The Return Of My Bloody Valentine

click "sales"

Was going to go to bed early tonight... glad I didn't!

Now you just watch me fall asleep before anyone gets to hear the damn thing.

Buzzfeed is on dis ting. Almost makes it a shame

So, has anyone actually heard this yet?

This is all just an elaborate tribute to his favorite film, Groundhog's Day, in that we will wake up to the same 403 page every morning for the next decade.

big perp using this failed release to harvest clicks for buzzfeed using a completely contentless fluffpiece is like whiney's worst nightmare, glad he's not around to see this. could only be worse if it also had pictures of bacondogpuppies

Hahaha.

Sigh

Here's 12 hours of vacuum noise to play while you reload the site

Just got through, didn't buy the record, got two tickets for the Man Machine night tho'.

Alleged comment somewhere in the 2,000+ post MBV Facebook thread:

"can somebody ask the radioheads to upload to their site, I'll pay like a dollar if I have to"

just while we are killing time can i say how closely this resembles a message board made mbv album so far; ridiculously elliptical song names, terrible artwork, precious use of lower case, &c.

m b v fanfiction

Almost had it there.

I'M ON IT! I'M ON IT!

Website as slow as Shields himself. Buy now = 403 :-(

What's the buy now link?

for me it re-directed me to http://www.mybloodyvalentine.org/Catalogue.aspx

aspx... wtf. Who the hell built this website?

tremendous post

How are you guys going to listen to it? Environment, mood changers, alone, headphones or speakers, etc?

Ned has been suspiciously quiet for some minutes now...

How are people's refresh techniques differing?

Does anyone have 15 tabs open with the page reboot robot set to 0.000001 seconds. I have been reduced to folornly prodding the button about once a minute.

ned was put in twitter jail / he's eating dinner

I refresh the page with every sip o' wine. Still no ecstacy...

xp

More like IS THERE ANYTHING, etc etc

techniques like that maaaaaaay have something to do with the website crashing over and over, haha

I actually have thought about this more than I care to admit. Esp in re: Ned, who I assume will not be able to resist giving as-it-happens responses, which I think are basically the enemy of listening, but which are also kind of a reality of listening now.

I wonder if loads of Japanese dudes with Cornelius haircuts have it already and are organising a listening party in a five storey club in Shinjuku, with the extra track probably too.

listening now

I can see it (but I can't hear it)

extra track is a backwards version of "hikari express" by the smashing pumpkins

haha iirc ned liveblogged the noise part of you made me realise last time they toured

i remember reading a beach boys message board before smile came out a few years ago & a guy meticulously detailing the rearrangement of his living room he'd carried out "to minimize impedence"

"the enemy of listening", true dat.

I will be having my new MBV on headphones, in bed.

first track is killer, very powerful drumming!

you can really feel the bass

Excellently awful video gone up on YT starring a curly haired stoner gaze fan rambling on, calling Shields out for taking twenty years to release a record.

Couldn't take all 8 minutes of it but the guy must have been 2 when Loveless came out so go figure.

ned was put in twitter jail / he's eating dinner

True. Actually about out to dinner, a bunch of us are going here:

Love Peruvian food but according to my friend Elizabeth (half-Peruvian herself) I've not had a chance to try a truly good place around LA yet.

Nah, fuck that. I've been commissioned by the Quietus to write up a 'first response' style piece (hi there Doran!) but I'm not going to post on Twitter as it happens, and hope to actually sleep on it anyway before turning it tomorrow. Would prefer to give it at least two, three listens if possible.

tell twitter if the peruvian food has the texture of a new my bloody valentine record

i can see it but i can't mouthfeel it

Depends on the quality of the lomo saltado.

Anyway I still have only just reached the digital download page so who knows when I'll actually get to buy it. Am getting the 24 bit WAV files FWIW, I'd rather not slouch with this.

suddenly feel taunted by my debit card, which i took out of my wallet & lay on the table two hours ago, it was a more innocent time

Given up, going to listen to Bethany Curve all day tomorrow in protest.

An idea...

HTTP Error 403.6 - Forbidden

point six

Maybe the server error page IS their new album?

403.6 means "ip address rejected"

you have been singled out

haunting, i have maybe refreshed the page four times

This second song is even more detailed than the first. 403.6 is a market improvement on 403

Sunshine HQ is going to have a PR problem.
