Faves from the Skywave Tribute: Static Daydream & We Miss The Earth + Ceremony

Widgeted below are two of our favorites from Got That Feeling, the excellent tribute to Fredericksburg, VA shoegazers Skywave. The nineteen-song compilation is available for name-your-price download, courtesy of The Blog That Celebrates Itself. Former members have gone on to form other bands we love, including Ceremony, A Place To Bury Strangers, and Static Daydream, two of which are featured on the tribute. Several excellent reviews can be accessed at The Planet Of Sound.





We should have posted "Stars Fall" long ago, our all-time favorite by Ceremony. (It's actually the top-ranked track at our Last.fm page.) If you like it on the vid, click  the link below for the free download, courtesy of Last.fm. Approximate lyrics here.

Ceremony - Stars Fall mp3 

Everything's Exploding, Installment 2: Mazes, Thee Oh Sees, Moon Duo, Bloody Knives, Ceremony, Apteka

About a moon-and-two-thirds ago we began what was intended to be a series of songs we loved from compilations posted by the excellent blog/label Exploding in Sound. But then, true to form, after Installment 1, we stalled.  Let us therefore reignite. So, like, boooom.
