Show Description for Thursday 02/14/2008

Hopefully you've heard the blissful wash of classic shoegaze. We'll take a look at what people have done with the sound since the original scene broke up. The first half of the show is a tromp through styles that should be integrated into shoegaze while the second half covers bands ranging from doom metal to electronica to psych pop that have refashioned the sound to their own purposes. Local writer Adam Kendall reads his newest short stories and I read a shoegaze-y poem of my own.

There is also an inexplicable affinity for violins...
