while recently thinking about gratuitous swirl pop worship and the brief but lasting mark of MBV, I happened upon this witty little comment from
a brief history of amazing disappointments -

the only reason we still deify kevin shields is because he had the sense to disappear before he turned into something awful. a smart move. what would we think of my bloody valentine today if we had just suffered through ten years worth of ill-advised drum n'bass experiments, the post rock years, and then ... er ... rock revisionism.

another reviewer of the Guitar album (I can't remember to credit him/ her - apologies!) said something to the effect of recently subtly seeing neo-shoegazer bands slip by unnoticed for all the loud hype around the whole garage rock revival. as a 25-year old, this is the first time I'm seeing my own seminal music being nostalgically rehashed - a milestone, to be sure.
