Afternoon, Cheyenne and all! The ode to Photoshop on Clay's show this morning nearly made me crash my car. In a good way. (Well, maybe not for the car.)

Cheyenne:

Ha! Glad you liked (?!) it!

Hello, Cheyenne, ljfw. Along for the new-to-me tunes, which, I am guessing, will be all of them.

Vibragun, new to me has me looking at my shoes!

Lots of shoes to gaze upon in today's show!

Piatcions, this is real 90s revival ride material!

Lots of tambourine in today's program

Gonna have to look up Dead Bees Recs, haven't heard much decent shoegaze material in over a decade.

Thanks for making my lazing fingers save themselves a google search, Cheyenne!

Is the shoegaze designation based on subject matter or style? I'm no good with these music categories.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:19pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

This one has the proper amount of jingle-jangle.
Avatar 3:21pm
Cheyenne:

Shoegaze is a genre; atmospheric rock without overpowering drums, often low BPM. A lot of shoegaze is instrumental so it's not necessarily 'about' anything sometimes, though there is certainly emo & goth/post-punk crossover.
Avatar 3:22pm
Cheyenne:

Genres are slippery though and highly subjective.
  3:26pm
melinda:

I guess I'm confusing shoe gazing with navel gazing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:30pm
listener james from westwood:

Dug the shoegaze and loved the spaghetti-Western-esque Federale!
Avatar 3:33pm
Cheyenne:

Train Song was too weird not to be included
Avatar 3:33pm
northguineahills:

What james said, Federale had a nice Morriconesque vibe!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:35pm
Parq:

Never completely clear on what distinguishes shoegaze from other forms of atmospheric, mid-tempo modern rock, but hey, if it sounds good, it is good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:35pm
Stanley:

Jangly guitar is good. I like jangly guitar.
Avatar 3:36pm
northguineahills:

In the late 80s, music journalists (especially, NME) described what is now known as shoegaze b/c many of the artists were coy and shy. The sound soon coalesced around the artists you know in the UK, and that sound spread around the world.
Avatar 3:37pm
northguineahills:

originally known as 'navel gazing' as melinda pointed out.
Avatar 3:37pm
Cheyenne:

@Parq -- Hence my addendum to shoegaze-genre-definition! A lot of post-rock/haze gets difficult to categorize.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:38pm
Parq:

Cheyenne, dig it. Genre taxonomy is fun, but I prefer to roll my own.

With a little psilocybin, any number of genres could manifest as shoegaze.
Avatar 3:41pm
βrian:

(Based on what I've read, that is.)
  3:43pm
melinda:

@ngh I didn't know that navelgaze was a category either, I was just trying to suss the nature of the genre from the name.
  3:44pm
melinda:

@Parq I like to roll my own categories too
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:45pm
Ike:

Dig it.
Avatar 3:48pm
northguineahills:

@melinda: It was originally called, navel-gazers, but that morphed into shoegazers, and still used as a derogatory term,

Haze Parade, well, they colored themselves accurately.
Avatar 3:49pm
northguineahills:

TBH, shoegaze was my gateway to psychedelic music, and sounds beyond.
Avatar 3:51pm
Cheyenne:

I think shoegaze has roots in psychedelia (hence all the dang ol' tambourines!)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:54pm
Sem:

This reminiscent of late '60s folk tinged w/ a smidge of light acid aftermath. Just the organ alone...
Avatar 3:54pm
βrian:

This track is more sky-gazer.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:57pm
listener james from westwood:

Thanks, Cheyenne!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:58pm
Stanley:

That was great. Thanks Cheyenne.

Much obliged, Cheyenne.
