Artist Song
the emerald down  caught a wave 
abeautifulmachine  breath in space

sigurros  svefn-g-englar 
arrogants  costa rica 
catherine wheel  shallow

Comment:

1995-present. the band vaportrail are fragmentally shimmeringly beautiful. and as for sigurros, yes i know, but they drone and it works beautifully. enjoy

is it still shoe-gazing when you're looking at the sky? Nice mix

Perhaps the picture is a reflection from a puddle. Anyway, this looks super cool. I'm pretty much only familiar with the old school shoegazers (see my shoegazing mix) I'm assuming Vaportrail is named after the Ride song?

Not familiar with some of this newer class of shoegazers. We really should make a trade.

yes vaportrail is named after Ride, but their music is oh-so-beautiful.. def. worth checking out. they live in San Fran i believe.. The pic was looking up through the trees on kodak B&W. and deceptacon -- im really all settled in the twin cities now -- we can trade :) hell, let's all trade :) we should all just meet up, bring 15 cd burners and a fuckload of CDs :)

This looks really cool. Right now I'm listening to Vaportrail's "Angel Has Landed"--great disk.

hello Shoegazing Dave, this looks like a killer mix.. I'm a big old-school gazer fan, which I'm sure you've seen, but I don't know most of these newer bands..except for the Autumns and another one called Southpacific. I'd love to trade for this one. I'll be in touch.

This looks really cool, but I wish you would have included some newer shoegaze bands. Although I guess there really aren't any anymore, at least good. Have you heard "the Rep"? They are new and out of Florida,probably the best shoegaze band out there now, IMO. check out www.purevolume.com/therep, if you haven't, it's way cool.

any mix that involves loveliescrushing and emerald down instantly gets kudos.
