Strange Conversations: Part Two Hundred and Nineteen
Posted 28 October 2009 in Strange Conversations by Catriona
This conversation came while we were listening to Ride’s “Drive Blind” (an event succeeded by me becoming overwhelmed by mid-‘90s nostalgia and insisting on listening to a couple of tracks from Bush’s Sixteen Stone album):
ME: Ride really are shoegazer, aren’t they? It’s odd, because I love them, but I normally hate shoegazer. Like My Bloody Valentine. And you know what I dislike most about My Bloody Valentine? The fact that they’re called My Bloody Valentine, so I can’t even use that name pejoratively.
NICK: Yeah.
ME: You weren’t listening to that, were you?
NICK: I can only hear about one word in ten. So I just keep listening, and say “Yeah,” and pick up the conversation later.
ME: Remember when we said that that increases the chances of you getting shouted at? Because it’s really annoying?
NICK: Yeah.
ME: Did you hear that?
NICK: What?

I love a bit of 90s nostalgia and mine if often satisfied with a good rock out to ‘Glycerine’ and ‘Everything Zen’

For me it’s “Glycerine” and “Come Down,” but the principle is the same.
After all, we’re both teens of the ’90s.
