  • Gregg Araki is an American filmmaker and avid CD collector. In his films, he serves as director, writer, producer, and often editor, and he has consistently featured shoegaze music heavily in their soundtracks. Araki's eighth film, Mysterious Skin (2004), received extensive critical acclaim, including a nomination for Best Director from the Independent Spirit Awards and a win for the Jury Prize at the Bergen International Film Fest. His most recent film, Smiley Face (2007), was a stoner comedy starring Ana Farris.

    Finally, after watching untold dozens of these things, someone who actually is buying obscure stuff rather than lame dad-rock / "canon" albums. Having seen The Doom Generation, I already knew he was into good music, but it's still a thrill to see that shoutout to early Slowdive. And that Airiel album is a really revved-up take on shoegaze.
