NOT THE ONLY ONE

Dennis Cooper laments the demise of the shoegazer over at his ever-good blog:

"Shoegazer had a charisma that's kind of missing at the moment, at least on a scale larger than one or two bands at a time. England does seem awfully, strangely drab on the music front these days for the most part, and the question is why."

He includes YouTube footage of My Bloody Valentine, Lush, Boo Radleys, Ride, and Chapterhouse among his Top 10 (though not, as one commenter bemoans there, The Telescopes).

My Bloody Valentine hold forth back in the day discussing their influence on shoegazing for BBC's Rapido (with added Peel factor):

Dennis Cooper and also Gregg Araki (check the soundtrack to Nowhere, for starters) -- anyone know Larry Clark's opinions on the genre?
