My friend Rachael made it to Monday night's My Bloody Valentine show at Roseland, their first NYC appearance in more than ten years. Here's her description of what transpired:
"At first, I was like…wtf? I want to be able to hear a little of the
vocals but then they got better toward the second half. And then I was
like, WTF? why is that strobe light consistently blinding me and every
other godforsaken manwomanandchild in Roseland. And then I was
like…'Holy shit, you just played 20 minutes of a single sustained
note and reverb and loudness and I could feel the edges of my nostrils
vibrating and my throat tightening and what an amazing physical
experience so I think, after all, it was a pretty damn good show.' and
it was."

Now, that's what I call a Post. Wish I'd been there.

And I’m all like… WTF Pete, why did you go to this one yourself? (That’s just my jealousy talking)
