    Alan McGee Attacks My Bloody Valentine's Comeback Tour

    Alan McGee has launched a scathing attack on My Bloody Valentine's 2008 comeback tour calling it “nostalgic cabaret”.

    Writing on his Myspace blog McGee, who signed MBV to Creation, attacked Kevin Shields saying his only trick was the infamous noise levels of the band.

    He wrote: “Their is a beautiful irony that the ''nostalgic cabaret'' that is my bloody valentine are throwing at people in 2008 gets critical acclaim in the easily pleased UK press with MBV still playing the exact same set they did 20 years ago and the only trick Kevin Shields has anymore in 2008 is actual volume and double extra pa to numb you and zero new songs.”

    The man's not bitter, honestly.

    Elsewhere in the blog McGee praised the new Mogwai album, 'The Hawk Is Howling', saying it is better than 'Mr Beast' and 'Happy Songs For Happy People'.
