I really have bad memories of this album, it soundtracked a fantastic time for both of us but my god it was a chore for me to listen to. Conversely I appreciate its considered a classic.

That's a shame, just not a fan of the style or something else? it was a little before my time and I have only really started listening to MBV over the last couple of years.

Woke up this morning in the mood for it Isnt Anything and Loveless, maybe it was overplay and it was broadly shoegazing, which I had real problems with, but those albums weren't good for me. My wife loved Moose, Catherine Wheel, Ride, MBV, etc and I disliked all of that. An album like Loveless comes along and its on constantly then it was a pain. Glider ep even more so.

theboyangel Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Had a retro day yesterday with the following getting a dusting down and an airing Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lanterns Doves - Lost Souls Live - Throwing Copper Placebo - Placebo Redd Kross - Phaseshifter amazing how the memory can recall lyrics to tunes not listened to regularly for many years! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if that's the case, you're probably going to hate the next album I am listening to Møl - Jord: It is from the burdening "Blackgaze" genre which mixes Black Metal and shoegaze Saw them support another band a couple of years ago at the Flapper, absolutely stole the show! They even opened up what I thinks the Danish version of the Brit Awards show last year as well: - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught part of their ATG set a few years back, at the time thought it was like a slightly growlier, more frenetic Bossk (which isn't a criticism, I bloody love Bossk). My dabbling in blackgaze tends to veer on the slightly more melodic stuff, absolutely loving Holy Fawn at the mo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being sent Holy Fawn's album by Holy Roar Records (who ATG & 2000 trees absolutely love) a while ago but didn't really listened to it. However, given how much I liked this, I think that might be going on next! Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one I got to was a few years back at Ghost Whale in Brixton, absolutely ideal as my wife was distracted (and ultimately made pliant) by the abundance of beer on offer. Sans alcohol she normally lasts a good 20 minutes in a record store before wanting to kill me (and I don't blame her, I've experienced the other side of it when accompanying her to Hobbycraft). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My OH is quite good to be fair. If she goes clothes shopping, she is usually in and out. When I go to a record shop, she will go off and do something else and leave me to it. When went to New York last year though, made a special effort to go to some record stores (Academy and Generation Records) but she was knackered and stayed around waiting for me. Think she may have regretted that choice... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
