I know what you mean, Midnite Rambler - although I do enjoy 'trashy radio pop' from time to time - if I don't listen to some skewered rock after a while (what you so amusingly call 'the sound of airplanes landing';-)) - I start to get antsy.<br />Glad to hear you have caught the vibe that A History Of Colour TV presents. For sure 'Pornography era Cure' is one of my all time faves.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-46419755215720579432013-04-30T19:26:51.626-07:002013-04-30T19:26:51.626-07:00Dave how do you manage to find all these cool new ...Dave how do you manage to find all these cool new bands?? Well, I am glad you do because this is valuable information for my hungry ears. With exception of the vocals The History Of Colour TV, which I LOVED sounds right off The Cure at their best - though I'd say more closely to "Pornography" era then "Disintegration Era". Haha someone here said "why do you listen to music that sounds like airplanes landing?" and I can't stop laughing. Girl - go back to your trashy pop station & leave me alone!!! I have to get the album! Too bad there is no LP edition. Thanks for your blog - I appreciate it.The Midnite Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018614143164534700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-2642570909840445562013-04-29T10:25:56.217-07:002013-04-29T10:25:56.217-07:00Wonderful to hear you are already wise to the &quo...Wonderful to hear you are already wise to the "soul music for stargazers" that Panda Riot delivers, Andy.<br />I'm rather certain you'll soon be appreciating both Nightmare Air and The History of Colour TV as well.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-22772372201609926572013-04-29T10:12:34.466-07:002013-04-29T10:12:34.466-07:00Ah I know Panda riot and like them a lot , but I&#...Ah I know Panda riot and like them a lot , but I'll be checking out the others ...

The band themselves got a kick of the descriptive language I used here for their song “Brightest Diamond” - where I say it "gallops along like a Dothraki horserider." They called it their "Fav press quote of our album this week!" ;-)DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-1316203496347779472013-04-26T11:50:51.618-07:002013-04-26T11:50:51.618-07:00Interesting review Dave, I really like the 'Ic...Interesting review Dave, I really like the 'Icy Daggers' song!

I never get tired of what the dreampop and psych artists created in that era. So, I love that new bands are channeling that sound today. I agree Ivanka - Nightmare Air is an awesome name. Both "Icy Daggers" and Panda Riot's "Black Pyramids" blew me away on first listen!DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-54041100495728600292013-04-25T07:48:46.311-07:002013-04-25T07:48:46.311-07:00ooh this is cool
