Ajeje, IT'S YOU WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT IT, NOT TODAY! But I forgive you: I'm getting ready to lose someone else soon. Then I'll tell you. Say hi to that blond guy for me, I'm going back to shoot rats in the dump, at least I can relax a bit.

Alright, is that all? Not even a little effort? Look, it's called "The Arrow of Time" by Martin Amis, you buy it, you set it down somewhere in the house, even without love, since that's a rare commodity—you can't spend it on everything. And when you happen to use it for the wobbly leg of a table, think of me, and I'll be thinking of you.

You know something, ajeje? I love the apparent simplicity of Riley, I really adore him, that man, that face and the way he plays, the way he thinks about music. Well: yesterday he was playing just a stone's throw away from me. And I couldn't go to see him. I haven't seen him live in 8 years, and I'm sure it was a wonderful concert. Can you explain to me what the hell made you think of such an example?

I have the records of all four groups, not all of them, (no, the Slowdive, no, I gave that away) and also some Galaxie. Keep in mind that I bought them back then, they are vinyl, and of old listens. Nowadays I find myself listening more often, but still rarely, to the Spacemen. I agree with the greater similarities you point out. And the fact that they are bands that have done worthy and interesting work. più bai bai.

My previous post contains a literary quote that has a direct relevance to the "subject" of the album in question. I'm waiting for you to find it. I'd love to hear your thoughts about the book. If you haven't read it, the quote could serve as a little recommendation, since the book is a kind of stylistic exercise that I think you might enjoy in your spare time. Don't worry too much about your hair; looking a bit tousled suits you better.

Darling, to me you’re a little blonde. Inside. As for the post, your good intentions are not in question, but they turn out to be insufficient regarding the information (don’t take it personally, it’s just a note). The vote: no, it was in relation to what it can be compared to, not to pop rock, obviously. And obviously it doesn’t pretend to be “objective” – we’re here to demonstrate its impossibility, it seems to me. And as I explained to you (but are you paying attention or are you always doing something else while reading?), the last listen is situated at a distant point on the arrow of time, and at that point the widespread enthusiasm didn’t completely infect me, and I’m taking advantage of Trell today to place the vote, which I correct by fractionating it to translate the small distance from the top into numbers. How did the exam go?

Yes, I knew what it meant, but thanks to lukin for the more than thorough explanation. However, even in the quartet you mentioned, I see significant distances and some similarities. Perhaps it's because they all have very strong personalities. The term, therefore, as often happens, claiming to be a tool of "definition," ends up being a source of "confusion." The poor Galaxie are still a bit further away, blurred and trembling.

I have all the old records, up to "Starfish." And as often happens, I'm more attached to the first two. But this is probably the one where they distill the essence of their "mood" and solidify it into song form. I listened to it a lot when it came out. I've also heard them live, and the note about the bass might be a bit exaggerated, but it's undeniably a talent. True also, and especially, "always out of time and out of context." Well, I'll listen to this again tonight.

Without offense, I recommend. But I've always found these definitions a bit laughable and the strenuous "struggle" that arises when deciding who is what, who is not, who is first and who is last, who is in and who is out.
As far as I remember, the funny term Shoegazer really seemed destined for other groups, other hairstyles. I wouldn't have thought to associate it with the Galaxie. However, as I said, I've always been an outsider to this lexicon, and I’m a bit sorry about that.
Can you tell me who the REAL shoegazers were? Come on, help a poor old-timer out...

Logic, there’s always someone who has to overdo it. Regarding "Special encounter," I was intrigued by some reviews and information, including the ones you mentioned. The trio needs no introduction, and the label, CAM Jazz, has released excellent works over the years, but I was asking for further opinions from Hal because, indeed, "albums of the century," according to some, keep coming out continuously...
