The Return Of My Bloody Valentine

so, after all, what else has he got to do ..

this is seriously one of the great unanswered questions of the 21st century

he is surely one of the most prominent procrastinators of all time

i believe the record is done, though i can't see how it would be possible for it to be released by the end of the year unless it's already being pressed

digital release ?

he just needs a good weekend in the studio

Just needs a bit of luck, he's obviously had quite a few 'bad weekends' in the last, oooh, 20 years.

Stuff just keeps coming up. He was going to work on it on the weekend of August 29, 1998, for example, but at the last second he realized that he really needed to make a big trip to the store to pick up some hard-to-find ingredients for a big dinner party he was hosting on the 31st. And then on the 15-16 of March 2003 he was supposed to have some free time but then his Uncle made an unexpected visit and he had to show him around the city for the millionth time. "Jeez Uncle Terry, I'm trying to made a record here! Guess I'll have to work on it next weekend..." Then of course on April 9th, 2005 it started raining really hard just when he was about to head out the door to the studio....

this is not just procrastinating, it's pro crastinating

i'm not a businessman i'm kevin shields man

so, after all, what else has he got to do ..

this is seriously one of the great unanswered questions of the 21st century

he has spent large chunks of the 21st century visibly touring or playing with Primal Scream and J Mascis and My Bloody Valentine and Patti Smith tbf, he's been vastly more productive than the post-Loveless '90s

also the chinchillas

^^^the name of the forthcoming MBV record, i believe

Alternately just call it FuzzBastards.

i hope they call it Third.

Pantsless

"Do You Realize (You're Not Wearing Any Pants)?"

Awesome. Seeing them play next Feb.

Only when I sleep (in my pants)

Never gonna happen.

you said that about the re-release...

(probably)

Yeah, that was him alright...

I wonder if the fabled "slowed-down drum'n'bass" stuff will be on it. I mean doesn't that already describe "Soon" fairly accurately?

Love the idea of new MBV album being their version of Neu 2.

I just hope it sounds like an early Curve record with more ethereal vocals and maybe some handclaps.

& some raps by kev & colm, for sure

i hope it sounds like ringo deathstarr

i'm going as the incredible hulk

i hope it sounds like ringo deathstarr

serious IRL lols

I don't think that describes Soon at all to be honest. Yes, there's a breakbeat, and er not much else. From what I've read the experiments in that area were more about catching the feeling of space, and of the half-time/double-time aspects of jungle.

Forget about this not happening, this just should not happen.

plenty more MBV-related srs irl lols 4 u here: Your favourite jokes about My Bloody Valentine

hmmm tbh I'm imagining slight but familiar sketches like on the Lost in Translation OST

"slight but familiar" is the name of that thread's dog.

DFA RECORDS ‏@dfarecords
if my bloody valentine release this LP in 2012, and let the world hear what they've been hiding, DFA will give $5,000,000 to donald trump.

lol

i would bet it's not impossible but fairly unlikely, unless every part of the chain is dropping everything else they're doing (heck, i would)

I'm guessing Bandcamp is not an option, or are they out of any contracts after the reissues?

out of contract iirc. their manager should put it out on rocket girl

if vinita could swing that that label would be set. she's had a long difficult road to get to this point, but I admire her more than almost anyone in the music business.

just technically squeaks over the line as a compliment

Says coming soon for me, is it showing something else for you?

coming soon!

last updated in 2004 iirc

Lol. You guys.

The release hinges on the idiosyncratic work patterns and decisions of Shields, Googe explained. "It will definitely come out as it's pretty much finished," she said. "I mean, it's impossible to talk about time with Kevin, but in terms of percentage-wise, he's got one more track he wants to do then that's it. Everything else is recorded."

So one more track? That puts the album out around ... 2019?
