Sunday, October 6th, 2013Shoegaze Sunday: The Telewire’s “Never Been Alive”

Shoegazer Sunday: 93MillionMilesFromTheSun’s “Waiting There”
Sunday, August 18th, 2013Here’s UK nugaze band 93MillionMilesFromTheSun (yes, they jam the letters all up together like that; probably works well for Twitter) with “Waiting There.”
Shoegazer Sunday: Highspire’s “Glacier”
Sunday, August 11th, 2013After meaning to for a while, I finally picked up Highspire’s Aquatic, which is definitely a strong Shoegaze album. Here’s “Glacier,” my favorite track off it.
