Mazzy Star!?!?!

I am still listening to this record ten years later! WTF!?!

I know that some new discs will stay in the collection and make it into my ears every once in a while - a new Tom Waits or Nick Cave fer instance, but most discs get bought, get played for a week or a month then get sold. Why am I still listening to this one?

Sincerely,

Perplexed in Purgatory

I just busted out th' old Mazzy last week, m'self. I forgot about it for awhile but still like it.

Yah I heard "Fade Into You" on the radio recently. What a great song.

has anybody heard any of hope sandoval's solo stuff? i actually wanna try to check some of her stuff out, cause she was amazing in mazzy star!

10 years, huh? You must be refering to So Tonight That I Might See , It's a great record, but I to tell you the truth, both Among My Swan and She Hangs Brightly blow that one out of the water, Maybe it's becuase I have been a fan since '92 and I have listened to SHB more times than I can count.

But what you are saying makes sense. They are a damn good band and I listen to all three of their albums quite regularly to this day.

Maybe one day if we cross our fingers and wish hard enough, they will put out some new material.... Don't get me wrong, the Hope Sandoval solo CDs were great, but just not quite the same. I highly reccomend you pick those up if you like Mazzy Star.

Also, Capitol is supposadly putting together an anthology to be released in the fall. A "greatest hits" collection, I would guess, but word has it that it's going to be a CD/DVD. I'm drooling in anticipation!

Totally agree with ankiel66

fade into you

totally fucking amazing - after all these year

HOT

Yeah, I've got a ton of Mazzy Star MP3s.. =)

I didn't care for what I heard of Hope's solo stuff, but the first 2 mazzy star albums are solid quite rock albums..

never quite got into the band, but i did enjoy that 'fade into you' song and the jesus & mary chain song hope did awhiles back

Mazzy Star was sooo awesome, at least for one album. I re-bought it at some shitty mall store a couple years ago and my then-girlfriend hated me for it. Well guess what, ex-girlfriend?? I STILL HAVE MAZZY STAR! But wait? Where are you?? HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHA

Liv Tyler losing her virginity in Stealing Beauty to a Mazzy Star song remains one of the most awesomest things I've ever seen.

I love all mazzy star, but i think She hangs brightly is my favorite

I named my parrot after her

I have her solo album, and find it (surprise) VERY Mazzy Star like, especially songs like "On the Low." Personally I don't think you can go wrong with it if you're already a fan. Slightly "warmer" sound than Mazzy but not much different in the long run.

is hope sandoval's solo stuff easy to find? i wanna pick up her solo stuff if i can find it. any help would rock!

Yea, you should have no problem finding the full length and the Suzanne EP, the At The Doorway Again single...well...that might be ahrder to track down. But at the very least, I would suggest to ANY Mazzy Star fan, that you pick up the full lenght, Bavarian Fruit Bread.

Hope Sandoval singing with The Jesus & Mary Chain was even better than Mazzy Star!!!

Well, I wouldn't quite say that, but it is a damn good song...

I've been in love with Mazzy Star since the very first time I heard "Fade Into You". That's still one of my favorite songs. It's so moving.

started listening with 'fade into you' and simply never stopped. 'into dust' is just about the most desolate, beautiful, suicidal thing i've ever laid ears on.

i've 'hope sandoval and the warm intentions' playing in winamp right now. good, but not near as yummy as mazzy star.

hope is so vulnerably cute.
