MBV is doing a pre-coachella show (for those too busy/lazy/scared/not interested/-$ to attend Coach with the capt and I) this Thursday at El Rey. Apparently Throbbing Gristle is doing the same thing as MBV at the Ricardo Montalban, but I think one TG show a year is enough for me.

Capt and I are working on the tickets, but be sure to voice up if you are interested.

Sadly they do come out to $49 a piece with ticketmaster charges.

AKAK http://truersourcesofsound.com/?p=1344 With the announcement of My Bloody Valentine playing on Sunday night at Coachella, it is only fitting that we here at TSS should all become more well versed in the genre of shoegaze. Personally, I am hoping to sail through previously uncharted waters of the shoegaze movement. For those of you who are not familiar with the genre, you might be asking yourself,  “What the ****  is this shoegaze?” Well, to be honest I am not really sure myself. What I do know is that it is used to describe MBV; consequently, it is heavily layered with sprinkles of a light female voice. Other descriptors one might use are: Sonic, Dream-like, Meditative, etc. In the end, my belief is that shoegaze is any form of music which helps define the truth through introspection.

I asked five regular participates of the TSS crew to give us their selections which meet their own criteria for shoegaze. Some of our more versed listeners might debate whether these songs fit the true definition of shoegaze but remember these monthly cds are about expansion of the musical mind, attempting to melt away the prejudices keeping us from fully experiencing sound.

I am just as excited as the next guy about exploring these tunes. Enjoy.
