This is NOT a Fucking Tour

I'm super stoked that shoe-gazer gods My Bloody Valentine are back together and will be touring, but they're pulling a slightly better Social D move here. Check out the dates.
September 19, 2008 Monticello, NY. All Tomorrow's Parties festival September 20, 2008 Monticello, NY. All Tomorrow's Parties festival September 21, 2008 Monticello, NY.

Hmmm, New York, ONE Chi-town date and then Cali. Bullshit, says Debauchery. That is not a fucking tour. That's nothing more than hipster appeasal appearances. Why not do the whole country? The Stooges got it together and they had almost as much time to get over their bullshit as My Bloody Valentine. From now on, bands who decide to play exclusively on either the East or West coast must admit that they're afraid of overall reception and only cater to markets where they are sure to get their ego's stroked. There is no glory in this kind of routing, only the obvious hesitation that you're nothing more than a fading nostalgia act. This is exactly what My Bloody Valentine will never be considered and which is why it's so perplexing they'd cop to a feeler tour to boost their egos. Fuck it guys, just hop in the Econo and rock this rapidly fading republic.
