Unlike the Joy Division book and mix, I DO want to share my take on an overview of MBV. While I stayed away from the first half of their career for this selection (similar to the book), this mix focuses on the Creation and onwards period, up to their reunion. I did my best to limit this to only three tracks per album/EP, and then threw in some oddities and rarities to keep it interesting. They're still one of my favorite bands, and I remember how blown away I was when I blindly dove into "Isn't Anything." Loved them even more when I read in an interview that they are named after the wonderful Canadian horror film from 1981.
