Not sure how I missed this thread for so long. This has been my favourite genre since I heard Only Shallow late on the radio one night and had a religious experience. Naturally my favourites have been posted by now, though no one has posted this Lush b-side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8SpJhZp_Zw I thought I had something new to contribute to this thread except that... appropriatemetaphor posted:Here's some Tashiki Miyaki. Pretty dreamy and noisy.  BUT!! They have an album of covers out! It's loving awesome! http://tashakimiyaki.bandcamp.com/ Check out the Guns 'n Roses & Troggs tracks especially. (The entire album is streamable.) edit: Oh yeah, Quirk posted in the ebm/industrial thread that Dean Garcia released an album with him contributing: http://deangarcia.bandcamp.com/album/das-haus-volume-one It's really loving fantastic. Like shoegaze developed in slightly different directions. I knew about his post-Curve band SPC ECO, but was unaware of his awesome solo stuff. quote:Das Haus features teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Jan 19, 2013 |

Great, can't wait for "who the gently caress are Lush?" That's a nice change though. Last time I saw Miki surface, she was saying she was a frumpy office lady now and had no interest.

Currently at Beliefs, HSY and No Joy. What an amazing evening of shoegazer. Happened to see Beliefs open for The Breeders earlier this year.

Speaking of My Bloody Valentine and Japanese shoegaze, my brother is a big fan of Japancakes' cover of Loveless. Not easily available for streaming apparently, but here's a sample track: http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Only+Shallow/k1Gkn?src=5 edit: loving Cruyff in the Bedroom doing Vapour Trail on that compilation. teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Mar 4, 2014 |

Did That on Television posted:I don't think I can use Spotify since I'm in Canada but this thread has been very helpful all the same in finding worthwhile music. Thanks guys! Their new plans confuse the gently caress out of me, but I gather at the very least you get full access free for half a year.

Allen Wren posted:In retrospect, MBV live was quite-possibly the least-lit band I've ever seen, possibly excepting Tool. I mean there WERE lights, they just kinda weren't pointed at the musicians. Unless I'm hallucinating, but that's what I remember.

The entire show was like that for me. Almost complete sensory deprivation. Couldn't see poo poo because the lights were insanely bright, couldn't hear poo poo because the volume was obscenely loud, couldn't feel anything because everything was vibrating from the volume, couldn't taste beer because the crowd was too thick between the bar and me. All I can remember is the smell of the amps being overdriven. It was kind of awesome.

Love them. A lot. Swervedriver linked this today: http://www.amoeba.com/blog/2014/03/pst/the-20-best-shoegaze-albums.html "Shoegaze? Pffft!" Some really odd choices, like I wouldn't put Catherine Wheel in that bracket, but basically all those albums are worth checking out if you haven't.

Ongoing History of New Music in Toronto is doing a "History of Shoegaze" episode in two hours. Reruns at 11:00 PM EST tomorrow. I think it's syndicated in Canada. Otherwise it can be streamed at http://www.edge.ca Unfortunately licensing laws have blocked streaming to the US for the most part.

Man I was really blown away by that Faunts song at the end of Mass Effect. Really random and pleasant surprise. I don't remember caring for their albums that much, but I'll definitely give them another try now. It really reminds me of this 80s cancon classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaoQh9Ak3Rc (Listening now, it's even more similar than I remembered.) I don't know, this isn't really a great recommendation in line of what you just posted, but I don't believe I've seen Fjord Rowboat in this thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrJ5omXeC0E They deserve to be mentioned at least. They're a fantastic band from Toronto. This particular track has an early Catherine Wheel sound.

hatelull posted:There's some severe "being in a band sucks" burn out with that record it seems. I think Gardener and Bell couldn't even stand to be in the same room by that point. The show was so so so so so so so so loving good. Sounded incredible. I'm mildly disappointed that I didn't get Here & Now or Grasshopper, but everything they did play was fantastic. They got all the other major highlights. Seagull and Polar Bear were huge.

Wonderful  Though I'm mildly peeved that I had just bought their new "complete" collection! I like that it goes back to their original "true"-shoegazery sound, but really it makes a lot of sense. The slick later power-pop stuff would have been way more expensive. Still, glad they've still got it.

Fenrir posted:I feel like everything I look for in shoegaze has already been done and nothing else seems to recapture it for me. I like WhiteHowler's list, but for some modern stuff (more guitar oriented) I'd add: Ringo Deathstarr. (I loving love this band). This is a slight more Lush-like track, though they do male vocals too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46XU6PGvIP4 A Place To Bury Strangers. Hard to choose a specific song. I love the Exploding Head album shitloads. Its sound is generally more Psychocandy-era JAMC or Isn't Anything MBV. This track is a bit of an exception. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXsHK40tmEM For something quite different, I'd recommend you check out Ulrich Schnauss, who basically does electronica with shoegazer influences. This track is what got me into him, but the entire album, Goodbye, is great. And the preceding one, A Strangely Isolated Place is it's own unique special thing. Took longer to grow on me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bINikRHQy9s

Dunno man ... seen them twice and all they do is gently caress with the sound booth. (I kid of course ... the shows are god damned amazing, but they really enjoy long outro noise/pisstakes. One of them was a 45 minute NXNE or CMW set and they probably spent half an hour just loving with the sound guy haha.) teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Jun 9, 2016 |

Never saw Mojave 3 but I got to see Neil do a wonderful solo set at a really great Toronto venue. Show was fantastic tonight. Sounded just loving incredible throughout .. however a couple of the last songs for the encore had duets with Neil and Rachel that were completely out of tune heh. I don't give a poo poo, the main set was just bloody amazing.
