This year, the All Tomorrow's Parties festival is turning 10, so they've decided to celebrate with not only the Nightmare Before Christmas event curated by My Bloody Valentine on December 4-6, but also with a special “Ten Years of ATP” event, taking place December 11-13. No fair! For my tenth birthday, all I got was a bowling party, a new boombox, and a Silverchair CD. I guess my parents don't ...

Shields, who will curate this year's ATP Nightmare Before Christmas, has already asked newly-christened critical darlings The Horrors to play, while the rest of the bill also promise...

"What we obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly" - Thomas PaineI wish I could say that I had picked that line from Common Sense, but I remember hearing that quote from the movie Loser. It's still an astute statement. So let me tell you about many and varied attempts to catch My Bloody Valentine live in concert. Let's see if this quote holds true.[For those that aren't interested in the deta...

My Bloody Valentine closed out their seminal 1991 shoegaze album Loveless with something shocking: an extremely danceable track called "Soon". Loveless was a record-length exploration of noise and melody masterminded by guitarist Kevin Shields. On it, Shields combines the quavering tremolo tones of surf guitar with layers of Marshall amp distortion. The effect is the auditory equivalent of rapi...

During “You Made Me Realise,” the last song of My Bloody Valentine’s second show at New York’s Roseland Ballroom, the venue grew eerily quiet. In actuality, the band was creating punishing waves of feedback, but with earplugs stuffed in firmly, it felt like the eye of a storm. The atmosphere was foreign to a rock concert. Instead of exultation, there was serene anticipation.Fans of the Irish...

[09-27-2008] 1991. I was five years old in 1991. I had barely begun developing long-term memories, let alone an understanding of music. Had someone then told me this would be the last time My Bloody Valentine would tour until I got out of college, I would have thrown my toy at them and ran off to find my parents, calling that person "weirdo" in the process. Seventeen years have passed, and now ...

When I posted that MBV live clip earlier today, I closed by mentioning the upcoming ATP NY weekend . We knew mostly who to expect at the Kutshers Country Club in Monticello, NY, but now we've got a look at the full schedule and complete timetable. Yes, now you know exactly when you'll see Om transition into Low, Tortoise abuts Thurston Moore abuts Built To Spill, and My Bloody Valentine blow mi...

It's pretty difficult not to get cynical about the number of reunion tours and records over the past couple of years, but if anyone's doing it gracefully, and still feels vital and relevant while doing it, it's My Bloody Valentine. I was lucky enough to catch them on their Loveless tour with the equally successfully reunited Dinosaur Jr. when I was knee-high to a grasshopper -- judging from thi...

So things finally managed to work themselves out and I will NOT be missing MBV while they're in town. I"ve been anticipating this shit since like November of last year, when I used to be real up on everything, checking my feeds like 50 times a day and all that good stuff. To tell you the truth, I dono how I did it. Now I can't even be bothered to write a review of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds a...
