what about the Bedazzled bands? I would say that Curtain Society, the new
An April March and older Viola Peacock (maybe even Ultracherry Violet)
would fit the bill of 'shoegazer'.

---from that boy, the one in zinc:
> nightblooms? are they still releasing stuff? more college boy rock

Actually, I've been listening to their self-titled album (their first?) a
lot over this past week, especially while at work, and I'm really
beginning to like it more and more. To me, that album sounds a lot like
what I wished Lush would eventually turn into when I heard their first
_Scar_ EP. Feedback-drenched noisy pop songs with layered female
vocals...sound like a description you've heard before? And "Butterfly
Girl"...wow! Twees are bweathing water indeed!
But I never bought the album after that, the one about the Cafe. I heard
it was a lot less dreamy and not near as good, and it got shelved in my
mind. I don't know if one album qualifies them as a shoegazer act. But
then again, now that I think about it...most of those groups only put out
one album, before (a) getting dropped, (b) breaking up, or (c) going in a
different musical direction (usually the worst of all - see also:
Catherine Wheel, _Happy_Days_).

My VCR cut off the first few minutes of AMP last night, so I was
wondering if anyone knows what the first video was. (featured a Japanese
man and woman swimming underwater, as well as random swirly colors)
Of course, being the cynic that I am, I have to say that Amp seems to be
sliding downhill already. Do we really need to see Underworld and the
Chemical Bros. on every episode?? (Much as I like those videos) There are
so many more adventurous things they could be playing (Laika, surely
Seefeel have videos) Obviously, this betrays my own bias, but I thought
with a horrible timeslot like that, surely they're *tryng* to do
something different. Silly me, it's MTV. (though I was amused to see
M/A/R/R/S "Pump Up the Volume")

My top votes go to "Victorialand" and "Treasure" as well. "Heaven or Las
Vegas" and "Milk and Kisses" are also must-haves.
