Levis Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 They are - 'tis a shame only half the songs on their album are worthwhile. 'Tonight' is a joke. V. disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 J'ai une question, s'il vous plait. What sort of shooz are required for said gazing? I'm sure black Converse are de rigeur, but I do not have black Converse. I have pink and white striped Converse, solid pink sneakers and black skateboarding sneakers. Am I allowed to gaze at those? I would like a list of ten shoe gaze songs so that I may playlist them for enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I only have converses, they make my feet happiest. The ones in my avie are pink denim. I'm wearing them at the moment too. I also have blue denim and beige corduroy. I wore out the red ones I don't have them anymore Oh course, srs shoegaze means you shun the term entirely because in effect you are staring not at shoes but at effects pedals (as mentioned earlier). Ten shoegaze songs, easy: You Made Me Realise (MBV), When The Sun Hits (Slowdive - my signature), Pearl (Chapterhouse), Vapour Trail (Ride), Horror Head (Curve), Flying (Telescopes), For Love (Lush), Aruca (Medicine), Black Metallic (Catherine Wheel), Muffin 57 (All Natural Lemon and Lime Flavours) and Walking With Jesus (Sound of Confusion) (Spacemen 3) - just off the top of my head.

skybluesky Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 oooh you had red shooz! I had blue plaid ones and I wore them so much they developed a hole in the bottom of the left one. I shall listen to those ten songs and demand more at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 omigosh I have been ignoring my thread, I am so sorry, thread In new shoegaze news, The Besnard Lakes are doing it right but Air Formation, Autolux and Butterfly Explosion still do it the best and they all have albums due soon. SO EXCITED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I don't know anything about Warpaint, having just discovered them randomly this morning in a reviews section, and liking the sound of the blurb. They might already be really famous and have zero street credibility whatsoever, for all I know. But they do sound quite shoe-gaze / dream-pop to me. With elements of Sonic Youth's quiter moments, a hint of Cat Power, early Cure neo-psychedelic pop, a soupcon of Fleetwood Mac, even? "Stars" "Elephants" "Billie Holiday" "Krimson" Whatever, they sound pretty good to me. I might even get this "Exquisite Corpse" album, one day.

Levis Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I have a couple of tracks by Warpaint... I hadn't given them much attention till now. 'tisn't my fault there's too much very excellent shoegaze going on this year Autolux refuse to tell us when the new album is due. Also Thom Yorke chose them to work with him or something. My opinion of them is in danger of dwindling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
