More Shoegazing

| | Comments (2)

After receiving some feedback on SHOEGAZING volume one I decided to take another crack at selecting my favorite and/or defining artists and tracks from the genre. Here's what I came up with:

SHOEGAZING
volume two
01. Spacemen 3--honey
02. The Cocteau Twins--blind dumb deaf
03. Verve--make it till monday
04. Catherine Wheel--ferment
05. Slowdive--crazy for you
06. The Jesus and Mary Chain--some candy talking
07. My Bloody Valentine--to here knows when
08. Slipstream--hearing voices
09. Pale Saints--1000 stars burst open
10. Swervedriver--never lose that feeling
11. Spiritualized--i want you ('feel so sad' 7" b-side version)
12. Lush--sweetness and light
13. Ride--cool your boots

It was fun to find out I did actually have some Pale Saints in my collection, as well as tracking down a Spacemen 3 song that I enjoyed listening to. Highlights for me are Ride's "cool your boots", with its cinema sound bite from Withnail and I ("Even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day"), an edited version of the last song on Swervedriver's "Mezcal Head", and deciding I at least like two songs from The Cocteau Twins.

Well, I don't really consider anything outside of the UK to be true shoegaze.
