I’m still reeling from the sheer aural attack and unexpected magnificence of My Bloody Valentine’s climax at the 10th Annual Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Indio California this past weekend. Clearly I’ve never heard MBV live or I might have known what was to come but hey that’s exactly how I wanted to experience [...]
