294a - 33 1/3 Loveless (Book) - Author's Choice





Another round of 33 1/3 book where the author lists their take on related music.  If memory serves (read the book over a year ago), this list was "They Did It First" sort of thing, saying that MBV was the pinnacle of a noisy shoegaze genre that had been building for decades up to that point.  Lots of long, freak-out jams on this one.  I like this selection, except for the last track, I really struggle seeing the relation to MBV or the genre at all.
