Damn I forgot to add it the 300 pedals and the Jazzmaster
I don’t know how Swervedriver seems to fly under most people’s radars. They don’t get talked about nearly as much as MBV, Slowdive, or Ride - but Mezcal Head is one of the best shoegaze albums ever.
Which was the better comeback album?

Ringo Deathstarr - Guilt
Half Price Books find. My favorite of theirs.
Some cool Shoegaze tapes
No Skips: Mojave 3 — Ask Me Tomorrow
My small by growing shoegaze vinyls
