I was actually waiting for one more clear sign before definitely declaring a shoegaze revival. And then it came to me.
I guess you could say it started with then-popular My Vitriol (My Vitri-who? exactly.) in 2001, the same year M83 formed. My Vitriol were very clearly influenced by THE shoegazers My Bloody Valentine and were not afraid to show it (hence the name of the band I guess). Then M83 released their first real shoegaze-ish album in 2003 (Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts), this time it was shoegaze with synths. Then Amusent Parks on Fire formed (well, it's one guy, so I guess he didn't so much 'form' as decided to be APOF) which is described more as stargazing then shoegazing (listen to it, it will become clear). 2006 saw the release of the acclaimed album Pet Grief by The Radio Dept.
Now 2007 sees post-shoegaze acts like Silversun Pickups, Air Formation, Film School, A Place to Bury Strangers, The Maps, Blonde Redhead and there is the highly suspicious recent appreciation for Alcian Blue.
The real revival was soooo close I thought...and then the final sign came to me: My Bloody Valentine are going to release a new album...this year!
quick shoegaze-course:
The original: My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow (mp3)
With synths: M83 - Teen Angst (mp3)
Stargazer: Amusement Parks on Fire - You Made Me Realise (My Bloody Valentine cover)
Broke up in 2006: Alcian Blue - Frozen Sleep (link to post with mp3)
indie-shoegaze: Film School - Two Kinds (mp3)
hardest shoegaze you'll ever hear: A Place to Bury Strangers - To Fix the Gash in Your Head (mp3)
m83 with guitars: The Maps - Elouise (mp3)
Sonic Youth adepts: Blonde Redhead - 23 (mp3)

My bloody valentine with a new record!!!! That's good news... I hope they will tour again!
They're gonna tour, but as of yet only in the UK :(
The name "My Vitriol" has very little to do with My Bloody Valentine, it's in fact a tribute to Brighton Rock, a novel by Graham Greene in which the main character carries a little bottle of vitriol (sulphuric acid) with him at all times.
Anyhow, good blog, I didn't know MBV were planning a new release.

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.wilantion.ru]Viagra 100mg pills[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
Genial dispatch and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you for your information.
