Quintessential English shoegazer band formed in 1988 by Stephen Lawrie (born 28 March 1969, East Hartford, Northumberland, England; vocals), Joanna Doran (b. Wednesbury, West Midlands, England; guitar/vocals), David Fitzgerald (b. 30 August 1966, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, England; bass), Robert Brooks (b. 11 April 1969, Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, England) and Dominic Dillon (b. 26 September 1964, Bolton, Lancashire, England).
The Telescopes started out peddling a fearsome noise which owed much to the path laid earlier in the decade by "The Jesus and Mary Chain". Their first release was a flexidisc shared with "Loop" and sold with the Sowing Seeds fanzine, after which came two temperamental singles on Cheree records followed by a deal with the American What Goes On label. Unfortunately, after a further brace of singles and one album in 1989, What Goes on succumbed to bankcruptcy, leaving "The Telescopes" to battle for the rights to their own songs and sign to Creation Records.
The change of label coincided with a change in musical style as the group added lighter shades and harmonies to their intense guitar-based sound, a development which paid dividends when their 8th single, 'Flying' reached number 79 in the UK charts in 1991.

Mrs. Gowanus
<br /> By (H+) M.S.G. (from the archives)
<br />
<br />Mrs. Gowanus, the line between us is so fine
<br />What makes people act the way they do?
<br />Mrs. Gowanus, this bar will be forever ours
<br />Why did you have to leave us so soon?
<br />It couldn’t have been the right time
<br />It couldn’t have been so soon
<br />Mrs. Gowanus, the lines between us are so fine
<br />What secrets do you hide?
<br />What futures can you tell me?
<br />Looking into the cup you hold
<br />Mrs. Gowanus, are you really so old,
<br />That you alone know,
<br />When the truth becomes lies,
<br />Through the passage of time?
<br />Mrs. Gowanus, why are you singing to the stones?
<br />Do they tell you what you need to know?
<br />Our seats are so far away
<br />Mrs. Gowanus, the line between us is so fine
<br />What makes people act the way they do?
<br />Mrs. Gowanus, are we really losing you?
<br />

As president, Barack Obama will implement a 21st century economic agenda to help ensure that America can compete in a global economy, and ensure the middle class is thriving and growing. He will increase investments in infrastructure, energy independence, education, and research and development; modernize and simplify our tax code so it provides greater opportunity and relief to more Americans; and implement trade policies that benefit American workers and increase the export of American goods.
Please...
In 14 days... Things are going to change! I am asking you to help Barack Obama lead us into the future!
Ciao ragazzi! Per il lancio del nostro nuovo album abbiamo deciso di creare un blog (www.mrstar-interno17.blogspot.com) che si muove come un diario di bordo collettivo. Cerchiamo persone che abbiano voglia di mettersi in gioco e di collaborare.
Se vi va, ci piacerebbe che realizzaste delle foto sul nostro nuovo singolo, su quello che vi ispira, sulle immagini che vi collegate.
Potrete scaricare gratuitamente il singolo andando su www.lastfm.it/music/Interno+17
Ci piacerebbe che le foto fossero postate come risposta al topic... come al solito...
Se avete domande, insulti, perplessità non esitate a scriverci!
We must build a world free of unnecessary barriers, stereotypes, and discrimination .... policies must be developed, attitudes must be shaped, and buildings and organizations must be designed to ensure that everyone has a chance to get the education they need and live independently as full citizens in their communities.
NOW ITS OUR TURN TO HELP SAVE THIS COUNTRY FROM DEVASTATION!!! PLEASE VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA!!!
