Da Vids thread

Layne is a good vocalist don't get me wrong, but the point of Kevin and Bilinda's vocals are not to "sound good" from a vocal stand point but to add something of an ethereal feeling to the music. Often times on will find that in shoegaze there is the idea of vocals as an instrument, rather than to convey lyrics that are understandable.
 
All vocals are an instrument yes, but not all voices work together with the music as well as they do in bands like My Bloody Valentine.
 
I've only put one video of my own up on Youtube, and it's this street performer I saw in Dresden, Germany, who does the robot if you put a couple Euro's in his collection cup. The quality sucks because I shot it with my digital photo camera, which takes short video clips.

This is the "underground" emo I like :)

Orchid - ...And the Cat Turned to Smoke


Just not my cup of tea

I didn't say they didn't, just that I feel in general shoegaze has vocals that mesh into the music and become a part of it as opposed to something connected to it but still separate.
I see what you mean.
While we're on A.I.C...my favorite song by them.
