shoegaze/dream-pop appreciation


Simon Bar Sinister

Recommended Posts

I like the shoegaze sound but I wish more bands did it with crisp untainted vocals. After listening to the Crystal Castles/Robert Smith track, I wish Robert Smith would do an entire album, in at least mostly crisp vocals, with M83..

I like "A Place To Bury Strangers"

When I first heard them I dubbed them bootgaze, lol.

(Band name is The Sleepover Disaster)

Modern day Goth shoegazer. That sounds awesome! I'm so sheltered and out of the loop.

Here's a couple classics for those uninitiated. I love these!

The lead singer looks like Justin Bieber dropped acid for the first time.

As much as I love electronics, it's amazing the beauty you can create with a guitar.

More darker groups should consider picking up an instrument now and then

@Coffeenated: thanks for the Sleepover Disaster mention - I'm listening to "Funnel Cloud" right now, and it's kicking my ass real good!

:D

I gotta admit I love the song you embedded here. It makes me want to get their album.

Also awesome--Lycia. Thanks Phee. I was trying to imagine Gothic Shoegaze and totally forgot about them

Used to LOVE these guys. To see them AND Lush at Lollapalooza was so awesome.

If you guys like this type of music, check out Strangewaysradio.com! It's a Detroit based station that plays all sorts of shoegaze/dream pop/brit pop, etc. The station streams 24/7, but we have live shows too. I do Vicious Pink on Thursdays at 10pm, which is old school new wave and alternative. Thursdays from 6pm-8pm we have Simon Raymond, formerly a member of COCTEAU TWINS (!!!) who does a show. Monday nights DJ's Zumby & Mikey from the old Auralgasms days do a show, etc. And I have a new show starting on Wed. March 16th called Black Planet which will be all new, current & classic Ethereal, Darkwave, Goth, EBM, Futurepop, Dark Indie, Deathrock and Industrial artists. Check it out!!!!

    • Being astonished... Amazed even, that after gawd awful pain for weeks, now in much less pain it's made me feel mildly okay about living, where just 3 weeks ago in the same condition I'm in now, i was still miserable anyway. Everything being much worse o'er the past two weeks has given me new appreciation for the typical degree of dumpster fire that my life generally is. Now i been looking at it like, "nice, this dumpster fire is way better than that sewage treatment plant fire over there. Damn y'all, I'm sure happy to be in this dumpster fire, not that $h¡† hole  over yonder at least... Hey this is a great dumpster fire here, fo real." Lol
    • Tron you seem to chauffeur a lot. I'm curious if you had any vehicle to choose from, what automobile would you most want to drive for chauffererizing or whatever the future tense twice removed description-like verb, exploitative deleted, adjectiverb or idkwtf form of that word. Errr uh, shit you know what i mean what automobile would you most prefer to cheuffer individuals out of in all the world over? Yeah. $64,000 question of the day right there. Lol 
    • Mine went great, i finally haven't been in excruciating multiple shattered rotted tooth collapsing corroding jawbone pain for most of a whole day for the first time in a week and I went and bought shoes for all three kids and a bunch of clothes they needed at great deals that the wife will be furious and unhappy about.... I mean already is mad about, the second that i told her. And i bought a fresh ass pair of Nike LeBron's for 20 bucks too, which also was great since i left my under armour boots behind at the last hotel like a dumbass. Whooo, i think it was the first day in weeks that i was only mildy miserable instead of being absolutely fμ¢k¡ⁿ miserable like usual lmao. Sry i had to say it somewhere and right here jumped right the hell out at me lol.
    • Warming up.  A couple of hours of cutting grass in this 44 degree weather and I froze.  I am contemplating going back out before the Sun goes down, but most likely, stuff will have to wait until tomorrow's high. 
    • Finally got a clear day to get back to the yardwork and clean out situation.
