The Friday Night Parkdale Special
Music:Music History
On this week's show, we take a look at the roots and peak of shoegaze in the 80s and early 90s. The excellent box set I reference in the episode can be found on Cherry Red Records website, and there's a solid post on Reddit about the history of shoegaze. Pitchfork's top 50 shoegaze albums is also an excellent read (though the pagination chafes my butt - just use an infinite scroll!), and this New York Times article from 1991 provides a cool window into the attitudes of the time.
