Willy aka the village bike part deux

After listening to my fren,Max's song, Oasis/Ride-inspired "Lovely Lady", I went home and poured out whatever shoe-gazer, dream pop, noise pop, basically the sound of the U.K. scene in the late 80's and early 90's. The usual suspects were of course, My Bloody Valentine, the early Verve stuff, the rootsy Ride stuff * okay, that's a bit outta scene but it's the only Ride stuff I have * I think I gotta dig out my Lush stuff later.

Man, these stuff was a generation ago. Shoegazer never became as big as grunge which actually did not just kill of cock rock like Poison, Warrant, etc but I think, it effectively ended UK's fascination for swirling ambient guitar pop aka shoegazer as well.

Well, I think I should convince Max to make it sound more Ride than Oasis. Hmmmm .... Well, at least I can get my hands on his brother's 4 track recording machine and play around with it. All my recent recordings had been done on the PC; therefore, all the mixing had to be done digitally with a mouse. Well, with a 4-track, I guess I get to tweak some real knobs ...Geddit? Tweak some knobs?? Ahhh, fuck it ...
