quarterwhipped: CATCHING UP WITH SHOEGAZE : MIXTAPE REPOST NOTE: This is a re-post of a mixtape that i posted back in early August. I was asked a couple of times recently if i’d done one of these, and for some reason, my download links had went to hell, so this is just a repost (new image as well) of an older post. Then again, I didn’t have many of you as followers then so this might be new to a bunch of you. Enjoy! Being a big fan of college radio in the 90’s, I gravitated toward the big dreamy sounds of bands like Ride, My Bloody Valentine, and Cocteau Twins. That love never really went away, though most of those bands did. As a little bit of revisiting and exploring of a beloved genre, here’s a little mix of songs from bands that were the inspiration for, inspired by, or the epitome of the music scene generally referred to as shoegaze. PLAYLIST: (individual tracks have links, full mixtape link at bottom) catherine wheel - CRANK the big pink - VELVET spiritualized - ANYWAY THAT YOU WANT ME the sugarcubes - BIRTHDAY my bloody valentine - OFF YOUR FACE lilys - FEBRUARY FOURTEENTH the magnetic fields - WHEN YOU WERE MY BABY pale saints - A THOUSAND STARS BURST OPEN ride - KALEIDOSCOPE lush - NOTHING NATURAL cocteau twins - ICEBLINK LUCK sonic youth - SUNDAY chapterhouse - TREASURE low - ON THE EDGE OF the jesus and mary chain - ALMOST GOLD the horrors - WHO CAN SAY motorama - GHOST the house of love - THE GIRL WITH LONELIEST EYES the brian jonestown massacre - (DAVID BOWIE I LOVE YOU) SINCE I WAS SIX yo la tengo - SUGARCUBE (LIVE) (download) Catching Up With Shoegaze pt. 1
