Overview
It is said that during the making of [Loveless], such was [Kevin Shields]' singularity, that Creation Records' bigwigs Dick Green and Alan McGee - to whom Shields was contracted - went grey and bald respectively overnight. \"That wasn't my doing and I'm sure it didn't happen,\" Shields shrugs. \"But wouldn't that be a great power to have?\" He chuckles, then his jaw muscles bunch. \"You know, people shouldn't sign bands like us if they don't want to take on that responsibility. It's like getting a pack of big dogs and not feeding them. We were taken on . . . carelessly. I just wanted to focus on music but McGee and Green hadn't encountered someone like me before, a person that they couldn't control.\" eulogises pioneering Pil guitarist Keith Levene (\"just sublime and utterly without ego\") and Killing Joke's Geordie Walker (\"this effortless playing producing a monstrous sound\"). He even has a soft spot for the Cockney Rejects, pugnacious purveyors of football singalongs. \"Great guitar,\" he marvels, fingering a bar-chord air riff. \"And always for the greater good of the song.\" albums had to have \"a digital and physical distribution deal in place in the UK\". m b v was self-released, with the digital version available only through the band's own website. \"In their eyes,\" he concludes, after a lengthy, comma-free rant, \"what we're doing is illegal. Not within 'the rules'. We don't exist.\"
