The My Bloody Valentine Reissues: Surprise, They're Delayed
Waiting for the My Bloody Valentine reissues? Well, you'll have to wait a little longer: "The two albums were due to be re-released by Sony this week, but there has been a last-minute hold-up while [Kevin] Shields, true to form, labours over his liner notes." So, uh, those preorders will come through sometime around 2013, then? [Telegraph via The Daily Swarm]
Patti Smith and My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields will release a double-CD recording of The Coral Sea. The discs will draw from performances in 2005 and 2006, at which Smith recited a poem about the death of her friend photographer Robert Mapplethorpe while Shields made what was presumably an ungodly amount of noise behind her with guitars and effect pedals.
