We're on vacation this week in British Columbia, staying in a beachfront cabin. The weather is, of course, typical for the Pacific Northwest in November: cold, gray, frequently rainy, almost always overcast. Even the sand on the beaches is a dark brownish-gray.
The other day, we were in a local brewery sampling the fare. They had a playlist heavy on '90s shoegaze (along with a lot of its adjacent music, such as The Cure). After a few songs, my wife said, "I think shoegaze is beach music, for the kind of beaches we have here."
