Ohh shit should I start a thread here trawling for questions here for Mr. Shields, or is that redundant?
I tried trawling through here for ideas for the book a year ago and it all just seemed so redundant to type "Loveless" in the search engine, since almost every single thread came up! Hah.
What I REALLY need is help tracking down any of the people who worked on the album (esp. any of the 57 engineers) now that I got my "high quality" (hah) VOIP on and can make free phone calls to the UK...

Glad to hear that the 33-1/3 book on Loveless is well under way -- been waiting for that one. Sorry, can't think of any good questions off the top of my head, only idiotic/boring ones.

Also, have you talked or will you be talking to Bilinda, Colm, and/or Debbie? I'd be interested to hear what they have to say about the album at this point.

Except for those drums, which haunt me in their determinate sincerity. What the hell is it about them that just...stays there? Do they anchor the music or do they ground it? Because there's something about the rest of it all that feels so fucking free. But those drums -- they bring it all back down to earth, as if sound were not indeterminate at all. As if it were very much finite.
The thing about Loveless is that is should be anything I want it to be. But it isn't.

Uh, I'm probably not fucking there. As the effect of that potent little cup of Chantico™ wanes, it becomes clear that spending a thousand bucks or so basically just to go to one show is too insane at this point even for me, even to see two of my personal top five living artists (one of whom is in some sort of weird career limbo and whom I'll likely never get to see perform) on a stage together, probably for the only time ever. SOB. Somebody had better bootleg this, is all. Horses haters note: no one will have to "sit through" anything; see the schedule.
(However! When I got up yesterday I had perfect indie-rock bedhead, requiring no human intervention whatsoever, for the first and undoubtedly last time in my life. I'll take my karmic consolation prizes where I can find them.)

could be funny if Chan Marshall flakes onstage though, and Smith has to reprimand and corral her mid-set

so at the risk of being a credulous fool...
a boozy friend accosted shields over the weekend and he claimed the new mbv record was totally finished and he would be getting the gang together to tour it imminently. This pretty much tallies with the account of a mutual acquaintance who worked with the man 6 months or so ago. so maybe either ksheilds is a delusional tease or we might be getting some shinynewmbv. Has anyone heard anything that might corroborate this either way?

I reckons he says that to everyone who asks, every time, for the past five years...

He's been too busy hanging out at Sonic Cathedrals, celebrating himself, to record an album!

precisely! he's been out and about a lot lately so maybe he has something to celebrate. he claimed that all the mbvers had been contacted and were pretty much ready to start rehearsing.
― cw, Monday, 16 July 2007 10:36 (sixteen years ago) link
And once they've had nine years' of rehearsals, they should be ready to hit the road.

No, see, he's totally telling the truth, it's just that Kevin Shields perceives time on a geological- nay, an astronomical scale.

Henry S is right, though. Still, we will see.

classic... remember when they were 'definitely' going to have an album out in 2021? they got the NYT and domino to believe it, that generally would have been good enough evidence for me but this is kevin shields we are talking about
missed the revive for the fender blender, but i had the non-kevin shields model about 10-15 years ago, and it quite simply sounded like ass

yeah I had a reissue Blender like 10 years ago and didn't keep it. I wish he had done some kind of reverb pedal instead.
