Drop Nineteens - Delaware

Anyone have MP3s of Delaware by the Drop Nineteens handy? It's OOP, and I've already bought it on CD twice over the years. In short, gimme.

Not quite. They were one of the few American bands doing shoegaze at that point, so yes, it owes a debt to the UK progenitors, but has a distinctly American flavor. I'd like to see MBV, or any of that lot pull off a song featuring lyrics entirely composed of Van Halen song titles half as well as these guys.

Pre-Loveless, no doubt, hence VS' begging to obtain it again. :lol:

They don't sound particularly like MBV, before or after Loveless. At least not any more than any shoegaze band circa the early '90s.

The sentiments expressed are solid, but the song sucks.

Have I mentioned lately that you guys are a bunch of tasteless dummies?

I hate that Nerf Herder song. It seemed like something you would like, however.

Crappy American grunge lite? You don't know me at all, do you?

I do feel that we've grown apart since you started spurning Pedro's and my lunch invitations.

I don't remember the last time I received one. I'll probably be back downtown before the end of the year.

I was just trying to give myself a quote to place under all my posts. The Dolemite quote wasn't meant to dis my dag-friends.

By the by - Version, I hear the VH lyrics quoted in the song but it doesn't make it any more interesting to me. That album does remind me of ISN'T ANYTHING minus some of the dissonant tones. They definitely don't share the Indian-rythms & vox that MBV favor.

And one more thing "a bunch of tasteless dummies"? I think Dot Dash played with those guys once. ;)

I've been listening to this record for like 20 years and I think the MBV comparisons are totally overblown. They sound so American to me. I hear a little Slowdive and a little Sonic Youth. I think the only reason they were called shoegaze was that it was hot at the time (at lesst in the British press). If this record came out in 2013, I doubt most reviewers would call them shoegaze.

Or pulling off a cover of Madonna's "Angel" for that matter!

Yeah, even then the indie rock cover of a pop song was already a bit of a tired cliche, but that song is legit good.
