My pick for a song. Gorgeous.

Agreed Alan, and thanks for the heads up, the vinyl is gorgeous.

Haven't been here a while and I had to come here and lightly brag. :shock: I got married in November and Dean and Britta played my wedding. I chose the setlist and am still over the fucking moon. The wedding was at Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace, where Spiritualized have played. So dream ...

They have sold out in UK and I am the only one in the US who has them hence the post.
Given ridiculous shipping overseas this helps.

I really appreciate you doing this for the US fans Alan! Looking forward to spinning this

Incredible. I've never seen these posted before, but I was at each one of these shows! That Austin Psych Fest ("Levitation") gig was the absolute worst Spiritualized show I've ever seen. I think purespace was there as well and agrees... Curious as to why the Austin gig was bad..? Just a r...

Fair play, that's a well written piece. Anhedonia was a new word for me too, so thanks for that :) There's a really good description of anhedonia in Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest . It struck a chord as it's the way I've felt for the last couple of years! "The anhedonic can still speak about h...

Could also be the Austin Psych Fest that Sonic played as Spectrum and Will played with Dead Skeltons. I believe Will played bass for Spectrum that day.

Fantastic audio and video, well done!!!

Man, I really hope the band member is going to be all right. Sounds a bit more serious now. Managed to get most of the NYC trip canceled and refunded, but mainly concerned with the health status of the band member. Sending healing vibes

purespace

From Spiritualized's management: "Yes, all ok. A little exhaustion. We’re just working it all out now. Please reassure everyone that there’s nothing to worry about". All I can say is the crowd in Detroit was fantastic. No one left. Only show I have been to so I can't speak of the others. ...

purespace

Very good to hear and hoping for a full recovery. Detroit just knocked our heads off, so much so that this morning we booked air and hotel for the last show of this tour tomorrow night in NYC. We're keeping the band member in our prayers first and foremost

purespace

Now that's what I am talking about. A full on garage rock noise fest! It took half of Hey Jane for the sound guy to get it right and from then on it was blast off. Highlights: Let It Bleed, The "A" Song and So Long You Pretty Thing. It certainly made up for the 2019 Royal Oak Theater show...

For sure, five of us coming down staying at the Renaissance Center, should be checked in by 4pm. Let me know when and where and we'll see you then. It's been a minute!

Where did you read that? As far as I know, there are no COVID protocols at St. Andrews right now except for the clear bag policy. We will be there in the balcony.

I was at this show and it was tremendous. Strangely, two of the best Spiritualized shows I have seen at this point have been at Pitchfork. The other was for the Songs In A & E tour. Anyway, I will admit that I was still holding out a shred of hope of hearing "Always Together" and/or &...

Light In the Attic, in cooperation with Laurie Anderson, have up for preorder, and in various bundles/formats (even 8 track!), previously unheard demos/first iterations of Lou's songs he put down on tape with John Cale. Has anyone else seen this? Thinking of pre-ordering. What are your thoughts?

The differing opinions on the Dublin gig vs the Manchester gig the very next night are like night and day. All the posts on the Spacemen 3 FB page are glowing for Manchester. I wonder how much the venues and sound system play into this? I was thinking the same thing about sound systems. After readi...

My first live Spiritualized experience since the (for me) disastrous RAH2 show, and I had high hopes despite some serious misgivings about the set list having looked at previous shows. The opening salvo was great, if a bit "Spiritualized noise by numbers" and Shine a Light was sublime. Bu...

Great review! You nailed my biggest hesitancy for this tour which is the momentum killing set list. Man I hope J gets wind of this and changes things up when they come back to the states in September. Taking a newbie to the show and this is not an ideal setlist for introducing the live Spiritualized...

Well, as I half expected the pressing of my vinyl copy is a total disaster. Perhaps the worst new vinyl record I've ever received, even worse than Pure Phase reissue. Sigh. Back to Kontraband it'll have to go. It's totally unacceptable. I'm starting to worry a bit about Spiritualized vinyl. My ster...

Just got an email from the Vancouver promoter that "due to unforeseen circumstances" Mercury Rev are no longer playing the Vancouver show. Lame. Main reason I was going. Same for us, pretty gutted when we realized there was no Mercury Rev. Neither the venue nor BJM acknowledged it either....

How was the show? I'm excited to hear the new songs. I hope when they return to the states in September they add a few wig out songs like ending with TMTTOS and bring back the light show with the wall of stobes. Austin Psych Fest was the only Spiritualized show I've ever walked out of being way too ...

Mercury Rev was a no show in Detroit last night. I understand they had some "non-COVID" related issues last week trying to get into Canada. They were to rejoin the tour in Detroit but no dice. Pretty disappointed but do hope it's nothing serious.

I'd love to have one with Spiritualized coming up, but there are no Midwest America shows as of yet. Does anyone have an idea of when that might happen?

This will be the first year in three that we're going back to gigs. So far, we've booked Orville Peck in April, Brian Jonestown Massacre w/Mercury Rev in May, and Sharon Van Etten in August. It feels really good having live music to look forward to again

I have 3 different pressings of this album. The last one I picked up at Austin Psych Fest when Dead Skeletons performed. Met Nonni after the show and he signed it for me.
