The Return Of My Bloody Valentine

"[The new album is] going to be this 96/97 half-finished record finished, and then a compilation of stuff we did before that in 1993–94, and a little bit of new stuff.

Not exactly a *new* album.

it would have been cooler if they went all crazy like scott walker but i picture them going dull as dishwater like kraftwerk

This is not going to happen and we all know it.

haha

Oh can't you see
I believe I believe I believe

<i>The Boy Who Tremelo'd Wolf</i>

IT WILL SOON TOUCH THE EARS OF HUMANKIND
i can't help myself but their concept of the word "soon" reminds me a little of christian eschatology. in the meantime (before judgement day) i think i will listen to their cover of "we have all the time in the world" again. a perfect swan song if there ever was one.

This is not going to happen and we all know it.

Amazon.com: Reviews for Loveless: Music: My Bloody Valentine

All Hype, September 7, 2006
Reviewer: Robert J. Bruce (Angola, New York United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this album because I am so into Sigur Ros at the moment and it seems all the reviews I read say that "...if you like Sigur Ros you will like MBV.." Let me say this album is no where near a Sigur Ros experience.

and thank fuck for that

poor misguided soul:(

Hahaha.

;_;

Someone make a gif of the Viggo thing.

Okey so there's tickets released on Friday then.

London, Manchester & Glasgow next summer

kinda surprised there isn't more excitement about this!

i hope some US dates follow.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they played Coachella first.

I don't think my ears could take it now. They barely could at 23.

????!

i'm pretty damn excited, i'll be getting roundhouse tickets

if they do cochella i'll hold out hope for an SF date around the same time since Colm still lives up here

Unmissable.

> I don't think my ears could take it now. They barely could at 23.

i have just bought a nice pair of ear plugs. not sure i could take the boredom of YMMR though...

So, London NedFAP in June 2008 then?

Astounding!

I'm pretty much willing to bet April show at Coachella at this point. In which case, I finally go to Coachella and y'all can fly out here instead. As it stands otherwise the lovely weak American dollar and all is giving me pause.

there will definitely be US dates (including SF) but Colm is living in LA at the moment.

rumor has it that these will actually be all-acoustic sets

:(

Man, I would like to Colm rocking the bongos.

...with Japancakes as backing band

WAU

and they haven't changed a bit!

seetickets say they will be selling up to four tickets per person, btw.

kshields interviewed by ian sveonius on annoying vice tv:

I still see Colm Berkeley once a month. Glad to hear they will be playing out here though. This will actually warrant getting a babysitter, for once

where does ian svenonions get off

ian sevonius is hilarious i love his interviews

What an awful interviewer.

I think the word 'tit' is most appropriate.

Wot?

rumor has it that these will actually be all-acoustic sets

this has to be bullshit, surely?

"Though Shields music transcends language, he was kind enough to use language when he spoke with us"

I didn't think I would be but I'm unfeasibly excited about this - trying for tickets for London and Glasgow.

A year and a half ago this news would have caused me to start screaming, quite literally -- zOMGGGGGGGG!!!!, etc. Now, though, as there is no possible way I can attend any of these shows... Wait. Maybe I can go to Coachella. Fucking hell. You see, I NEVER GOT TO SEE MBV! So YAAAAAAAAOOOOWWWW!

*cough* As you were.

This morning I found that the line "I worked for a while on a fishing boat right outside of Delacroix" can be sung along to Drive it all over me

Just got tickets for the Manchester show - would it be poor form to wear my Loveless T-shirt from the last time they toured? It's a bit old and faded, and has a big hole in it - but still...

Surprise surprise, Seetickets has fallen over. This is like buying Glastonbury tickets all over again.
