Hopefully a decade away has put some fire back in them. Wait... can a shoegazer band have fire?

Dick Laurent is dead.

You reminded me of good times, thank you.

Whoever says that the long tail is a post-ringtones concept clearly didn't play video games in the 90s.

They were a bit boring. Doesn't stop "Rave Down" from being awesome though. (And I have those first three Creation CD-EPs. Line for first-borns start here, single file. Thank you.)

Being a youngin' and all, I've always wanted to see a 'real' shoegaze-ish band live. Unfortunately, they're not touring anywhere near me. :p

Ahh! Jim lad!
