The Return Of My Bloody Valentine

hee hee, Tool just played a big festival out here, and I think they went on after .... Widespread Panic. Wonder if there were any middle fingers during that set.

Tool fans are an insular, tribal sort. I bet it had less to do with MBV and more to do with the fact that it was not Tool.

Anyone know how Tool fans reacted to King Crimson, Isis, Meshuggah and other past opening acts?

maybe not though ... might be a different thing if it's a festival setting or if it's a band that the mighty Tool have deigned worthy to open for them.

btw, MBV were pretty excellent last night at the Way Out West festival in Göteborg, Sweden.

I saw tool once b/c a friend had an extra ticket she couldn't get rid of. Tomahawk opened for them. There was a lot of heckling and middle fingers, but I'm not sure how much of that was because Mike Patton wouldn't stop insulting the audience and hoe much was because tool fans are dicks.
ps-tool were boring. The only show I've ever fallen asleep at.

So, as the "wall" is part of the last song, were the tool fans fingerhappy during the rest of the set?

Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere (it would take forever to check all the MBV posts on all the threads):

tweets outta atp: MBV are playing Sometimes. Oh my goodness something aaargh

Things yelled at Kevin during ATP set, and Kevin's reply:

"Play new stuff!"
(away from the mic but still remotely audioble) "no"

"Honey Power"
"ok"

"Loomer"
"cant remember the tuning"

ha ha i think that may have been my companion shouting for loomer

A new album you say?

Fwiw the RDS alb is super rad.

Yes, I know. Because it's MBV.

They've aged well.

I think they're just masters of disguise.

That fake looking moustache isn't fooling anyone.

wat

We are very proud to announce the re-mastered versions of Loveless and Isn't Anything are due for release on Monday 7th May.

We will also be releaseing a brand new compilation, EP's 1988-1991, which will include the 4 EP's from that period, plus other rare and previously unreleased tracks. Stay tuned for more.... MBV.

Please note, no year specified.

ooh, 3 unreleased tracks, Angel, Good for You, How Do You Do It (are these the same as those Kevin/Belinda/Cowboy songs from a while back?)

xp lol. also, 'releasing' is spelled wrong so they were obviously hacked.

"Sugar" is so amazing - its the wooziest song ever. glad it will finally see a proper release.

will buy everything

sweet lawd

These will prob be the first legit new CDs I have bought for like a year

EP's

no vinyl

:(

oh, but you haven't seen that interview shields did not too recently tho, no? he emphasized his love for vinyl and how premium packaging would be in the vinyl. or that he would package cd's with the vinyl rather than have a "lesser" version. something along those lines. might be found up-thread.

altho i imagine it'll follow standard formatting: cd version, vinyl version

wait - what didn't i read?

I read that interview, he was referring to his own label, not to Sony.

would buy vinyl version with CD included, love it when bands do that (school of seven bells, M83)

darn darn.

still kinda bewildered sony both has an irish adjunct and that mbv has chosen this. i thought shields & co. all lived in london at this point?

am i right in thinking this must be the only thing NOT on these that came out in the 90s?

also their cover of map ref 41N 93W

does it have the track they did with mark eitzel reading something from that red hot comp?

"Incidental One"

and "Incidental Peace" with Skylab

The Wire cover really really should be on there as well.

I'd like a good copy of "2" while we're asking.

Also the remix of "Soon" is missing
