I made a shoegaze starter pack. I think the images on the front are generated by number of followers... This is a very imperfect list, I'll probably forget to update it, if you don't want to be on it let me know! go.bsky.app/MAoEsCe
NP: Neil Halstead's guitar is unmistakable on "Long Distance Lover" and the loping, atmospheric, sometimes big beat electronica continues throughout. Feat. Olive Kimoto (check out her KCRW programs) and Nick Houlton (long-time Big Potato Records collaborator). markvanhoen.bandcamp.com/album/spectral

NP: The new album by @moonattentant.bsky.social Their bio references Auteurs which immediately made me sit up! I hear a bit of Electric Soft Parade, Flaming Lips, I'm going to say Yo La Tengo or a slowed down Dinosaur Jr too, lovely wild sensibilities. bigpotatorecords.bandcamp.com/album/dum-evol

Everyone I met at Manchester Psych Fest, said "I'm going to catch the Annabelle Chairlegs set later at They Abbey." Huge buzz! And Asteroid No. 4 don't make it over here very often, and certainly not outside London...
The Earlybird catches the worm, all these shows have very limited Earlybird tickets left!
So if you haven't grabbed one now is a good chance 👍

NP: A Dead Can Dance cover by Bauhaus I've never heard until today. Heard on @shoegrazzze.bsky.social. DCD played in San Francisco at the Palace Of Fine Arts, all us goths turned up for this gig, as memorable as Cocteau Twins with the OG atmosphere. youtu.be/uDhh_t5UMNA?...

Belaire Lip Bombs at Manchester Psych Fest. This was a random chance band for us as we wanted to hang at the skate park, very winsome, jangly and engaging!

Anna von Hausswolff at Manchester Psych Fest. A big spectacle opening and at full pitch nearly the entire set. An astonishing voice.

Allah Las covering Mazzy Star at Manchester Psych Fest. They referred to their "disastrous" Manchester gig from a few years ago, and acknowledged some self pressure to improve on that. 🙏

NP: The latest by Dharma Chain, who I regret missing at Manchester Psych Fest, but the queue would not have allowed us in. 🙏 Moving from a classic BJM sound, the latest travels through post punk/anatolian approachability with bright production. thedharmachain.bandcamp.com/album/some-k...

Holy Wave, from Texas, are so under the radar but for the shoegaze inclined they deserve a look in. Combining motorik vibes and dreamy passages, they were a highlight for me at Manchester Psych Fest.

I went to Manchester Psych Fest and saw Kombynat Robotron, and now I feel complete. 🎸💃💄💥 Their set at Fuzz Club Eindhoven was absolutely rammed, I only saw a sliver of them there!

Always a pleasure to return to Manchester Psych Fest, this year looking after the Bad Vibrations stage, who had my pals Working Men’s Club on the lineup.

Great interview with Poison Ivy. "Nobody ever talks to me about music or guitar,” she once said. “I’m the queen of rock ’n’ roll, and for this not to be recognized is pure sexism.” Thanks to @bhtransmissions.bsky.social for the repost, as I've never read this. www.guitarworld.com/features/poi...
Poison Ivy: “It was easier for me to consider playing guitar because I was such a misfit. For me, anything was fair game”
In this previously unpublished interview, the guitarist, songwriter and producer of the Cramps looks back over decades of hoodlum music
