Now possibly a quartet

I have recruited a possible fourth person, a guitarist/vocalist, for the Glasswort project. We might get together as early as next Tuesday.  Hope we can.

Computer Magic - The End of Time

[link] Certain aspects of this song remind me of another New York art school artist (band) from almost 30 years previously: Book of Love.

Airiel - Sharron Apple

[link] For mainlining shoegaze into one's head, Airiel is a pretty good choice.  It has all the ingredients. This is among their earliest stuff, from 2003. It would fit in rather well with the main movement 10 years previously except for the smooth production. The beginning is a pretty good deconstruction of SG before the rhythm track gets assembled and the song gets going.

Fleetwood Mac - Sentimental Lady

[link] Here is the Fleetwood Mac version (earlier by a few years). I far prefer Welsh's own version but still, they do a pretty good job with it.

Bob Welch - Sentimental Lady

[link] Originally written for Fleetwood Mac who recorded it in 1972, Welch recorded his own version in 1977 and it was a major hit.  This is the only version I've heard and it is a core song of what I consder the "haunting" 70s sound that I personally am sentimental about. The sound is low key and wistful, especially the vocal. A, B, and C parts are all very strong hooks and could each support its own song. This is high pop songwriting.

new song

Looks like this band thing might happen.  So I need to write some new songs. Here's one I wrote today.

Above the Vines

Curve - Already Yours

[link] From their first album.  Hard-edged with a stronger vocal than most SG.  They eventually purified that sound and by 2001 were making alt rock that really is no longer SG (but still good).
