Hi all, thank you everybody who has supported this channel! One month ago I had less than 100 subscribers. Today I have more than 500! It has been absolutely thrilling to watch this channel grow this past month. You have my commitment to put out content that is carefully researched and edited to ensure that my videos are both accurate and interesting. Since I haven't met the subscriber threshold to make community posts, I'll post infomation about the channel here. I'm currently in the process of making the next documentary video, and my hope is that it will be out this weekend. While it has taken longer than I would have liked to make the video, I don't want to rush it out before it is ready. I have a list of videos I plan on making this year, but I would also love to read any suggestions that you may have. Also, I appreciate any critiques of my content, as it helps me improve in future videos. Again, thank you everybody for your words of encouragement and support. I feel so fortunate to be a part of this community of shoegaze enjoyers!
Such a good channel for music fans !! ♡
Good work- keep it up! And respect for being able to pronounce those Gaelic surnames.
@@kevinwhelan9607 I finally am (theoretically) able to pronounce Colm's last name. ^^
11 minutes. We need a real MBV documentary. They deserve a full on doc, and fans deserve it too.
Right on, but this was a labour of love❤
Belinda's vocal still carries me to places.
she sounds like a damn angel
She said, if she'd been a boy her mother would have named her Billy.
That's why her name as a girl is "Bilinda". ;)
And she really has a wonderful voice.
loveless is still, for me, the greatest music i've ever heard.
The timelessness of Loveless is unreal! It's hard to believe the album came out in 1991, the same year Right Said Fred released "I'm Too Sexy," and Bryan Adams released, "I Do It For You."
Please listen to Treasure by Cocteau Twins.
Scientifically the best music.
@@nope5445 first thing that came to mind. Loveless is great but Cocteau twins… no question for me.
@Stained Glass Stories Also the same year as Talk Talk's "Laughing Stock", lest you forget!
I saw them live in 1992,it's still the loudest concert I've ever been to and they were superb.
Saw them open for Dinosaur Jr in 91. Nuff sed.
I went deaf at 2 gigs (each time for a week or so) : dinosaur jr and mbv. I can't imagine both together... Now i can't hear perfectly due to these concert years, but it was worth it.
this was done really good! thanks for making it!
hello loveless brother/sister 💯💯
I heard 'Honey Power' on a Boston indie/alternative radio station WFNX in Nov '91...I was visiting home and was recording the station's music onto a cassette tape because where I lived in south Florida there was nothing like that and I was getting into all this 90's stuff. I instantly fell in love with MBV's sound and was addicted. I started buying up all their albums and still crank up their music whenever it comes on my playlists. This was such a great video! Thanks!
I still remember quite well getting that first album on cassette as a promotional issue to our radio station. It was immediately striking in its sound.
I couldn't imagine hearing that on cassette for the first time back when it was released in 1988! Even years later, I can recall being in awe the first time I listened to that record and "Soft as Snow" came on.
i remember becoming absolutely obsessed with this band in my late teens, around 17 and 18 i was fully into this band and simply couldn’t get over the fact that it was so ground breaking. In combination with introducing psychedelica into my life this just blew me away. I remember the day the band finally got onto Spotify and i was ecstatic. Huge inspiration, my biggest wish is to see them live.
I once asked a guy I worked with if he was familiar with MBV. He said "of course, sure I was in a band with Kevin Shields' brother Jimmy!". Dublin is such a small city
Great, to the point overview. Didn't know a lot of that early stuff (pre Strawberry Wine stuff). Loved being able to take this all in, after only 12 minutes!
I really loved this documentary, so fucking well done!!
Thank you asobi, that's so nice of you to say :)
my favorite band ever! Thank you so much!
That's awesome, they are my favorite too! You are very welcome :)
Still remember one of my night-working colleagues ripped a CD of Loveless and gave it to me and said "Give a listen to it and you will like it", he's right and been a fan for 25 years.
