Oh, of course, not questioning yer hoodie/anorak knowledge. But again (labouring the point as per usual), those coats were nowhere to be seen in the UK until the early 90's, where K Shields did indeed sport one around the time of "Loveless". And if anyone would have called MBV an anorak band then, they would have laughed off the face of the earth. Funnily enough, those coats were sported far more by rave/dance/hip-hop outfits in the UK at the time.

Ignore parkas. Cantankerous is deluded.

And I think you're taking the term anorak too literally.

this argument is retarded, i'm done.

Anorak: "A person obsessively interested in a thing or topic that doesn't seem to warrant such attention."

Or a geek if you will.

i said nerd. same thing.

kevin shields is a nerd.

Kevin Shields is a nerd. As is T Moore. And J Mascis. And Lee Ranaldo. And etc etc etc.

Nerds for the Win, everytime. Jocks can all eat shit. Slowly.

Steve Malkmus is a jock, what a douchebag.

steven malkmus and everyone from pavement are just douchebags.

Yep.

because i like their records and people who saw them in the old days always go on about how amazing they were live. i think people who think mbv are awesome live are just tricked in to thinking they're better than they really are because of the volume.

This, my friends, was the C-86 uniform:

Not really. More:

i still want my fundraiser "get every-e to see mbv in ny!."

paypal address will go up the day of the event.

Wait, there was supposed to be a reason to see them besides the volume?

worst/best thread ever.

they were good. they weren't incredible but they were certainly passable. definitely not the best show i'll ever see but i suppose i got my money's worth. mostly i went because no way was i not going to see them live if they toured again.

I'll throw in a shiny pound coin to the fund. No more than that, though! :p

What, "Shit on MBV week" has come around again already? I coulda sworn the last one was only about a month ago.

ha!!!! fuckin funny thread.. i see everyone has their cooler than thou shirts firmly tucked into their jeans today!!!!!

i dont give a flying shit what the naysayers say.. ive seen hundreds of bands in my 33 years on this planet and the mbv gig was one of the finest shows ive ever witnessed! yes it was loud... real fucking jet engine loud but stil crystal clear.. not a muddied loud at all!

kevin sheilds is a nerd??? well, duh! how long did it take ye to work that out!!!!

an anorak band????? again! well done on the judgement!!!!!

im off to don my anorak right now...better to be an anorak than a wooly sheep i say!!!

cool people don't tuck their shirts in!


Fuck My Bloody Valentine!

cool people never admit to being cool!

cool people say Fuck My Bloody Valentine!

my bloody valentine say cool people fuck

anything counts for the fund, your help is needed and appreciated (especially if your coin is indeed shinny.)

still, i'm going to need a couple hundred mellys to raise the money for me to see them play "what you want" live!

Don't see them, FUCK THEM!

I saw them live first time round and loved them. I like ''Isn't Anything'' a lot, but hey, I like so many other bands a lot so I can afford to skip people's records or gigs here and there without it making much difference to my enjoyment of music in general. When I heard that they reformed my first thought was ''YAWN, for a band that made only one TRULY good record, I bet that there's going to be endless talk about them''. I didn't go to the gig because I could not be arsed even if they were going to be as good as I heard on a couple of the recordings from some of the gigs, so I have neither strong feelings nor weak ones about them.

haha.

hahahaha.

is there a mbv board?

---

on the other hand, i already have my ticket to see CARCASS!!!!!

sweet!

bring the tofu to throw at them when they go all spinal tap and the drummer explodes a la the monty python sketch.....but not at a dinner table......

fuck.. shut paul!!


ok........

ill get my coat!

i thought about throwing them some pig parts or something, hahahaha.

but i actually want to see them, i'm going to be all the way in the front shouting requests: "'oxidized razor masticator' and play faster!!!!"

no.

i agree with lily.

Sorry man, but the tent was still full when they finished.
Not hatin', just sayin'.

man, i was in the centre of the tent.. it was no means empty but there was acres of room around.... the crowd did exit pretty steadily during the closer......

i was at the beasties in the same tent last year and that was full... not room to fuckin breathe!

Man, the beasties last year was intense. I had to leave, the bass was just painful up the front, I could only take about 15 minutes of their set before leaving

great cover of Wire
My Bloody Valentine - Map Ref 41°N 93°W

seriously, that's because that 30/40 mins of feedback thing they do is fucking boring.

this thread is cool

yeah ;)

so what if its boring.. i loved it, others did, im sure many thought it was shite but thats the glory of personal opinion..... it can differ...........

i had never seen them before i waited 18 years to see this band... and what am i not gonna try and enjoy it?????

i cant believe the thread is still going.....
