Happy Girl List
.
Lowly Lily of the Vale,
To me you tell a useful tale:
You say, “Be pretty as you will,
Yet modesty is lovelier still.
- A Little Girl to Her Flowers in Verse.

note: Getting my rhythm posting back. Here is my version of get back to basic list, with two repost tracks. It’s amazing how I always return to the beginning to get bearing, in my case bloggers that I learns key styles. (defunk Hello Gina and Songs to the Sirens) So now you know where I get my penchant for acid folks, certain pop form, classical and their relationship to individual personas. Most of my themes are built that way. So here is restarting the tunes and mood … (hard IDM coming. be ready.)

mazzy star vid. – flower in december.
This is a great song, very cinematic.
“Fade into You”
Anybody know what Sandoval is doing right now? There is no blog entry about her live performance except album review. It’s winter. A perfect time for moody dream pop with psych flavor. Acid Slowcore time…

Post-Mazzy Star
After 1996, Hope began a career of working with other bands. She collaborated with a series of artists, including Air, Bert Jansch, Death in Vegas, Le Volume Courbe, Richard X, The Chemical Brothers, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Twilight Singers, Vetiver, and Massive Attack.

In 2000 Hope Sandoval joined with Colm O’Ciosoig (formerly of My Bloody Valentine) to form Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions. The project retained the laid-back, slowcore sound of Mazzy Star, and much like Mazzy Star, featured Sandoval’s sensuous, hypnotic voice. In 2001 Sandoval issued her first EP with the Warm Inventions, “At the Doorway Again”, and followed it up with her debut full-length, “Bavarian Fruit Bread”, a year later. She has also contributed on several songs by other artists for example the Jesus & Mary Chain, Chemical Brothers, Death In Vegas and Bert Jansch.

Been listening to a lot of mazzy star myself, have no clue what hope sandoval’s been up to but I heard some rumours around about a new record scheduled for march.
She should do something for winter. She is the coolest, blog favorite when the weather is temperamental and the mood is uncertain. Sort of like dream pop gone melancholicaly wrong.
