Celebrating Black Musicians, Composers, and Vocalists in Classical Music

This is your Bloody Valentine: Shoegaze Love Songs
by @EricPandora
"As a lifelong musician, shoegaze was my first love. I tried to get with the Madchester sound, but as a guitarist, I just never was able to bond with wah-wah pedals. Shoegazing seemed to arrive just in time, back in the early 1990s – when grunge was oversaturating the airwaves. Some of us who never even-flowed or snuffed a rooster turned to this innovative music scene that was emerging in England. At first, the shoegaze sound blended the haunting beauty of ‘80s goth with the distorted six-string experiments of indie rock. But shoegaze very soon evolved to take on many different styles within the genre."

Have you read @EricPandora's blog post, "This if your Bloody Valentine: Shoegaze Love Songs"? This got me thinking about all the interesting and varied takes on "love" that musicians have interpreted over the years. Throughout all genres (country, jazz, classical, etc), love has been one of the most reoccurring and endlessly inspirational muses.
