Verbally and mentally fluid, you are refreshing and illuminating to those around you. This is occasionally somewhat discounted by the obvious pleasure that you take in exercising your mental acuity. Although generally peaceful you can often take a verbally aggressive tact in relations with the world, which can often be misunderstood by those around you. Innovative in the extreme, you can often think yourself right out of the correct answer to a given problem. Many times you are referred to as your own worst enemy. You tire very quickly of routine and so make poor clerks or administrative help. You also have no respect for authority and little patience for those you regard as inferior, most especially those in charge. Experimentation is your watchword and can occasionally lead to experience for its own sake and shallow decadence. Your thought can sometimes be scattered and disconnected.

Sounds accurate enough, but we suspect everyone gets the same easy-to-relate-to result. Anyone got something else?

CATCHING UP WITH SHOEGAZE : PART FOUR

Welcome to Part 4 of the “Catching Up With Shoegaze” mixtape series. This set is 90 minutes of dream pop and shoegaze excellence. I dug out some deeper cuts than usual on this one, and couldn’t not include them all - hence the extra large tracklist this week. Also, I didn’t hew too heavily to any year, it’s a solid mix across the board. So with that being said, here’s another little mix of songs from bands that were the inspiration for, inspired by, or the epitome of the music scene generally referred to as shoegaze.
