Dinosaur Jr. is shite. J.Mascis vocals sound like he has a nasal problem.

Asshole.

what about this pete, I give you $80 bucks for a portion of your poo chatting on a circle. particularly about a portion of the morons that stick around here. furthermore, c'mon spzretent, are you truly going to represent it, on the off chance that I had slagged you off like that you'd in any case b...

As an aside I'd say that the later leg of the A&E tour was the band on real top form. I saw two early shows on the tour which were just *okay*.. The later one at Leamington Assembly was superb. Sometimes this band can really vary in their live form but when they are on, it's unbeatable This is why ...

Surely that only really applies to the big production 'throw the kitchen sink at it' kind of shows though, not these ones with the core band and three backing singers. Is that last line a dig? Feels like one. No. Not trying to have a dig. Just giving a different opinion. I didn't mean to apply this...

My .02 cents worth. I have seen countless Spiritualized shows like many people who post here. The only other time I have seen them play an album in it's entirety was the NYC Radio City LAGWAFIS show. I loved the recent show and what made it so different was playing a new album in order. Admittedly I...

Beautifully written and showing what persistence surrounding your favorite band can do and just how much it means.
It was meant to be.

I posted something in that FB thread.
I have never bought any of those releases.
I do have the Superior Viaduct Highs Lows and the RSD Fucked Up Inside reissue. Those seem to be distributed by the same Adasam guy? I don't understand this at all.

Well that was a very satisfying night. Great seeing loads of old friends at the pre show meetup just sorry I wasn't able to spend time with everyone. Show was excellent. The band all commented on how much they loved the venue.

I'd say Gusoline Alley. less than 2 blocks from the venue.

Not bought much recently but, after being tipped off by our very own Sunray, i HAD to buy this... Julian Cope - Barrowlands This show is and was one of the maddest and greatest I've ever attended. 3hrs, 2 sets, a shit tonne of magic mushrooms, and a roller coaster trip! Sunray PM'd me when he saw t...

The Chills play here tomorrow night and I am wondering if I should make the effort. Will I walk out just as pissed off as I did Saturday? Smaller club. Hopefully better crowd. It's not like The Chills tour every year. Bitching aside I have to give major props to the crowd at the House Of Love Leeds ...

Kikagaku Moyo at The Blind Pig Ann Arbor Saturday February 23, 2019 I hadn't been to the Blind Pig in 25 years. It's still a shithole. All they have done in 25 years is slapped black paint on the walls and a bit of sheet metal around the bar area. The stage is still approximately 12 inches tall. Not...

One of the best articles I have ever read on any Spacemen 3 LP.
Thanks for that link.

That show! Seemed like every person un the UK indie/spacerock scene was there. Kevin Shieds told me the show was in quad. It was LOUD. Also turns out one of my very best friends was there too and this was a few years before we had ever met. I also ran into a friend high up at Geffen who was there fo...

I had this bizarre occurrence when in London in 1993 to see Mercury Rev at the Clapham Grand and a few nights of 4AD's 13 Year Itch festival. I was over with 3 friends and when we got back to our hotel on the Friday night we turned on the TV and there was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_df7l...

Perhaps you are not anti Yank Olan

I'll hold on to my memories of the Wakefield Unity Works gig then. Great comfy venue, great gig, great posse and right up front. No assholes. That was a brilliant night :D 'cept for that anti American bartender in the pub after the show who accused me of being rude. That still bothers me. i am neve...

I remember being pretty shock by the ferocity of Taste.
I loved 7th# Disaster and The Perfect Needle(still do).
Taste just seemed so much angrier.
I have a lot of time for the Creation singles too. Gorgeous is a word that springs to mind.

Thanks and same to everyone out there. Been a good year for us fans re: Spiritualized. New album. Some incredible shows. Looks like loads of shows in 2019. Here is to hoping this board springs back to life a bit. There should be plenty to share and talk about. Personal highlights this year include m...

Mercury Rev definitely lost a lot when David Baker left. I saw them a few times with him and it was, well, bonkers. But in a such a good way. I saw the legendary Clapham Grand show when loads of bands came out dressed as stuffed animals including Jason and I think Kate. I just got my copy of Primal ...

Agreed. This one is a shocker and such a huge loss. RIP Pete Shelley.

I suspect that Jason actually has very little in the vaults though. He doesn't strike me as someone that would record his gigs for later examination or posterity.

No. But he encourages it. He wants shows uploaded and shared.

This message was sent by Spiritualized's management and Jason specifically asked it be posted here: Jason is going to be interviewed by Q Magazine tomorrow afternoon and has asked us to share the following with you and if you could please post it to the forum today? “Spiritualized will be the subje...

Saw House Of Love at Leeds Beckett's 11/9. 30th anniversary of their debut LP on Creation. I expected an older crowd and that is what it was. House Of Love took the stage and immediately played the entire debut LP. Love In A Car just exploded midway through. Then they launched into one of the all ti...

I went right off this band around a year ago due to their unbearable conduct on Twitter. I'm aware not all of them are responsible for either the actions of this one guy or the Twitter bile, but their posts became more self-righteous and malevolent as time went on to the point where I couldn't list...

He must have one helluva publicist.
He has been irrelevant longer than he was ever any good.

This doesn't happen much but I walked into a record shop today in a part of town I am rarely in and lo and behold I found this Screaming Trees- Dust Deluxe 2 Cd version. I love Dust but had no idea this existed. While stuck in rush hour I managed to listen to the entirety of disc 2. Some great stuff...

