It is refreshing to know someone else who listens to Blind Mr. Jones. To know another Black Man who enjoys shoegaze music. You are discussing bands only I seem to enjoy. My friends are clueless about this great genre. We would have fun swapping stories and thoughts.
And again we must take into account that taste good or bad is not universal. I can imagine they weren't able to create the hypnotic effect of the music live. I still love their first album.
i just stumbled upon this and i really enjoyed watching this. this guy is just showcasing stuff and talking about it and saying what he wants to, awesome.
I love shoegaze but didn't really appreciate it until recently. Verve's a storm in heaven was the first one I heard but recently I found a band called ninth paradise on youtube and the sounds incredible. It's an amazingly catchy genre
Ugh! Yes......blind mr jones where so underrated ......this record is so gorgeous , I love your breakdown of the genre and how it's on a continuum and super emotional
Shoegaze is a style I'm just getting into, but I'm loving everything I hear so far, it's definitely becoming one of my favourite genres. I love your passion!
I hear ya, dereckvon. I felt that blind mr jones as soon as it started building up, pretty powerful stuff. And my,my, what a serious collection of akin music you're acquiring! Proud of ya and especially for the respect and acknowledgement of the British bands, you're a Legend!
Thank you dereckvon, because of your videos I have been introduced to a world of only good bands/artists A lot of records that I will never forget in my life
The magic of music and youtube. I went from blasting huge stoner rock sounds from Fu Manchu to watching this review to listening to the Blind Mr Jones album posted here. I say thank you, I was in dire need of new sounds.
The best part about the label “shoegaze” is that it initially was used as an insult from mass music media critics. It’s a nice middle finger to the ones who keep genuinely amazing music unknown.
Dude, u are as dope as it gets! I'm looking at all these vinyl collection of yours like a straight man looking at her beloved one. I'm jealous, lol! I fucking love Shoegaze. *Blind Mr. Jones* is sure one of the most underrated Shoegaze band, ever!
I found a Moose CD single a couple of years ago and it sounded great. I was wondering how they didn't get any airplay on radio stations at the time, 1990's. Another shoegazey find at a thrift store was a band out of Detroit called Majesty Crush. They have a shoegazey sound but an unusual set of lyrics for that kind of music.
Just what I needed today. Thanks. I'm glad you show cds. The vinyl is certainly funner to look at but I would not have learned about Blind Mr Jones without that cd. You even played a file from your computer the other day and mentioned the band and I was writing it down. My list is ridiculous.
i too am a black male... i'm also a Hip-Hop artist... the song that inspired me to do any type of music was "When You Sleep" by My Bloody Valentine... another black guy introduced it to me in 1998... BLEW MY MIND. I'd never heard of the genre of shoegaze and it was like a baptisms. Look, thats the great thing about music, it opens your mind and emotions to new levels and people that dont listen to different types of music are only denying themselves no matter the color. one.
Wow!!!! Blind Mr. Jones is so great! Loving that! I know what you mean about the term "shoegaze." SO much can go under that. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the band Black Tambourine, which I consider shoegaze, but others consider "tween pop" - does it matter? They are just incredible, and that's what matters....
If anyone looking for shoegaze check out Coaltar Of The Deepers, songs of theirs that stand out to me are "Sarah III" and "Prophet Proved" are some highlights in my eyes, they're Japanese but will sometimes speak broken English so most of the lines you won't understand but they're my favorite band check them out.
Excellent post, Dereck. I caught Secret Flowers' first video this past weekend - excellent stuff. Gotta tune in for the second one he posted. Thanks for the shoutout! I was sent that Autumn's Grey Solace back when it came out, but it didn't really do anything for me - I don't know, maybe it reminded me a little too much of the Cocteaus. But man, that Blind Mr. Jones in the background was something special - will be seeking that one out for sure. - Bret

Are you into Arizona's Half String?
I really like this guy, great taste in music and his voice is great to listen to. He's like the Morgan Freeman of good music.
I agree with that statement.
He said "I find this music to be completely full of soul" ....damn straight. Me too!!!
I discovered a few new bands from your post. Thank you sir!!!!
You, Sir.. have the best taste in music in the world.
I sensed a kindred spirit immediately.
i agree about the soul part, shoegaze is like the blues, full of soul
But is it as full of soul as... SOUL?
2:18 you've summed up my feelings exactly. Thank you for introducing me to Blind Mr. Jones - almost 8 years ago now!
Jesus! You just mentioned SeeFeel! You have AMAZING taste, sir.
If you were my neighbor I’d be politely intruding every day to listen to that vinyl.
Love shoegaze, never heard of
Blind Mr Jones , but thank you for sharing this because they sound lovely ✌️
Lilys were one of my favorite shoegaze bands from the early 90's...along with Chapterhouse.
You're a delight, you're profoundly well informed, and you have fantastic taste! Thanks for spreading the gospel!
totally agree, shoegaze sounds like distorted Beatles on 16rpm
And again we must take into account that taste good or bad is not universal. I can imagine they weren't able to create the hypnotic effect of the music live. I still love their first album.
This is FANTASTIC coverage! A great find.
i just stumbled upon this and i really enjoyed watching this. this guy is just showcasing stuff and talking about it and saying what he wants to, awesome.
Thank you for opening me up to so many great and obscure shoegaze bands!
oh I love this, thank you Dereck
I could listen to you talk about music for hours, man.
Blind Mr Jones...never heard of em but thanks for the heads up
...and that collection, sweet Jesus
I love shoegaze but didn't really appreciate it until recently. Verve's a storm in heaven was the first one I heard but recently I found a band called ninth paradise on youtube and the sounds incredible. It's an amazingly catchy genre

