Dubstar, "Not so Manic Now"

College feat Electric Youth - A Real Hero

hpqp says...

Nice friends you've got there

>> ^berticus:

I think it probably does...
and I haven't seen Mysterious skin, but that looks good! My friends on the internet apparently all have difference pieces of it and are sending it to me now...
>> ^hpqp:
Does this qualify as shoegaze? It reminds me of Slowdive...
(speaking of which, have you seen the film "Mysterious Skin" @berticus? You might like it)

Obscure elitists are the worst elitists. Let him listen to his Urdu Bauhaus shoegazer trip hop shit; we have Disco Duck!

And you can tell him I said that.

I think you're right. I initially invited Farhad, but his bratty ass had to go off on my bourbon AND my age... obscure hypocrite

Ooh, I've been invited to a collective! How cool is that? I say that we don't let anyone in the '70s collective unless they were at least born in the '70s or earlier. For once in my life I want to legally discriminate.

I don't really have a vast exposure to shoegaze, though I like Asobi Seksu and Ides of Space. Most of the shoegaze I've heard has bored me due to the melodies being almost impossible to hear and the vocals being totally buried. If you drown out everything that makes a song interesting with the chord progression, that's really all you end up with lol. I've never heard of those other groups you mentioned, but I haven't really checked out Europe's music scene. I mainly listen to American and Japanese rock/indies.

Oh, that song you linked was quite good, btw.

Yeah, I don't get all that much out of Loveless either. And yeah, I'd mark Citrus as the best shoegaze album of all time, too. If you're into the poppier side of shoegaze, I hope you're also into bands like The Radio Dept, Mixtapes and Cellmates, etc. Basically everything out of Sweden. I'm gonna guess you haven't heard this song, but it'll crush you (crank it up high):

Everybody's got their own favorites, I suppose. I love the hook at the end of the verse, the dual vocals in the chorus, and the lyrics a lot. There's a lot of really, really good songs like this one on that album though. They're really at the poppy end of shoegaze, but Citrus has to be my favorite shoegaze album ever. (Yeah I know Loveless is amazing and highly-rated, but it's just not as addictive, imo.)

In reply to this comment by charlatantric:
Really? I've always considered this to be one of the more mediocre songs (save the instrumental hook towards the end). I've been a total fanboy since Asobi Seksu quoted me in their press release for this album
