Kevin ShieldsMember Since May 2003 Last Login 01/06/2004
Gender:Male
Interested inMeeting People for:Friends, Activity Partners
Status:Single
Age:40
Occupation:Recording artist & dyslexia spokesman
Location:United Kingdom
Hometown:Long Island, NY and Dublin, Ireland
Interests:Rearranging my recording studio, bankrupting record labels, the hypnagogic state, gourmet meals, martial arts, breeding chinchillas, smoking lots of dope, watching lots of TV, easy projects, writing fresh and simple material, and just keeping it simple!
Favorite Music:Beach Boys, Burt Bacharach, Beatles, Public Enemy, Sonic Youth, Ramones
Favorite TV Shows:Just about anything, really.
About Me:You may have heard of my band, My Bloody Valentine. Many critics have written about us in very flowery terms. I don't think I understood what they were saying in those reviews half the time. That guy from Phish loves me guitar sounds though. Do me a favor and buy my Lost in Translation soundtrack. Island Records isn't helping me out much these days. Also kids, don't forget to buy our box set that's coming out in early '04.
Who I Want to Meet:Great recording effects designers, more film directors, those with good weed, record labels who understand my fondness for expensive food and all of the time I like to spend in and out of the studio. Just remember... I NO LONGER DO REMIXES!

Ohh shit should I start a thread here trawling for questions here for Mr. Shields, or is that redundant?
I tried trawling through here for ideas for the book a year ago and it all just seemed so redundant to type "Loveless" in the search engine, since almost every single thread came up! Hah.
What I REALLY need is help tracking down any of the people who worked on the album (esp. any of the 57 engineers) now that I got my "high quality" (hah) VOIP on and can make free phone calls to the UK...

Glad to hear that the 33-1/3 book on Loveless is well under way -- been waiting for that one. Sorry, can't think of any good questions off the top of my head, only idiotic/boring ones.

Except for those drums, which haunt me in their determinate sincerity. What the hell is it about them that just...stays there? Do they anchor the music or do they ground it? Because there's something about the rest of it all that feels so fucking free. But those drums -- they bring it all back down to earth, as if sound were not indeterminate at all. As if it were very much finite.
The thing about Loveless is that is should be anything I want it to be. But it isn't.

i hope a version with vocals and less-placeholdery drums comes out on a new mbv album someday because that sounds fantastic

Deb is playing solo shows (as "La Googie") in support of a new split single and she's still in Thurston's band who just announced a show in a couple weeks.

in the aging weirdo perfectionist career track, Kevin has only got two more years to put the finishing touch on that next MBV record before he's older than Brian Wilson when Wilson finally dropped Smile

classic... remember when they were 'definitely' going to have an album out in 2021? they got the NYT and domino to believe it, that generally would have been good enough evidence for me but this is kevin shields we are talking about
missed the revive for the fender blender, but i had the non-kevin shields model about 10-15 years ago, and it quite simply sounded like ass