When I first bought Loveless I nearly through it away thinking it was warped! Ha ha!🤣🤣🎸🎸🎸✌🏻
Great video man, I hope you keep uploading content like this! Keep going
This is really well done.
Thank you ☺ your response really means a lot
Thanks for sharing. I've been a huge MBV fan since Isnt Anything came out, in 1988
this is so sick, i’d love to see more vids from u
I should've listened to Loveless back when I used to trip on DXM instead of Portishead
Good job! Enjoyed it throughout!
i'm 37 yo and only recently this music is called shoegaze. holy shit man.... finally!!
Ha I just started gliding on my own with my first wiggle stick, not surprised that they started it since bands like this are such big influences to me.
Fav band after the fall
Still waiting for the two albums dropping by the end of 2021
Ah yes, it wouldn't be a MBV record if it wasn't released years past its expected release date
I love MBV and Kevin made it possible for anyone to "play" guitar. Just hold your hand on the fret and press play on the fuzz peddle. Rock star!
and feel the feedback and share the feeling
I wish I discovered this in the 90’s it is exactly what I was missing from my life at that time
"...and a guy called Mark on the bass". lol.
What about sunny sunday smile?!
a friend made me a tape dub of loveless. said the guitars would blow my mind. played the tape and became wtf?? is this a joke he played on me? imagine not knowing anything bout shoegaze, history of this album. Then you hear the tiny drum intro to only shallow with what sounds like a messed up wobbly tape. asked about it and swore to me that's how it's supposed to sound. gave it another listen..then 10 more.. afterwards i got those "oh!" moments. i played that tape to death...
I had no idea there's a Hothouse Flowers / MBV connection.
Thanks for good content.
You're very welcome Rittiporn!
Marihuana always is the key
Thank You!
You're welcome!
i really hope they release something new, it would be amazing!! i am a new fan :D also this video was put together very well! nice job man
Thank you Olive! :D I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and are a new fan. It makes me so happy to see more people discovering their music!
@@StainedGlassStories i have loveless on vinyl now!! now going for m b v then isnt anything :))
@@oliveee That's great to hear! It sounds even better on vinyl, so enjoy the experience :). I just recently found Isn't Anything at a record store a few months ago and I'm super excited. Best of luck finding the two!
@@StainedGlassStories i ordered 2 days ago mbv off of discogs and also their eps / rare tracks (1988 - 1991) on cd. all that is left is "isn't anything" and maybe some old stuff
@@StainedGlassStories I now have isn't anything :)
to here knows when when u sleep and blown a wish r probably the best songs from loveless❤️
Loveless sounds like God singing in Hell🫡
So is it 4 me , their music takes me so far away...🤯😌😳
such a good video
LETS FUCKIN’ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
:D
Anyone who enjoys mbv should check out They Are Gutting A Body Of Water’s “Destiny XL” One of the most innovative and original since loveless
Sometimes most amazing song
I subbed. Thank you.
Thank you Omni! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😃
that irish names pronunciation owwww
Love it
まあビリンダ入れば大抵勝つる気がする
I miss a lot MBV
Oh, I thought this was about the movie.
Nope, I hear it's a great movie though!
OK Computer was NOT an indie record, so there goes your credibility.
Loveless is great
I agree!
MBV The best band of shoegaze💗👏😊

bro you just read this shit off wikipedia
Lies I got it off MySpace
¡Subtítulos en otros idiomas!
Shoegaze is such a crap term.....it was a rebirth of psychedelia...blows me away that it was boxed in as some depressing lost artform.....possibly the greatest time in music. So many albums that blow down doors.
Caresuwig
Kevin's trust fund went a long way for purchasing clout and a artificial legacy
Neutral Milk Hotel in the same conversation as MBV or Radiohead is surely a joke, right?
Cocteau Twins defined shoegaze. Not these wannabe charlatans.
