Viaene Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 "Safe From Harm" - Massive Attack I was gonna nominate Massive Attack this week, but I will wait some more. Good choice In stead I present you: There, there - Radiohead Love the video and Suzanne - Leonard Cohen the video has Dutch subtitles (not always quite correct though), which reminded me the song has been covered in Dutch by Herman van Veen (Dutch version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 This song fills me with soooooooo much happiness. I was introduced to it by my new shoegaze-liking friend. Words cannot express how ecstatic it makes me. Shoegaze is making a comeback... remember, I started it! Velvet - The Big Pink (2009) SHOEgaze, not even 'newgaze' - I LOVE it!!!
