Consolation Podcast: My Bloody Valentine live @ the Institute for Contemporary Arts in London (6.13.08)

For those of you in L.A. unable to make it to tonight’s (or tomorrow’s) My Bloody Valentine performance at the Santa Monica Civic, we humbly submit to you our podcast (originally published on 6.27.08) of MBV’s “warmup set” for their reunion tour, recorded on June 13th at the Institute for the Performing Arts in London. As we wrote at the time, “Opening with the grinding wail of Shield’s feedback intro, within a minute the layers of noise seam together to form the blissed implosion of “Only Shadow,” the beginning of a performance which lasts for 90 minutes—an hour and a half that surveys classic MBV songs as well as rare EP tracks, coalescing in the stungunned, free-flow kinetics of “You Made Me Realise.” Listener, prepare thyself—My Bloody Valentine is about to perform in your home.” Click here to listen/have your eardrums blown out.

But, before you listen, are you really, really sure you don’t want to go tonight? Really?
