My Bloody Valentine to record new album

Posted by aubin on Sunday, September 28, 2008 at 11:30 AM (EDT)

The Guardian is reporting that legendary noise/shoegaze outfit My Bloody Valentine are planning to finally record a new album.

Songwriter and band leader Kevin Shields explained:

I realised that all that stuff I was doing in 1996 and 1997 was a lot better than I thought

The record will be the band's first in 17 years. The band released Loveless in 1991 but split up while trying to record the follow up for major label Island Records.

Either flamebait, or total ignorance.

MBV is solid.

Look ladies and gentleman we have someone in the peanut gallery who is so ignorant and uninformed that they will yell out something completely incorrect and not realize what a complete douche they are.

edgelife (September 28, 2008)

wow ignorance.

scientistrock (September 28, 2008)

What he means is that he realized saying he wasn't going to make anything if it wasn't better than Loveless was CRAZY.

LIVERPOOL, England (AFP) — Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has warned his team-mates not to get carried away by their best start to a Premier League campaign.

The Reds are second in the table behind Chelsea on goal difference after winning four times in an unbeaten six-match run.

Rafa Benitez's side underlined their determined to finally end the club's 18-year wait for a league title with a ruthless 2-0 win at Merseyside rivals Everton on Saturday.

But Gerrard has seen plenty of false dawns at Liverpool before and the England midfielder is refusing to let the euphoria around the club distract his squad from the task of extending their impressive start.

"It is important to be humble now and not get carried away," he said.

The Reds are second in the table behind Chelsea on goal difference after winning four times in an unbeaten six-match run.

Rafa Benitez's side underlined their determined to finally end the club's 18-year wait for a league title with a ruthless 2-0 win at Merseyside rivals Everton on Saturday.

But Gerrard has seen plenty of false dawns at Liverpool before and the England midfielder is refusing to let the euphoria around the club distract his squad from the task of extending their impressive start.

"It is important to be humble now and not get carried away," he said.

"We have got a big game on Wednesday in Europe and then another vital match against Manchester City on Sunday. It is important no-one gets carried away.

"There's a long way to go and we realise how tough it is going to be to still be in the hunt come the end of the campaign, so we need to keep going, but we have set a standard that we need to match week-in, week-out."

Liverpool have already beaten Manchester United this season but Gerrard wants to see them perform to the level that out-played Everton on a regular basis.

"The victory was probably our best performance of the season," he said. "We had been winning games but stumbling along, but this has set the standard now and if we can continue that level then we will certainly be there or thereabouts come the end of the season.

"We controlled the game all the way through. It was a statement of our intentions.

"We were together, played some terrific football and the performance showed how frustrated we were not to take maximum points from Stoke the previous weekend."

the first 40 minutes of alpha dog are the greatest 40 minutes in cinematic history. this is fact.

baldsteve (September 28, 2008)

There is a movie called 'Jaws' that destroys everything you just said.

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

Is that the one directed by Senor Spielbergo?

baldsteve (September 28, 2008)

Yes, yes it is.

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

Dude if I yanked your dick any harder you'd owe me money.

baldsteve (September 28, 2008)

I've got a pocket full of per diem. How much time do you have?

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

Where did they send you this time.

edgelife (September 28, 2008)

J-Tim was good in that movie

deadXlast (September 28, 2008)

Yay for all-girl synth bands!

Preston (September 28, 2008)

Saw these guys last week. It was very loud. And I know that the vocals are just another instrument in this band, but they were nearly inaudible.

blue_drink (September 28, 2008)

When I read/hear the word shoegaze, I either think Polaris or Deep Blue Something.

But then again, I don't know much about shoegaze.

billnye (September 28, 2008)

You're definitely way off. Polaris is more in the vein of REM and shit like that

kneel (September 28, 2008)

polaris ruled

baldsteve (September 28, 2008)

You should get Petuna tattooed on your arm.

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

Hey sandy ay ay ay ay

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

Oh, I've got their record. You guys want it?

kneel (September 28, 2008)

already in posession

wolfshirt (September 28, 2008)

This is relevant to my interests

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

E-mail me and I'll zip it up.

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

Tenatively stoked.

Bullets for My Valentine OR My Bloody Valentine?

Think about it.

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

Compare MBV with those shitbirds.

Make MattRamone cry.

Don't hate the shitbirds.

MisFit4Me (September 28, 2008)

Bullet for My Bloody Valentine?

edgelife (September 28, 2008)

I thought it said Bullet for my Valentine at first, so needless to say i was confused by the description.

kneel (September 28, 2008)

am stocked about the possibilities involved here.

although i think there is also a lot of potential for failure

It will almost assuredly be terrible. (This coming from a big fan.)

Alls I know is that if it's any good, Pitchfork will hate it.

baldsteve (September 28, 2008)

Never heard a single song from them. I remember when that record came out in '91, I was much more interested in skate-punk and hardcore.

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

Not really sure they're you're bag, but I can hook you up if you want. It's sex jams for music nerds, basically.

I wasn't into this in '91, because I was 7 and super into Ninja Turtles.

kneel (September 28, 2008)

its pretty fucking good for sexing and reading.

maybe also background music at a party or something

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

It puts me in a very nice place. The weather we've been having might make me break it out again.

Have you heard the You Made Me Realize EP? It might be the best EP ever.

greg0rb (September 28, 2008)

Psyched. Dino Jr made me open back up to reunion records.

I was kind of surprised how good that album was. This applies to Mission of Burma, too.

edgelife (September 28, 2008)

We know what your name is fucktard.

xote (September 28, 2008)

This isn't just another reunion record. This another My Bloody Valentine record. This band is just as important as Sonic Youth and The Velvet Underground ever were to expanding what punk rock is and was. I'm very excited to hear this record and very pissed I missed then NYC and why the didn't hit DC I don't know.

billnye (September 28, 2008)

watch out mattramone hates sonic youth, YOU'RE DONE FOR

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

But I love MBV and the Velvets. They knew about things like songwriting.

billnye (September 28, 2008)

huh?

MattRamone (September 28, 2008)

I'm saying VU and MBV know about things like melodies, song structures, and hooks. Sonic Youth sound like two vacuum cleaners fighting while a twelve year old girl from a horror movie recites her shitty poetry.

TheMike (September 28, 2008)

Early Sonic Youth, sure. I would contest this statement on subject of more recent output.
