A great surprise from Zigzagwanderer

(Scott)-This turned up in my email a couple days ago, Zigzagwanderer has been around for a spell, and he
contributes some fine links here for us featuring some Devo boots and some Mazzy Star related projects (one of the most unbelievable responses, to me, for any post ever, was the INCREDIBLE popularity of the Mazzy Star albums, I thought they would sink quietly, they have been on fire, the Devo post has done well too, but the Mazzy Star has amazed me) I think maybe the easiest way to handle this one is just paste his email up, and then see if I can find some track lists for each of the projects that we have......btw these are Mediafire links, rather than the zippyshare I normally use, I doubt that makes a difference......anyway thanks a billion to Zigzagwanderer, MAN I have some incredible contributors to this blog and I can't thank them enough!

Going Home - April 22. 1985

The only thing we know about Going Home is that it was Hope Sandoval's first group before she joined Opal (after Kendra Smith left), which then mutated into Mazzy Star.
This collection of four songs were performed April 22, 1985 at Texas Hotel Records when Going Home opened for Opal. Hope must have been about 18 years old when this was recorded.

A Reader sends in a Mazzy Star boot!

(SCOTT)- A new (I think) contributor drops a Mazzy Star boot for us to inspect and enjoy.......I've never heard this one, sure will by tomorrow though..........M.D. Milner submits this one, from 1993 Black Session from French Radio.......gonna have to check and see if we can find a track list, be right back!

OK, this MAY be the wrong track list, I'll know more after I listen, but for now this is what I find:

MAZZY STAR 1993 BLACK SESSION-01 Mary Of Silence/02 Ghost Highway/03 She hangs Brightly/04 Bell's Ring/05 Nalah/06 Blue Light/07 Ride It On/08 Into Dust/09 Give You My Lovin'/10 Blue Flower/11 Tonight That I Might See/12 Wasted/13 Rock Session

Thanks to MD Milner, if you figure out that I have the wrong track list before I do, please speak up and I'll fix it!

Mazzy Star

Everyone comfortable? Ready to mellow down in the ultimate sense of the term? Then thank God for Mazzy Star, a longtime personal favorite of mine, for reasons we'll discuss here shortly. Early 1990's, Mazzy Star were basically guitarist David Roback and vocalist Hope Sandoval, once again this year's winner of the sleepiest-sounding/most bored sounding female singer alive (the male winner is generally Jim Reed from the Jesus and Mary Chain, the two once did a duet "Sometimes/Always" on one of the Chain's albums, sort of one of those things that you really have to hear to comprehend).

So the first Mazzy Star album, 1990's "She hangs Brightly", was a fine piece of shoe-gaze, paisley underground light psychedelia, "Blue Flower", the title track, "Before I Sleep", and most everything here are sleepy, dreamy stuff that is perfect for falling asleep to, getting a massage (not kidding), playing back-to-back with The Velvet Undergrounds "White Light White Heat" (AM kidding), this is an acquired taste by definition, but I DO love me some Mazzy Star!

OK, so, likely I never would have heard of them if not for the follow up "So Tonight That I Might See" and it's stunning single "Fade Into You".......when my wife was pregnant with our son, she listened to this album nonstop to keep her calm (it was a problem pregnancy, bed rest, etc), and eventually the baby grew to love/respond to it.......I'd always like to think that Hope Sandoval and Co. had a hand in our finally having a healthy baby boy, one who turns 19 in June and heads for the U of Akron.

Anyway, that's just a personal take, this is thier best album (imo).....they show musical brains with a lovely cover of Arthur Lee's "Five String Serenade", "She's My baby" is a winner, and that incredible "Fade Into You".......never get tired of hearing THAT one, even given my personal attachment. Solid album, as I say, if you only want ONE........

And finally we have athe follow up "Among My Swan".......similar, really, to the other two albums (did you expect they were going to turn into the Plasmatics?), more slowed down trippers like "Flowers and December", "Look on Down From the Bridge", and "Rhymes of an Hour" are typical of the Mazzy Star sound and feel, I say if you've enjoyed the first two, this is for you as well.......as I said, though, acquired taste.

Mellow out this evening with some Mazzy Star, perhaps after some punk from Chelsea or the Rubber City Rebels........this is really good, almost anti-rock, but cool and relaxing beyond description. Love this stuff, some of ya may hate it, and either way, there will be something else later tonight or tomorrow anyway!

I read they've done some other stuff since but I havaen't heard it and really don't care that much, I'm sure I can envision what it sounds like!

SHE HANGS BRIGHTLY-01 Halah/02 Blue Flower/03 Ride It On/04 She hangs Brightly/05 I'm Sailin'/06
Give You my lovin'/07 Be My Angel/08 Taste of Blood/09 Ghost Highway/10 Free/11 Before I Sleep

SO TONIGHT THAT I MIGHT SEE-01 Fade Into You/02 Bells Ring/03 Mary Of Silence/04 Five String Serenade/05 Blue Light/06 She's My Baby/07 Unreflected/08 Wasted/09 Into Dust/10 So Tonight That I Might See

AMONG MY SWAN-01 Disappear/02 Flowers in December/03 Rhymes of an Hour/04 Cry, Cry/05 Take Everything/06 Still Cold/07 All Your Sisters/08 I've Been Let Down/09 Roseblood/10 Happy/11 Umbilical/12 Look Down From the Bridge

Hope ya like these, a sort of closet-favorite of mine.......
