Bloody Valentine’s Day
By
I saw these folks with The Jesus Lizard and Sonic Youth in 1991, and to my surprise they were just about the loudest thing I’d ever heard. At the end of “You Made Me Realise,” they descended into a 15 minute chasm of noise that was more or less what I suspect the interior of a jet engine would sound like. It was awesome. A friend of mine observed later that “after ten minutes, the thought of the sound not ending stopped bothering me.” Shame they stopped after Loveless, though I understand a reunion might be in the works.
Anyhow, Valentine’s Day is an idiotic load of tripe, but this makes it a little more endurable.
