MP3: Bolywool - Save my soul

Despite the participation of many folks whose music I admire (Jonas Odhner from Sonores, Susanna Brandin of Winter Took His Life, m/2009/11/relations.html" target="_blank">etc.) and a m/_ns5Fgc-tjmc/Su9jUYhmGOI/AAAAAAAAANY/10bjI86TiQY/s1600-h/instant.jpg" target="_blank">beautiful markoljubez.com/?p=550" target="_blank">presentation, I just can't connect with Bolywool. It's definitely more of a "it's not you, it's me" sorta thing though as I've never been a fan of the madchester/m/Perfect/manchesterbaggy.html" target="_blank">baggy sound they emulate and never will, no matter how hard I try. I prefer my shoegaze to be more assertive than fey, y'know? Still, personal preference aside, I fully acknowledge that Bolywool's take on that sound is plenty competent so it's not like I can write them off or say "this sucks" or anything because it so obviously doesn't. Bolywool are a good band making music I don't care about. maybe you will. That's perfectly okay by me.
