Another Monday, another day to reflect on the mundane. It's also time for another weekly installment of Look Back In Anger, where we look back through a tiny tiny lens on one artist that I happen to think is important. When I'm out and about on the steets and someone recognizes me I usually get asked one of two questions. The first being: "Hey, is the express train down this way?" The second being: "Kevin, what is Shoegaze?" And in response to that latter, I must say, "Shoegaze is not a thing, its a way of life, bro." Is it the sound of the wind rustling the pine bows of winter-logged Fir trees, gathered along the coast? No, it is not. Is it the sound of a leaky fawcet that wakes you from a foggy dream about fluorescent clouds that drift into your bedroom and drip rainbow candy onto your head? More or less, yes, it is. If I had to pick a band to introduce someone to this furtive genre I would pick My Bloody Valentine, but a close runner up would undoubtedly be Slowdive. Recently my mind evaporated when the internet announced Slowdive's reunion. The band is reuniting after 20 years, to do a new album and play new shows. It seems only too appropriate that we at Bigfoot Sightings report this astounding news from the world of Dream-Pop. Bellow watch one of the few clips for Slowdive, where they swirl through a field of wild flowers and get lost in their guitars and the sky. Stay tuned to LBS for all the latest shoegaze and Slowdive news to come!

It Never Stops
Shoulda Woulda Coulda. I missed Deerhunter on the Round Robin Tour due to rain, ok!? Fuck it really sucks..especially since Taddio saw them the day before. Anyway, here's a recent, sweet performance they put on for We Have Signal. The quality is top notch so you should peep this and grow as aggravated as myself for missin out.
In other news, I saw My Bloody Valentine- nuff said.:

MBV Coachella
Need an incentive for buying the 80dollar, 1 day tickets at All Points West this August? Well how bout My Bloody Valentine are playing and they seem to have obliterated the crowd at Coachella recently, so I'm guessing it will be similar in NY?
