For the last two nights I had my MIND MELTED by My Bloody Valentine at Roseland Ballroom in NYC. The performances were the most beautiful, violent, spiritual, loud, all-consuming experience I have ever had. I experienced what its like to be INSIDE a jet engine shooting through the middle of a category 5 hurricane (it was THAT loud).
I honestly feel sad for anyone who likes MBV and didn't get tickets. I too, was skeptical and didn't buy one. However, a few days ago, my friend Aaron said his girlfriend couldn't go because she didn't want to MISS CLASS (nerd alert!) and that I could have her ticket for FREE. Then the next day, after recovering from 3 hours of sleep, I craisglisted another ticket and made the trek back to NYC with some friends. MBV ruled counties, provinces, states, regions, countries, continents, galaxies, and anything larger than all of those things COMBINED.
Instead of spending $1 trillion to change the hearts and minds of Iraqis, The US Govt should have just paid MBV $5 million to tour the entire Middle East. Nobody dies. Everybody lives...AND...Osama Hussein may have just been so stoked on the enormity of MBV's music that he would give the Bush family a direct pipeline of oil out of gratitude.
If you haven't yet heard 'Loveless' you are have been living in a Dark Age. Enlighten yourself today. If you haven't seen MBV live you will never know what dinosaurs and atomic bombs sound like.
