MDG = MBV

Seeing then in feb!! Hope the new material is >goooooood<^^.

I'm seeing them at the ATP thing next year. I really wanted to go to the side show but I can't stand the sound at Palace.

The Guardian is claiming album release in December, with EP following Spring 2013.

Assuming it even comes out when it's supposed to, I wonder if it'll live up to the hype. Probably not.

fuck off. this is going to be better than the hype. the hype is looking one way and this is coming from a completely different direction that nobody realizes. so the hype is irrelevant.

so so cynical

looking forward to hearing it in December... (2023).

Either this is going to be Shields' Smile or it's going to be more of the kind of stuff found on Lost in Translation.

He said he was most inspired by Beach Boys while working on this. I definitely think this is destined to be a masterpiece, pretty much by default. We're not dealing with the average person here. I mean, he's like Brian Wilson squared in my opinion.

it will be interesting to hear anyway.

and BoC..! ? ..the fuck out of this thread.

yeah because an average person wouldn't fuck up the mastering of a timeless album, as found on the Loveless remaster

That would only matter if you were interested in a remaster of something that was already perfect.

anyway I'm talking about music and art, you got Beethoven and Lady Gaga, if you want to get into technicalities all that matters is which person wrote the 9th Symphony.

I'll be at the palace show. May have to stand by the soundboard for this one:)

this is really going to happen this time. i never thought i would see the day.

kevin said he is going to release it for download on his website. i hope he's got a ton of fucking bandwidth because half the internet is going to be trying to download this when it drops.

For the longest time the only MBV I heard was Loveless. Then I got smarter and whoa now

[youtubehd]

will be giving it a listen for sure
