oh my...complete opposite of shoegazer in my book. baggy all the way!!

the most perfect example of the ultimate shoegazer band, IMHO, is Slowdive.
Some silly brit journalist did a live review of, I believe, Slowdive
(correct me if I'm wrong, anyone) and commented on how when they played they
were all constantly gazing at their shoes...so of course another one of
those ever-so-handy labels was born....
