LOL, my name is Kevin. But you've got nothing to worry about, I'm a professional.

Mmmm, not convinced but I'll take your word for it. On this occassion.

So there's a Streets of Rage tune that nicked the bassline from an MBV song.

Both at 00:26. Both great tunes.

That's my contribution to the thread. Bye!

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

That tag's not working for me so I reposted it for posterity:

Awesome song, and I agree - MBV had loads and loads of great music beyond Loveless and Isn't Anything. I even like the slightly wack, C86 style stuff:

Is the EPs 1988-1991 available digitally anywhere?

This seems like a decent time to post one of my favourite lesser-known MBV tracks, it's from a compilation of Wire covers:

Wire were (are?) incredible in their own right, love how MBV stay faithful to both the original song and their own sound. Not sure but I think this was recorded post-Loveless too.

Also, what a fucking chorus

This one has been, in a way, the soundtrack to my year.

Well, the latest news from MBV's facebook says that the new album has just been mastered. Mastered = complete so in a way Shields has kept his promise!

Ah, good point.

I just came a bit, but then stopped myself part way through. Will resume in 20whatever when MBV release is imminent.

Not delivered until received.

I'd love if some of the new stuff sounded like Instrumental Two

Here's a wee video I made for Instrumental Two. The visuals were from an old video I downloaded from Archive.org years ago, I Forget the name of the actual video.

bob mould did a reddit AMA earlier this month and he said that when he was with kevin earlier in the year, the album was more or less finished except for one track.

A welcome treat to see that FB post this morning.
