At a push, I'd say this is my favourite Mojave 3 song. Everything works (even a mention of Canada). Plus I'm a sucker for a good bit of pedal steel.

This song reminds me of London autumn 1998 and catching the band at a free afternoon in-store gig at Borders (the book store).

This month I’ve selected a band that is no longer active.

While I'm pleased that slowdive is now enjoying even greater success, I’m a much bigger fan of Mojave 3 and loved those late 90s/early 00s records. So I will keep hoping that Neil will reform his other band…

My choice is James. Here are my top 10 tunes in chronological order starting right at the beginning.

Day 1 - what’s the world

youtu.be/nAwAwtxw-yc?...

For #ArtistFave80s challenge, I narrowed it down to two fav bands. Both only had modest success for most of the 80s but were big in the 90s and are still going concerns. I've opted for the one who had more interesting tunes and kept the other band for an ArtistFave00s challenge.

Endsongs, by Longwave 11 track album

Thanks for picking Longwave this month. Will have to check out Secrets are Sinister. They had some great songs including Make Me Whole (my personal favourite):
