July 4th, 2017Shoegazer Sunday: De Montevert “Its alright I’m probably dreaming”
July 2nd, 2017This is more Dreampop than Shoegaze, but it’s pretty, so here it is.
I’m guessing De Montevert hails from Sweden, based on email addresses and umlauts.

Shoegazer Sunday: Pie Are Squared’s “36 Degrees on a Saturday”
June 25th, 2017To be honest, this isn’t so much a Shoegaze band as a single guitarist showing how to do shoegaze and performing all the parts himself via mixing, loops and digital Frippitronics.

Now let me apologize for even mentioning golf…

June 10th, 2017Adam West, star of the 1960s TV Batman and later a voice actor playing a lunatic version of himself as Mayor Adam West on Family Guy, has died at age 88.
