I was nor in Heaven or Las Vegas nor in a Kitchen of Distinction. I was Slowdive-ing with Catherine Wheel in a Twilight Sad listening to Soda Stereo.

I've been extremely busy with college. Too much sewing. Too much sketching and making flats and Photoshop and shitty shit. Bear with me. Or else. So I'm back with some of my listening pleasures that I've fallen in love once again after a few years in obscurity somewhere in the corners of my bedroom. I used to listen to most of this into sleep almost every night, though it always makes me feel like getting high and twirl around with some fucked up lover. Red lights and everything. At 3 in the morning.




Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas




Kitchens of Distinction - Love is Hell (one of my favorite albums. ever.)




Slowdive - Souvlaki




Catherine Wheel - Ferment (I can listen to "I Wanna Touch You" for days and never get tired.)





The Twilight Sad - Forget The Night Ahead (newest addition to such a catastrophic playlist.)





Soda Stereo - Signos (They have always been a synonym of "sex" in my opinion, nothing sounds dirtier than Soda Stereo.)

Enjoy! :)

Snake Corps / Sad Lovers and Giants galore...

The Snake Corps - Smother Earth(1990)




Sad Lovers and Giant - Colourless Dream EP(1982)



Sad Lovers and Giant - Epic Garden Music(1982)

The Snake Corps were an early 80's rock band from UK. They formed after the dissolution of the equally brilliant Sad Lovers and Giant(which is up on the queue on my "forgotten 80's post punk bands" salvation plan), and released four albums and one "very best of" before splitting up in 1993.

Kate Bush - The Dreaming

Kate Bush - The Dreaming





Even though I've heard about Kate Bush a gazillion times, I'm relatively new to her music. Besides "The Dreaming" and "Hounds of Love", she remains unknown to me, and I must say that it has been more of an acquired taste than anything. But her voice is haunting, and the music eccentric and obscure. But then again anything was allowed in the 80's. And that's why I love it.

Enjoy!

The Chameleons UK // Tripping Dogs

(LOVE this song to pieces.)


One of my favorite bands ever. "Tripping Dogs" is not a bootleg but it's a rather rare to find live album edited and released in 1990. The Chameleons UK were a brilliant Mancunian band that developed an atmospheric sound that revolved around well-written lyrics and Mark Burgess powerful voice. Sadly, like many bands in this genre, it was highly overlooked in the 80's, even though it remains as a cult fave for all of us post punkers at heart.

Enjoy! ;)

Portishead .// Chase the Tear

"Chase the Tear" is a collaboration by Bristol trip-hop legendary group Portishead for the celebration of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was issued in 1948, and compromised the countries involved in both World Wars to protect and respect the rights and equality of every citizen.Even though Portishead has long walked away from their early gritty sound, Beth Gibbon's voice makes everything worth listening, and the track can be downloaded here.

Enjoy! ;)
