I have an old Stempel Glass Grenade Fire Extinguisher. Does anyone know what the chemical is inside the glass ball?
I liked your story, but you are letting a lot of emotion to the talking right now. Business is tough. Did you do any research on the 70%. A lot of people fail in business because it gets hard and people get lazy. Need to have a plan, have some contacts, work hard, and do it again but not in that order. As you Dad to help you, not once, but again and again. Pick his brain.
I like what Shields does, and I like My Bloody Valentine, and much of the shoegaze it spawned on both sides of the Atlantic in its wake. There can be no denying that Loveless was easily one of the most influential albums of the 1990s, and continues to be, That said, a little goes a long way with me. To me, MBV always sounded a little like an unfinished experiment; like he was reaching for something that just technologically wasn't quite in his grasp I really regret that there was no follow-up album; Loveless will also always stand as one of the great cliff-hangers in rock. Shields greatest assets are in his vision of texture and his warping of beats, but within a polymorphous cloud of pop sensibility. As such, he is brilliant and fascinating, and it is no wonder that musicians especially would be drawn to his work. But as a listener, a certain samey-ness sets in too, for me at least Which makes my mind start wandering So, while he is great at what he does (or did), he's also kind of boxed himself into a very limited realm. I expect he'll spend his life as a much in-demand session/backing guitarist or maybe producer. But whatever it was that made MBV vanish off the face of the earth, is also holding him backimho None of that is a dis, I love those records (and I like his backing for Primal Scream). But it is as fair an assessment as I can muster for a very erratic genius BQ: I can't single one out; the studio is as important as the guitars But Loveless ought to be heard by anyone who hasn't heard of it.
