I just glanced at this and I thought it said " Polvo vs. Bullet For My Valentine".

I was considering suicide until I saw that there was no such poll.

My mind is in the gutter.


I choose Polvo. I've been listening to "Exploded Drawing" and "Today's Active Lifestyles" a lot lately.

too bad neither isn't an option.

I hear polvo is having some legal trouble as far as this reunion tour thing goes.
supposedly since they stopped playing many states have passed the 'Polvo law' stating that any band as or more boring than Polvo will be prohibited from performing live in concert.
The Chicago show is not in danger, by the way. The way the law works here is that it's illegal for a band to actually be any more interesting or show more enthusiasm than a pile of rocks on stage. They'll be fine.

i'm lucky enough to have seen both. mbv at a small to midsized theater, and i was in a band that opened for polvo bitd (i am old). mbv: freaking awesome. as great and powerful a live show as some of my all time live favorites (melvins, unwound, nation of ulysses). when we played with polvo i didn't know much about them, but was blown away as well. nice guys to boot.

i think its a decent comparison too. both are experts at doing weird shit to get weird sounds out of guitars, and both pull(ed) it off amazing well live.

i vote mbv to help even it out.

Pile of Rocks rules!

It isn't 1998 any more and ambivalence and boredom isn't as sheik as it used to be.
I'm hoping Polvo have hopped onto the Red Bull bandwagon and will deliver a more energetic experience than in the past.

I will like the music either way and am going.

That won't be hard.
He stops whatever bullshit he's playing, lifts his leg and lets out one fart and it'll be twice as exciting as their past shows.

I think you meant "chic."

Good times.

Nope, I mean that guy.
