Airiel

My hand was still bothering me today which is why I’m going to link to a video tonight. I think I’ll try icing my hand up tomorrow morning before it gets puffier and more painful. The last thing I want to do is visit my doctor; I’m thankful that have good health insurance yet I really need to play catch-up after pretty much taking last week off.

Airiel is a Chicago-based shoegazer outfit that I adore listening to. (I’ve previously professed my love for shoegazer music here). The following video is of them singing “Thinktank” at a ’07 gig in Lima, Peru. The clip is pretty damned loud and there are annoying strobe lights but I could listen to that music all day.

I heart shoegazers

I remain in the quasi-funk that has bugged me for the past few weeks. However, one of the few things that has kept me awake includes shoegazer music.

What is shoegazer? Check out the following YouTube clips and you'll see:

Astrobrite - Overdriver

Lush - Nothing Natural

Resplandor – Sueños de un Ave

Medicine - Time Baby III

My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow

Damn that felt good!
