I am listening to #Loveless by #MyBloodyValentine this morning - attempting to come to terms with how disappointing I found it when it was released. And regretfully I still think it sounds weak and it leaves me cold. I saw MBV loads between 86-91 and I own all the 12"s and it makes me sad but Loveless isn't that good - it is indulgent and bloated. It needed editing into a good EP. #ARKane knock them out of the park.

I'm on a new server for 2025, so let me redo my #introduction

  • my name is Arctaxia or Arctax or Arctic (in order of preference. i'd recommend calling me Arctaxia in formal situations and the other two for all else)
  • i'm an amateur illustrator and linux user with some web development knowledge (no JS though, which I also try to avoid using unless absolutely necessary, mostly because I don't know it yet)
  • Worldbuilding project = Cyber Anima, which explores the world surrounding KDE Valley, and tries to expand on it and bring it to life in an oddly introspective way
  • I used to be on Google+ (underage, even, which was crazy). I was arcticlunar15.
  • the server I started Fedi with was toot.garden - even though it's vanilla mastodon, the moderation team is wonderful :)

other interests:

  • dreampop, shoegaze, and shoegaze metal (think Slowdive, Alcest, My bloody valentine; some non-shoegaze bands I also listen to are Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead)
  • I have two sonas, a hisuian zorua/zoroark, and a mantled beast (formally a Cyber Jackal) that lives in the Cyber Anima universe
  • i like software/foss mascots; they're fun to draw, and I will play any game that features them :xenia_trash:
  • i've gained an interest in Studio Ghibli lately, so you may notice its influence in my newer illustrations

I'm really shy with new people and have low social energy, so I'm sorry if I take a while to reply to you. I might also vent in follower only posts sometimes (with proper cw), so beware of that
My discord is arctaxia if you want to find me there, but my DMs are closed

HELLO. Courtesy of a linkshare from Alexis Petridis elsewhere, recommended to all #MyBloodyValentine fiends -- audio of a 2018 show in Japan. Alexis called it "literally the best MBV live recording I've ever heard, and I've heard scores of the bloody things. It's not just a distorted noise, you can hear the vocals, you can hear what the individual guitars are doing - *including during the instrumental section of You Made Me Realise*, FFS ." I mean, sold. #music #shoegaze drive.google.com/file/d/1ZsLHp

💿 Le 21/11/1988 #MyBloodyValentine sortait son premier album studio "Isn’t Anything", (que des mini et EP avant ça). C’est la formation définitive avec Bilinda au chant et à la guitare depuis Nov 1987.
Les sonorités du Shoegazing et les prémisses d’un Loveless sont audible. Le groupe est sorti du post punk/goth des débuts et explore de nouvelles pistes sonores. l’album est remasterisé en 2012, puis en 2018 depuis les bandes analogiques d’origines. (Comme Loveless à la même période.)
