My Bloody Valentine’s ‘Loveless’… Probably the album I ‘ve searched for the most. In every record store, I used to look more focused and open-eyed when the bandnames in the crates were beginning to start with the letter ‘M’. Even when the ‘N’-bands came along there was still some hope; some illiterate could have placed it wrong… In vain. Of course, there were always sellers on Discogs or Ebay offering the album, but the price daunted me. But a few months ago I was really struck dumb when I saw that flashy pink-reddish artwork appearing while flipping through the ‘new’ records: My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless, out of nowhere. And cheap too!
Was it worth the wait? Well, probably. I have to admit I looked forward to the release that much, that it could hardly fill up those unreasonable expectations. Plus, I tend not to listen to a record on Youtube or whatever in its entirety when I’m sure I will find it one day… The one song I truly knew from ‘Loveless’ was ‘Sometimes’. Talking about setting expectations… But it’s classic shoegaze, and really lovely music. Now let’s find a Ride to Nowhere!
