My Bloody Valentine vs. Chicago: Tinnitus FTW

[mobvok]

Is this it or am I an idiot or A and B?

My Bloody Valentine - m b v (NEW Full Album) - YouTube

the youtube comments seem to think it is

 

[u2popmofo]

What the hell does this mean?

That I wasn't exactly thrilled with what I'd heard when I wrote it, but I'm liking the song I'm on quite a bit right now. I'll take back my earlier opinion. Hard not have ridiculous expectations on this.

Is it just me, or is the album recorded it at the old timey original CD volumes?

 

[iron yuppie]

Hey iyups, another Ride connection that you might be interesting in, seeing as you're a fellow Oasis fan.

Andy Bell, who played guitar for Oasis from the Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants era through to the bitter end (and wrote a few Oasis tunes: Turn Up The Sun, Keep The Dream Alive, The Nature of Reality, etc.), was a founding member of, and guitarist for, Ride.

So there you go.

That I did not know. And it does indeed strengthen the case for Ride.

 

[Danny Boy]

Do you even own a turntable, Scumbo?

 

[u2popmofo]

No, but I own 10 or so albums on vinyl. Prob more than that.

 

[Danny Boy]

So in iTunes, do I label the album...

MBV or
mbv or
M B V or
m b v

?

I need to know.

 

[u2popmofo]

I changed it from m b v to M B V back to m b v.

Capitalized everything else though.

 

[LemonMelon]

\.(/m/ *b* !v! )./

 

[Danny Boy]

I have to go out now, but I will give this a critical listen and report back.

For geekiness sake, I must report that I used the Mastered for iTunes droplet to covert directly from 24/96 WAV to 256 kbps AAC.

I really am burning a DVD-A later, though.

 

[No spoken words]

I now own it, and will listen later.

I.....it's insane to have this album. So fucking excited.

 

[bono_212]

ok, I got it

 

[bono_212]

Alright, gotta download Winamp and the album's going to take about 8 minutes to download. Time to get settled in.

 

[IWasBored]

Winamp? Haha, wtf? So it was recorded with no digital equipment, is available in the kind of advanced digital music file that makes db drool, yet requires a music player no one has thought about since the late 90s? I'm missing something here.

 

[u2popmofo]

I used to have some awesome Winamp backgrounds.

 

[corianderstem]

I now own it, and will listen later.

I'm saving it for tomorrow. I don't feel right cranking it the fuck up this late at night and annoying my neighbors.

They're not ready for My Bloody Valentine.

Sunday morning is far more appropriate.

 

[IWasBored]

Skins, get it right. Like from when people made websites and used angelfire and geocities to host them, and posted wallpapers, pictures, and Winamp skins in their media section?

 

[bono_212]

Winamp is, in my experience, pretty much the easiest way to listen to FLAC

 

[Danny Boy]

I wouldn't trust Winamp to handle the sampling frequency conversion. I would at least use LAME or Audacity.

 

[bono_212]

Huh, It's been a while since I've screwed around with FLAC (only used it for bootlegs), so if that's the case, I'll follow your advice, oh wise-one

 

[bono_212]

Wait, they're just .wav files, can't I just use iTunes?

 

[Danny Boy]

Huh, It's been a while since I've screwed around with FLAC (only used it for bootlegs), so if that's the case, I'll follow your advice, oh wise-one

I meant if you are converting to MP3. Yeah, iTunes shoul be able to play the WAVs.

 

[bono_212]

ok, yeah, I'll use Audacity to convert later.

 

[LemonMelon]

Well, so far this is definitely an m b v album

 

[LemonMelon]

The fuzz on Only Tomorrow is pretty insane. Sounds like someone's amp caught fire.

Spoiler

Edge was responsible.

Spoiler

I hate myself.

 

[bono_212]

I'm pretty in love with "is this and yes"

 

[Danny Boy]

 

[LemonMelon]

That was neat.

 

[u2popmofo]

I wish the vocals were as far back in the mix as Loveless.

 

[LemonMelon]

I still couldn't understand a damn thing they were saying.

 

[u2popmofo]

Nor could I, which makes it annoying when it's front and center. Monotone sung, pointless lyrics should be pushed back in the mix to make things mysterious.
