In a weird harmonic convergence, LA has been an origin point for some great shoegaze in two distinct eras, in early 1990s which diverged into the dream pop scene and then again in the hipster revival in the Silverlake bands post-2009. Today, LA bands sound like a prodigy of their heritage, Mazzy Star colliding with Medicine. Also a lot of female vocalists in LA bands, its becoming cliched here, and we are almost like an 1992 Olympia, Washington revival going in the local scene. Since I dig that sound, going to local shows never a let down.

Alas, the more I realize it, I'm a victim the LA sound, all the music I've created in the past ten years has been trapped in the form of shoegaze. I don't even really listen to that many shoegaze bands, and I've been in reggae and blues bands more than anything, but all my own music? Endlessly the same, even as it progresses. In fact, this latest project I'm working on I've full-fledged conceded is confined to the 1990s

wish all 4 parts where on here
or even better a 10 hour version

I am starting to think that you, louder and I should start a SYG hip hop fanatic group. Fuck the haters.
