hey are you the admin of that page ? ; 0

doubt it

Damn! admin . My greetings from Nepal .

Top tier page on Facebook

Hester Julia Voddé I'm glad to see you guys like my page :)

yep!

just cannonballs me into a pool of euphoria everytime

I spent like $80 on my copy of Loveless

Rémi Warin I'm wondering the same thing lol I tweeted at a guy who is part of the process of remastering and whatnot and he just said "when they're done. It's Kevin's call"

MMTheHighEndOfLow where did you hear that they're coming in December?

well they are already being pressed and a while ago it was posted on twitter that they would come out at the end of 2016, we're in november and nothing so im hopping for dec? but we all know kevin's perfectionism would probs delay the delivery, i just hope it doesnt take 10 years like the 2012 cds

Of course, Kevin must be reading all the comments bellow the videos about his own band LOL

The first time you listen to the main riff of "I only said" it's like - WHOA.

hahahah

helloismabye t

They did a great job on the Souvlaki one, I'd love to see one about Loveless.

with kevin's blessing expect that around year 2040.

first of all, they have to get all the producers, band members, stuff like that which is sometimes a tough thing to do. Once they have that down, I guess it would be easier from there

Geath Drips If that's the case, that would be rather difficult, given that the band hires about a dozen of engineers in the album alone.

Jaspertine it is tho

Name a better one.

"The studio schedule was intensive. Plagued by faulty equipment and Shields' increasingly obsessive habits; The tambourine part alone in To Here Knows When allegedly took an entire week to record, but the results were staggering." He is speaking about the results of the recording process as a whole :)

There's tambourine?

ninjamonkeydrummer That's clearly what he meant, but the exact wording comes out a bit off, like the script got shortened and something got lost in editing. It just came across as funny to me.

Had the exact same feeling. I, ironically, listened to it first because someone trashed it while doing a /mu/ essentials, and now its my favorite album of all time. Instantly fell in love and have been ever since.

John Doran hahaha

The bends

so he liked it

Robert Smith is a likeable chad, unlike Morrissey

I’m down

LOL

It was a quarter million GBP, which converts to almost $500k USD.

^^ but other way that’s a whole lot of money especially for music like this. I have no idea why a major label would give so much money to this, but I’m so glad they did

@@meatsurfer an irishman born in America then

its hard to find much of a link except from them both being something Brian Eno liked. Almost as if shoegaze is just a tenuous and arbitrary coinage that never really was a scene or genre at all. The only bands close to MBV were over in newyork, bowery electric and loveliescrushing are the only two that i'd describe as genre-aligned from that time-period and were likely influenced by mbv. Slowdive are great though, I never thought their albums were pieced together too well though, and a lot of filtering of songs by producers means their hundreds of demos and live are often better.

***** apparently a producer from the record company took out 80% of the guitars that were there.....and those annoying 90s fade-outs! Just when the noise-outro is starting!

It wasn't a scene because it was full of introverts who didn't much party. I *do* think it was a genre though. There were lots of early 1990s mostly British bands who were doing that kind of thing: Moose, Swallow, Chapterhouse at least for Whirlpool (although some credit / blame Guthrie for that). And then there was Projekt Records over in the US also putting out that kind of thing: Love Spirals Downwards, Siddal...

Shoegaze had the bad luck of coming out during the grunge assault in America. It never really got a chance in the states, and it ended up dying on the vine. We are hearing some new sounds of life from a few of the originals.

zimriel thanks for reminding me of projekt records!

Top two for me. Maybe my number one.

top 1 for me

I KNOW RIGHT? WE ARE BLESSED AGAIN GAVIN!

Maybe cuz it's a video about Loveless.

oh shut up.

@@sellingacoerwa8318 Oh you shut up

@@el_felkx8822 shut up

This is the structure of most linear notes videos to my knowledge

SuperJoeMama7 oh shut up

Does the Stone Roses' first album still hold up though? and what about Fleetwood's "Rumours"?

fuck yeah. "rumours" is a great album although i'm not sure if it's in my top 100 favorite albums ever.

Mine are Loveless, Blue Bell Knoll (Cocteau Twins), Led Zeppelin 4, Starfish (The Church), and Codename: Dustsucker (Bark Psychosis)

Many albums you are still yet to discover then.

coincidentally, do you need therapy

they already did

Yep, still do. :)

A touring member at that

yes

she is in a way

sounds like an mbv song title

podycheck Same

hot tbh

tfw no qt shoegaze gf

lush > slowdive > mogwai(i think?)

DIIV

I Only Said

I think the fact that McGee also had Oasis and still shat the bed proves that the problem wasn't MBV (directly) and that the bigger problem was shoddy business practices. And drugs. However McGee *was* right to observe that MBV weren't going to be able to follow up "Loveless" fast enough. Because "Loveless" did dig a hole; it was a sleeper that took too long to recoup its cost.

agreed

Yes. People might like others more than it, but this is the one album that defined an entire "genre" and pretty much perfected it.

shoegaze never existed.

its "Nowhere" to be found...

New You, from MBV

Incorrect. Loveless is their second

soon

Adrian Powell nah, MBV were more revolutionary imo. sonic youth was definitely very innovative but they weren’t the only band playing around with noise. Also, I feel like their version of noise rock always sounded messy, it never became the controlled chaos that a song like only shallow has. Sonic youth attempted to mix catchy poppy songwriting with noise rock in albums like daydream nation but it felt kinda stitched together, you could see the seams. For example, in silver rocket, you can clear identify the noise rock part of the song and the non noise rock part of the song. Loveless on the other hand took noise and catchy melodic pop songwriting and truly merged them together, like they were melted together and mixed in a bowl instead of simply stitched together

***** colm was ill i believe, not sure what happened with deb but i think that was just wanting to take the controls. But as on isn't anything Colm would have sounded near identical. Deb is usually heavier live, she's a good bass player but loveless def only had bass that stood out on a few tracks like soon. I like how all the 'keyboards' and some of the vocals were just resampled vocals and feedback though. even when it sounds like a flute or something.

New you off of mbv

@@blonstir that's "I only said" off of loveless

@HULK HOGAN On wasting time I would agree, but I can understand that because it can be really hard being creative when not inspired.

Soon. Final song on Loveless :)

Martin Hoffmann yo thanks so much!

They respect them very much.

Nick are you dumb MBV is as pitchfork-core as it gets

Why would mbv be yours?

Joseph Martin I think it’s good that they write about them so younger people discover them. I’m sure it’s not just like the way you describe it. I’m 35 now, when I was young I found out about many older bands in articles. I think this is important. Don’t blame pitchfork, blame the assholes.

Pitchfork and every big indie publication has been huge on MBV for a long time.

Gonzalo exactly
