Dozing Off in the Men's Room
Readymade - On Point and Red
Ok, this one's a few years old but I totally missed its original release. As a matter of fact, I totally missed both of this band's releases. Never heard of them until today. Before today, if someone had put me through a word association test and said "readymade," I would have yelled out "urinal." (Duchamp, anyone?) And if the band had been in earshot, I'd have felt really bad because I don't feel that way about their music at all.
As a matter fact, I quite like it. They have a new release that came out Jan 9th, but hasn't been propagated out to the music download services or even to Amazon. Just available on toneVENDOR
. So, I'm listening to their previous release which is apparently a good segway into the new one. Some of you may know that I have a thing for shoegazer as well as a thing for dream pop occasionally. Well, Readymade is a mix of the two... It's kinda like My Bloody Valentine mixed with Bedhead. A wonderfully sleepy affair that is just what I was looking for today, sitting in my favorite coffee shop with my headphones on my head and a light breeze on my side. The song "A Blind Tomorrow" is pure joy that sucked me into a perfect daydream in which I am still swimming. Totally my kind of stuff here. Can't wait to hear their new one. Might just have to make a purchase and not wait for it to show up on Rhapsody. Enjoy!

hey chris -- i'm a huge shoegaze fan as well, and included a few songs by readymade on the playlist i sent you last week. cool that you discovered them, too -- and beat me to the recommendation. :)
did you see we added a comp from the band kitchens of distinction a few weeks ago? also, we have the chapterhouse album whirlpool album available -- you should check that out.
take care~

Cool... didn't get a chance to listen to your playlist so it is cool we both noticed them.
I sure hope the new version of Rhapsody will have a "Watch List" for albums that aren't on Rhapsody yet. KOD might have been on mine. I used to love them years and years ago...
So are we going to get Watch List capability? :-)
