Re: Shoegaze
Agree with the Lush.
How about some Explosions in the Sky, or The Album Leaf or Mogwai?

Personally, i've always felt "shoegaze" to be a very limited, niche genre. It was well and good when i was a moody, depressed college kid. But we all grow up, and life's frankly more serious than the sentiments of this music express. I guess, if it gets you though whatever and scores your sentimental gloom, that's great. Once you've got bills and job deadlines, the adolescent "charm" kind of wears off...
