Milk Milk Lemonade: Sorting the Shoe(gaze) Cupboard

It honestly came as a complete surprise when we found our blog listed on several other websites as being shoegaze-related. Don't get me wrong, it is very much appreciated. It just got us thinking that it might be a good idea to go back and sort through our posts and figure out how we earned this particular distinction. After spending some time listening and falling in love all over again, it became obvious we needed to do something about it. To be clear, some of these songs are not pure shoegaze by classic or even nouveau standards, but there is enough of an influence involved to include them. In any case, this will serve as a quick reference and entertaining way to waste a few moments of your time... These are some of our favorites.

And Another Thing...

Just to be clear... we are not paid for doing this. Both of us are gainfully employed & just do this for fun, because we both love discovering good music and want to share it with anyone who's prepared to listen!
The vast majority of the songs featured on here have been made freely available for download by the bands themselves - although we prefer to host the songs we feature so as not to cause bandwidth problems for anyone. We only feature music we're seriously impressed by (you won't find anything negative on here, this is about seeking out the good stuff!) so if you like what you hear, please do support the artists by buying an album or going to a show.
Of course, if you are in one of the bands featured and no longer wish your song to be posted on here, just let us know and we'll take it down straight away.
Speaking of discovering good music... if you think we might enjoy yours, please get in touch... we'd love to hear from you!
