Thanks to all those who submitted t-shirt designs. I got about 15 different designs and they were all great. I notified the winner but will also keep all the other submissions for future versions.

There’s been lots of chatter about Shoegaze on the net recently. I’m not sure exactly how you describe that genre besides the already descriptive term applied to it. In the 80′s it was easy to focus in on it because there were only a couple labels releasing that type of music so you knew if it was on Creation or Rough Trade then it was part of that genre.
Maybe now that Jesus and Mary Chain are reforming/reuniting there could be a resurgence and a new home for these bands. Fountainblue is leading the way in Sweden; their new release is out now on Luxury.

P.S. Songs:Illinois has new stuff from “Scandinavian cult sensation?” Olav Larsen & The Alabama Rodeo Kings. This was something I nearly post on Swedesplease months ago despite the fact that Olav is from Norway.
