And did David Schembri's parents accompany him to the MBV show when he was 12, or did they play at his Youth Group pizza party? And Torquil is right about the space before and after the hyphen ... totally wrong. Why do you use punctuation you actually have no clue how to use, David Schembri? Oh, and lastly - I would be remiss if I didn't point out that Low wasn't really considered a part of the shoegazer movement. Slowdive, Ride, Swervedriver, Cocteau Twins, and MBV. Low doesn't use heavy reverb and fuzz. They are just slow and kinda boring. Obviously, David Schembri picked the wrong blog to diss.

Really?!?! You seriously think Dan Tana was being serious and doesn't know who MBV is? Like, really and actually? <ul></ul> ... REALLY!?! Also, well done on slyly interjecting your "I saw them when I was 12" cred points. Smooth. Also, when you're hyphenating a word (like "ill-informed") you don't need to put spaces before and after the hyphen. Aside from being incorrect it's just confusing. Also, Pixies, My Bloody Valentine and...Throwing Muses? One of these shapes doesn't fit. But seriously, thanks for schooling us. Really, David Schembri? Really?!?!

My Bloody Valentine have been out since the early 80's. They are practically one of the most classic indie bands next to The Pixies, Throwing Muses etc. I saw them live when I was 12. Where do you get your info? And why are you blogging about stuff you have no clue about? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Bloody_Valentine They were part of whole movement of shoegazer bands like Low, Slowdive etc. This is one ill - informed music blog.
