When I posted that MBV live clip earlier today, I closed by mentioning the upcoming ATP NY weekend .

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...

"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...

Finally writing about seeing My Bloody Valentine in San Francisco 9/30/08(my birthday & my gift to myself). The concert was at The Concourse At San Francisco Design Center which is south of Market Street. I hadn't been to a show there before, let alone knew the venue existed. So I didn't know much about the place. Probably a good thing too, since I didn't want to color my concert experience w...

I'd been bumming lately after a routine visit to the dermatologist turned into a scalpel sawing off the top layer of a new white mole located on the tip of my nose for a biopsy, cause it could be a local cancer. So the next day when my buddy Dan emailed and asked if I wanted his extra pass to the second night of the sold out My Bloody Valentine run at the Roseland Ballroom I said "F%@k it. I'l...

I know this is going to stir some shit up but oh well, as the MBV song says "Nothing Much To Lose" here. I've been noticing that the same "moggers" keep reappearing on the "Our Daily Picks" feature on the bottom right hand corner of every page of Mog.There are around six "moggers" that regularly get their posts featured:WalterWeissMollifireDJ IviAfficianadoMr. FrostMichael GoldbergI may be miss...

(Hey, if Anna can say "Oh my Kapranos", I can say this. It's MY soft-swear, and I like it!)About 10PM tonight, I decided I was tired of sitting in front of the PC's, so I grabbed the dog leash, and took the dog on a walk. Of course, the Gigabeat came with us as well. As I powered it up, I realized that The Smiths' Louder Than Bombs was finishing, and my heart leapt as I realized that My Bloody ...

if i'm not mistaken, the last My Bloody Valentine song to ever be recorded and/or released is this cover of Map Ref 41°N 93°W, originally by Wire on the 1979 album 154. MBV got back together (catching my breath there for a second time) for this cover that appeared in Whore: Tribute to Wire (aka Whore: Various Artists Play Wire) in 1996, which also featured like Mike Watt, Lush, Lee Ranaldo, Pol.
