For those of us that love that era of music (and its continued influence), time truly well spent.<br /><br />Yeah, I can't wait to hear the new Slowdive material. As for the JAMC - they *have* a lot of stuff done as well. Just a matter of them finishing it all off and choosing the best time to release it. I think at this point they should just do an 'mbv' and put it out already.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-28810232684825643722014-12-09T13:09:35.534-08:002014-12-09T13:09:35.534-08:00Interesting that your article is in part about Bea...Interesting that your article is in part about Beautiful Noise because I was just reading about it. <br />How lucky you are to have seen Slowdive. Last week I watched some recent live clips on YouTube and they sounded fantastic! I imagine the show was incredible. How nice to know that they are working on new material. I'd heard a couple of years ago that the JAMC are working on new material but so far I haven't seen anything.The Midnite Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018614143164534700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-55326704898301785752014-12-09T11:29:21.036-08:002014-12-09T11:29:21.036-08:00You are spot on with Beverly’s sonic influences, C...You are spot on with Beverly’s sonic influences, Chris. In my recent interview with Drew Citron (which can be viewed via the link up there) I asked her about that, and she answered:<br /><br />“Oh yeah, I’m a big fan. I got to see them a lot and they definitely were an influence on me. Surfer Rosa was my favorite record when I was a sophomore in High School out in San Francisco where I grew up.”<br />DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-52505376277696027712014-12-09T10:44:58.488-08:002014-12-09T10:44:58.488-08:00Chris Mills wrote:

So glad to know you got to experience this amazing feeling. As for Bo Ningen - I DO get what you are saying.

I do admire and respect what they do well - but I totally get your misgivings about certain aspects of their over-the-top presentation.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-70478193079145406502014-12-05T09:29:24.460-08:002014-12-05T09:29:24.460-08:00Ray Kimura wrote:
