Tuesday II

Today marks the final day of the rock playlist. The final two of eighteen tracks:

Pluramon - Hello Shadow
My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow

Note the remarkable resemblence between these two (even the names). I guess they were made about 10 years apart, when did Loveless come out? Pluramon's entire Dreams Top Rock album is very MBV-ish, very well-done. Not sure if it's explicitly an attempt to sound like MBV, though such a thing would be neither scandallous nor bad. Vocals on this track are by Julee Cruise, who was the roadhouse singer on Twin Peaks (which I love). Pluramon is a German IDM producer with many aliases, all good. Read a review of this record here. It's funny, the review makes reference to MBV and to these two tracks specifically, and I only looked at it now that the playlist has been complete, in my head, for weeks. So I'm not crazy and they are similar. Lucky me for having the Dreams Top Rock LP (and I guess the Loveless LP, perhaps they will get play when I have a Shoegaze party [not anytime soon, the one this Saturday is strictly dance, don't forget])

Perhaps sometime soon I'll drop all tracks from this week's playlist into one set and leave a permanent link to it, as some of the earlier tracks have expired.
