Unfortunately, I don't think I've actually hard 49 different shoegaze albums... yet.
And is too pure....
Jesus, Easy-V is that really your location? You poor thing....
Proof that Axver's brain has also been killed by ODing on blue crack all day.
I'll be back, hopefully before the new thread...

not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. either way can apply.

Honestly, do you really think there's 49 good shoegazer albums out there anyway? Too many scenes have a bunch of really good bands and then a swag of mundane imitators, and shoegazing was a relatively shortlived, geographically limited thing too.
I'm a South Aussie, NOT stuck on the gold coast. To me this is a good thing....
hey, i'm doing the same thing!Nobody would ever joke about being stuck on the Gold Coast.
I lost my teenage years to that fucking hellhole.
What is this shoegazing you're always going on about?
Pretty much. Before this started in February, I had 32,000 or so posts. Yeah, now look what's happened. At least Ian can join me in claiming over 10,000 Superthread posts.
SecondedHugs to anyone who's ever had to live in Queensland.

It's a rock genre that was popular mainly in Britain from the late 80s and early 90s, characterised by groups such as My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Chapterhouse and Slowdive. Very much into vast walls of sounds and guitars that don't sound like guitars. The name actually derives from a criticism of the genre, from a quote that all the bands would do is gaze at their shoes, as they were so caught up in the music.
even though it's our Texas, it's ok sometimes. i really can't complain about life atm
Don't mind me a bit of shoegazing. Saw Ride live, they were awesome! Saw Swervedriver live, they bored me to tears.It's a rock genre that was popular mainly in Britain from the late 80s and early 90s, characterised by groups such as My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Chapterhouse and Slowdive.

No Ax, tell us what you really think?When I was 10, my mother thought it would be a brilliant idea to move from our small New Zealand hometown to the Gold Coast. Little did I know what I was in for. Fled to the University of Queensland when I was 19 and since then fled Queensland entirely for the University of Melbourne.
I just found the Gold Coast to be the most vapid, base, shallow place on earth, complete with a horrible climate and the worst town planning I've ever encountered.
Oh, you're absolutely right. But there could certainly be some real hidden gems out there, and I know there's still new stuff that's apparently pretty good, including foreign language bands.
Thanks, though hugs to anyone who's ever had to live in the 19th century too.
i know i don't want to stay here. but for Uni, especially when you're associating with so many out-of-towners in a small, tight-knit community with a decent enough nightlife, and when you're given a half-scholarship, the decision is sort of made for you when the alternative is wallowing in Adelaide at a Tafe-with-benefits.When I was 10, my mother thought it would be a brilliant idea to move from our small New Zealand hometown to the Gold Coast.

Dunno if you deffo classify them as "shoegazer" but House of Love are fantastic. Check out their early stuff on Creation, before Guy Chadwick got completely drugfucked.
