Living in North America just got a little sweeter. My Bloody Valentine announced today that their country club set in upstate New York for All Tomorrow’s Parties won’t be an isolated appearance (TMT News), as The Roseland Ballroom receives the honor of being the second stop on My Bloody Valentine’s first North American tour in 16 flippin’ years! I’m so excited I stopped doing actual work, closed Gawker.com, and jammed on my headphones to listen to Loveless. (BTW, headphones are totes against the rules at the Real Job.)

Tickets aren’t listed yet, but I would advise keeping a close watch on the MBV website and doing a ceremonial chant or five. And this might be pushing it, but our luck seems to be on the up-and-up, so maybe Patti Smith will decide to relive her two onstage experiences with Kevin Shields in ’05 and ’06, documented on The Coral Sea (TMT News). Eh?
