Talking of scum, Swansea have agreed a deal to sign former Arsenal full-back Jernande Meade.

Nothing wrong with Swansea...

Chokervic much! He's played awful, but the British press will ignore that and say Murray has played the greatest tennis ever seen ever. And the knighthood beckons.

That's Federer into the semis at least then?

Beethoven and Mahler's 9th Symphonies are essential. THE greatest two pieces of music in existence.

Came in expecting Mickey Mouse...

Ocarina of Time.

Everything by Nick Drake and Tim Buckley's first 7 albums for a start.

Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom (gorgeous, melodic, jazzy, weirdy perfection. Ideal for fans of Caravan, Roxy Music and obviously Soft Machine.)

Everything by a rapper called Milo. The most underrated rap artist today. (Intellectual stuff mixed with nerdy references. Not about killing people and bitches etc.)

Lloyd Cole and The Commotions - Rattlesnakes (it's like Prefab Sprout and The Smiths, but better and with more namedropping!)

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie

Red State

Black Dynamite

Perfect Blue

Begotten

Subway

Week End

Satantango

Metal Gear Solid and The Legend of Zelda.

Zelda would make some great epics, kind of like the LOTR films in look.

MGS would possibly work better as a TV series, as they are really deep. Maybe MGS1 could be turned into a film successfully?

Arvo Part alll the wayyyy!

The series is great if you can stand Cousins' voice. Being a film and screenwriting student at university and being a film student at college while it was first being aired made essays alot easier, even if the lectures were pointless. It's a great reference point and he goes into significant detail for some essential aspects. Worth a rewatch I think.

• Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
• Link (The Legend of Zelda)
• John Marston (Red Dead Redemption)
• Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
• Nathan Drake (Uncharted)
• Oliver (Ni No Kuni)
• Crash Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot)
• Crono (Chrono Trigger)
• Gordon Freeman (Half Life)
• Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney)

Satantango - Tarr

Martyrs

Dogtooth

The American - Corbin

Persona - Bergman

Fallen Angels - Kar Wai

Night on Earth - Jarmusch

My Neighbour Totoro - Miyazaki

some good stuff here. Alot of different stuff.

I'm SamCookeMate on letterboxd so look through my ratings if you like!

Bought the Wizard Edition in CEX today for £130. Already bought normal edition on release day. How much could I get online for either?

Its pretty much a companion piece to Loveless and if this had come out in '93-'97 then this is what they would have expected to here I think.

There could be a backlash around it sounding a little too much like Loveless, although there is experimentation in the last three tracks. I feel that if critics are going to give it any criticism, they'll say that it is too similar to Loveless. I do not recall that being a bad thing at all (Loveless is a 9+ IMO) but you know what critics are like... Fuck em!

I thought the King of Limbs was a fine album. A lot of critics dismissed it entirely straight away, hopefully they wont with m b v.

It's miles ahead of Isn't Anything, but is that just because it sounds more like Loveless? Possibly, but yeah this new album is amazing.

Takes more time to appreciate than Loveless, is it better? Is that actually possible? Maybe in another 5-10 listens?

Maybe?!?!

I finally have it! Fucking finally!

The EP's are immense. Didn't really get into Isn't Anything but Loveless is amazing! When I get into the site I am hoping this will be as good!

Some small time band who wish they were Ride.

They released an album called Loveless but it could not reach the unparalleled heights of Ride's Nowhere.

So the new My Bloody Valentine album is finally fucking here!

Anyone care?

Anyone manage to get on the site yet?

Excited!

Can't top Loveless can it?

Nope.

Probably gonna be shite but it's MBV!

Spoon

Safe as Milk is a great shout. Probably bubbling just below my top 20 actually.
