So what would be on the DVD?

ben welsh (benwelsh), Friday, 6 February 2004 23:01 (twenty years ago) link

Live stuff, but hopefully also the video for "Soon" which is one of my favorite things ever. The earlier video for "You Made Me Realise" is great too. It reminded me of Galaxie 500's "Tugboat" video.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 6 February 2004 23:07 (twenty years ago) link

35 minutes? What did everyone do? In London people kind of
jumped around for a couple of minutes then just stared at
each other grinning until the tune eventually kicked in again.

Oh, it was fantastic. Some people staggered away, others just sorta swayed, whole bunch up in front getting into it...

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 February 2004 23:10 (twenty years ago) link

When I saw them do it in NYC, there was some crowdsurfing, some dancing, some people flipping them the bird, but eventually the band beat everyone into slack-jawed submission.

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Sunday, 8 February 2004 12:48 (twenty years ago) link

This seems kinda cool, although I already have pretty much all of it (vids included) on cd/vinyl/vid anyway so I'm not entirely sure wether to shell out. If it ever appears. Hmm.

Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 8 February 2004 12:56 (twenty years ago) link

Actually I wonder if this will sort of lower MBV's critical reputation....

One can but hope

Late '05/Early '06? OPTIMISTIC AT BEST?????

I would really rather not have heard this news at all. Two years is such a long time.

The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Sunday, 8 February 2004 14:53 (twenty years ago) link

I spoke to someone (honest)involved in loveless sessions and he says kevin laid all the songs to tape at the start using just one guitar and vocal then fleshed it out later - ie it was less studio trickery than you might think.

i would *love* to hear 'glider' completed and released as the lp it was always meant to be - essential purchase.

nope, Sunday, 8 February 2004 15:19 (twenty years ago) link

but not if i have to buy all of the boxes! too much money.

Ian Johnson (orion), Sunday, 8 February 2004 19:12 (twenty years ago) link

it does seem kinda extravagant for a box with about 18 potential buyers.

keith m (keithmcl), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:13 (twenty years ago) link

But as one of those buyers, I thank them.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:14 (twenty years ago) link

18 potential buyers??? Judging by the percentage of ILM MBV fans, I guess it would have some more demand... ;)

JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:27 (twenty years ago) link

Sign me up for one too.

Siegbran (eofor), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:38 (twenty years ago) link

people people please don't get too excited about this, the chances of it actually happening are about as likely as scott walker duetting with kraftwerk on a cover of "all the things she said"

the surface noise (electricsound), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:50 (twenty years ago) link

*doodlydoodlydoodly*

ITEM! Some legendary German group to sing with some balding American dude on some Russian duo's song.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:51 (twenty years ago) link

O.O;;;

*weeps*

the end of the world is at hand! it's official!

janni (janni), Monday, 9 February 2004 17:51 (twenty years ago) link

Anybody else notice how pitchfork broke month old news this morning. lame.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 9 February 2004 18:25 (twenty years ago) link

grrr!!! i wish people would stop reporting this as news!! wishful thinking doesn't make it so!!!

the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 9 February 2004 22:06 (twenty years ago) link

Uncut has a feature on MBV this month, and says box set out in like May 2004.

Enrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 09:43 (twenty years ago) link

i'm not even a big fan, but i'm excited about this.

Dave M. (rotten03), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 09:56 (twenty years ago) link

i'm excited for all those people, unlike me, that are excited.

mentalist (mentalist), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 12:40 (twenty years ago) link

So if all the people that are not excited, are excited...

That means everybody is excited.

Out of curiosity, who here will buy the boxsets, and will you buy both?

I'll say yes to both (and apologise to my wallet).

Jedmond, Tuesday, 10 February 2004 12:49 (twenty years ago) link

''LIVE 1987-92 (new quadruple-CD)''

I would buy one boxset just to hear this. All of my fave psych bands have fucking great live CDs and we really need one from them.

