This new video of Shields playing guitar with the new pedal should hold us over until album 4.

Mine arrives today. NGL if I got one of the 100 I’m flipping it for a new amp.

But you're sharing the track with us of course.

Presumably most people will end up hearing this through a YT rip on a phone or something. A weird move for someone so obsessed with quality.

it can only be played on the PonoPlayer

Sorry, no MBV world premiere from me, no USB drive in mine.

i hope a version with vocals and less-placeholdery drums comes out on a new mbv album someday because that sounds fantastic

Deb is playing solo shows (as "La Googie") in support of a new split single and she's still in Thurston's band who just announced a show in a couple weeks.

in the aging weirdo perfectionist career track, Kevin has only got two more years to put the finishing touch on that next MBV record before he's older than Brian Wilson when Wilson finally dropped Smile

xp - glad to hear Thurston's got some shows lined up, was worried about his health there for a bit.

Deb: "The MBV record is inching it's way there, so I mean no idea when it's coming out but there's an MBV album on its way..."

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.
