My Bloody Valentine is back together and doing a short North American tour this summer. Fortunately for any Chicagoland residents they’re making a stop in our home town September 27th. I just grabbed my tickets and I’m anxious for this show. MBV hasn’t played in the states in 16 years so it’s pretty big deal… well to some. It reminds me of when the Pixies got back together a few years back. If you’re a fan of shoegazer My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless is an essential for your collection.

The latest edition of Sound Opinions (The world’s only Rock and Roll talk show) features Andy Cirzan aka DJ Lo-Fi playing his “Santa Set …. further adventures in holiday obscura”. It’s a collection of random Christmas tracks that DJ Lo-Fi has spent years accumulating by scouring dusty record bins. There’s even a collection of some nice Christmas album artwork.
