At AAMI, no less.
Sad Punk,
I keep meaning to ask you, what did you think of that VAST album?
You know, I'd like to answer this but I don't think your email actually ever arrived in my inbox. Not sure if it was a misspelling of my address or something, that tends to happen.
So yeah, you can try again if you want.
Don't suppose you gave A Storm In Heaven a whirl then, Bonnie?
I downloaded it back in Adelaide but I forgot to put it on my iPod and now I'm back here.
I'll check it out now (said this about three times now haven't I?).

Nice going there.
Also, after the shoegaze discussion that took place earlier today on the last thread, I think I really badly need to download some Catherine Wheel.
Oh, you haven't checked them out? They were one of the first I got into. Shouldn't be too hard finding their stuff online.
I've been meaning to ask: what on earth does your e-mail address mean? And how do you tell it to people? I have a hard enough time with amakaxver that I sometimes just give people my university address as it's simply my real name.
I just sent a test email, let me know if you get it... I never got any kind of a bounce back from the original email so that's kind of odd
Thayendanegea is Mohawk Iroquois for "he who places two bets", or something roughly akin to that. It was the native name for Joseph Brant, an Iroquois chief loyal to the British during the American Revolution.
I just pronounce it with my best knowledge of how to pronounce Mohawk (actually, I did study it a bit a couple years ago) and when they pause and look at me I say "uh, it was this Indian chief".
OK. Bonnie, how familiar are you with Catherine Wheel's discography? I was just intending to find their first two albums, but there's a full discography torrent here. Think it'd be worth it? The average ratings on RYM seem to indicate they fell victim to the standard shoegaze band curse of producing a couple of good early albums and then going to shit ...

Just avoid their last album. They did not fall to shit, but, I will admit that their musical direction changes after their first 2 albums.
Their B-sides are actually pretty good, so, find the Like Cats and Dogs stuff if you go above and beyond the first 2 albums.
I don't even mind their later stuff altough it is fairly generic...
Cats and Dogs is pretty good - I agree, they actually do a half-decent cover of Wish You Were Here...

Love the contrasting opinions from you and Bonnie on the later works.
But I can at least say that if you want shoegaze, don't go for the later stuff.
Cool!
I'll send you the album in a couple of minutes.
