Get Your SAMSELL On

Now available on Last.FM . . . Blue Days Lost, the full-length album from our pals, Samsell!

Long-time readers know Samsell as the band of the site’s original webmaster (and writer of Shoe’s Music Reviews) Shawn Delaney. Presently, you can stream or download four free tracks at Last.FM, or purchase the entire eleven-track release.

Blue Days Lost

But even though we’ll hype Samsell, don’t expect us to review ‘em. I’m not that guy.

However, Warren Ellis is. The notoriously hard-to-please writer of comics and more said of Samsell’s EP in February 2004, “Samsell: It’s like a lost demo tape from 1987, when indie guitar pop was about to become extraordinary. And that’s no bad thing. There’s some nice rolling Pixies bass in there, some chiming Britpop guitars, occasional punctuating surges of My Bloody Valentine glide-guitar. There’s four tracks at the band link, all of which have something to love in them.”

Can’t beat that.

    What the hell does that drunk know about good music? I bet he also listens to guys in plaid skirts playing the bagpipes.

    I think The Russ is confused.

    Warren Ellis=England.
    Garth Ennis=Ireland.
    Grant Morrison=Scotland.
    Alan Moore=Fucking Mars.

    Your bagpipe and skirt mileage may vary. :D

    I don’t know if Russ’s comment was meant to imply nationality or just far-off-the-beaten-path quirkiness on the part of Warren Ellis. Maybe he should have suggested that he listened to the songs while smoking a foreign substance out of some bagpipes? :)

    Congrats on the music out there, Mr. Delaney. :)
