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!