They were more Dream pop not very shoegaze, at least not like mbv
my life actually changed when i heard loveless
same.
completely changed the way i look at music forever
@@yannleroch1760 omg fr
Lol
This documentary was created very well.
-Great audio and microphone sound
-Concise and informative
-Good talking points
-Fantastic images and videos
-Necessary context to further understand the band
100/100
A+
Thank you very much! This really means a lot to read. Im so glad you enjoyed the video!
This comment hits the nail on the head! Really well done, concise video here.
@@StainedGlassStories The original comment nailed it. I have tried to make my own "mini-docu" videos and stopped halfway many times because it's very hard to get the voice acting, pacing and video edits timed right. If not right, it feels awkward and stilted. This felt engaging throughout. I am learning a lot from how you paced your vid!
Also, -Added about three extra syllables to Colm O'Ciosoig's surname
One never forgets listening this album for the first time
Very true! It took me a few listens for it to click.
i remember i was painting and i was so confused but at the same time thought what i was hearing is brilliant
its been 30 years since I’d discovered them. Im a shoegeezer now (rip Danny) but Im honestly looking forward to getting older now, mostly for the dementia so I may be able to discover MBV again.
Very cool to see someone who has been a fan since the Loveless era. Best wishes to you!
'Isn't Anything' is such a phenomenal record!
sometimes when i'm bored i just throw the full Loveless album on and just sit and listen it will always feel brand new to me that's just how good it is
Same. Even my wife is getting to like it. My adult daughters say it’s rubbish noise. But then they never got The Ramones, either.
I’m 64.
lol of course it was weed
But transformed into sound.
I love this, thank you for making it.
Thank you Sacred Lyon! It was my pleasure ☺
really surprised how little attention this video has gotten compared to how well its made, great video!! :)
Thank you very much! :) Comments like yours are incredibly encouraging when creating a new TH-cam channel
Up until about 3 years ago, the only exposure I had of My Bloody Valentine were the few times I would catch parts of "When You Sleep" being played on college radio, and watching "Lost in Translation". I'm 34 now but right when I was 30 years old I befriended a coworker who was a big music snob that suggested I "start small but important" like MBV's Loveless if I wanted to dabble into really good compositions. I remember listening to the opening track being totally blown away and in my head wanted to know when this song came out, I found out it came out in 1991 and I had to have overlooked it, for I was more interested in popular grunge acts like Nirvana, STP, and Soundgarden. Discovering shoegaze and also dream pop later on in life created a major intellectual shift on every notion of music I had to that point.
MBV’s loveless, man the first few seconds chemically altered my brain chemistry. I’ve never been the same since
Sonic hemp
The almighty _Loveless,_ an aural portal to another dimension
The first time I heard to here knows when, I could not stop listening to it and the album. Still listening in 2022.
Im a Shoegazer Freak and this docu is really well done and filled with great info !! Congrats and keep em coming !! Cheers from South América !!
Thank you very much Ramiro! I would love to hear from the shoegaze scene in South America! Moe content to be released in the near future! Cheers from Minnesota!
MBV managed to move the music forward by developing a genuinely new sound and also being popular and influential. I don't really hear bands on the scene today that combine these things. So much music is produced these days, and there are many musical explorers doing good work that most of us never hear, but in today's environment, it is hard to imagine music as progressive as MBV was back in the day getting much traction. Somebody'll come along and shake things up, though. Thank you for this good overview of the band.
3 unique albums. now how many bands can claim that ?
Please listen to their music off psychedelics if youre into that. Its mind bending
OK Computer is wildly overrated, In the Crap-plane is just utter rubbish. No clue what sway those fetid albums have over people; Loveless is a timeless masterpiece, some dweeb screaming about loving Jesus while strangling a ukulele…?
I love Only Shallow and hear a lot of their influence in bands like Ride and HUM.
