    "comment": "Number 29 on the countdown of top albums played on Drive Time in the last year! \n\nFun facts about Loveless: 1. It Took 19 Studios and Nearly Bankrupted a Record Label\nThe album was recorded in a staggering 19 different studios over a two-year period, with a rumored cost of £250,000. The painstaking production process caused tensions with Creation Records, whose co-owner, Alan McGee, ultimately dropped the band due to Kevin Shields’ relentless perfectionism.\n\n2. The “Glide Guitar” Technique Redefined the Instrument\nKevin Shields’ signature sound—achieved by wiggling the guitar’s tremolo bar as he strummed—created the dreamlike “glide guitar” effect that became synonymous with Loveless. It’s an illusion of layers, but in reality, the album has fewer guitar tracks than most demos.\n\n3. The Drums Were Almost Entirely Sampled\nDue to drummer Colm Ó Cíosóig’s health issues, most drum tracks were created from samples of his playing. Only two songs feature live drumming: “Only Shallow” (the opening drums might be the clearest sound you’ll hear all album) and “Come in Alone.” Shields meticulously constructed the rest from scratch, a painstaking yet groundbreaking process. https://www.thatericalper.com/2024/12/30/5-surprising-facts-about-my-bloody-valentines-loveless/",
