After that the studio seemed be huanted by cow sprites , images of things with big almond shaped eyes would come to me when I was falling asleep trying to write lyrics , I decided they were cow sprites , maybe they weren’t #TimsTwitterListeningParty

I also used to like playing pranks( pretending to be a ghost and stuff ) on Dave Anderson the engineer/ owner of the studio , his extreme reactions only encouraged me more #TimsTwitterListeningParty

my bloody valentine @MBVofficial

on the last day he told us the reason he got so freaked out all the time was because the studio was haunted and he didn’t want to freak us out by telling us #TimsTwitterListeningParty

my bloody valentine @MBVofficial

he was a good bloke , I think I would have felt a bit different about my cow spirit visitations if I had known #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Colm One early evening we were in the studio in Wales and Kevin was working on a guitar sound ... playing quite loud and using the tremolo arm making sounds a bit like a cow mooing... #TimsTwitterListeningParty

my bloody valentine @MBVofficial

as he was playing it the sound got bigger and seemed to surround us ... then we realised that the cows in the field next to us were coming to honour their guru... we could hear them starting to surround the studio... #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Kevin kept going and they were starting to go mental.. engineer Dave Anderson came running over to save us thinking we didn’t know what was going on .... not sure how many cows ... 20-30 ... it was getting a bit scary though #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Feed Me With Your Kiss This was the first song we recored in the 11 day session , when we were getting the bass sound the speaker fell off the shelf ( it was a tiny studio with NS10’s on a shelf at head height on the left wall ) #TimsTwitterListeningParty

and the engineer instinctively put his foot out to stop it , it broke his foot but he was a good sport about it and I remember it as a good atmosphere recording wise , except for the 10pm curfew due to being in someone’s basement #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Sueisfine Listen to the guitar in the very beginning it suddenly changes sound right before the bass and drums kick in , it’s because I accidentally hit the tone switch on the jaguar guitar , it sounded good so we didn’t redo it #TimsTwitterListeningParty

my bloody valentine @MBVofficial

actually it's just after the drums kick in, sorry :)

my bloody valentine @MBVofficial

most things are first and second take , mainly because we wrote  in the studio so by the time we came to record , it was in that magic place where you know the arrangement but are still working on 50% instinct #TimsTwitterListeningParty

The vocal are just stream of consciousness based on person we new #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Several Girls Galore The loud bass drum in this was us being influenced by 808 bass drum sounds and having zero idea what it actually was that made an 808 , didn’t achieve it #TimsTwitterListeningParty

my bloody valentine @MBVofficial

did want to make the guitar sound like racing cars tho which was a bit more successful #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Bilinda Also I do remember going for a brilliant ride on the back of a motorbike with Geoff and going straight over the handlebars when I tried to ride it myself #TimsTwitterListeningParty

my bloody valentine @MBVofficial

Bilinda Kevin fell asleep in a bath for hours and nearly got hypothermia #TimsTwitterListeningParty

my bloody valentine @MBVofficial

Bilinda I also rescued a sheep that had had a prolapse #TimsTwitterListeningParty

my bloody valentine @MBVofficial

Bilinda I also remember the fighter  planes from the RAF headquarters flying by regularly in Wales and the cows mooing when Kevin was recording #TimsTwitterListeningParty

You Never Should All the songs on isn’t anything are purposefully raw and we had mostly just done everything as we would live with no extra bits or vocal double tracking to sound nicer #TimsTwitterListeningParty

my bloody valentine @MBVofficial

we also had a no comping vocals from different takes rule , everything had to be a single take from beginning to end , we did break the rules on quite a few songs tho as the rules were just ideas #TimsTwitterListeningParty

my bloody valentine @MBVofficial

this song and the next one are the easiest songs to play live #TimsTwitterListeningParty