Shoegaze is a style I'm just getting into, but I'm loving everything I hear so far, it's definitely becoming one of my favourite genres. I love your passion!
Interesting stuff. +1 The Boo Radleys
For Against are one of the greatest unsung bands (esp out of the US). Looks like reissues are imminent on the Captured Tracks label
Awesome video, I take my hat off to you, sir. Toodlepip

Awesome man, Shoegazing has always been one of my favorite genres.
Wow!! Thank you! Blind Mr Jones is amazing!
Just bought the complete blind mr Jones cd set thanks to this video. I love Catherine Wheel and Slowdive and so these sound super good!
The best part about the label “shoegaze” is that it initially was used as an insult from mass music media critics. It’s a nice middle finger to the ones who keep genuinely amazing music unknown.
Some amazing tipps! Thank you!
wonderful knowledge of the music scene,and an amazing collection of albums
dude I love this
Oh wow someone who knows Blind Mr Jones! I knew them from Marlow, UK
It's nice to see another shoegazer on RUclips, good work.
Thankyou Sir for introducing me to Blind Mr. Jones. The first song you played floored me. I HAD to find out what that was!
Thanks for the recommendation
I think out of all the bands I've learned through you, Blind Mr. Jones is my favorite. And I agree; it does feel completely full of soul
amazing analysis👍
Dude, u are as dope as it gets! I'm looking at all these vinyl collection of yours like a straight man looking at her beloved one. I'm jealous, lol!
I fucking love Shoegaze. *Blind Mr. Jones* is sure one of the most underrated Shoegaze band, ever!
You're legendary
Dereck you stay well.a much needed old soul...
Blind Mr Jones are great! Im also very glad to have found your channel.
Your knowledge of bands of any given genre is impressive.
Autumn's Grey Solace! I love that you mentioned them. Absolutely wonderful band.
I found a Moose CD single a couple of years ago and it sounded great. I was wondering how they didn't get any airplay on radio stations at the time, 1990's. Another shoegazey find at a thrift store was a band out of Detroit called Majesty Crush. They have a shoegazey sound but an unusual set of lyrics for that kind of music.
Can’t get enough of Seefeel.
It's so cool to see an older gentleman into this.
Just what I needed today. Thanks.
I'm glad you show cds. The vinyl is certainly funner to look at but I would not have learned about Blind Mr Jones without that cd.
You even played a file from your computer the other day and mentioned the band and I was writing it down. My list is ridiculous.
This is a rad video.
"Not really shoegaze but just damn good!"
Blind Mr Jones sounds great!! I will check them out for sure, Thanks.
I knew you were going to chime in first on this one Stevie. You are the shoegaze king of the VC~
Rob/Boston
your my spiritual musical uncle.......great shout for blind mr jones!
I just love the frankness in the way you express your opinion, Andy. Much respect.
This is someone which knows and a real music lover in his blood. Salute you Sir.
Yes I agree British music has evolved to another dimension. I like your style!
Thanks for the tips! Gonna check some of these band out! :)
Glad you caught this, Bret. Much respect to you.
Misunderstood. I haven't abandoned the music. Still burns in my heart. I meant abandon as in following as a trend. I still listen to what I love.
Man you have great taste in music yes yes MUSIC. So much stuff out that is without shame calling themselves music or musicians
And also ty for introducing me into a couple other bands

Pale Saints

Dude, you're freaking awesome. You should seriously considering doing album reviews or something.

A recommendation for modern shoegaze should definitely go to Whirr. I'm expecting big things out of them...
This is dude is freaking awesome! Subscribed :^)

Well said my friend
I have been a big fan of shoegaze since I discovered Swervedriver back in the 90's. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and Blind Mr. Jones...
Wow!!!! Blind Mr. Jones is so great! Loving that! I know what you mean about the term "shoegaze." SO much can go under that. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the band Black Tambourine, which I consider shoegaze, but others consider "tween pop" - does it matter? They are just incredible, and that's what matters....
WOW...YOu Are a true trooper...Great to find the music I love appreciated by other people...I too see British Music as a continium...
