expect delay
I’ll probably be just about landing at home in Toronto when this post goes live, but still it seems appropriate to close out this trip with a nod to Ireland’s greatest ‘gazers, My Bloody Valentine, though the country’s claim on the band is not necessarily the strongest. Though they were formed in Dublin, only drummer […]
A return to North America and English-language content with this one courtesy of Stereogum; Toronto journalist Lesa Hannah has collected a trio of interviews with some of the women who defined the first wave of shoegazer bands – Rachel Goswell of Slowdive, Emma Anderson of Lush, and Deb Googe of My Bloody Valentine – and […]
Quite an eventful week last week for fans of My Bloody Valentine, particularly those who sling guitars themselves. No, they didn’t finally release the new music they’ve been promising since… fuck, who even remembers. At least not in the conventional sense… So to begin with, Kevin Shields finally announced he and the legendary guitar manufacturer […]
DVDs are hardly the most collectible things these days – I wager a lot of people don’t have the technology to even play one if they wanted to – but I’ve finally gotten my hands back on one of my most precious digital video discs after a couple years where I almost wrote it off […]
I – like everyone – has spilt a lot of digital ink on My Bloody Valentine this year, what with their back catalog finally coming back into print on all mediums in all territories in time for the 30th anniversary of their landmark Loveless. So much so that when the actual birthday of the record […]

Kevin Shields doesn’t really seem a Twitter kind of guy, but with the Domino re-release of the remastered reissues My Bloody Valentine’s of Loveless and Isn’t Anything rolling out today, he found his AOL password and along with the rest of band all sharing the @mbvofficial account, got online this week to participate in an […]
It’s been an unofficial kind of My Bloody Valentine week, what with the band’s catalog returning to streaming services globally and coming back into print, albeit with some confusion around what versions are available in what form and where. Basically, you can’t buy the Domino versions of Isn’t Anything or Loveless – in other words, […]
So the news is that My Bloody Valentine are back. Not with new material, don’t be silly – those two new records they promised would be done last year are, in fact, not yet recorded, as per the New York Times feature below – but their catalog is back. All their albums are now up […]
The URL for GuitarGeek.com may no longer exist was a meaningful internet entity – it now goes to the YouTube page for some guy who will teach you Led Zeppelin riffs – but in the early days of the web, it was a magical place for guit nerds like myself who were a) unhealthily obsessed […]
