The Return Of My Bloody Valentine

back in '91 in our scum landlord underground one room bedsit with my newly wed wife, a little boombox/portable cd player, and our whole lives excitedly ahead of us.

Really feeling this, mark.

^shoulda been reissueisfine

good call

@bill a

yeah. it was a headf*ck too far.

given that i thought i didn't like the album, i never expected such an attachment to hit home.

I will always associate this album with playing Super Metroid on the SNES

Haha, I have the same connection between super r-type and computer world.

the remaster sounds fantastic. so much attack, and so much space around each instrument

was never a 'big fan' (probably because I never heard it on vinyl amirite) but I am really really digging the remaster!

Orginal vinyl didn't sound very different from the CD in my opinion, and was only 1 disc so a bit of a quiet pressing. I'm hoping the new analog remaster will be spread over two discs.

From everything Shields has said lately I'd really not thin it's "meant" to be heard on vinyl.

were the remasters any good? i'm reluctant to listen to a new version of Loveless despite the quietness of the original master.

I would gladly pay you tuesday out of my loveless wallet for a new MBV album today

RMDE at "quietness".

The remasters from Analogue tapes sounded like an improvement to me, especially in the bass frequencies.

I'm not really getting what that product is supposed to be. Like for money?

for notes! HAHAHAHAHA

It's for Oyster travel cards and such.

does the fact it chops the bottom off the m annoy anyone else? it's like the one thing they had to consider and they got it wrong.

yes, is for travelcards, hence the name TravelTunes. that blue wavy design in the back is an oyster card, (virtually) everyone in london has one.

does the fact it chops the bottom off the m annoy anyone else? it's like the one thing they had to consider and they got it wrong.

Yes. Looking at some of the wallets they offer they just seem to be artist's impressions of what the cardholder might look like when they print one off.

It's a sony thing methinks, homing in on the 'fans who'll buy any old shit with their favourite band's likeness attached' market, thus:

that said, it's £6 and looks like it comes with digital copy of the double cd... (7.49 on amazon.co.uk)

This is how they'll save the music industry for sure.

I have never heard of a "travel card" before. They're credit-card sized right?

yes. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/14836.aspx

It's interesting though that they're marketed as travel wallets and not credit wallets or just card wallets. So I take it their ubiquity extends beyond major metro areas?

Also yes I know exactly what those things are; quite a brainfart to not remember

So I take it their ubiquity extends beyond major metro areas?

London has a lot of ppl in it

Well sure but it's like making something that can fit credit cards and marketing it as a MetroCard holder to appeal to New Yorkers

you use an Oyster a lot more times daily than a credit card!

(when I've been in London I just stick it in my actual wallet and wave that at the detectors though; I got given a free Keeping Up With The Kardashians one somewhere last time, which didn't induce me to switch)

You do?? That is crazy, I use my debit card like several times a day.

nerds need to step up and invent a single card that does everything so I can start collecting travel wallets.

I feel like a srsly corny bastard, but I bought one of the travel pass holders (despite already having the reissues on CD...), and it seems like a perfectly serviceable piece of plastic and the band name is not cut off irl. In my defence, I'd been reduced to taping my original travel pass holder together with tape and it was on its last legs in terms of serviceability. But yeah, some shame here.

It's OK. I have a Julian Cope belt buckle.

^ provisionally jealous dependent on design

It is this design...

...on a thick round copper buckle.

(a Nietzsche quote. yikes.)

yeah, my nation underground was a low point for him. still, it's a nice belt buckle.

lol yeah, I am v happy without that in my life

(Charlotte Anne is a good 3/5 of a choon and the Drew Carey theme cover is cute but...)

the crazy farm animal EP was the first sign of what was soon to follow though.

new album by the end of the year. full quote from shields:
"Yes, we should have a new album available by the end of 2012. I just need to record it!"

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/nov/07/my-bloody-valentine-new-album

Four more years! Four more years!

Shields then asked: "Have you seen me guitar anywhere? Could've sworn it was right around here somewhere..."

naively psyyyyyched

At this point i don't really care. We have "Loveless", we have "Isn't Anything". If you really want more MBV then you have all those EPs and rare singles and stuff. Unless they've been performing great new material on tours and it has been blowing minds, it seems like a new MBV is pretty much set up to disappoint.

Hopefully there will be enough time passed that it will be different enough to be interesting even if it doesn't stand up to that period.

ok, i disputed this with someone closer the source, and the word is that it really is going to happen.

i still reserve the right to not believe a word etc ..

but who knows, i mean, didn't i read somewhere that kevin is no longer helping out with the new david holmes produced primal scream album ?

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