he does put to the rest the idea that AR Kane were an influenceI have never thought that at the time or since, other than many post-Mary Chain bands were influencing each other and the aesthetic moment was driven by similar goals.

turned out to be a chat among the band, mostly reminiscing about their early days with each of them picking a couple of (other people's) tunes
j also played the theme song to the detectorists on his slot along with gbh and eater

new interview where shields says that the two new albums are currently both planned for release next year, but there should be still some new music released this year (presumably pre-release singles?). i'll believe it when i hear it but i feel a little more optimistic than his previous promises of 'a new EP soon' etc. because we've heard more about the process in this year's interviews etc.

i think the concrete moves, signing to domino, getting on streaming, bode well. i don't trust anything he says but it seems like he realizes the band won't last forever
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 18 May 2021 21:48 (two years ago) link
yeah, m b v was preceded by similar concrete moves like the remasters finally coming out so that's more reason to be optimistic too

Is it really the same original lead singer guy singing on Geek as on “Lovely Sweet Darlene”? Talk about a major change in singing styles. Why yes I am doing an MBV deep dive right now thanks for asking. Their early stuff is supposed to totally suck, but I actually don’t think it’s all that bad! Derivative as all hell, but still fun and noisy.

ikr, I remember listening to Tiger In My Tank on yt and every other comment was "wow they really sucked in the early days, huh?" and you know it might be a Cramps knock-off, but it's a good Cramps knock-off, plenty to appreciate even that early on.

Just clocking the "there should be still some new music released this year" post from May 2021. Sigh. Shields. Fucks sake man.

I know ranked lists are highly subjective, but I still can't believe there's no mention of "Only Shallow" or "Loomer" in the Guardian's top twenty.
― I can't tell if he's trolling or not (ilxor), Thursday, 2 February 2023 18:48 (one year ago) link
I reviewed Loveless when it came out and decided “Loomer” was my favourite track. It’s overlooked too often.
― assert (matttkkkk), Thursday, 2 February 2023 19:42 (one year ago) link
Alexis was asking us on FB about what we would choose for such a list, my own choice was "Don't Ask Why" (in that all the obvious ones I could think of would likely be in there). I think "Only Shallow" is more of a US thing since that was the actual single as such over here, promowise at least.

I know these things are daft but Cupid Come and You Never Should
― kraudive, Thursday, 2 February 2023 22:28 (one year ago) link
I always considered "Lose My Breath" top-tier MBV, and always assumed that was an opinion shared by many fans. But maybe not? Even more befuddling is the omission of "Loomer" and "Cupid Come," as others have already mentioned. Weird list.
― Paul Ponzi, Thursday, 2 February 2023 23:11 (one year ago) link
goddamn, that’s my favourite Isn’t Anything track as well!!
― assert (matttkkkk), Thursday, 2 February 2023 23:24 (one year ago) link
You Never Should would be in my top ten
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 3 February 2023 00:08 (one year ago) link
does "What You Want" count? it's the least listened to track on Loveless via Spotify.
it's tough to call anything on Loveless a deep cut, but to me, it's my very favorite song of theirs and represents so much of what they do incredibly well, at the peak of their powers, all in the same song

its become one of my favs on loveless. "to here knows when" is still my #1 but "loomer and "wyw" are in the top 3 of loveless.
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Friday, 3 February 2023 01:29 (one year ago) link
“When You Wake…” and “Touched” are my #1 and #2, respectively
― beamish13, Friday, 3 February 2023 02:45 (one year ago) link
I’d say all of Tremolo EP

Had a listen to Wonder II on the back of that list and nope still no good.

Lose My Breath is easily my favorite MBV song.

"This is just an excerpt from their set which was a constant battle between the band and the soundman.... mbv won in the end with this brutal 15-minute version of Clair."