Few days ago heard Soon with some headphones playing loud that was/is tremendous music they deserve all the accolades
respect ... i first heard soon in a student house in 1994 in Longsight Manchester.. you made me realise poster on the wall.. made 90s the 90s
This is amazing. I love how you exported it in lower quality to get that old tv feel
I find it funny how everyone in the comments section talk about how they discovered mbv by their friends or by hearing it somewhere when they were young, while I, a 15 y/o teenager, discovered this band by searching for information on the poem Loveless from FFVII lmao xD
When I discovered that the title of my favorite poem was inspired from the album Loveless of mbv because the developers were fans of this band I just HAD to look at it.
And I must say that I do not regret it at all, I absolutely LOVE their musics!
Really great job summarizing the band’s history and releases. I can usually point out mistakes and bad omissions but not here (my only gripe here was that you guys didn’t include any audio from “Only Shallow”, but did show a brief clip from the video… and that is my ONLY gripe!) but this was well-researched, well done, and accurate. I’m going to go listen to “Isn’t Anything” now. 😊 Thanks for this, 10/10. 👍🏼
Great video but "Sue-SEE"? Come on guy
It's sad the band have so little faith in and respect for the music they released before joining Creation. I know I'm in the minority here and will no doubt be called all sorts for expressing this, but I'd take listening to anything released before Isn't Anything over Loveless. Personally, I found Loveless crushingly disappointing when it came out. It was soft, squishy and frankly quite dull compared to Isn't Anything, which for me was and always will be their best release. But those early records with Dave on vocals (did I miss the Sunny Sundae Smile EP here as well?) are utterly brilliant.
They all have that energy and drive that Loveless is lacking. I would love to see them all given a nice remaster and packaged up in to a release as frankly, they deserve it. Loveless was more navel gaze than shoe-gaze, and I have tried to give it another chance many times, it just fails to ignite any passion from me. However, By The Danger of Your Eyes... Gets my head rocking every single time.
Never knew til now how to pronounce O'Ciosoig
Same
I love noise so fucken much, would kms if I was deaf
I was hesitant to listen to mbv because "my bloody valentine" sounded like my chemical romance and I thought they were proto sound of emo. I wish I could listen to only shallow for the first time again, that shit blew me away. Plus Butcher looks like my crush which makes their songs little more special to me.
Belinda butcher is soooo pretty
MBV like them since 1987 and saw them in NYC early 90’s. Never seen a band before that emptied a venue during the encore, pure wall of noise at level 10. Lucky I was smart enough to have earplugs. What an experience ❤
I saw them touring behind Loveless, on a double bill with Dinosaur Jr. It was so shockingly loud I had to clamp my hands over my earplugs, and finally listened from outside the venue. It was something like listening to a jet engine, just this constant roar of sound. I'm surprised Shields can hear a thing now.
Yeah...i'm surprised this documentary didnt talk about how incredibly loud their live performances are. Like standing in front of a jet engine.
Colm Ó Cíosóig and Hope Sandoval = Warm Inventions
Just wanted to add that there also was an additional non-album single from '87, also with David Conway: _"Sunny Sundae Smile"_ with four tracks that are phenomenal too!
Otherwise great documentary!!

"Siouxsie" is pronounced 'suzy' rather than 'sue-see'.
Cool comment, I've wondered about that for years now....is it brit slang -y vs American pronunciation? & has she ever said to anyone what's correct? Love the song Killing Jar
Loveless was THE album for awhile!!
The marijuana was everything
It certainly has the potential to boost creativity!
Decided to learn guitar and I am looking into music history. I have never heard of many of the bands or songs and always confused with the music designations. So this is my first investigation into "shoe gaze" and this band. I grew up through this timed never heard of them. I think the documentary was very revealing. I won't both to look further. Very weak and childlike. Succeeding where they had no right to.
I stared listening to indie rock and got introduced to loveless by my crush when I tried to impress him. Didn’t end up together…but still thankful for this masterpiece
"Revolutionary" & "boundary-pushing"? Pretty bloody boring!
