Not loveless, but not love-full, either.
October 17th, 2007
I thought Darla Records wasn’t going to release Loveless by Japancakes until 13th November, but both iTunes and emusic.com listed the album as released 9th October. Also? I’m a little upset that no one at iTunes bothered to check the spelling of track listings was correct: “To Here Knows When”, not “To Hear Knows When”. SHADY. But did this stop me from downloading all 11 tracks in less time than it took to write this entry? Answer: duh. I wanted to love this album, I really did, but a lot of the tracks fall short of the genius that is Loveless by my favorite band in the whole world (EVAR) My Bloody Valentine.

I really don’t know. One of the benefits of living in France. I’m totally out of touch. As far as Robert Smith, I mean, darling, really, do you own a mirror? Siouxsie has no equal. Srsly.

WHY didn’t anyone tell me My Bloody Valentine is rumored to reunite at Coachella in 2008? Never did I imagine myself ever setting foot upon the soil of Southern California again, but I would gladly do so – and upon the back of any hippie or emo or whatever goes to these shows – for this band. Ever know a person that carried a torch for an artist that bordered on obsession? Theater queens ain’t got shit on me. Denver, Colorado in 1992: I stood outside for four hours before The Gothic even opened its doors for the show so I could meet My Bloody Valentine. WHICH I DID. I didn’t move once from the front row and my only regret is not buying up every item of merchandise they sold that day. Come 2008, expect to find me front row at Coachella ready … Continue reading