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 13:07 (twenty years ago) link

Out of curiosity, who here will buy the boxsets, and will you buy both?

My answer is implicit.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 14:01 (twenty years ago) link

I would buy both. i've only heard other people's tapes of the live loveless era and it would be nice to have that stuff.(i don't count the almost unlistenable/unwatchable bootleg video i bought on ebay. yeesh.)

scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 14:20 (twenty years ago) link

Does anyone else find it completely maddening that the release date is estimated as "late 2005/early 2006 to be optimistic at best?" This is simply way too much time for whatever to happen that prevents this from ever actually seeing the light of day. I'll believe it when I see/hear it. Otherwise, I can't get excited about it.

rainman (rainman), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 15:05 (twenty years ago) link

had i the firstborn child to sell money at the time, i'd probably buy both.

janni (janni), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 15:15 (twenty years ago) link

I never doubted you Ned.

Jedmond, Tuesday, 10 February 2004 15:23 (twenty years ago) link

i've only heard loveless but i've always wanted to hear more,so if i had the money when they came out i would definitely buy them

robin (robin), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 17:44 (twenty years ago) link

had i the firstborn child to sell

Well, you've still got plenty of time to conceive and give birth, so you're set!

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 17:45 (twenty years ago) link

well, since i have no desire whatsoever to have a child at all, that's unfortunately unlikely to happen.

unless you'd like to carry my firstborn for me? c'mon, Ned---it's all for MBV, after all~~! ;)

janni (janni), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 18:06 (twenty years ago) link

FOR THE GOOD OF THE MUSICAL WORLD! I want to have babies.

thank goodness for that, then!

Coming Soon to an ILM Near You! SMFKS!

(Surrogate Mums for Kevin Shields)

what'll you do if those boxes don't come out, though? who else is worth that sort of pain...?

janni (janni), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 18:46 (twenty years ago) link

haha "release date late 2012/early 2106"

amateur!st (amateurist), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 20:13 (twenty years ago) link

Stop being so naive amateur!st, although I admire your confidence.

Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 22:26 (twenty years ago) link

Does anyone else find it completely maddening that the release date is estimated as "late 2005/early 2006 to be optimistic at best?"

what's maddening is that people are still believing this obvious hoax of a tracklisting.

the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 22:53 (twenty years ago) link

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:35 (twenty years ago) link

And this is actually real, is it? Hmm...

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:37 (twenty years ago) link

There are four(!) never released tracks on that second disc. Also, I'm wondering who did the remastering.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:39 (twenty years ago) link

A long version of "Glider" = I am a happy, happy man.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:45 (twenty years ago) link

I'm wondering if it's the same version that backs the 12" single of the Andrew Weatherall mix of "Soon"

Also, I'm thinking it's real because I've never even heard those four unreleased track names. I'll post the cover art here as soon as I see it.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:46 (twenty years ago) link

That first disc would basically be the best MBV album ever.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:51 (twenty years ago) link

Hell yeah. I'm all over this.

adam (adam), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:54 (twenty years ago) link

I'm wondering if it's the same version that backs the 12" single of the Andrew Weatherall mix of "Soon"

That's what I thought...and I hope it isn't, actually.

That first disc would basically be the best MBV album ever.

Both the version I made and the one you made make for good listening. :-)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 19:02 (twenty years ago) link

"Drive It All Over Me" is their most accessible song. I play that for anyone I've ever wanted to 'convert' and they invariably ask "who is this?"

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 19:06 (twenty years ago) link

bump. this is HUGE news!

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 21:23 (twenty years ago) link

Whys it cost 40$? WTF?

The gorgeos lady, Ned. You know, that one.

Venga (Venga), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 17:44 (eighteen years ago) link

le volume courbe actually finished an album? i hope a proper label puts it out this time

jimmy glass (electricsound), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:20 (eighteen years ago) link

From mybloodyvalentine.net:

"From this morning's Channel 4 Ceefax music pages:

"My Bloody Valentine guitarist Kevin Shields and drummer Colm O'Ciosoig play together for the first time since 1991's Loveless album on the debut LP by Le Volume Courbe, aka French singer Charlotte Marioneau. Her eponymous album, out on September 26, also features Hope Sandoval."

