My Bloody Valentine

Quite. Rocket Girl aka V. Joshi is VERY cool and I will testify to that as a friend of some years' standing now. Unlike some characters who have posted here offering their wares, she has known about and occasionally contributed to ILX for a long while.

fwiw the mastering on the vinyl LP is pretty decent, it's a nice sounding piece of vinyl. i paid A$30 for it a good ten years ago and never regretted it.

jess, what was your first concert of the 90s?

Break out the strawberry wine, the "Glider" EP is 20 years old this month.

I still recall the moment I first heard "Soon".

^

The first one I heard was "The Andrew Weatherall Remix"

i just listened to glider this afternoon without realizing that i was celebrating an anniversary. will likely break out tremolo later.

they have a new album

This thread is a reissue

Yeahssssss

what the hell is that

It is what it looks like, I think.

No mention of William Joel ?

Nope. But he does put to the rest the idea that AR Kane were an influence. Says he admired their stuff up to 1990 but MBV were going in an entirely different direction.

is there really no pictures of them taken after 1994?

No more sorry

he does put to the rest the idea that AR Kane were an influence
I 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.

his love for early De La Soul and Public Enemy
They sampled PE on "Instrumental B". Love the bit about LI memories.

kevin shields on nts1 for the next hour starting from now

apparently j played a new dino jr song, wonder if kevin will play new MBV. doubt it

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

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 see you’re new here

https://www.stereogum.com/2211268/my-bloody-valentine-m-b-v-turns-10/reviews/the-anniversary/

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 reviewed Loveless when it came out and decided “Loomer” was my favourite track. It’s overlooked too often.

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

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.

goddamn, that’s my favourite Isn’t Anything track as well!!

You Never Should would be in my top ten

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

Soft as snow but warm inside!!!!

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.

“When You Wake…” and “Touched” are my #1 and #2, respectively

I’d say all of Tremolo EP

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

They cleaned up the Only Shallow video

I’d say all of Tremolo EP

Except for "Moon Song". I never liked Kevin's vocals on it.

I always considered "Lose My Breath" top-tier MBV, and always assumed that was an opinion shared by many fans. But maybe not?

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."
