story about music #2
The Tragic Fate of All Hidden Scenes

In 1995, Bluetile Lounge released Lowercase, a perfect example of the tiny subgenre known as slowcore. 

But for a series of coincidences, it would've disappeared forever. I trace the history of Lowercase from when I first encountered it back to a small indie rock scene in Perth, Australia that disappeared just before the internet came along to catalogue everything, forever.

This is the story of how Bluetile Lounge was spared.

Guests: Dan Erickson (Bluetile Lounge), Alan Sparhawk (Low), and my friend, and the catalyst for all this, Tyler. 

Pictured: Bluetile Lounge (clockwise from left) Dan Erickson, Alex Stevens, Howard Healy, and Gabriel Cotton

 its hot outside
december summertime
i cant lie
never liked xmas night

and i dont know why
i never even liked
the festive cheer
its that time of year

i believed in Him
as a kid i’d sing
all the church hymns
and never ever sinned

i used to be catholic and yet ive never celebrated xmas

ooo shes burning rubber up
corner hugging
head is spinning

ooo roll all my windows up
windows tinted
so you cant see in

close one eyelid
drive around
concrete island
upside down
the cars
