About me:

..i run an online radio station that's devoted to best of shoegaze, dreampop, independent and electronic music. i call it vertigo. click here to listen now (you may need to hold down the "ctrl" key when you click on the link if you have a popup blocker installed)... or visit my website at www.shoegazeradio.com . it's currently under construction, but will one day be a nice resource for shoegaze fans and artists alike.

if you make shoegaze music or feel that a certain song would fit on the station, please send me a link to or an mp3 of the song, or send me a message and i'll give you a mailing address to send a cd.

my vision for the station is for it to be a place where shoegaze fans can hear a mix of classic gazey tunes that never get old and new shoegaze music to keep us all current on latest in the genre. mixed in for good measure are songs to complement the shoegazing mood (kid tested, shoegazer approved, of course!). if you are a fan of shoegaze music or a purveyor of shoegazing bliss, i'd love to hear from you.

thanks for listening and gaze on!

..
Who I'd like to meet:
all the listeners of my station! if you tune in, send me a message to say hello!

if you send a friend request, you can stay current on weekly adds to the station and get copies of monthly charts, which i post in bulliten form

Hey Jim,

Police might be coming to your door soon to inquire if we have any family members that might have escaped from any mental hospitals soon.
I told them no, and they left a picture with me, telling me that if I see this person to please call the authorities immediately!!

Long time, no speak. Hope all goes well. I would point out that you're nearly a year behind on the Vertigo charts, but that just wouldn't be nice so I won't. ;)

Keep up the good work. I continue to be introduced to wonderful music on Vertigo.

Hey, thanks! Coming from you, that's quite a nice compliment.


One of my shows will be replaced with something else very soon but I need to do a little work on it yet. Have another idea cooking up but that's too soon yet to make any solid decisions. Can't post about it yet publically anyway.


Really wish I could afford more server space because I would have several other somewhat different yet compatable shows but that won't happen unless some big chunks of money come my way.
We can thank those evil protectionist racket mobsters at CRB for that!

Good to hear from you! I was just wondering the other day what was going on with you. Keep in touch.

Hey Jim ! It's been a long time !

Our 2nd CD is now out thru Projekt. It's called "Different Shade of Beauty."

It has 17 songs in all totalling 77 minutes.

You can check out our latest video also for the 3rd song - "Nothing's Wrong" - from our new CD.

We hope to have a post from you soon.

Very truly yours,
