I haven't been all that big into shoegaze going all the way back to "My Bloody Valentine", I actually returned that first disk of theirs to Tower Records three times because I thought there was something wrong with the audio transfer. I remember telling the manager that they must have sent over a bad batch of MBV disks because this is the third one I've returned "The audio sounds all screwed up!", I even had the guy listen to it and he agreed with me.
Well, I still have problems listening to those old MBV albums, even though I now know what to expect. Lately, as a lot of you are happily aware of, the "Shoegaze" sound is coming 'round again. And this time my sense's are finding a lot of it most agreeable.
release date April 28th, 2009 on Fat Possum records

MBV is kinda like escargot, its an acquired taste. I got into them in '91 and only after reading an interview with Robert Smith in which he stated that it was one of his favorite bands. I figured, shoot, I'll give 'em a try.
hmm...
I find that when I gaze at my shoes for too long, I end up walking into walls.
That would be a no go for the red dot as well!
hmmmm...
Red dot works for me.
modern shoegaze is more like a glance.
"Shoeglance" I kind of like that!
Do you see a red dot in my comment up there?
No I see a blank Mog player and then just a big blank, Sandwiched by a "hmm"
The embed is dead.

Hey, we're working on a Lazaus-move for the mog player. We just gotta get this rock outta the way. Please stand by.
dope, tjay. Lazarize it..
Thanks for the post and for the startling revelation that there is something called "shoegaze" sound
dachmo, i just got this. havent had time to really listen to it.
they just release a song by them for rock band, will be picking that up this weekend
I L'dOL when I read you returned the disk over and over thinking there must be something wrong with the sound!! It can be an acquired taste.
WTC - It's pretty good, not all great but pretty good.
Kev - These guys? on Rock Band? Really?
MRX - I had been reading so many great things about the album that I had this preconceived idea of what they sounded like and when I finally heard it I just immediately thought something had gone terribly wrong. At first I thought something was wrong with my cd player, then I figured that somehow two songs got layered onto the same track when they burned that specific cd, then when the manager listened to it and agreed that something was wrong, I felt sure I was right. i don't think I realized that I was wrong until a few years later when I borrowed the cd from a friend.
When I read about how much MBV means to some people I feel like the colour blind that can't see green, I just can't understand what people are talking about.
Yeah I know what you mean. Some bands get great press and I can't quite figure out what the draw is. It's like I'm not hearing what everyone else is hearing. I want to, but I just can't. Oh well...
I think the term "shoeglance" is pretty genious.
The is some good stuff out there...

great song Neill, I'll start looking for that album.
I believe Mog said they were working on the embed issues.
Sorry, not out yet; This is only the 2nd single from The Big Pink......
Damn I love this..........
Nothing like starting the day with a big fat noise. Love it. Great band from the Kiwiland!
Btw, "shoeglance" sounds much better than "newgaze" to me. Good find. We should use that term to tag bands. -nods-
Will someone please exlpain "shoegaze" to me? The sound is coming back? Where have I been? Oh, I feel so alone and unenlightened! :)
