shoegazing is as good a term as grunge rock. media types tried hard to think of a name of a sound that was more than indie. college rock and artrock were used up so, they are miserablists with long fringes that never look up, so shoegazing became the name. long live shoegazing. great works are to be had. i was 15 around the time of the great shoegazing phenonemon so its a major influence on me... some albums to have to hold to love to hear are...

RIDE only this one "nowhere" and the e.ps. released in states as the smile album

i love you rachel!!!
