Not really. I listen to more of the nu-gaze/shoegaze bands currently (or recently) making music:
Malory
Fleeting Joys
Air Formation
The Daysleepers
The Radio Dept.
Highspire
The Morning After Girls
Skywave
God Is an Astronaut
The High Dials
lovesliescrushing
Ulrich Schnauss
Airiel
Sennen
Experimental Aircraft
Soundpool
The Black Angels
I have tried to get into the Classic shoegaze stuff, but do not like it as much as the new bands (I do not hate it, and have a ton of it in my collection). I could add another 70 bands to the above list of shoegaze and dreampop bands I dig more than the old bands.
(Also, i do realize not all of the aforementioned bands are shoegaze, they were the ones I dig most from Jag's list)

^ Not showing up on my list but I'm sure you would agree with being represented are:
93MillionMilesFromTheSun
Presents For Sally
The Golden Awesome
The Fauns
Oh, and how in the world did SPC-ECO not show up there!?! I've listened to them a ton of times and love them like crazy. Maybe it's the multiple spellings of their name that skews the charts.
* The Golden Awesome's album was one of my very favorites for 2012. So sorry I could not make it to their show when they were in DC, especially since they came all the way from New Zealand. Probably never get that chance again. Love where I'm living but it's sure completely killed my show life. :'(
Edit:
LOL. Oh, my. Just entered The Golden Awesome into the meter and got this:
"95.8%
None of the users indexed by the Obscurometer have the golden awesome in their top 50 artists lists. Because of this, the Obscurometer can not show top listener data for this artist."
Guess I need to go do something about that for them.
Not sure what I find odder, my general obsurity level or how many people I know in the listener lists for the more obscure bands. Goes to show that we all kind of stick together.
Also, I think Kosmo deserves recognition and I too would love to see Az's list. Too bad he deleteed his account a long time ago. The only reason he wouldn't get a 100% would be due to that pesky My Bloody Valentine becoming so Mainstream, sort of, since their tour. Somebody always has to ruin things. ;)
