I bet your spleen is quite romantic though, in a kind of kooky, sensitive way. |

Oh yeah, slowdive. Slowdive are good. I wouldn't call a storm in heaven shoegaze stuff though. Although i'm quite the nitpicker. |

i like mbv a lot now... i'm not 100% sure what this genre is. i've heard that dinosaur jr belongs to it, but i don't really get it. i love dinosaur and have for a long time. one of the most underestimated rock bands ever. |

shoegazer is more of an English thing, as far as I know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
ok - i have no clue what it is then. thanks. |

who removed that r from the topic title? |

The first real example of Shoegazer came from My Bloody Valentine with their 1988 album Isn't Anything. The album is characterized by warbling fuzzed out guitars, male / female vocal harmonies and dreamy, cough syrup influenced pop sensibilities. hahaha! |
||||||||

thanks for that. it sounds like a great idea... i don't know many of the bands though. and i think that if you go by that description, dinosaur wasn't totally far off as far as style, though they're from the u.s. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
something like "my bloody valentine" or "cocteau twins" sounds nothing like "dinosaur jr", though. |

dinosaur was a little more aggressive than some of those other bands, and most of the bands are british. there were other lesser known american bands that adopted the sound, like the drop nineteens, but they are largely lost in obscurity at this point. medicine also had a similar sound. dinosaur was definitely a great band. " funny" anecdote: i saw my bloody valentine open for dinosaur in 1992 (on valentine's day, no less), attended by mostly dinosaur fans. mbv ended their set with a massive crescendo of deafening noise, and i looked around at the dinosaur fans and there were more than a few faces with the "wtf" look. when the crescendo finally fell away (after about 12 minutes!) the dinosaur fan next to me said to her friend "what the fuck was *that*?!?" |

|
|
my bloody valentine and cocteau twins sound nothing alike, either... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
more alike to eachother than either to dinosaur jr. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
could be worse, i suppose... |
||||||||
|
|

yes - i am not arguing. i just meant that going by this description: "In the mid to late 80s, the heavily effected guitar sound would again be described as the Wall Of Sound. Many times, the guitars were deafeningly loud, instruments would blend together, virtually indistinguishable from one another. Vocals are usually very low in the mix and chords are played with a heavy hand on the whammy bar to create a soaring effect. Beauty through noise." that's a pretty good description of dinosaur, right? that's all i meant. ps - your avatar makes me hate you. ;) |

Great show. Maybe you were at the same show as me? Cat's Cradle - Chapel Hill NC? |
||||||||
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|
slowdive....be sure to also check out Just For A Day, especially tracks: Catch The Breeze, Primal (God, I love that song) and Celias Dream Ride - Nowhere is also pretty good. |
