New docu to delve into shoegaze
One of my current music related obsessions is music history. I have been voraciously reading artist biographies and interesting music related books. I also love watching the various rock documentaries that have come out over the last couple of decades. I loved UK/DK as well as the Ramones’ documentary, End of the Century.
One docu-film that I am excited about is Beautiful Noise, which is about Shoegaze — probably one of my most favorite music genre. This new documentary attempts to trace the development of shoegaze and how the works of such pioneers as My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain influenced artists that came much later like Trent Reznor and Wayne Coyne (who both appear in the film). I am so stoked to see this movie! I hope filmmaker Eric Green, who is currently editing the film, will finish post production soon.

I’m with you on Eric Green’s doc. I can’t WAIT.
Since you dig shoegaze, you should check these bands out: The Sleepover Disaster, The Meeting Places, and The Stevenson Ranch Davidians. They’re all incredible.

Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll definitely look them up. Are you mainly a shoegaze fan? My current fave right now is Film School, I still can’t get over the fact that they’re an American band. They sound so British!
