Whatever You Call Them, Shoegaze or Not, They Are Under-Appreciated

I had heard of them. Never heard them.

T-shirts in Thrasher. For sale.

Through their appearance at Lollapalooza. The first or second.

I wasn't there. I knew they played.

Then. In Dallas. World Cup. 1994.

I decided to give them a listen.

Prompted by Dallas radio. There was a single. Played between The Offspring. And Blur.

I didn't buy an album there. Strange. Considering I bought others.

Th' Faith Healers. Swirlies. Sunny Day Real Estate.

It took the return home.

A trip to the Newtown Book and Record Exchange.

Helped by Jess. My neighbor. A classmate. A friend.

I always wanted her job in high school.

Lush - Split. Newtown Book and Record Exchange. New.
