The Return Of My Bloody Valentine

is it variety lights?

I think it's dumb mittens or something

drowning mittens

Maybe it was another band idk

No it was them bcz David Yow had a shirt that said "yow"

Yikes when they are on it this is one of the best live bands, even now. I have seen them suck though. Suck or best they are fucking loud.

Do earplugs - they crank the volume throughout the show so you can't really notice it. Beautiful but beastly.

Yeah I would do earplugs. There are bands that try and do an MBV-style "noise assault" and they flip on a few loops and walk off stage and let it ring and wooooh a large part of legitimizing it is the audience realization that yes this is real noise art and not just a bunch of guys that decided to let some noise go on instead of actually playing music and even that can be damaging and if I was in MBV I would make damn sure to try and make the loudest, most punishing noise ever, so yeah please do the earplugs.

Are they playing songs from the new album?

yes

I am pretty sure the "wear earplugs" conversation has been happening on this thread nonstop since like May or June.

"wonder 2" was incredible

So they play the same set every night?

It's a shame they don't play more from the m b v, Only Tomorrow, Wonder 2 and New You are gorgeous live.

This is sometimes referred to as the "holocaust section" or "volcano section", and usually lasted about 15 minutes, although there are reports of shows where it went on for well over half an hour.[2][3][4]

you're welcome

M b v is the pillow I lay my head on when I walk with my eyes closed

I was going to buy the vinyl yesterday but it was 46 dollars!!

Soon to record a new EP, which means we won't hear anything from it for at least five years or so...

Still, good to know.

Hm, I feel a little bad that I was a bit dismissive of this earlier.

Well. I put the l.p. on at home but lasted about a minute.

maybe wasn't in the mood.

Walking through LACMA the other day and came upon this lovely 'Glider' reminder:

Nice.

Forgot to mention it's Sam Francis 'Toward Disappearance' (1957)
http://collections.lacma.org/node/236868

uncanny
also a good Sam Francis, which is rare in itself

hey this album is pretty good!

says the guy who never listened to it before today for a variety of reasons

This fucking album.

yeah i mean

i know you all think i'm crackers but i'm really not sure this isn't their best one

i... might agree with you

the ending is quite something.. last two songs make it sound like the album is being chewed up in a blender and then sucked into a black hole

does anyone else think 'She Found Now' sounds very similar to Astrobrite's 2007 song 'Xero Hero (Lonely Boy)' (@45:12 in the video)? or is this just a case of all shoegaze sounding the same?

Well. I put the l.p. on at home but lasted about a minute.

maybe wasn't in the mood.

I played the CD in the car about 3 weeks ago. Sounds good, was in the mood, I guess.

kevins cultural observations are probably one of the most interesting of that time

i remember watching this interview and thinking this is probably one of few people on tv to talk about third culture kids and felt good about it

So, when's the new EP coming?

This year.

ooo

"This year."

-- Kevin Shields

I was born there, and I lived there, and I've got an American passport.

new vinyl pressings and tshirts on their webstore. might be reading a bit too into it, but did they leak the name of a new release with this shirt? has "fuzz" meant anything in particular with this band before now?

Just looks like a generic word to me.

that could be a schematic for a fuzz FX pedal circuit or something

It's a diagram of a fuzz pedal, innit?

(x-post: ha!)

they do have a new album coming though

so it's rumored but we know how long the last one was rumored.

yeah i mean i'm probably reading too much into it but it seems strange to have new tshirts for each of their albums (mbv one arguable i guess) and then have one representing a particular aspect of their sound

i'm pretty curiuos about the new all-analog LP masters, might have to see what the steve hoffman gang has dug up on em

Diversifying into Eurorack?

Euro made me realise...

haha.

whoa, new 9 minute song from kevin shields + brian eno!
