[phobophob]

great.

I've heard people say they were the first shoegazers. Plausible?

@ZLUGGO You are SO right. Complete & utter rip-off. The Craveonettes?

[blikeredaxis]

I like the dislikes - when this music first came out, you would be beat up for liking this music. The dislikers are the catalyst for making more good music.

This band is like no other. They didn't have any limits. Miost guitar bands I hear now set themselves a LOT of limits. Just relax, and do crazy things! Why not replace a singer with an octupus, and your bassist with a noisy Essex fruit seller shouting.

There is a song by The Raveonettes and it sounds almost exactly like this one: "Attack of the Ghostriders"

[LiveAtReykjavik]

Nine dislikes, I don't wanna know those retards.

"just so pretty, so real, amazed"

can't stop loving Swell Maps, every time I listen it's like the first time I'm hearing them, although I've listened so many times over the last quarter century!