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:31 (eighteen years ago) link

is this out?

kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:40 (eighteen years ago) link

there was all this nonsense about Hope & Kevin playing on the LVC Poptones single but my understanding was that it was untrue?

jimmy glass (electricsound), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:30 (eighteen years ago) link

out on September 26

kit brash (kit brash), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:32 (eighteen years ago) link

do you expect me to read every word?

kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 02:27 (eighteen years ago) link

i was sorta hoping you were asking about the box set

jimmy glass (electricsound), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 02:29 (eighteen years ago) link

seven months pass...
did we dream this?

piscesboy, Wednesday, 5 April 2006 17:34 (eighteen years ago) link

When it comes to MBV, you're dreaming until you're holding it in your hand... maybe when you wake, you're still in a dream...

Edward III (edward iii), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 17:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Nah, I got my copy. It's great. Kevin came to my house and dropped it off the other day.

wmlynch (wlynch), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 18:17 (eighteen years ago) link

you're safe in your sleep (from MBV and their empty promises)

hank (hank s), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 18:23 (eighteen years ago) link

one year passes...

i just saw colm at the grocery store again. i was going to ask him about it but didn't have the nerve. he was buying some wine.

akm, Friday, 8 June 2007 03:31 (sixteen years ago) link

Haha I read that as "I was going to ask him out but I didnt have the nerve" ! =)

Trayce, Friday, 8 June 2007 03:46 (sixteen years ago) link

he has hope sandoval at home, so I don't think he'd want me anyway

akm, Friday, 8 June 2007 03:58 (sixteen years ago) link

DRINK some (strawberry?) wine (a bit) next time you hit the grocery, then just appear next to him and casually demand. Works for me.

Sum Fitch, Friday, 8 June 2007 05:50 (sixteen years ago) link

hope sandoval, geez she gets around, I thought she was dating William Reid.

Trayce, Friday, 8 June 2007 08:43 (sixteen years ago) link

maybe 8 years ago or more

electricsound, Friday, 8 June 2007 09:29 (sixteen years ago) link

13 years ago, more like.

baaderonixx, Friday, 8 June 2007 09:35 (sixteen years ago) link

"or more"

electricsound, Friday, 8 June 2007 09:41 (sixteen years ago) link

What happened to her anyway? I remember seeing Mazzy Star around 2000, they only played new songs, but nothing ever came out.

baaderonixx, Friday, 8 June 2007 09:45 (sixteen years ago) link

Please stop teasing me with this thread!! Gah!!

leavethecapital, Friday, 8 June 2007 10:42 (sixteen years ago) link

There was mention of the record label back catalogue person working on MBV material in Rercord Collector last/this month (the one with The WHO on the cover). It was in an article about the reissue market. No details, but sounded pretty legit.

PJ Miller, Friday, 8 June 2007 12:26 (sixteen years ago) link

MBV box set like MBV nother album. yeah, in my dreams.

Masonic Boom, Friday, 8 June 2007 12:48 (sixteen years ago) link

Edward III, Friday, 8 June 2007 13:30 (sixteen years ago) link

What happened to her anyway? I remember seeing Mazzy Star around 2000, they only played new songs, but nothing ever came out.

Her solo album came out the following year and since then nothing except the occasional guest vocals. Last I heard, she sings on one track on the new Massive Attack album.

Elvis Telecom, Friday, 8 June 2007 14:42 (sixteen years ago) link

i get the feeling she's in semi-retirement, it's not like she needs to work with fade into you still being used in every movie soundtrack every; there might be a bit of a perfectionist streak as well. I did see her after the solo album came out (live) and it was an excellent show but they spent so much time getting the sound set up before they played that the wait was ridiculous (something like an hour and a half).