KM deliver once again. More Krautrocky than the others.

The House Of Love- S/T new 5 x CD 30th Anniversary release.
I am going to listen to all 5 of these CD's in a row.

I love this band.

I just picked up The Pretty Things- Bouquets From A Cloudy Sky CD box. There had been a used copy in one of the local record shops. They knocked it down to $100 as they have had it over 1 year. It is pretty complete. Nice HC book, every CD w/bonus tracks, loads of other stuff too. http://www.thepret...

Jason not only doesn't mind, he encourages it. That would be for live shows.
This is why links to rips of the new LP were deleted prior to it's release. That isn't ok.

It may seem like not a big deal but it legitimizes this place which is a good thing. Especially with such a well received new record out.

Hopefully Jason blew away the London crowd tonight.

Kind of a momentous day for us moderators.
Jason's management officially linked the message board to the Spiritualized web site.

Thank you Thorsten(Nightwash) for your well worded email.
Happy days are here again!

Nor have I and I have the Fat Possum deluxe LP.

New songs and it's a good one.

My deluxe orange vinyl sounds great. No problem here. I have been listening to it since Wednesday. 4th listen.
Maybe there was a bad run of pressings. Not sure.

Kudos to Fat Possum for getting the LP here a few days early.
Just put it on. Sounds brilliant.
Nice packaging too.

Album is awesome. Dont you think its kind of odd Fat Possom wouldnt put any money for him to use a studio?

Fat Possum are only the US label. It is Bella Union in the UK.

I got as far as On The Sunshine because I had play that 3 times in a row.

Welcome. The more the merrier.

It was $34 at the shop I got mine at on RSD. So 30 quid seems like a deal as it had to be shipped and duty was paid.
Plus you have the added bonus of playing it loads and liking the shop you bought it from.
Sounds like a great deal all the way around.

I am just thrilled to have been the one to rescue this. I have been mulling over buying one of these for a few years. Was looking at Okki Nokki(There you go Barry). That was at the top of my price range. I was following an auction a for a VPI few weeks ago too. Too much for a used one for me. I am s...

Here is one for the books. I walked into a local charity shop today. After looking ay the vinyl I walked over to the audio equipment. Sitting there was a VPI record cleaning machine. It was marked $9.99 because as the price tag said "Needs new arm". They thought it was a turntable. I brought it home...

All welcome.

This Apple commercial is getting loads of airplay here in the US especially during World Cup matches.
I hope DJ made tons of cash from this.

I think the reason why he said this was gonna be his last album is that the recording process stressed him out so much (home recording everything...) I think once he gets a well deserved break he may go back to Spiritualized at some point. Or he might just continue releasing music under his own nam...

I emailed Medical Records to see if they would wholesale them to me. Problem is it does cost $23(with my USPS discount) to ship one LP to the UK. That doesn't include the mailer and inserts either. I was hoping to see if I could help you guys out. Perhaps sending multiple copies to one person in the...

I think we have it covered. If not we will let you guys know.

Well, it's a new fucking Spiritualized record. Like I said before, he isn't going backwards.
Count me in as excited.

Even though I disagree with some who posted their opinions here there is nothing like an impending new release to get the juices flowing in this forum again.
Look at this activity!

Fuckin' A. Tough crowd. Six years since the last LP. Finally we have a new Spiritualized album coming. I love I'm Your Man. A bit beefier in the midsection. I love the video too. Some of this thread is such a fucking downer. Jesus. What do you want from Jason? He ain't going backwards. This is his ...

I'm in the US should I pre-order from this UK record store site? Is this legit? I still see no official announcement from Spiritualized.

Fat Possum will release this in the US. I am certainly hoping the ltd package is avaiable too. Should be way cheaper than having it shipped from the UK.

Side note Olan.
Did you enjoy side 2?

Olan.
The bummer is side 2 is where it's at.
I posted something on their FB page.
Maybe that will get their attention.

Anyone else get a bum copy of the Wooden Shjips V blue vinyl LP. My side 2 is unplayable. In fact there are three rather explosive pops that sound like they are going to tear my cartridge apart. I have contacted Thrill Jockey and they apparently cant be bothered to respond which I find infuriating. ...

He instigated it. It was his idea. I am sure he didn't remix or remaster it himself. I should have made my post more clear.

After reading the interview in the ASIH booklet my assumption was confirmed. Richard was the driving force, at least as far as ambition is concerned, of Verve. In his quest for superstardom he fucked things up. When Spiritualized did their first record signing at my shop Jason and Kate mentioned how...

It took a few years but the A Storm In Heaven CD box set arrived today.
I started out with the DVD. Jesus. This is just how I remember the early tours. They...were...immense.
Cant wait to check out the rest of this box set.

That is really good news for Spiritualized. Trey Many was in an early incarnation of His Name Is Alive and is a massive Spiritualized fan. He used to shop in my record shop. Good to see someone nice doing so well in the music business.

Very odd. I clicked on both those links last night and read both posts. The second one being more aggressive.
This leads me to believe someone in GP's camp or GP himself reads this message board.
Take that for what it is worth.

I posted as query on Glass Redux bandcamp site and have received the following:

"the LP was remastered by John Rivers after the CD so no they aren't the same exactly but then again CD & vinyl are mastered differently anyway. The CD was mastered by cloning the original

db"

I stand corrected.
