish nature) because of the music scene and support from older musicians. minutemen are our (humble) stars, and i'm grateful for them, and i'm grateful for the many rock/punk/jazz/blues/noise/freaky sound art people in my town.
"A Wailing Of A Town: An Oral History of Early San Pedro Punk And More 1977-1985" is a great book, i was super pumped when it came out and everyone who was around at the time had things to say about it/things to expand on.
i have love for this place but i still am dying to move away. btw. don't get it twisted... i am getting out of town or i die.
