There's tons of amazing dream-pop/shoegaze. Yo La Tengo, Cocteau Twins, Pity Sex, etc. etc. etc.

  Slowdive!

    Hahaha! So damn funny you said that. Right after I commented, I realized, huh, I forgot Slowdive and didn't bother editing it. It's so good to see them back together. I've seen them in Boston and Austin TX and can't wait to see them again... such an incredible show... Their new album is great but to me, you can't beat Souvlaki. I also own some of Rachel Goswell's glassware. Hahaha!

      I saw them in Sweden a few years back right at their reunion, but while I still listen to a lot of shoegaze I think I might prefer Neil Halsteads solo stuff more, and the old Mojave 3 stuff, even if the genres are very different. Either way it's apparent he can make great music. Even though I'm a grumpy 30 something, I do appreciate the last decade's revival of shoegaze. There's a lot of great new stuff. Everything from the more popular DIIV, Wild Nothing, Beach House, Beach Fossils (theme?) to more obscure stuff like LAUNDER, Scuba Dvala, Ringo Deathstarr, Blouse, Lowtide, JAWS, the Bilinda Butchers (a bit on the nose), etc.

        That's fair. I really enjoy Neil's solo stuff too, and of course Mojave 3. Ringo Deathstarr is super fun. Would love to see them live. The 'revival' has definitely brought along some solid bands. And as for the mid-90s emo revival, I really like Evan Weiss' projects, namely Into It. Over It but he has a ton more (Pet Symmetry, etc.). There's a lot of great newer music if you know where to look.
