Tonight was a compilation kind of night. I featured tracks from the upcoming “We Are The Beautiful” 4-CD box set that tracks the development of the shoegaze genre over the past 20 years. I also spun a track from L.A. based Tombstones In Their Eyes, which is from the recently released shoegaze/dreampop box set called “Mind Your Mind,” and honored Sinéad O’Connor, with her passing being 3 years ago today.

Plus, we heard brand new music from Johnny Marr, Night Tapes, She’s Green, and much, much more along with your fave shoegaze, dreampop and post-punk classics.

There were also a few new tracks with a 4AD record label connection, which included Stefano Guzzetti, inspired by This Mortal Coil, and features artwork by ex-4AD graphic designer Timothy O’Donnell.

We also featured The Veldt, whose new video is inspired by 4AD graphic designer Vaughan Oliver. We heard a brand-new single from 4AD vets, The Wolfgang Press, who worked with Chris Bigg of 4AD’s V23 graphic design studio on their new album artwork. And, of course, it was all mixed in with your favorite shoegaze, dreampop, and post-punk classics.
